Lato - Splendid Isolation [Song of the day]

Lato is an italian band that plays a mix of psychedelic music, post-grunge and new wave.

Splendid Isolation is a melancholic (kind of) ballad.

It is similar to some Soundgarden moments (fell on the black days?), Mark Lanegan, Mad Season, and all the most experimental post-grunge sounds. In the final stages of the song, a trumpet enters, as an exotic touch to the dark mood.

Blue Haired Girl - Morricone [Song of the day]

Blue Haired Girl is an indie-pop band. If I had to tell you some similar artist, I would say June of 44, Tortoise, Dirty Three.
But their mood is really original. In "Morricone" a simple, whispered melody knocked between strings, xylophone and guitars creates epic but gentle atmospheres.

Fluydo - 7 Full Moon - 06 [Song of the day]

7 Full Moon - 06 is a trip-hop psychedelic song by Fluydo.



They used to release one new track every full moon. This song sounds like Portishead, and some of the less ermetic moments of Tricky's production.

Circa Vitae - Shine [Song of the day]

Shine is a post-grunge song by Circa Vitae.



It is really tricky to define the genre it belongs to. IMHO it sounds like Smashing Pumpkins' most epic moments (like Thru the eyes of ruby) mixed in some passages with a sort of brit indie-rock (like late Smashing Pumpkins themselves, e.g. The Everlasting Gaze). Furthermore, given that My Bloody Valentine were one of the main inspirations for Corgan's band, some shoegaze echoes in the chorus could be heard.
