April 20, 2010 | Everywhere New Music You've Never Heard Of ShopTalk: 13 New Albums, Merch, and More for Music Fanatics
Check out our favorite under-the-radar music picks.
Better than Bieber We’re smitten with folksy California newcomers Avi Buffalo’s smooth, atmospheric melodies. Their self-titled album ($12) debuts April 27; preorder now at Sub Pop to get four bonus tracks.
Follow Their Feed Out-obscure your music-snob pals by keeping tabs on Forest Family Records, a new label from bloggers Gorilla vs. Bear and Weekly Tape Deck that debuts up-and-comers on vinyl.
Woman on Top Theresa Andersson mixes klezmer, New Orleans blues rock, Feist-like vocals, and a hint of Motown (for starters). Catch her Big Easy performances this month or get her Live at Le Petit DVD ($20).
Free Your Mind The ’70s garage-rock jams on SXSW buzz band Free Energy’s debut release, Stuck on Nothing ($5), will take you on a road trip through Labor Day (think the endless summer mood of Dazed and Confused).
Back to Black After recording a lo-fi release in a Long Island surf shack, Small Black remixed their chill electro sound in a pro studio for their self-titled EP ($8). We’re kicking ourselves for missing their U.S. tour.
