OTOUTO - W.HILLIER (Dir. Alice Glenn) from two bright lakes on Vimeo.

These girls are adorable. I have slowed down with blog posts because I started an internship with Pegstar.net The other night Otouto played as support for Cocorosie. I really enjoyed the whole show but I was more than surprised with what the tall, pencil skirt wearing, aussi girls were doing and can't wait to put their album on repeat.

Bro. Steven

Bro. Steven is a side project from Scott Kirkpatrick of the band Chemic. In my opinion it shouldn't be his side project but who really knows where it will go. He recently released an EP on the ambitious 24-disc co-release with Crossroads of America Records and Flannelgraph Records titled the Laminar Excursion Monthly. They send you 3" compact disks. I hope Bro. Steven releases these tracks on another format but if not starting a 3" collection might be fun.

White Hinterland

I have been aware of White Hinterland for a few years. I first picked up her Philactory Factory album and thought that it was pretty fun. It didn't end up getting a ton of plays but I wasn't dissuaded from checking out her new LP. Kairos is a giant leap in the direction that I would have chosen for Casey Dienel's music. I loved the whispery swoonfulness on her previous album but I would trade it without question for the swanky seductress on these new tracks. This came out a few months back but I think this is just about the time to be listening to this one.
