#Indie Spotlight | Vinyl Pinups

What started in Nashville as a casual college dorm room collaboration between Khara Lord and Brennen Aerts years ago has flourished into Los Angeles-based electronic pop duo Vinyl Pinups. The pair create infectious, optimistic songs evoking images of summer, beaches and better times. Their summery, irresistible debut single, “Gold Rays,” even recently caught the ear of Ryan Seacrest -- who debuted the music video on his television program in the dead of winter. vinylpinups

#Indie Spotlight | Nova Albion

San Francisco-based quartet Nova Albion takes their title from the name Sir Francis Drake gave the territory that eventually became California, a land of endless opportunity and exploration. The quartet certainly treats their music that way - playing as party rock band Music for Animals for the last nine years only to decide to pause and completely reinvent themselves. They already have the chemistry and collective songwriting process down from their MFA days, but the precision and heart in their new material demonstrates considerable growth and huge potential for a future in the pop-rock world if their upcoming full length keeps up the precedent set with the excellent Nature EP.

#Indie Spotlight | Dead Times

Los Angeles based trio Dead Times routinely lists Marvin Gaye and J Dilla among their influences. The seemingly incongruous pairing works though, and helps dissect what exactly is happening in the experimental R&B tunes the three have been churning out the past few years. With more recording in the works, they’ll have everybody grooving by the end of 2014.

#Indie Spotlight | Cheerleader

The bedroom project of longtime friends Joe Haller and Chris Duran has left the house to finally be shared with the world. The now-quintet’s breezy, well-produced indie pop music offers both the catchy melodies to land on the blogosphere’s summer playlists and the lyrics to give it staying power. The group has only released three songs, but that small demo resulted in attention from premier music magazine NME and MTV, as well as a slew of showcases at SXSW in Austin last month.

#Indie Spotlight | Beat Connection

Creatively combining traditional instruments, dreamy vocals and walls of synthesizers, Seattle trio Beat Connection is incredibly versatile. Garnering attention from tastemakers like Pitchfork and the Guardian’s “New band of the day” feature over the past couple of years, Beat Connection are poised for a huge 2014 with an extensive tour and new record in the works.
