Mars Agro-Technology Is A Dead Bird
So theirs no real review for this album yet since it just came out but its rather interesting...The best way I can describe it is as slowly paced indiepop with strong hooks and some well placed keyboards/synths/samples that add a sense of technological paranoia, I guess its a bit of a loose concept album...But it is a rather enjoyable listen all in all
heres a random blog review (http://indiemusicfinds.com/tag/mars-argo/)

Lady & Bird - La Ballade Of Lady & Bird
Couldn't find a review since it's not out here in America, but this is some tremendous symphonic pop made by two excellent singers

Maps - Turning the Mind [2009]
--- Quote ---James Chapman, aka Maps, is yet another British laptop electro one-man band, in the mould of Calvin Harris and Theoretical Girl. He comes from Northampton, got a Mercury nomination for his 2007 debut We Can Create, and, in a great many ways, has no distinguishing features in a UK pop landscape awash with arty 80s-influenced synth revivalists. Except for one thing. His second album is a masterpiece that stands with the best - Depeche Mode, Yazoo, the Normal - of the Mute label's electro-pop past.
Turning the Mind is inspired by a strand of behavioural therapy, pioneered by US psychologist Marsha M Linehan, which attempts to blend cognitive therapy with the "mindfulness" meditation techniques of Buddhism. Or, to put it crudely - Be Here Now. Being a fan of Jason Pierce's Spiritualized, Chapman has chosen to mix this heady Zen therapy theme with a cocktail of drug references. Add bitter break-up lyrics, a truckload of twinkly 80s synths, a sense of hymnal melody pinched from European classical music, whispery harmonies, and beats borrowed from 90s shoegazing indie and Balearic disco, and you have a record that sounds like Pierce, the Pet Shop Boys and Dutch trancemeister Tiësto getting head-shrunk while tripping on a beach in Ibiza. There's a song called Valium in the Sunshine, just to punch the point home.
In anticipation, perhaps, of accusations of being pretentious and drug-addled, Chapman gets his rebuttals in early on the sky-scraping single I Dream of Crystal: "Don't get me wrong/But you can't knock what you've never done ... So get the fuck off my case." From there, Turning The Mind switches between misery, joy and bursts of anger as its dozen beautiful melodies bathe you in honey. It's the best pop album about beating depression since 1983's Soul Mining by The The. Buy now, and avoid the winter rush for Prozac.
