chiptunes, it sounds like your childhood time being glued to your tv, mashing your SNES pad, while behind you a small Japanese girl is singing cutely. Also, everything is made of happiness. :-D
I haven't found a review..

Appleseed Cast - Sagarmatha (2009)

Oh god, that can't seriously be the cover art?

Yep it sure is. Actually now that I think about it, their first album is the only one that has a good cover.

I agree, its a great album and she has the more high-pitched voice like Regina Spektor but she doesn't sing with such jagged rhythm.
I have to say though that i hope Vetusta Morla win the award because i prefer that album.

Alright some more stuff from the new kid. Don't know if any of this stuff is anybody's cup of tea, but check them all out if you haven't already listened to them.
First up,
Moving Mountains - Pneuma
Post-Rock stuff very similar to Appleseed Cast. This is their first album, they just released an EP called Foreword that is very good as well if anyone wants it.

Review from sputnikmusic
--- Quote ---Despite the fact that this album is largely influenced upon post and ambient rock, it is still worthwhile and should be invested in. It's catchy, infectious, and beautifully written but more so, full of talent. If given the time, I recommend checking out what they have up on their myspace, www.myspace.com/movingmountainsmusic. Considering it has its low points, Pneuma is still a solid album.

War Tapes - War Tapes EP

Review from Post-Punk
--- Quote ---Clocking in at six songs, this EP manages to combine their alternative, punk, post-punk and new-wave influences into an amalgamation of memorable songs that remind you of many bands yet don't exactly sound like any of them. Yes, there are elements of The Cure, The Damned, Joy Division, The Misfits & My Bloody Valentine but War Tapes' sound is doesn't really fall into any one of those band's influential grasp.
What I find most striking about their music is how well they marry monstrously dark sound scapes with melodies that you can sing along to. Although I think the real weapon of this band rests in guitarist Matt Bennett's powerful playing that can go from discordant to melodic in almost dizzying fury, I would say their secret weapon is bassist Becca Popkin's beautiful harmonies throughout each song that so perfectly compliment her brother Neil Popkin's bombastic baritone croon which is very reminiscent of The Damned's Dave Vanian.
Although there is nothing obscure or pretentious about their music, that certainly doesn't mean its sugar coated as front man Neil Popkin's lyrics pretty much never venture beyond a feeling of regret, longing and heartache. I don't find it happenstance that the EP starts with the track "Mind Is Ugly" where with a sense of helpless desperation He sings, "everything's my fault, everything at all, tonight I'm giving up, tonight I'm losing control". Given the song title and those lyrics, it's easy to see the mood that is easily captured and thrust upon the listener throughout this disc. There's a brutal honesty and personal transparency that I really admire in the songwriting as each song is just seething with urgency as it wears its heart on its sleeve and perfectly compliments the massive unrelenting sound that the band so deftly pulls off.
In essence, War Tapes are pure post-punk bombast with a knack for incredibly catchy melodies, dissonant guitar assaults drenched in reverb and a front man who can sing his despairing tales with a reckless sense of nihilism even when he's at his most vulnerable. I have no doubt that if this EP was on the racks of every major record store there's no doubt that it would fly off the shelves and end up in the pocket of anyone who's ever felt jaded, dejected or heartbroken. Basically, never has being depressed felt this good!

Tiger Lou - The Loyal

Review From absolutePunk
--- Quote ---The Loyal starts off with 14 seconds of "Woland's First". It's only a quick moment but leeways into The Loyal gently. Still, the mood kicks off like a slingshot. From here on, Tiger Lou is changing along with the album, existing in the album and breathing like the album. There is no escaping. The Loyal is its own being. Rasmus Kellerman is the man pulling the strings and pumping the heart. Almost all the album instrumentation was recorded by his lonesome with Peter Katis (Interpol, Denali, The National) lending his production. The payoff is stunning.

Doesn't have an album cover so i just put a pic up from their myspace. There are also two bonus piano versions of two of the songs included in the package.

Couldn't find a review, but these guys remind me alot of Brand New. When the lead singer screams, it is very emotional. Great band if you are into manchester orchestra or brand new.
