Original compositions in an old-timey "dark folk" cabaret style.

Sweet well-intentioned autobiographical acoustic-based alternative pop songs. Check out "Ballerina" and "Hell Yeah."

Soul-flavored pop, with very smooth commercial production. Great singer, just too commercialized.

Dramatic heavy synth rock. Lovely vocals. Unfortunately feels derivative, like they lifted pieces from somewhere else. Choruses are too...

Angst-ridden, musically competent band following the unfortunately popular formula of mixing screaming parts with melodic sections,...

Indie rock band imitating other more successful indie rock bands. However they have a good sound, and recordings are well produced....

Singer sounds like Thom Yorke, and the rest of the band sounds like a less interesting and more commercial version of Radiohead.

Indie rock band. Songs are monotonous repetitions of the same droning roiling guitar part. Not enough changes or surprises. Vocals are...

Oddly produced pop-rock -- various instrument volumes are randomly too loud at times and often distorted, perhaps purposefully. The...

Spirited, darkly themed, enjoyably sloppy, Gypsy & Irish influenced folk.

Spare, jaunty old-timey folk

Tamino specializes in spare, earnest/serious tunes highlighting his vocals and lyrics. Quality work, but unfortunately ends up meh.

Like The Strokes but poppier. We can't see the point.

Strong diva pop from a talented singer with a powerful voice. Many choruses are reminiscent of "Titanium," in a good way.

The best thing about this indie folk-pop-rock band is the lyrics. The funnier songs are more enjoyable than the sad ones. They've been...

Original, mostly instrumental music with synths and electric guitar, featuring some very listenable fusion jams. Elements of reggae and...

Pretty, echoey, diverse and poetic indie rock tracks. Excellently done shoegaze parts. Strong vocals. Check out "Silt," "Rust" and "Five of Swords."
