If I could recommend you to listen to only one song today, it would be the instrumental piece 8.19 by Matt Stevens on Spencer Park Music’s Label Sampler (first song). Fortunately, however, there are tons of great tracks in this edition that are worth recommending. My favorite album this week is Red Robot’s Identification. I have also included several samplers to offer a bit more variety and a taste of more different artists and genres.

title="The Apache Relay Homepage" href="http://www.theapacherelay.com/website/">The Apache Relay – American Nomad

Genre: indie, alternative, roots

From their href="http://www.facebook.com/theapacherelay?sk=info" title="The Apache Relay Facebook">Facebook Biography: “The Apache Relay takes more long car rides than most bands. But only a portion of their car time is dedicated to their touring schedule — the rest is something like driving in the middle of the night from Nashville to Alabama and back, just to listen to a new record 12 consecutive times. Despite their wagon’s sketchy brakes, this happens a lot. It’s where the indie-roots band discovered a shared love for the timelessness of Motown records, the weight of Springsteen’s Nebraska, the textures of modern rock bands, as well as the intensity of really skilled acoustic players.”

American Nomad is a free download from title="The Apache Relay - American Nomad" href="http://www.noisetrade.com/theapacherelay">NoiseTrade.

title="Popcult Homepage" href="http://popcultband.com/">Popcult – selftitled

Genre: alternative, pop

From the album introduction on NoiseTrade: “It’s hard to believe a band like POPCULT hails from the American Midwest (Denver, CO). With sounds nostalgic of alternative brit-pop in its heyday (e.g. young Coldplay, early Muse), one would assume the band originated overseas, where they’d at least be old enough to buy a drink.”

Popcult is a free download from title="Popcult - selftitled" href="URL">NoiseTrade.
