* Les Savy Fav - Let’s stay Friends (Frenchkiss) : So I submitted to indie hypster art rock shit with the Brooklyn indierockers Les Savy Fav. Their uptempo indie stomp is catchy as well, filling in the shoes of last years Bloc Party for me.
* Pjusk - Sart (12K): Barren drony soundscapes from Norway by the duo of Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik and Rune Sagevik.

Janine Rostron aka Berlin’s Planningtorock is a wacko. Obsessed with reflections in her videos, she’s being dubbed the artsy Janis Joplin, but she sounds more like the little child of Matthew Herbert and Kevy B. She’s one hell of a creative lady with a new album on Chicks on Speed Records under her belt and she’s never afraid to take the songs on this album to new levels.
