So Smart
“So Smart” by Indoor Voices.
Casey Mecija of Ohbijou recorded vocals for this song some 3-4 years ago with producer Chris Stringer, but the song was shelved. What we’re hearing today is a near-complete rework of the song, as the only things kept from the original recording are the vocals, bass line, and flute parts. Blending shoegaze, dream pop and atmospheric elements, you’d think this was from a lost KC Accidental EP or something forgotten in people.
For more listening, check out the virtual single with another song “After” which features vocals from Sandra Vu of SISU, a remix by White Flashes, and the original version or “premix” of the song.
Indoor Voices is the result of a collection of songs written by Jonathan Relph, the earliest dating back to sometime in 2009. It’s his birthday today, so do him a favour and pass this song along to someone.
Lucky Numbers
After Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner of Generationals finished touring their LP Actor-Caster in 2011, they decided to try something different with recording their new material. Instead of tracking all the songs in one studio as they’ve always done in the past, the band packed up their mics and pre-amps and set out to “wherever” New Orleans for their latest EP called Lucky Numbers. ”Wherever” meant in different friends’ kitchens or living rooms, basement apartments, or empty old houses and three songs recorded in the process made the EP (out in the fall). Expect more synth-heavy arrangements, as evidenced in the titled track, check out “Lucky Numbers”.

Shuffler.fm iPhone and iPad App
Here’s another great way to follow Indie Music Filter on the iPhone and iPad.  Check out Shuffler.fm’s iPhone app and their iPad app.
Shuffler.fm has always been a great audio magazine made my music blogs, where users can surf the music web through thousands of music sites and blogs, curated by tastemakers who filter the music information overload.  The great thing about their site is that as you change from one track to the next (whether playing a genre station or one specific blog), it takes you to that blog post that contains the next track, exposing you to new blogs you might not have know before.   Now, with the Shuffler.fm iPhone app and iPad apps, the radiozine goes mobile and they do it well.  Check out a screenshot above of how the most recent songs and videos that I posted on Indie Music Filter is listed.  Love it.
