BRAIDS debut ‘Native Speaker’ is out Jan 18th, here is what some people are saying about it:
BRAIDS is one of Spin Magazine’s best new artists for January
“Why they matter: Their full-length, Native Speaker, out now, is beyond typical genre classification. It’s poppy, yet many songs surpass the eight-minute mark. It’s full of urgent rock guitars and drums, yet rife with atmospherics and electronic swells, too. It’s Animal Collective’sMerriweather Post Pavilion with the velocity and wall-of-haziness of My Bloody Valentine.”
Lost in a Supermarket has an interview with BRAIDS here

“There’s no shortage of adjectives to describe Braids’ sonic experimentalism. Awe-inspiring. Swirling. Enchanting. Floating. Unique.”
Young Prisms ‘Friends For Now’ is out Jan 18th, Yours Truly on Young Prisms:
“I’ve watched these guys develop as artists over the past year, honing their live show, tightening their sound. From sneaking in the back to catch them at the Hemlock all the way to New York for some showcases, they’ve continued to get better. They get louder and louder each time, but simultaneously refine their melodies and musicianship as that noise builds. They’ve got a record coming out on Kanine early next year and there’s some good buzz surrounding them. Expect to hear a lot more from them soon in the city and beyond. The Young P’s are a great band and great people. They deserve all the success in the world. Go Giants.”
Dream Diary ‘You are the Beat’ is out Feb 15th, NY Press anticipated record for 2011:
“Dream Diary makes sugary pop music with just enough fuzz to own the underground. Like a bong filled with grapefruit juice, the group’s debut should be heady, sweet and put another notch in Brooklyn’s flirtation with bands like The Smiths, The Supremes and jangly contemporaries The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. …”
