This Weeks Featured Artist album: Laudanum - System:On

Style: Ambient/Goth/Progressive Electronic/Minimalism/Noise

For fans of: Bauhaus, Brian Eno/John Cale, Mars Volta, Kasabian

Perfect for projects with advanced edits and subjects leaning toward urban edge, sci-fi, contemporary tech or even horror atmospheres. This collection includes electronic metal tracks mixed with rich ambient soundscapes, some with a literary bent. Instrumental tracks are available for intros, credit roll, Goth/psychedelic sequences and theme music.

This eclectic and evocative collection reflects a move toward the dramatic with sustained themes and melody coupled with driving rhythmic intensity. Much of this work includes soaring keyboard lines matched by intricate percussion/noise patterns interspersed with piercing guitar riffs and intimate vocals.

Cuts such as “Nitelife” could be sampled from a warehouse dance/trance party while “Russian Moon” is nearly a lush new wave romp. Filtered vocals on “Catching Blue” backed by underscored sequenced percussion tracks and blend of rolling raw guitar noise best exemplify the sophisticated and high-energy approach that colors Laudanum’s deconstructed songwriting craft. “FWB” and “Words and Ideas” shows this band is not afraid to rock when it makes sense. Using vocals as instrumentation mixed with syncopated drums and guitar muscle are artfully blended to create intriguing mood and emotional textures.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Track A Tiger - I Felt The Bullet Hit My Heart

Style: Alternative/Indie Rock/Punk

For fans of: Elliott Smith, Low, Yo La Tengo

Perfect For: Films, TV programs or spots, and corporate branded projects needing atmospheric indie pop/rock. Also good for projects needing catchy and dreamy music with mixed vocal harmonies, strings and beats.

Dynamically spirited and sonically vibrant doesn't always mean loud guitars, especially if you're the atmospheric indie-pop and electro-textured slowcore outfit known as Track A Tiger. Fresh off the heels of their critically-acclaimed We Moved Like Ghosts, this band isn't resting on their laurels one bit, right off their Deep Elm Records debut. Deeply engaging and undeniably subtle with crushing boy-girl harmonies, sparkling keyboard effects and a wall of twinkling electronic sound, Track a Tiger is back with the fantastically named, I Felt The Bullet Hit My Heart. Cool to the touch, the aptly titled album saunters through twelve tracks of soul-numbing sweetness with Sandy Kim's falsetto in Don't Let The Nightlight Dance, which is downright charming. Dreamy indie-pop for you and yours? Bingo. The band keeps picking up comparisons to mega stars in the indie-rock world such as Yo La Tengo, Low, American Analog Set and Iron and Wine, because there is a genuine experimental quality to their highly creative, polished, lo-fi sound. The band's clever songwriting, ingenious arrangements and intricate instrumentation are not only pleasing to the ear, but also the psyche.

Instrumentals available as well as the vocal tracks.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Peplab - Ken Sent Me

Style: Dance/Electronic/Synth Pop

For fans of: Royksopp, Phoenix, Daft Punk

Perfect For: TV Spots, video games and corporate branded projects needing fun, upbeat and lively retro 80s inspired tracks. Also great for film or television programs needing music for dance club or flashback scenes.

Peplab's third album ‘Ken Sent Me’ is clearly inspired by many icons of the 80’s, but Peplab’s progressive production-skills always prevent it from becoming ‘retro all the way’: Peplab’s music definitely captures the sound of today and tomorrow. Supported through the years by tastemakers like Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim and Pete Tong, Peplab has built a dedicated international following, attracted strongly by both their contagious DIY attitude and their unique "dance/80's pop-crossover" sound, making them truly accessible and hard to ignore.

“Infectiously original grooves, unconventional sounds and strong vocal hooks to perfection, often blurring the lines between alternative pop-rock, 80’s electro and underground dance”. One of the best attempts that's the truly unique sound of Peplab.

Instrumentals available as well as the vocal tracks.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Teddy Presberg - Outcries from a Sea of Red

Style: Funk/Jazz/Psychedelic

For Fans Of: Medeski Martin & Wood, John Scofield, Jimi Hendrix

Perfect For: Projects needing a musical splash of original funk and vibrancy. All instrumental music that is ready for radio bumpers, TV shows, commercials and sexy theme music.

To hear songs from Teddy Presberg or any other band send an email to info@musync.com and we'll send you a link to three tracks.

The wait is over for critically acclaimed guitarist/improvisational composer Teddy Presberg’s newest musical contribution. Outcries from a Sea of Red is a musical exploration worth the wait.

One again Presberg delivers his fans fresh genre-bending music with a funky pulse through honest and raw recordings. The album features a handful of songs that seemingly blend into one another — yet each cover a unique musical purpose. From busted home studio recordings with cameos from his dog, dream sequences interspersed with live recordings at St. Louis’s infamous Delmar Lounge, jazz takes recorded in the dining room, and even mixing in the birds of spring as they sing from Presberg’s back yard.

Teddy Presberg’s original and masterful blending of genres will add a unique splash of color and vibrancy to any of your corporate-branded projects.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Public Radio - Sweetchild

Style: Pop/Rock/Indie

For fans of: Death Cab For Cutie, The Postal Service, Paramore

Perfect for: Film, TV shows and commercials, corporate branded projects that are targeted to teens and young adults. Also good for projects needing catchy pop/rock music with soaring boy-girl vocal harmonies and irresistible hooks.

At first listen, PUBLIC RADIO is intriguin, then, riveting, and soon, addictive. A dizzying collection of electronic beats, pop hooks and highly emotive vocals, their debut SWEETCHILD is pure, unadulterated "emotronic". It's a reflection of contemporary emotional life that will be applauded not only for the sheer strength of its songs, but also for the striking harmony of its individual parts. Lead singer and songwriter Mark Mathis' voice blends with the subtle electro arrangements so pleasantly, it's almost as if these songs found him. On a mission to make a difference, PUBLIC RADIO forges songs that are inspiring for personal and social change. Mathis adds, "The thing that I love about this album is that it's aggressive, but it will even make you cry. I still feel inspired when I listen to it. The album isn't necessarily anti-establishment, but the undertone of Sweetchild is one of resistance to the norm. Music shouldn't be treated like a commodity, which is often the case these days. It should be regarded as a driving force of social change." A perfect balance of raw energy, crafty songwriting and lyrical sincerity, this powerful debut will keep your ears dancing from start to finish.

Instrumentals available of the vocal tracks as well.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Pistol Opera - 2

Style: Hard Rock/Alternative/Pop-Rock

For Fans Of: Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Foo Fighters

Perfect For: Fast paced extreme sports footage, films and television shows with chase scenes, violence and quick cut editing.

To hear songs from Pistol Opera or any other band send an email to info@musync.com and we'll send you a link to the tracks.

Frustrated by a world where most albums feature only two or three decent tunes at best, Pistol Opera are ALL about the songs. Braden and Semain work their asses off to ensure every track off the P.O. assembly line meets rigorous performance standards. Can you run a marathon in record time to the rockers? Can you have the best sex of your life to the soaring anthems? How damp is the average pair of panties as one of their elegant ballads ends? These are the kinds of tough questions Pistol Opera pose to themselves during the forging of each and every musical nugget.

Pistol Opera's intense, melodic rock seamlessly fuses musical influence from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, the Stooges, Cheap Trick, early Van Halen, Stone Temple Pilots, and Foo Fighters. Lyrically, Pistol Opera set themselves apart from typical rock 'n' roll dumb-dumbs with a clever and humorous intelligence a la Morrissey and Eminem.

L.A.-based Eli Braden and Toby Semain write, record, and produce their music almost completely on their own. The pair shares creative input on song structures, chord changes, melodies, and what to have for lunch. Braden is the singer (and bassist), and handles the bulk of the lyrics. Semain is a phenomenal guitarist AND drummer (although not at the same time); he also engineers and produces the band's recordings. Band friend Mike Stromsoe expertly mixes the finished product.

Pistol Opera just released their second CD, the creatively-titled "PISTOL OPERA II", available everywhere music is bought and/or stolen. They perform live (as a power trio with drummer Jared Summerell) all over the place as often as they can. All songs available in vocal and instrumental versions.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Lola Dutronic - In Berlin

Style: French Pop / Electronica / Disco House

For Fans Of: Goldfrapp, Saint Etienne, Françoise Hardy

Perfect For: Films or tv shows that need seductive club music, scenes that involve a relaxing lounge under the sun, advertisements for high-end retail products

Lola Dutronic is a French Pop/Electronica duo, consisting of remixer/producer Richard Citroen and Berlin-based vocalist Lola Dee, who sings in both French and English. Their latest album “Lola Dutronic In Berlin” was recorded over a three week period in an abandoned Berlin apartment and mixed in Toronto. It also features Mike Garson (of David Bowie fame) on piano.

“Lola Dutronic In Berlin” is an album of soft melodies and nostalgic moments that are neither old or new, but nonetheless a pleasure to listen to. The twosome combines immense beats and offbeat orchestration to create an infectious exotica that could well be the soundtrack to an impromptu journey that is out of this world. Lola Dee has a dreamy, super-husky quality to her voice that is both sweet and seductive, which goes hand-in-hand with Richard Citroen’s fun-loving and somewhat childish and 80s electronics. Their songs have been featured in many films and television shows, including “The L-Word,” “Godivas,” “Blood Ties,” and “Perfect Strangers.”

Lola Dutronic’s mix of sultry, danceable grooves and shimmering synth-pop numbers would go well with films or tv shows that need seductive club music, scenes that involve a relaxing lounge under the sun, or advertisements for high-end retail products that need an upbeat dash of sexy, cool music.

Due to the compilation’s vast diversity, “The Synchronicity Suite” can be used for a variety of projects, including montage sequences and corporate branded projects.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Lullatone - Songs That Spin In Circles

Style: Electronica, Twee Pop, Children’s Music

For Fans Of: Colleen, I Am Robot and Proud, Piana

Perfect For: Commercials for toys, baby products, and electronic products; scenes that involve characters resting/dreaming peacefully; creating calm, soothing, serene atmospheres

Lullatone was formed in the night, when a restless Shawn James Seymour began composing soft, gentle pop tunes that wouldn’t disrupt the slumber of his girlfriend, Yoshimi Tomida. Their music, which the group likes to refer to as “pajama-pop,” is characterized by innocent, child-like quality and spare, lo-fi sounds.

Originally composed for their newborn son, the duo’s latest release, “Songs That Spin in Circles,” is a lovely and alluring collection of lullabies. These set of tracks were deliberately composed to loop seamlessly using the repeat function on your music player. Their sound is a saccharine delight of cute, minimalist melodies and sumptuous analogue tenderness. The group makes brilliant use of soporific instrumentation, employing glittery glockenspiels, warm sine tones, and fluffy percussion, with tape hiss as ambient white noise. “Songs That Spin in Circles” serves as the perfect bedtime background for babies and adults alike, kindly whisking you away to a magical dreamland.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: The American Dollar - A Memory Stream

Style: Post-Rock / Ambient / Experimental-Instrumental

For Fans Of: The Album Leaf, Explosions In The Sky, God Is An Astronaut

The American Dollar are an experimental instrumental band with post-rock credentials from Queens, New York.

The name and music are part of a series of contemplative reflections based on the world we live in, and exactly how we live in it. These expressions take the form of positive, negative, and neutral emotions depending on your viewpoint and the meaning conveyed in the music, whether it is love, sadness, thought, appreciation, rejection, etc.. Meaning is personally and individually creative, a large factor which makes us human.

A Memory Stream, the third release from NYC instrumental-duo The American Dollar (John Emanuele and Richard Cupolo) shows new sides and an overall more mature sound. Working in both rock and electronic zones the album is the bands most consistent effort thus far. Creating some of their richest ambiences and most explosive moments with tracks like Lights Dim and Bump, respectively, this album made top 20 lists of critics and listeners all over the internet late last year. Despite only having released this recently the band is currently deep into their fourth full length record, slated for release late 2009, amidst extensive touring around the United States.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Wendy Code - Am I Snowing?

Style: Rock / Pop / Electro

For Fans Of: Visage, Goldfrapp, Blonde Redhead

To hear songs by Wendy Code send an email to info@musync.com and we'll send you a link to three tracks.

Among the many new emerging groups each year from the French independent scene, it is often difficult to find that rare gem that stands out from the lot, while still maintaining a unifying approach to the music. It seems that in this area, Wendy Code has an overwhelming talent for their alter ego and Anglo-Saxon America.

With a first album that looks like a classic adventure, based in the 70s and 80s, the group that was born in Marseille hits hard. There is indeed a Glam Rock sound hanging throughout Am I Snowing?, not to say 'Rock Opera', without ever falling into kitsch or bad taste. Wendy Code is really a group of the new millennium that has digested its influences and its compositions to confer too much modernity.

An unlikely cross between Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Goldfrapp, Wendy Code takes its full potential on a few unstoppable titles where the voice of Wendy instantly seduces us, like 'Poupée De Nuit'.

The centerpiece of this amazing disc is undoubtedly the bold 'At The Party 5: 00 AM', a title which is also a story that we live 'live', or how to record live in the studio. The song arises gently before giving way to that famous refrain that might be burning-up the dancefloors, not to mention the surprising break in the toilets of a night club, in fact. History morphs and returns to more beautiful sounds.

Style: Folk / Country / Singer-Songwriter

For Fans Of: Jeff Buckley, Joe Henry, Brett Dennen

To hear songs by Max Gabriel send an email to info@musync.com and we'll send you a link to three tracks.

In 2006, NY-based Max Gabriel's music caught the ears of producer/keyboardist Scott Healy, whose wide-ranging performing and recording credits include Bruce Springsteen, Al Green, BB King, Jackson Browne, and Branford Marsalis. The result is a studio record of Gabriel's original songs, featuring the talents of some of New York's most virtuosic and well-seasoned musicians. Steve Holley (Wings, Dar Williams) and Shawn Pelton (Shawn Colvin, Bruce Springsteen) play drums, Glenn Alexander (Phoebe Snow, Elvis Costello) and Jimmy Vivino (John Sebastian, Phoebe Snow, Max Weinberg 7) play guitar, and fretless bassist Bakithi Kumalo of Paul Simon's Graceland are among a few of an ensemble that includes a full horn section and the celebrated classical group the Ahn Trio. Mark Geary and Kelley McRae lend back-up vocals. Max Gabriel's music is distinguished by startling lyrics, an unconventional voice, and often cinematic textures. At once literary and highly accessible, his songwriting has been compared to that of Leonard Cohen, Glen Hansard, and early David Byrne.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Dartz! - This Is My Ship

Style: Indie Rock / Math Rock / Dance Punk

For Fans Of: Bloc Party, The Futureheads, Q and Not U.

To hear songs by Dartz! send an email to info@musync.com and we'll send you a link to three tracks.

Dealing in equal parts visceral punk, splintering math rock and kinetic pop, Dartz bring the noise. It's a fun, riotous listen with genuine heart and intriguing complexities. It's not often that words like "discordant" and "melodic" are thrown about in the same sentence, but the band's willingness to let loose with raucous dance-punk abandon while delving into more adventurous, angular soundscapes -- all without losing sight of each song's irresistible hook and propulsive beat -- makes for a cohesive and addictively explosive good time. Instantly captivating and undeniably enduring, This Is My Ship keeps an animated pace throughout its twelve exuberant tracks. Songs like "Prego Triangolos" and "St. Petersburg" give you an idea of which dynamic, spiky Q and Not U-esque school of indie rock these boys attend, but the handclaps and catchy hooks on cuts like "Once, Twice, Again!" remind us that, first and foremost, the band is here to make you move. Still, pigeonholing Dartz as anything other than an extremely intelligent, complex and exciting band would be doing them an injustice. Off-kilter riffs and catchy choruses rip a melodic groove into your brain while intersecting instrumental passages are compelling enough to keep the hipsters zigging and the punkers zagging. Make no mistake: This Is My Ship is a phenomenal release...one of the most memorable, enjoyable debuts in recent history.

Ubisoft Imagine E3 Video

Ubisoft licensed music from Musync's catalog for this E3 video from last year. Client was replacing a Hilary Duff video. The song that was being replaced was "Why Not". They could not use the original any more as they did not have the rights so they replaced it with a Musync track.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Nobody - And Everything Else...

Style: Hip Hop / Downtempo Jazz / Trip-Hop

For Fans Of: DJ Shadow, Prefuse 73, Kid Loco.

To hear songs by Nobody send an email to info@musync.com and we'll send you a link to three tracks.

Nobody does electronic hip-hop like Nobody does.

The DJ/producer also known as Elvin Estela rose from the underground hip-hop scene of the 1990s, only to become its chameleon. What came next was a stream of soulful jazz/funk/hip-hop, and sunny electronica. And in his third album, Nobody proves that he is just as good as ever.

"And Everything Else" really does live up to its name. Nobody explores the musical niches he had previously left untouched, such as alt-folk, Latin music and psychedelic rock. But he also pays homage to his hip-hop roots, for fans of his previous sounds.

Nobody's third album is a complete mixture of various styles which includes Latin rap, bass-heavy big-beats, sunny psychedelia, electronica, and even a sad, sweet acoustic solo at the end. Yes, none of the styles entirely fit together, but the catchy beats and odd electronic touches keep them linked.
