Mark Badinson – https://soundcloud.com/mark-badinson

Badinson creates a nostalgic vibe with his home produced low-fi sound. Haunting guitar fills some of the background sound as a drum beat pulses inconspicuously along side, not as a mention, merely to keep the song at the correct tempo it seems. Mark’s reverb laden vocals – although relatively indistinguishable – only add to the charm of the production. Worth a listen for some very laid-back vibes, check out his band camp and spotify page for more.

 

 

 

Adam Yoo – https://soundcloud.com/adamyoo_music

Hailing from Canada, Adam Yoo creates a vibe that will mellow you out and melt you into your couch. His low-key chill out music seductively floats around the room, luring anyone within an earshot into eargasm. His SoundCloud page sits with thousands of listens and comments from his active and ever growing fan-base.

In 2016 he released his debut EP, DReAMS, available on BandCamp for purchase. The title track taking you to the beach, seagulls and waves crashing in the background while Adam nonchalantly slaps his guitar.

 

 

Land of Trees – https://open.spotify.com/artist/4Jew7xYlCjBxm0BLAcRdIn

Land of Trees are an indie-folk band from Sweden drawing inspiration from mother nature and artists the likes of Ben Howard, Passenger and Mumford and Sons. The softly spoken three piece consists of Marcus, Daniel and Pontus who write enjoyable and melodic songs using stalwart folk instruments like the acoustic guitar, banjo and harmonica. Have a listen in the embedded SoundCloud player and don’t forget to follow these guys for more sweet original music.

 

 

 

MaJLo – https://www.facebook.com/MaJLomusic

MaJLo’s striking vocal harmonies and multi-instrumental mastery make for an effortlessly enjoyable musical experience. Originally trained as a jazz musician, MaJLo successfully combines genres such as pop, indie and electronic sounds to meld into his own fascinating mixture of ear candy. At times sparse, at other times dense, at all times interesting, MaJLo is fast becoming a favourite of mine to chill out with.

 

 

 

 

The Natterjacks – http://www.thenatterjacksofficial.co.uk

The Natterjacks are a duo hailing from Chesterfield in Derbyshire consisting of good friends and brilliant musical team Freddie Bingham and Mark Evans. Producing an upbeat and earthy sound with the guitar, a banjo, kick drum and tambourine, the guys create a sound the likes of Mumford and Sons, Ben Howard and The Avett Brothers to name a few. Be sure to check out their great latest offering, ‘White Peak’.

 

 

 

 

Blissful Red –soundcloud.com/blissful-red-1

Blissful Red is Dream Pop at its best, melancholy set against the strumming of a looped guitar, solos effortlessly laced on track, if you want easy listening say no more, well actually say Blissful Red. He has been likened to musicians such as Beck, Pink Floyd and The Grateful Dead. Although there’s only one song on his Soundcloud, he has an EP out on iTunes (follow the links) and a new EP “tentatively set” for summer 2017.
