Wise Blood (Album Release Party!)

Wise Blood is Chris Laufman, a young guy who lives in Pittsburgh and makes woozy, inward pop songs out of other people's music. Laufman's voice is usually the only original element in Wise Blood's songs. But Laufman's sample manipulation can turn something like the brontosaurus-stomp drums from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" into just one element of a funky swirl of a track. To hear Laufman tell it, he'd like to take over pop music completely in the next year or so. The first step in that campaign: a self-titled five-song EP up for free download on Wise Blood's Bandcamp page.

Big Baby Gandhi

brown rap legend from queens

Evi Antonio

One could ghettoize Evi Antonio and cite him as just another supplier of lo-fi bedroom pop, but with the irreverent way he layers PG-13 nursery rhymes over a carousel of synth-assisted sounds while perpetually seeming to have just inhaled a bunch of helium, his version sounds a little more whacked-out than everyone else's. Spread over a mini orchestra of toy-sounding instruments, the playfulness of songs like "Pipsqueak" brings to mind The Unicorns or Of Montreal. His Facebook page coaches, " You MUST not give a fuck." And if he truly doesn't, it's working out really well.
