Sea Oleena - "Island Cottage"
From Montreal, Charlotte Oleena a.k.a. Sea Oleena makes dreamy folk-inspired pop music that sounds like music Laura Gibson would make if she joined Memoryhouse. She has two EPs on her bandcamp although the self-titled one has more produced versions of all the song on the earlier Smudges. Oleena writes consistently laid back songs featuring on-and-off percussion and really simple but effective song dynamics. Each song rises and falls making the albums feel like watching a pendulum swing in slow motion for an hour. Perfect for late summer cloudy days.

Quiet Lights - Free EP
Quiet Lights fit right into the Twin Sister/Memoryhouse female lead dream pop scene (is that a scene?) but they definitely have their own take. On their free three song sampler they manage to be both consistent and diverse. Unlike other dream poppers, Quiet Lights feature a much more prominent use of drums ("No More Canyons") and somewhat of a post-rock influence ("We Live in Balloons"). "Quiet Truth, Weapon Thrown" is a quietly triumphant slow-builder that grows intense without giving up serenity.

Kruxe - "Tremors"
Kruxe's "tremors" is a lo-fi electronic pop jam that I can only describe as energetically squishy. All their stuff is pretty solid though. Since they are unsigned I am not sure if there has been an actual release yet but check out the myspace here.

Porcelain Raft – "See Through" video
[via]
Porcelain Raft continues pumping out videos for his gorgeous songs. This one is for the new track "See Through"features a foggy house and light dancing through a crystal alternating with the songs dynamics. Get it? Like, fog is hard to see through and a crystal is cool to see through! I get it. The song itself continues the memoryhouse vibe but in a more delicate way (which is to say that he whistles). Check it, yo.

Sweet dreams indeed. Brandon Biondo recently posted this jangly guitar lullabye, which is as soothing as it is simple. Warbling tape-effects, simple back beat and a loving coos make for one sleepy summer-is-ending song.
