Another Airwaves act I'm interested in is CeaseTone, a classical music influenced indie band who reminds me a whole lot of The Dear Hunter, mixing strings, electronic elements, and beautiful vocals to a very pleasant result.
RIYL: The Dear Hunter, City and Colour, Minus The Bear, Sin Fang
Continuing a theme of bands with really long names, today's Most Important is from Swedish rockers Makthaverskan. I've seen them described as dark indie pop and that's accurate, and I find them very much in the vein of some classic 4AD bands. Think Cocteau Twins. They've got a new album out, III, and it's fantastic.
RIYL: Lush, Cocteau Twins, Cranes, The Sundays
Listening to their sunny, beachy sound, you'd probably never guess that Dreambeaches are from chilly Buffalo New York. Here's a pleasant track from their most recent EP for your Sunday morning and afternoon pleasures.
RIYL: Rooney, Walter Etc., Nada Surf, Ben Kweller
