Henry's Phonograph - Psychedelic / Rock - London, UK
Any group that cites the Fall, Public Image Ltd., and Django Reinhardt as influences is apt to catch my attention, but I must say I found the unique brilliance of Henry's Phonograph quite impressive. Recalling at times a vibe similar to that of 60's psychedelic groups mixed with a distinct angular artiness and sociopolitical awareness, this is must-listen material! Recommended tracks: "One Last Kiss", "Popular Capitalism", and "Ain't a Cloud in the Sky". They are also part of Road to V- be sure to vote for them here!

eat the weeds - Indie /Acoustic / Pop - British Columbia, Canada
Working on recording her debut album via Baker Studios for this summer, eat the weeds is the music of Daniela from Victora, British Columbia. This is modern acousti-pop with world music influences, sometimes recalling Alanis Morisette or Sia, and some top-notch songwriting as well- "In My Fading Memory" and "Will You Marry Me" are particularly recommended.

Movie - New Wave / Grunge / Experimental - New York, USA
Three-piece band Movie create music based around post-punk and shoegaze influences, with their debut album White Whales planned for release on July 7th, 2009. "Inside", which they have offered to A Future in Noise and our readers for FREE DOWNLOAD, and "Chase Day Two" are both excellent examples of the Movie sound.

Charlotte & Magon - Pop - Tel Aviv, Israel / Paris, France
Charlotte (from France) and Magon (Israel) communicated via the internet with each other for 2 years before meeting, falling in love, and creating a thoroughly lovely pop album Love Happening. With Air and Goldfrapp-like song structure and melodies recalling 70's pop, Charlotte & Magon's tunes are not to be missed, especially "Nine Cloud" and "Howard"!

Patrick Davy - Alternative Rock - Michigan, USA
Carrying on a singer-songwriter tradition in the vein of Tim Buckley and Neil Young for the modern era; "Afterglow" could easily be a radio hit everywhere, while "The Joke" (see Vimeo) is more somber and introspective. Patrick Davy's Where it Began is currently available on iTunes. (Thanks to reader Leo for the recommendation!)
