"sometimes you revert to bleepiness"

I recently discovered several Netlabels that are producing music that is simply blowing me away. You'll be seeing a lot of stuff from them from now on.. I'm hoping after getting a taste of them you won't complain too much..

ST

I'll Meet You There EP
This EP hasn't left my playlist for hours.. The first time I played it I sat there just drinking it in till the last note faded. From what I could find online, it seems ST(short for Stefan Ternemar) is a Swedish artist who's been around(the netlabel scene) for 2 years or so.. during which he has released a handful of EPs.. Listening to the first EP, Emotion in a Box, it's hard to imagine that both EPs were created by the same artist. While still catchy, it's far removed from the lush indietronica of "I'll meet You There".
The Ep opens with "Csanca", a wistful pop track which delves into triphop territories at times. The piano that comes in around 1:50 and the vocals around 2:36 raise this song far above the standard indietronica track. The singer, Henrik José (Bliss) has a really great voice and is also a Monotonik artist. The subtle way he pronunciates is nearly hypnotic.(You'll hear more of it in "I'll Meet You There".. Don't worry) "I'll Meet.." has a steady guitar-strumming rhythm and a "The Notwist"-esque glitchy beat.. and "I Met a Girl With Butterfly Wings" is an warm, upbeat track with gorgeous female vocals skittering about. Listening to the EP as a whole is very pleasing and leaves me feeling all warm inside, hope you like it.
