Check out this video (but mostly the song) by solo "experimenter" Dilian, who claims to be a "human who makes and records and plays music," employing "different sound making devices and mathematical equations" resulting "in a variety of shapes and sounds that can be enjoyed by people of all sizes". Whether this is true or not, we are really enjoying this dark electro-goth-shoegazer number… This is the Sister Mantos remix of the song "Barricades" – (as posted in The Deli’s Open Blog – post your band’s entries, videos, and Mp3s here).

Get spiritual, holy, and divine with Jump Into the Gospel as they mark the end of their month long Pianos residency on June 29. And if you prefer breasts (women’s breasts to be precise) to indie rock or if you dig both equally, you should be aware then that the free show is co-hosted by photographer Henry Hargreaves’s book 3DD: "A Celebration of Breasts" (in 3D!) – now that’s not very holy, is it? The band is getting some deserved attention lately so this is a good opportunity to check them out.

It’s indeed a perfect time for Brooklyn-based Finding Fiction to release a new record – which by the way will be free like these sunny days: “Migraines and Sheep” (scheduled for July) is an album pertinent to the season of rooftop parties, "chillaxing" on the beach, and bbq-ing with friends: it dances with upbeat percussion, bleats with dreamy keys and guitars, and comforts with its chilled out melodies and vocals. Check out the title-track single embedded here, and also the song “Weathermen”, which rings out with clunky drum sounds, and bleeps and whirrs in intricate ways like some sort of industrial-pop tune. Check out the band’s website for updates about the album release and upcoming shows. – Lauren Piper
