Glowing Eyes by FLASHLIGHTS

Colorado’s FLASHLIGHTS have returned with a new EP of casually-crafted electro pop, aptly titled FLASHLIGHTS EP 2.  The songs have a fun, bubbly quality to them (especially on “Holiday” which sounds like a mix of Ben Gibbard and Chairlift). 

The track “Glowing Eyes” stood out as different with its Knight Rider-ish synth lines, ambient pools and dark vocals.

You can stream their entire thing ( + download 2 tracks for free! ) on their bandcamp página.  The song “New Hampshire” also appears on a split cassette with Force Publique.

Sugarless by Nixon Nights

These Denver kids get all progressive and stuff with their sounds.  I especially like what happens at 1:22.

Nixon Nights aren’t afraid to step out on a limb to catch that colorful butterfly.

Download their debut 2 song EP on bandcamp.
