Unlike others who tend to make a big deal out of the summer I prefer to be a hobbyist of the “in-between seasons” as I call them. Around this time of year I usually feel refreshed with a new “spark” persay, which leads me to discover new glass, tv shows, foods, and of course music. Released on...

Of all the newer albums we’ve heard in the last few years, one that never gets old is Tame Impala’s “Innerspeaker”. Though that album has kept us thoroughly entertained for a while, we were nonetheless excited to see that Tame Impala released some new material (and we were even more excited to see that they’re keepin’ it psychedelic). The band has always been credited with their awesome ability to bring...

One of my favorite new artists (just recently signed to Sub Pop Records) Washed Out (Ernest Green) has released his new album Within and Without. Pitchforks Brandon Sodoberg best describes this new sound that is infiltrating our headphones with ease “…chillwave as an idea and a sound is here to stay. Synthesizers are in; guitar-based rock has taken a backseat to diffuse, rhythmic dance music; and the sound’s key...

The Lonely Forest serves to be a breath of fresh air in the indie music scene today, moving away from the faddish big synths and small guitars that inhabit the scene today. Their newest feature length release Arrows has elements that remind you of Death Cab for Cutie, Band of Horses, and yes even blink 182. What makes them unique is that they’re finally bringing hard riffage back on the menu of indie music, with driven vocals and...

  It may just be our taste in music but usually at the IgniteMe office we like to have chill music going on in the background at all times. Something that encourages us to work and explore the industry but at the same time we like something we can sit back on the couch and dab to after a long days toil.
