White Noise Sound

White Noise Sound are an experimental psychedelic rock band who have been operating under the radar for quite some time now from their native South Wales. The music is an electronic, guitar-based, throbbing, pulsing wall of sound in the vein of Spacemen 3, Suicide and The Velvet Underground. Early releases have seen them feature on a split single on French experimental label Burning Emptiness and included on Fourier Transforms 3CD experimental collection 'Brave New Wales.

A Lily

A Lily is James Vella (of Yndi Halda) who makes magical electronic music that matches the likes of Boards of Canada. He has just been signed onto a new record deal to release his latest record. Similar to Yndi Halda, James makes beautiful music in his side-project, but it is nothing like the post-rock sound Yndi Halda makes, it's unique from that, and the ambient soundscapes created provoke a much more calm, serene feel to the music that other similar electronic artists can bring.

Evan Caminiti

Evan Caminiti's busy work with Barn Owl and Higuma didn't preclude him from the solo route either, with his 2010 effort for Three Lobed Recordings being an attractively dark example of his approach to guitar (and not simply due to the album cover art). Little surprise too that West Winds starts off not only with the wonderfully titled "Night of the Archon" but that it sounds simultaneously sweetly beautiful and darkly menacing; if it's not quite whistling past a graveyard...
