Every week, Hype Monitor wades through the most buzzed-about bands all across the Internet.
The Band: Her Space Holiday
The Buzz: One time depressive folkie brightens up, crafting forward-falling guitar pop songs that are as charming as they are simple.
Listen If: You miss the days when Weezer was a little less self-aware.
Key Track: "The Heartbreak Moment," where shoo-wop backing vocals glide between a steady strum and shuffling backbeat.
The Band: All the Saints
The Buzz: Based in the Bible Belt, All the Saints use echo-drenched, cataclysmic guitars as accompaniment to their prophecies of doom.
Listen If: You've got any part of the Book of Revelation tattooed on your body.
Key Track: "Regal Regalia," which opens like black metal but settles simply for black, a hailstorm of guitars hammering Titus Brown's woe-is-me vocals.
The Band: Dreamend
The Buzz: Dusky, druggy and myserious, Dreamend make heavy-lidded psych-folk designed to score late nights in open fields.
Listen If: All of your dreams contain black lights and lava lamps.
Key Track: "The Tulip Staircase," whose gaga title belies the surreal psych-out inside.
