Astronauts of Antiquity is a band out of New York City that draw inspiration from many different sources. The band does employ keyboards and the occasional glitchy beat, but their music is far from synthesized. Lush female vocals coo over guitars, bass and psychedelic flourishes. Fans of Nouvelle Vague, Stereolab and flute solos will be into this (flute solos are awesome!).

Gina & Tony
Gina & Tony are a duo from Genève, Switzerland whose new album “Moonbow” reveals many fascinating inspirations. The music feels like something you might hear in a retro futurist French cafe. Or a remix of a 1960′s James Bond movie soundtrack. Gina’s voice gives a visceral dose of ethereal cool to the electronic thumping and swooshing synth. The songs themselves are mellow enough where the listener decides if they’ll dance or not, but either way they’ll gently bob as visions of black turtlenecks, berets, and flying cars fill their heads.
