Irish folk-tronic band Jape has a fourth album! This precious work of art is entitled "Ocean of Frequency" and track number three is The Oldest Mind.

It's a given that whoever comes across EARMILK's Indie section are familiar with major indie bands, Dr. Dog and Bright Eyes. They were at least more popular in the early 2000's than this decade. Now, there's a dying trend of music produced with real instruments. I am guilty of following this new...
