Melbourne quintet Little Red write the kind of songs that can make any moment feel like the last dance at your senior prom -- or whatever the equivalent teen rite of passage would be in your life. Your heart races and your chest feels kind of tight, you're not sure if your going to...

Teeth & Tongue is Melbourne's university trained singer/guitarist Jess Cornelius with backup from collaborator Marc Regueiro-McKelvie and Damian Sullivan. We discovered her modern psych rock through the kaleidoscopic (and animated!) video for the haunting single "Sad Sun." New Zealand-born

Yuka Honda, of Cibo Matto and many other projects, has been collaborating with singer and violinist Petra Haden of That Dog, The Decemberists and many other bands. They've gotten help from guitarist Hirotaka "Shimmy" Shimizu and drummer Yuko Araki, both of the Japanese band Cornelius. They're

Watching Cologne's Niobe was a delight for the senses. This particular show was in the backyard of a local coffee shop and that “now I can die” smell of fresh-ground coffee floated into my nostrils. Mmmmm.... Then there were the visuals: My fellow listeners and I looked on in awe as a pretty girl...

Redefining "classic hip hop." Gabriel Prokofiev is a DJ that blew the dust off his grandfather's records, dropped them on his decks and cut them up. His brand of turntablist classical music is experimental, bringing the purist elements of his composer grandfather Segei Prokofiev into the modern age.

I want to watch the video for Teeth & Tongue's "Sad Sun" over and over again. I just don't know if it's the hypnotically beautiful song, or the animated yetis. The yetis are awesome, but there's a seductive psychedelic tug to the Australian band's new single that just makes you want to listen

New Zealand rock trio Street Chant is re-releasing their album in the US through Arch Hill Recordings. Hopefully, this will bring the young band the wider exposure they so richly deserve.

Looks like road-trip music videos are the new horrifically violent music videos. Chile's Dënver made a nice one recently and now Australia's Miami Horror has come out with their own ode to the highway for their new single "Holidays." Sure, it is a little weird. Like, the girl is annoyingly manic

It could be called reggae time -- a slow unfurling of temporal reality as time as a metronomic concept loses meaning and becomes something more elastic and less...

Happy Friday, world! Got weekend plans? Cancel them. Because the real party is right here. Yes, here. Haven't you heard? It's MTV Iggy's Artist of the Week poll! Who needs friends?? Here’s our roundup of our Bands We Like columns this week. You have until Monday night at 11:59 p.m. USA Eastern

He must ink pretty well. Inkswel has about as many synthesizers as the next Australian guy doing disco revival, but this one doesn't use his for the poppy stuff you hear from most. The Melbourne producer rocks odd melodies over synthetic drums and muffled voice samples, and though it's dancy, it's

Tame Impala's "Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind" off 2010's Innerspeaker was just fine as a dreamy-yet-somehow-bombastic Ratatat-style rock song. But, you know, maybe it did need a bit of polish. The scruffy Australian psych rock trio themselves could at least benefit from a haircut. UK producer
