For the past four years, the Boulder record label Adventure Records has released a vibrant collection of local music.  This year's release marks the label's fifth year, and they've assembled another eclectic roster of bands and singer-songwriters.  The CD will be released August 15th at the release party at the Hi-Dive featuring the Swayback, , Three Cheers Faraday, John Common, Goodbye Champion and Kissing Party.

By way of introduction, we're profiling all the bands on this year's volume.  Some of the names may be familiar to you, but if they are't, be prepared for a big boost in your indie cred (which, unfortunately, might not be as cool as actual street cred).  Welcome to Part III of Get To Know Your Local Band.

This is one band that is very skilled in using musical powers of suggestion to create a plateau of unbelievably intricate textures and fiery passages.

The Colorado electronic music scene is blossoming with the help of Sonic Bloom, the state’s major electronic music festival, which just completed its third year in Winter Park, this past June.

The event brought some of the nation’s most respected electronic musicians to the Rocky Mountains, as well as some local underground favorites.

This sophomore release from Baltimore’s Beach House builds upon the dreamy, fairy tale cabaret sound of their eponymous debut.

Their sound is one that captures the mood of later summer nights reminiscing by candlelight away from any city or making beautiful new memories by moonlight that scarcely seem real even as they’re happening. There is something decidedly sentimental about this band’s music but it never waxes into self-parody.
