July Talk "Guns & Ammunition" (Christopher Piazza, dir.)

Though the pairing is young, the chemistry between Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay, the duo at the center of Toronto's July Talk, sends sparks from the stage directly into the audience. Recalling the masculine/feminine dynamic of bands as diverse as The Civil Wars and The Kills, July Talk explore a sound rooted in roots and Americana with the dual-voice charm of Johnny and June, the creepy quirkiness of Tom Waits, and the hooks of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

Duologue "Gift Horse" (Christopher Piazza, dir.)

London based Duologue, who fuse electronic and guitar based music, stopped by New York's Dubway Studios during CMJ to film a live cut of "Gift Horse," a standout track from their debut record Song & Dance, now available in the United States. The band's music features beats reminiscent of mid-career Radiohead, soaring strings and frontman Tim Digby-Bell's otherworldly falsetto.
