Cover art for new release, Summer Machines, by Chelan
We get so much music mailed and emailed to us that it is impossible to keep up with it all.

So, with that, lets kick-off yet another playlist series, this time focused exclusively on talented, often unsigned, independent musicians who send us music In Dee Mail.

During the past few weeks IRC made it's own little indie news on the web by featuring two unsigned artists who now have indie record labels calling them. And for damn good reasons!

First up, Blind Man's Colour. Although IRC was not the first indie blog to feature the electro pop duo from Florida, it's safe to say that our featured sparked a good deal of interest in the band after tagging them as a 'Band to Watch in 2009'.

So much so that Kanye West himself placed a link on his blog to our story. Last word from Blind Man's Colour is that they have been getting calls from record labels. Check back soon for a follow-up profile of these promising young artists.

Similarly, this week we featured Artist of the Month Indiana college student Joseph Denney - who goes by the moniker Spirit Spine.

He contacted IRC the other day to say that a record label called him after seeing his profile on IRC and listening to some of his songs. Many visitors to the site have been listening to Spirit Spine's songs since the Monday posting. You can be sure we'll be following up with Denney in the coming weeks.

Now, let's move on and give some well deserved exposure to some other great indie artists and bands that have sent us music recently.

Chelan is the musical project of Justin Hosford and Jennifer Grady who have a decade long collaboration under their belts. While they recently parted ways to pursue other artistic adventures, the duo continued to work on Chelan.

"No Better Than We" - Chelan from their debut album, Summer Machines, available now Origami Records.
MySpace: Chelan

"Voodoo Magic" - Bojibian from All Day, All Night

"The Only Pretty Ring Time" - The Very Most from Spring on Indiecator Records
