The music is anthemic, cacophonius, and cathartic, in an almost feel-good sort of way. It's kind of like stepping into a particle accelerator to go for a ride, and Proton Proton is playing on the particle accelerator hi-fi during that ride.
The music is decidedly slow and focused, making you stop and actively listen to what's going on. You're rewarded with repeated listens as songs grow in front of your ears.
The Earlies have the funkiness mixed with a good capability for melody and song structure. They've also wandered into that otherworldly quality of dark and light that can be explosive when done right. Courtesy of Jagjaguwar Records
The instrumentation on the track is certainly engaging, but the heavy vocal processing makes it seem as though Stephen Hawking is guest vocalist on the track. Courtesy of Force Field

The predominant sound here is of shoegazing guitars, with their band name being a not so subtle reference to ‘Loveless’, the seminal album by My Bloody Valentine. Includes audio stream and MP3 download.

Menomena works to lay instrumentation and vocals over the top of sound loops, combining one part found sound structure and one part songwriting to come up with an experimental way of creating music.

Spastic clarity and rythmic jabs. It's got electronic and traditional instruments alongside found sounds... This is a genre unto itself.

The new Skyband additions of bass, drums, pianos and the occasional banjo plant the Skygreen Leopards somewhere more between the countrified jangle of Americana and the feel-good notions of blue skies pop than ever before.

This definitely feeds back to a time in the past, the sixties perhaps, but at times it fuses in parts of the seventies or even modern sounds. It's lo-fi and bubbling with life. It's looks back at a time when music and life in America were more simple than it is now, but David makes things more complex than they used to be, bringing the kind of modern dilemmas into the lyrics that were unheard of back in 60's music.
On The Lost Take, Dosh lays down a range of influences, from jazz to electronic to hip-hop to anything that seems to be bouncing around his ears. Dosh filters the world into his music, and his music gives you the world. Courtesy of Anticon Records
Upbeat bleeping contrasted with miserablist vocals. Xiu Xiu prove as well as being superior experimental indie kids, they can actually write a good pop song worth singing along to. Courtesy of Kill Rock Stars
There are many names for the kind music The Blow creates... glitch-hop, indie R&B, etc. It's the kind of bass-heavy music that makes you want to to reach for the volume dial and the bass control to increase the saturation to full-on, earth shaking levels. Maybe the Blow should be measured on the Richter scale? Courtesy of K Records
The music is real and visceral, with roots in dark 80's UK sounds. ¡Forward, Russia! have been called anything from dance-punk to to post-punk to math rock. The one thing everybody seems to agree on is that the sound is explosive and the music is addictive.

Les Georges Leningrad describe themselves as ‘petrochemical rock’, but it's more like rock with random electronic keyboard stranglings. Courtesy of Dare To Care Records
Sounding like Apples In Stereo crossed with early Sonic Youth and lost and wandering around in the collective unconscious, Welcome sounds like everything revolutionary that has ever happened in music... fractured 60 psych pop songs, indie rock rule bending, experimental structure, and a very cool sense of musical mytique that is hard to put into words.
Imagine the spirit of Joy Division inhabiting a band that has a love for experimentation and the bass guitar. And a female lead singer. And they're from Australia.

Sounding like an indie rock band with an urge to experiment with a blend of off-hand background sounds, Annuals create music that seems ordinary on the first listen. Repeated listens will reward you with a dense layering of noises and sounds that build a greater sound around the song structure.
More new school from Toronto. Their music includes rumbling bass lines mix with jagged guitar lines to merge into the superform of indie rock with distorted, grilled vocals. They've garnered comparisons to David Bowie, Joy Division, and Pavement. It's like slight noise mixed with melody and hooks.
