Mae-Shi
|
|
| |
Mae Shi are the kings of experimental punk new wave chaos. They're so close to perfection and catastrophic failure at every moment that it's exciting to listen to.

Peter Walker
|
|
| |
He can come from the dark side, but he does it in such a positive way. Pop music filtered through an otherworldly sense of portrayal.

Danielson
|
|
| |
It started as a senior thesis project and became a music project of its own. It's folk, pop, experimental, undefinable.

Efterklang
|

Drum machines that hum with life and intensity. Quiet duet vocals laid over the top. It's electronic experimentation from Copenhagen, Denmark.

Helvetia

This could be one of the coolest bands to come forward in a long time. These guys are playing the tribal lo-fi anthems of outer space to infintity.

Mogwai

They're back with a very beastie offering from Mr. Beast. Noisy build-up that clogs your speakers with the on-off sutain of distorted guitars that only Mogwai can do like Mogwai.

The Impossible Shapes
|
|
| |
The Impossible Shapes have been tapping into the collective unconsciousness for a bite of that big psychic spiral of life, and they've channeled it for us all here. Folk leanings merge with more experimental sounds and tape
splicing aesthetics.

Go Go Airheart
|
|
| |
80's new wave updated for the times. Slightly
edgy, upbeat rythyms, and a lot of energy
— and maybe a small affinity for the
guitar work of Sebadoh's Lou Barlow.

|

Cut City

Post-punk that cuts you like Gang of Four
did. Offsetting, interesting, and lively.

Genghis Tron

Dmonstrations |
|
| |
Noise, then chaos, then back to noise again.
It's got song structure though, so there's
a framework to hold on to as they drag through
their sonic landscape.

Silencer |

Wilderness
|

A more immediate and visceral cutting to
the bone than bands like Joy Division,
P.I.L., and the Fall, but
reminiscent of those bands in a more modern
sound.

Amandine

Swedish pop-folk with guitars, glockenspiels,
piano, and an accordian. Thick with forlorn
insight & melody, heavy with introspection.

The Advantage
|
|

If you play video games, then you know how
the soundtracks can stick in your head after
hearing them over and over. The Advantage
took that idea one step further by releasing
a whole album of what was once 8-bit chip
music from video games, now played on real
instruments.

AIDS WOLF
|
|
| |
There's sharp, off-kilter chords, frenetic
cymbal crashes, and brittle melodies set
to break apart if you squeeze them too hard.
Not for the timid, but very interesting
if you have an open mind.

Devics

This is the kind of music you can play on
a warm spring day when it's dark and rainy
and you have the windows open. It's hauntingly
beautiful, dark, and innocent all at the
same time.

Belle and Sebastian
|

The world has been clamoring for
new Belle and Sebastian over and over again
since that fateful line in the movie High
Fidelity...
"What is this?"
"Oh, it's the new Belle and Sebastian."
They were then immortalized. This is the
kind of mild, jangly indie pop that they
do so well.
