Deciphering Stars - Unidimensional

Ambient rock/ Experimental/ instrumental. Star gazing music, if you ask me. I went outside during the lunar eclipse this year and saluted the moon, while nude to the song "Into the Young Night, we Gaze and Respond" from this album. Great feeling. Really nice little bits here and there.

Her Space Holiday - Sleepy Tigers

I nice little album that a lot of people like, which is always nice to play around other people. The garage rock and stuff is nice for me, but apparently it's not music that a lot of people can actually get into. I like this album, so I make it one of my gateways to everyone else. Folky, guitar and singing, nice lyrics I think.

Triptonikhan - Toxicana Turnpike

Awesome fully electronic album. Rockin' beats, super effects, vocals off of some movie or something. Hardcore, if you will. Gotta listen to it loud and proud, and while tripping too. It's free, check them out.

喜多郎 - 空海の旅～Sacred Journey of ku-kai～

New Age music over classical Japanese flute and drums. Pretty ambient sounding, reminds me of Deep Forest, but contained within Japan. Try to give it a listen once in a while.

Wavves - King of the Beach

These guys like the beach. And pot. And beach-rock music. Upbeat, summer time music. I was gonna go see them, but couldn't. So sad I didn't, but hey, I got the album, right?

Broken Bells - Broken Bells

I'll be surprised if you haven't heard these guys before. A combination of James Mercer (of The Shins) and Danger Mouse. Actually listened to the first song on an itunes discovery download thing, then I read a review about it in Time magazine, then I started hearing it everywhere, so I decided to buy it. It's an instantaneous classic in my case, pick it up to find out. 

Movere Workshop - Western Hamlet

Picked this one up at the record store, is pretty awesome. Electronic Ambient Rock. One of the least known bands I know, can't really find much about them on the internet (basically my only resource), but apparently it features future members of Wilco, Kingsbury Manx, and Wild Wild Geese. I am going to listen to this record quiet a bit, I know it. Wish I could find a digital version.

Evenings - North Dorm EP

Everyone that I let listen to this absolutely loves it. Sunset music like the name suggests. It's experimental chillwave electronic, and it's great. Free, too, legally. Just give it a listen, and maybe even a download.

Baths - Cerulean

Dear lord, how can you make random mumblings of song seem so wonderful? This for grownup children. Cute and serious at the same time. A guy "singing" to a hip-hop beat, with electronic and rock influences. My two favorites from the album are Lovely Bloodflow and Aminals. The first one is some serious stuff, and the second is just cute.

Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport

The main instrument of the whole album is white noise. Stay up all night, become sleep deprived, then listen to this. Just lose yourself in it. Really. It's warm and soft, with hints of menthol touch. Kind of repetative too, so it'll get your dreams/hallucinations going.

Future Islands - In Evening Air

Drums, guitars, synth, and an awesome voice. Synth work is pretty intense, too, but not over the top. Pretty original sounding music. Mostly upbeat, lovely. Look to the stars at this one and smile, folks. Picked myself up a record of this, turns out its printed on clear orange vinyl. Awesome.

Harvey Danger - Little by Little

Oh Harvey Danger, if that is your real name. You remind me of a mumbling beatles, and panic at the disco. Pop Rock. Kind of reminds me of beach rock too. Everything's kind of immature and fun.
Free! http://harveydanger.com/downloads/

Lazy Mary - Crazy Hairy

Good guitar and good drums, the usual. But that's not what sets these guys apart. Lazy Mary features the vocals of a girl, a girl wailing her self out on a microphone. That's what steals this record away. Every time she stops you wait to hear her voice again, and even though you kind of realize it doesn't exactly sound the best, you realize you still want it.

Crookram - Through Windows

Gets stuck in your head easily, even though most of the tracks don't have lyrics, so you know it's good. It's a mix-up album, featuring movie clips, adding a twist. I like to think of it as a collage of music. Hip-hop, soul, funk, electronic, and just good music come together.

Yowie - Cryptooology

Sounds random, but it isn't. I like imagining these guys playing stuff for me. Sometimes helps me cope through random stuff. Listen to it loud, and try to concentrate. Math rock, kind of difficult to enjoy if you're trying to look for a pattern, but that could also be the point.

Major Lazer - Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Kill People

A mix of reggae, pop, and hip-hop. Very interesting beats. Kind of reminds me of a less annoying M.I.A., with more humor. Deserves a good listen now and then, but I wouldn't listen to it too often.

J.I.C.

If you stumble upon this blog, I don't know how, but know that it's just basically for me. Make a kind of library of the music I like. I found these artists all over the web, concerts around here, friends, radio, commercials, whatever. If I've only listened to one song by the artist, I will point that out. But who am I talking to here, right?
