Moved!
Hey readers. I’ve moved from blogspot because I was having problems with posting and I decided I was being too lazy with my type-ups and such, so I'm having a new start over on wordpress.
I'll leave this open for anybody to grab stuff in the future, but please follow me over at wordpress :)
LEGS TO DROP US

This band deserve your attention, they are absolutely incredible. If you get the chance to see these dudes live, DO IT. You will not be disappointed.
It may only be a 4-track EP but this may well be my favourite release of 2010 so far. I don't want to get into explaining it too much, just listen to it. Mathy and dancey sorta-indie-but-not-quite. Take my over-enthused opener in stride, it's really that great.

Wisp - We Miss You
Wisp is an IDM artist from New York. We Miss You is his second and latest release since signing to Rephlex.
Absolutely incredible IDM. This is on seriously heavy rotation at the moment. Makes me feel all happy and nostalgic. Across the album you'll find everything between breakcore and ambient, yet it all manages to flow beautifully. Really top tier electronic work here, keep finding myself replaying it over and over again.
Track 4, To Draw Something Beautiful. One of my favourite tracks on the album. Others being Morning Myth, Lords & Ladies, Trees Like Toys and... I better leave it at that before I end up listing the whole tracklist. Enjoy.

Welder - Vines & Stream
Brandan Angelides aka Welder (also known as dubstep artist Eskmo) is a San Fransico based producer/artist. Vines & Stream is his debut album under the pseudonym.
Very laid back and very uplifting downtempo IDM, full of head-bopping beats, slightly psychedelic tones and world music samples. One to check out. Stand out tracks include "Purple and Orange", "In The Park" and "Find You Here".

Yawning Man - Vista Point
No Yawning Man? No Kyuss. It's that important.
So laid back it may well fall over - the ultimate stoner chillout record. Vista Point is possibly the best instrumental release to grace my ears yet. Just listen, close your eyes and take a ride.
Labels:
desert rock,
experimental,
psychedelic,

Sparrows Swarm and Sing - O'Shenandoah, Mighty Death Will Find Me
This band sounds like the album art looks. That's the best I can describe it. Just listen.
You won't find any traditional song structure in O'Shenandoah, Mighty Death Will Find Me (even for post-rock). What you will find, however, is beautiful music with apocalyptic undertones. Recommended if you like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and A Silver Mt. Zion.
Labels:
experimental,
folk,

Nosaj Thing - Drift
Nosaj Thing is an electronic musician and producer bringing it hard in the LA "glitch-hop" scene alongside artists like Flying Lotus.
This is on heavy rotation with me right now. Incredible electronic soundscapes, hard beats and an overall dark sound comparable to the likes of Burial and the rest of the dubstep scene mixed in with bleeping and blooping like something straight from your favourite IDM artist's library. This is absolutely stellar - scoop this.
Labels:
electronic,
glitch-hop,

Belong - Discography
A band I've only recently came across and been jamming a lot since, Belong. Lovely fuzzed out drone/ambient music with shoegaze qualities.
Stick Sunn O))), My Bloody Valentine and Stars of the Lid in a blender and it will probably sound nothing like this but it's the closest I can get to describing it without sounding (even) more pretentious. But seriously, it's good. Get it.
