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.

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.

Dr. Strangeloop - Are We Lost Mammals of an Approaching Transcendental Epoch?

Dr. Strangeloop is a visual artist associated with the likes of Flying Lotus and the rest of the Brainfeeder roster.


A single 17 minute track ep/single. I'm not really sure how to describe this... Post-rock for the space age maybe? I don't know. Just listen to it. Check out the video below for a preview and an example of his incredible visual art.

Clark - Totems Flare

First off, happy new year everybody! I think this years been great for music and to celebrate I'll upload one of my favourites from 2009 - Clark's (formerly Chris Clark) latest release, Totems Flare.



Complex, glitchy and heavily layered. Totems Flare commonly bounces around the walls between breakcore, chiptune and ambient soundscapes - and usually within the same song. Not exactly the easiest piece of music to digest, but give it a few spins and hopefully it'll grow on you as much as it has with me. For fans of Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Plaid.

Happy freaking new year!x
