This isn't a book about saris and salwars, it's a book about Indian high-fashion and how it's creating global styles without losing sight of its traditions/background. This book documents the scene, with an in-dep..."
Animal Collective : Merriweather Post Pavillion
1 recommendation
"They say this album is folk like, I'd have to disagree, although it has folk roots, it's too experimental to be just "folk" get it and tell me who you disagree with."
Saskamodie: Mocky
1 recommendation
"It's a Jazz/Pop fusion, somehow different than anything else I've ever heard. In a lot of ways, it sounds dated -- from 1960s James Bond film, or something, but made Pop."
Octahedron: The Mars Volta
1 recommendation
"I guess, if you've been on board with The Mars Volta from the beginning, than you have to like this one, even if you don't want to. Sure, it's listenable, but not nearly as fun as they sue to be."
Pocahaunted: Island Diamonds
1 recommendation
"I nice sonic memento from the summer of '09 when Pocahaunted went from drone-a-delic to psycho-funky. Don't call it a sellout, but the music on "Island Diamonds" points to a new phase of Pocahaunted that you can dance to."
Bitte Orca: Dirty Projectors
3 recommendations
"Pre-order this now!! It's unquestionably the second best album out so far this year."
Wavering Radiant: Isis
1 recommendation
"The newest from Asis is brilliant, I think, for the genre. However, the genre, well... that's questionable part. If you're down with this who progressive, weird, avante-garde metal, then you'll love it."
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix: Phoenix
3 recommendations
"All I've heard is the song from their Web site. However, I'm unequivocally overjoyed with eagerness for it."
Celebración De La Ciudad Natal: My Morning Jacket
1 recommendation
"I was a late adapting fan of My Morning Jacket. It wasn't tell I was them perform (on TV) on Austin City Limites that I was swept away. It ushered in a whole new appreciation for these indie rockers. No, I haven't heard a single second off this album, but have zero doubt it will be great."
Two Suns: Bat for Lashes
2 recommendations
"Yes, this is the album made by that weird, but beautiful girl. It's that odd one that sounds like it was made in the 1980s and has created a bit of hubbub. By that, I mean, everyone is talking about it. For me, it took a minute to digest, but once I came around, i loved it."
Constant Hitmaker: Kurt Vile
1 recommendation
"As a member of the Woodset family Kurt Vile is instantly held to a high standard. Though he's resulted in less fame than many others, his newest album still rocks my face off."
revolution state vs. noizekatt
1 recommendation
"These two bands are so cool, most of the super cool people in the world haven't even heard of them yet, let alone everyone else. In fact... they're so cool, they're practically a secret (shhh! don't tell!). This is a split EP, so there are five songs by Revolution State, followed by five songs by Noizekatt on this CD. HISTORY OF THE REVOLUTION: Revolution State was founded by Ben P. and Bonn..."
Winterwood: The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey -- FREE
1 recommendation
"Experimental Jazz group, the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey offers their newest studio album for free to fans. No words could articulately describe what they've got going on. So, I'll just let you have a listen."
Tonight :Franz Ferdinand
3 recommendations
"I've never been a glowing fan of Franz Ferdinand. I like, but just whatever. However, I have a floating policy to listen albums that get a 7 plus on pitchfork. This one pulled in at a 7.3. I haven't bought it yet, but I'm listening to some track on MySpace right now and I'm pleasantly grooving to them."
In Ear Park: Department of Eagles
1 recommendation
"What we're talking about is an album that many would classify as one of the best of the year. It's a smooth, relatively uplifting album that comes with a slightly melancholy undertone."
Finally We Are No One: Múm
1 recommendation
"By far one of the best bands, and records, to come out of Iceland. More straight-up ambient and less orchestral than their countrymen Sigur Ros, this is an excellent CD. (FYI: the band's name is pronounced "moom")"
Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do: Sigur Rós
1 recommendation
"This is the music that accompanied Sigur Ros's collaboration with The Merce Cunningham Dance Company at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which I was lucky enough to have seen in person. Experimental, melodic, organic, avant-garde. Just plain interesting. Although it's better with the modern dance to go with it, still a great standalone recording."
Me∂ Su∂ I Eyrum Vi∂ Spilum Endalaust: Sigur Ros
2 recommendations
"Their most recent foray finds the Icelandic band -- known for its inctricate, dense and intense compositions -- at their most spare. Piano and voice, guitar and voice. Many people have been critical of this album, but i think it's gorgeous. It's nice to see them progressing and evolving."
Mason Proper - Olly Oxen Free
1 recommendation
"The new album from one of my very favorite bands! The beauty of Mason Proper is that their albums always seem to be one cohesive piece even though each song is definitely its own. The understanding of complex musical nuances is very apparent - the theme of each song is known to the listener even before you grasp what the lyrics are about. Although I like their previous album, There is a Moth in..."
DAVID BYRNE: Grown Backwards
1 recommendation
"I haven't been too excited by David Byrne's recent albums with the exception of Grown Backwards. This is a great album that reminds me of why I like David Byrne. Track Favorites: Tiny Apocalypse Au Fond du Temple Saint Glass Concrete and Stone"
Zaireeka: The Flaming Lips: Music
1 recommendation
"This is the eighth album from the greatest band in the world, The Flaming Lips. It's their 8th album, with a catch. It's actually comes on 4 different cds, you track down 4 cd players and hit play at the same time. Sure, you can buy the combined single disk now, but really it's not nearly as fun."
Anti-Anti: Snowden
1 recommendation
"We are anti movements we are anti anti. The best indie, experimental rock music I've ever heard. The remix to "anti-anti" is so flippin killer, it will blow your mind."
Seadrum/House of Sun: Boredoms
1 recommendation
"From Osaka, Japan, this experimental/psychedelic band has had an eclectic range of discography mainly because of the rotating members in and out of the group, but the singer Yamantaka Eye (closest the band has to a frontman) has definitely kept it real over the past 2 decades of the band's existence with brilliant sounds of screams meshed beautifully with electronica. The Boredoms are also pla..."
Os Mutantes: Os Mutantes
1 recommendation
"Another album I can't stop listening to. Brazilian psychedelic rock/ pop band from the 60's. If you're a fan of psych rock you really need to get to know Os Mutantes. And even if you're not, give it a listen."
TV on the Radio: Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
1 recommendation
"Thanks to rock pioneers Jimi Hendrick, Malcolm Mooney and Fishbone we have TV on the Radio taking back a genre the black music community has shied away from. These guys show n prove! Amazing album! Fav tracks: Staring at the Sun King Eternal The Wrong Way"
Bon Iver
1 recommendation
"Some days are just Bon Iver days... if you're feeling down, happy, or somewhere in between.. you will feel enlightened by the soulful sounds of Justin Vernon & his guitar."
The Lemon of Pink by The Books
1 recommendation
"Released in 2003, this is The Books second album. Classify them in electronic, or indie pop. The Books have 3 albums and 1 EP; this is a good starting point."
Flying Lotus - Reset EP
1 recommendation
"It started with a little remix for Mia Doi Todd, called "My room is White" ... it was like love at first listen. The great nephew of Alice Coltrane this man's got music in his bones. 1983 was his first album a hit for all Los Angelinos and now with his recent signing to Warp Records, his first EP Reset is a must-hear. I recommend giving "Tea Leaf dancers" a listen."
