The Evangelicals: The Evening Descends
1 recommendation
"Hailing from small town Oklahoma, The Evangelicals have gained national status on the independent music scene. Not to mention, they just got back from a European tour and pulled some opening gigs for Conor Oberst (the Bright Eyes frontman). It really is wondrous that three people can make such complex music."

"One of the Phoenix children - Rain - is the lead singer to this indie band. Ambient music and soft vocal characterize this cool music. Incidentally, Rain was in a band with her brother River before he died, called Aleka's Attic."
Vampire Weekend

"The band formed in their Columbia dorm room...their stuff is Afrobeat meets '80s stuff! The music is fun, playful, pop-wise, and smart. Organ and drums are often the focal point of the music, bringing to mind a goofier but great album!"

"These guys are great. They incorporate music with everyday sounds that blend in together so perfectly. Their sound is something like dirty guitar noise and pretty guitar noise...garage sounding shoegaze music for the soul!"
Noah's Ark
1 recommendation
"Eclectic and quirky atmosphere..."quirky production techniques, with some of the singing filtered in such a way that it sounds like a radio playing in the next room, or even as though it were recorded on an eighty-year-old tape machine and sown together with crystal-clear harmonies along with the usual odd sounds, were present on the debut and continue with even greater effect on the follow-up. Mo..."

Garage / Psychedelic / Rock CD - Lost Souls Vol.1 - Psych of the
1 recommendation
"Here's a cool new collection of music I have definitely never heard anything like before. I think all the songs rock and they all have cool stories behind them. Featuring garage music - amateur teenage bands that formed in the wake of the 60's British invasion. Before corporations told people how they had to sound and look - totally unique and original! Proceeds help the organization behind ..."

Out of Season ~ Rustin Man, Beth Gibbons

"Debut solo album from Portishead vocalist, in collaboration with Talk Talk man Paul Webb (alias Rustin Man). Eschewing Portishead's lush orchestrations for a sparse, bare production, this is a collection of quiet, acoustic folk and jazz balladry which showcases Gibbons's versatile voice. Features additional production and guitar work by her Portishead colleague Adrian Utley. Lee Harris & Simon Edw..."

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

"If you haven't heard this album yet, I'm sorry. While you can't reclaim you're indie cred, you can start over by listening to one of the best albums to come along in awhile. I don't know why I tend to recommend the strangest music here, but regardless, this is an album everyone should hear."
Oh, Inverted World by The Shins
4 recommendations
"It took about two years for "Oh, Inverted World" to grow on me - at first I thought it was kind of wussy and boring. But then when I first moved to L.A. I used to come home from work every night and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner on the back porch while listening to "Caring Is Creepy" and "Know Your Onion" and "One By One All Day," and the album totally worked its way into my he..."
