Signer - The New Face of Smiling

Signer is Bevan Smith- a kiwi with a predominately minimalist mentality who incorporates elements of post-rock via guitars, vocals, and live drums. Epic, epic album. Reminds me at times of a darker version of the Album Leaf.

Washed Out - Life of Leisure EP

Simplistic, hazy, blissed-out pop tunes. I thoroughly enjoy this album.

Download

Dirty Projectors - Stillness is the Move EP

Includes the original, radio edit, A Capella version (excessive?) and two remixes. One new song "Wave the Bloody Shirt." Also a sick orchestral version of the intro to "Useful Chamber."

Weird Tapes - Get Relgion


Weird Tapes is one of the two, now defunct monikers (the other being Memory Cassette) of Dayve Hawk, the man behind Memory Tapes- his current, and hopefully final project name.

Nuclear Power Pants - Most Popular Awesome Soda


Saw these guys open for Dan Deacon. They play bizarre electronically fueled spazz-rock and also happen to kick a gratuitous amount of ass.
