Black Joker - Watch Out!
Black Joker is Spencer Clark (of the Skaters). Meandering and broken synth-lines from a vintage Casio over drugged-out tribal beats.

Skyramps - Days of Thunder
A synth-fueled, psych-drone epic with an 80s prog feel that would make Genesis turn green with envy. Hints of post-rock and ambient strewn throughout. This is not your average drone album. Highly recommended.

Ch-ch-ch-changes
To anyone who was having trouble with the An When .zip: it's been re-uploaded and should be working just fine now.
On another note, I am in need of your input. Recently I've been posting a mix of both experimental and poppy (I use this word in the most liberal sense possible) music, while the earlier posts are almost all experimental. I'm considering creating a new blog where I can post all my left field discoveries- in other words, the drone, cassettes, and psychedelic that makes up a decent portion of the current blog. The Light That Failed would cater strictly to more "accessible" music, i.e. anything acknowledged by the cavalcade of well-known independent music aggregates that exist nowadays.
I feel this would be a good way to organize shtuff (thus making it easier for you to decide what you do or don't want) and provide a more cohesive identity or theme for the blog. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks bros.
Sun Ra - Lanquidity
The father of free jazz. Any right-minded avant-garde enthusiast would be a fool not to add this album to their repertoire, and so would you. I advise you obtain this, post-haste.

Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms
So here's another explosively huge '09 album that, for one reason or another, I neglected to upload. All exaggerated and grandiose Pitchfork hype aside, this is still a really fun record. Grabbitnao.

I've been meaning to upload this for some time, sorry it's so late. Grab it, if for some reason you don't already have it.

Quetzolcoatl - Where Are We Going Sister
Dark, ethereal psych-drone created by the capturing of prerecorded electroacoustic sounds that are played through speakers and shaped by the structure of a room.

The Lift Boys - Anarchy Village / Anarchy Way
The Lift Boys is one of several side-projects lead by Yamatsuka Eye (Boredoms, Hanatarash). The first cut, Anarchy Village is reminiscent of lazy days spent in front of a flickering television screen, scoring bananas in a rousing session of Donkey Kong Country- thumping tribal drums accompanied by a energetic flute, the vocalizations of a jungle animals echo in the distance. Anarchy Way follows the same tribal/world aesthetic with it's Shankarian sitar shredding, but a simple yet catchy house beat makes for an interesting change of pace. Both tracks reflect Eye's penchant for experimentalism through a smattering of bizarro-noise, electronic FX and random drum freakouts. Despite it's eclectic nature, Anarchy Village/Anarchy Way is not only infectious but extremely danceable. Fun stuff. Highly recomended.

Universal Studios Florida - Ocean Sunbirds
“Imagine you are sixteen, skinny dipping in a remote lagoon of clear water surrounded by CGI jungle animals with golden boom boxes...” –Little Fury ThingsSounds good to me.
