Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto have put out a few records together, here's one titled Summvs. It's essentially an hour of glitch with sparse piano over it. It's really ambient and chill, but also dark and a bit haunting. I highly suggest you to listen to it!

Baths, Pop Music/False B-Sides. Baths - "It's original songs that happened after Cerulean. It's sort of like an umbrella release for all those different things".

Snowing. Fuck Your Emotional Bullshit. Naw man, I'm not being an abrasive, bullshit-starting stronzo, but if I was... that'd be rad too! So I don't know much about hardcore, or emo, or whatever you want to call it, but this album is pretty cool. It's really raw. I typically don't love screaming vocals, but when this guy belts it out it feels like he really means it. He kind of reminds me of John Lennon on "Well, Well, Well" in that way, and that's pretty cool.

Adults, The Elderly and Children's Night School EP, is - in the most concise way possible - a perfect mix of Maps & Atlases' You and Me and the Mountain and Colour's Anthology. But if you haven't heard those albums... well, go listen to them. But if you don't want to, this band sounds like some really tasty, fairly pulsatile math pop with loads of indie influence. It's also a lot happier than bands like Colour, This Town Needs Guns, American Football, etc. So they have a new EP coming soon, but for now you can get this EP for free on their bandcamp! Cheers!

Sufjan Steven's The Age Of Adz came out two years ago now and it's still just as huge and overwhelming as it was when I first heard it. This album was a huge departure from Steven's previous folk and orchestral sounds, this time embracing electronic sounds and gigantic arrangements. This album features the only 25 minute song that I find myself going back to and listening through on a regular basis. So, check it out. And please, as always, dig.

P.S. This is my 100th post! Hurrah! In celebration of this, I'm going on an indefinite hiatus! See you later, Tumblr!

Feist's most recent albums Metals was one that wasn't even really on my radar before it came out, but now I find myself going back to it again and again. I really appreciate it because most indie acts these days seem to be going either completely electronic or completely acoustic. This album is just plain electric (with horns and keys and other fun things), but Feist does it so well. It's also nice to hear some really fucking great slow tracks on this album, like my favourite tune on it "Anti-Pioneer". Here it is.

The Weather Station is a folk act from Canada spearheaded by Tamara Lindeman (of Bruce Peninsula). This album is really great, and bittersweet. Some songs seems so brief yet full. There is some great songwriting and arrangements on this album, not to mention some great fingerpicking. It reminds me a little bit of early Iron & Wine at times. Anyhow, here it is.

Fago Sepia is a math rock band from France, so I guess that makes it rock mathematique? This is a compilation of some of their EP's and splits called The Resume. Anyways, they have a clean sound that can get pretty filthy when the time is right. Their "dueling guitar" thing going on all over the place is really fucking awesome and intricate. It's some groovy shit. It'll please the math rock fan in you and make you feel like a normal music enjoyer simultaneously. Good shit.

Wild Nothing's second album Nocturne is a great next step from their groovy debut Gemini. The catchy hooks and dreamy textures are still there but they seem to have evolved since their first album. The instrumentation is varied and the production seems to be more extensive. All in all, this is a sweet album, check it out!

Sigur Ros's second album Agaetis Byrjun came out about 13 years ago. And it's still fucking great. Go download it! The link is just down there a bit! But yeah, for those of you fucks who don't know, Sigur Ros is a great Icelandic post-rock band and they have a ton of great albums and here is one and have a good day.

Emily Haines (Singer from Metric) has a couple great solo recordings and here's one of them, Knives Don't Have Your Back. It's a sad one, so get ready. It's piano heavy and very well written with a touch of experimentalism here or there. It's also pretty damn catchy at parts. So enjoy this one.

Hey all! Here's Caravan Palace's Caravan Palace! It's today's dance music meets yesterday's dance music. Gypsy Jazz meets electronic dance music. It's really happy and fun, I just can't help but smile when I listen to this, so give it a whirl.

Burial's Untrue. Sometime I can just sink into this album. The beats are so dark and forward thinking, yet fragile. It feels vaguely romantic for an electronic album. If you like electronic music, do yourself a favour and download this right now.

A follow up to my last post, here's Amiina's second LP, Puzzle. Some more great atmospheric music. This one seems to feature a bit more electronic sounds. I absolutely love this band's palette of sounds everything seems to tickle my ear just right. Anyhow, here it is.
