Abiogenesis by Revolution Void

Early Revolution Void, especially tracks from Like a Secret Dream, is much more dance oriented than his later stuff. Tracks like Abiogenesis just cry out for some space on the dance floor.

This track is less than half the size in vorbis format, but still sounds excellent.

Goodnight by Melody Gardot

Melody Gardot's beautiful voice is perfect for the blues. Goodnite demonstrates this beyond doubt with a relaxing and moving vibe.

Dear God, I Hate Myself by Xiu Xiu

It's about time Xiu Xiu release song (and an album) titled Dear God, I Hate Myself. That phrase could be a mantra for the group.

Water Here by Bodies Of Water

Every Bodies of Water track I've had the pleasure of hearing has been immense. Water Here is over six minutes. It builds up dramatically with choruses of voices, then breaks out into a fast paced, accelerating climax.

Five Little Rooms by Menomena

I just saw Menomena play at the Metro. They covered a lot of their new album, including the standout track Five Little Rooms, which translates roughly and beautifully into the live setting.

Lunchroom Drama by Podington Bear

Normally I recommend avoiding a Lunchroom Drama, but when a Podington Bear is involved the result are upbeat and adorable. It's a drama worth getting embroiled in.

Take Me To The Ballroom by Moonbabies

Today I turn to Aurgasm and Moonbabies for some pure pop. Take Me to the Ballroom is dreamy and beautiful music that will appeal to fans of bands like Stars.

Earthly Bodies by J Tillman

J Tillman glorifies the beauty of our Earthly Bodies lying together with lush folk melodies.

A Song For You by Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru

Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru has A Song for You. It's got birds twittering over a girl and guitar sounding softly in the background.

Get it in ogg.

The First Thing About Me by Brad Sucks

It's not perfect, but the demo version of The First Thing About Me points to a very promising new album from Brad Sucks.

Update: the link has been changed to the album version.

Postcard by State Shirt

State Shirt incorporates some really strange sounds into his older songs. Postcard starts with beatboxing and has some stranger shivering noises running throughout. It was once a Song Fight track that made it onto his first album, Don't Die.

Deep Down by Madita

This song has an epic sound Deep Down. It's explosive pop with strains of jazz that mix together with tension and purpose.

Jesus The Mexican Boy by Iron And Wine

Jesus the Mexican Boy is a story told quietly over simple guitar work. It's an intimate piece of folk pop.

502 Blues by Jeremy Pelt

502 Blues starts with a piano and builds into beautifully mournful jazz.

Antelopes by Tiny Folk

Antelopes nearly makes me laugh every time I hear it. It's thoroughly silly, from the call and response to the nonsense lyrics to the weird vocal effects.

From Stardust To Sentience by High Places

A message from a Nova special runs through From Stardust to Sentience, packaged with beautiful clicking of synthesized and sampled sounds.

U-92 by The Whiskers

Any song that even touches a topic like Uranium has a leg up for me, but U-92 goes above and beyond. It's a weird song, even for a band as unusual as The Whiskers.

Under The Top by General Fuzz

Under the Top is spacey and ambient with a much more upbeat tempo than spacey ambient tunes are used to having.

No Reason To Worry by ADD

No Reason to Worry is another simple acoustic tune from prolific Song Fighter ADD.

Mon Homme Blessé by Valérie Leulliot

Aurgasm is in love with both French pop and quiet folk pop. And so Mon Homme Blessé neatly summarizes a large portion of the sounds of that blog. It falls under both categories.

Incogni2 by Optimus Rhyme

An utobeat went undercover into wackacon HQ. Incogni2 is that autobeat's story.

Melody by The Apartment

Melody tracks an interesting from operatic singing through bouncy 4 to the floor electronic beats.

Mirage by We Vs. Death

Perhaps one of the best tracks from A Black House, A Coloured Home is Mirage. It does what We vs. Death does best: rhythmic, glittering post-rock.

Asleep At A Party by Memory Cassette

Asleep at a Party has an ethereal vibe with an unusual, washed out sort of sound.

Bottom Of The World by Tom Waits

When something's got you down, listen to Tom tell you what it's like to be lost at the Bottom of the World. It's a balm for a ragged soul.

Champs Elesees by Abstract Avenue

Champs Elesees wanders from relaxed ambiance to fast break-beats and back again.

She's leaving for work in the underwater tram. I think I'll take a minute to think about it by Cherly KaCherly

She's leaving for work in the underwater tram. I think I'll take a minute to think about it. Those thoughts seems to involve a lot of repetition, layering new thoughts over repeating older thoughts.

Decent quality comes in a smaller file with vorbis.

White Lillies by Peder; featuring Ane Trolle

A distorted synth bass line mixes with string flourishes and Ane Trolles deep, soulful voice in White Lillies.

This Is Not Me by Daniele Torelli

This Is Not Me is a simple ambient track with a number of prominent melodic themes moving through it.

Also available in vorbis.

Disco by The Walt

One of the things I like about The Walt is the way each instrument seems to occupy it's own space. A clear guitar line twinkles over a distorted rhythm guitar and a catch bass in Disco, without any of the sounds blending into indistinguishability.
