Dragon's Lair by Sunset Rubdown

Toe Jam by The BPA

Toe Jam is a great video. Watch and enjoy the absurd gunfights, pong games, and other amusing things the directors came up with.

Family Of Others by Deerhoof

Family of Others is something of a left turn for Deerhoof. The song is paired with movies of microscopic oganisms doing the things they do.

Maybe So by ADD

Maybe So closes Please Let Your Faith and Patience Be Mine with a slow, fading echo. It has the sound of somber introspection.

120 MPH by State Shirt

State Shirt has been putting out interesting music for at least a decade. He's refined his style quite a bit over the years, but 120 MPH shows he's been making solid rock songs nearly from the beginning.

Na Na Ni by Fredrik

Na Na Ni is a straightforward, rhythmic build-and-release instrumental track with a luscious sound and perfect execution.

Mama Cita by Blonde Redhead

From Blonde Redhead's newest last month to their oldest this month, Mama Cita illustrates just how much they've changed over the years. The recording is less smooth and polished, and the ragged edges suits their sound exquisitely well.

Bio by Sleepy Town Manufacture

Bio is an odd name for this one. It starts with a skittering clatter. An ominous electronic bass sounds enters the background and dramatic music fills the foreground. It's interesting in a dark, sterile, science fiction way. Nothing like organic.

Postcard by The John Benjamin Band with Patrick Clayton

This Postcard is epic. So epic it has to borrow a quote from Blade Runner: "The fire that burns twice as bright burns half as long."

Benefica by Panda Bear

A lot of bands have a reputation for weird, but few produce music so odd and bewildering as Animal Collective and related bands like Panda Bear. Benefica is a recording from a 2010 performance by Panda Bear.

My Little Proton by General Fuzz

My Little Proton is a cute little trancey bit of electronic music.

MC Frontalot elaborates on the frustration of finding the secret pattern when facing the Final Boss that you'll never defeat.

Borderline by Brad Sucks

Brad Sucks always has a bad attitude about himself. This time he pushes it to the Borderline, and finds a way to relax.

1,2,3 by Jessica Fichot

Count out the beat, 1,2,3. 1,2,3. 1,2,3. And enjoy this lush, building waltz.

Himanka by Recue

Himanka opens Between Stations with pretty notes sprinkled over a distorted beating pulse.

5 Minuter Med by jj

5 minuter med may feel a little scatterbrained, but they admit to being high all the time, loving cocaine, and hating their brain right away, so that should be expected. But what follows is five minutes of strange, catchy pop.

My Dog Is Watching Me by We Vs. Death

The frantic pulsing of My Dog Is Watching Me is amusingly at odds with its silly name.

Lemonade by CocoRosie

Lemonade contrasts a gravelly, old-lady-like whisper in the verse with sweet, youthful singing in the chorus. The slow piano lines and electronic effects just add to the strange, ethereal quality of the song.

The song also has a video with the duo made to look as unusual as they sound.

Sem Parar by Zeep

Sem Parar is another quiet, charming tune featured at Aurgasm, this one carrying Brazilian influences under it's polished surface.

Captain Badass by Songs: Ohia

A song titled Captain Badass has to be epic. Songs: Ohia makes it into a 7 minute long, slow meditation that finds its way to the line "We get no second chance in this life."

Underwater sleep while trying not to breath by Cherly Kacherly

Underwater sleep while trying not to breath opens Drop a 4 note soundtrack with a double bass dominating the mix. I recommend following along with the album art.

I like to keep my copy of the album in vorbis format.

Rainy Night by Keep Shelly In Athens

Rainy Night is cunningly crafted mood music, splicing crackling samples together to create a cohesive yet not entirely predictable flow.

http://www.gorillavsbear.net/wp-content/uploads/mp3/03%20Rainy%20Night.mp3

Pompeii by Josh Woodward

Pompeii slows down the pace of Josh Woodward's latest album Ashes. It's a simple, quiet folk song that deftly uses banjo and strings to accentuate the tune.

Lullaby by Priscilla Ahn

For those looking for a Lullaby, Priscilla Ahn's voice offers soothing tones, gorgeously mixed with twinkling bells, a quiet guitar, and string flourish.

Spanish Gold, 2044 by Swan Lake

Carey Mercer's vocal performance on Spanish Gold, 2044 helps make an interesting song intense. His howl reverberates epically as he shouts "Oh the rain's got to fall."

No Love In Your Heart by The Earlies

No Love In Your Heart epitomizes the long build up. The intro lasts over a minute, and when the lyrics start the orchestration just continues to slowly, inexorably build to a mighty cacophony of voices, horns, and electronic beats.

http://www.scjag.com/mp3/sc/noloveinyourheart.mp3

Freefallin' by Atmosphere

Freefallin' resonates with an emotion that's summed up by the final line of the chorus: "These problems are the good ones to have."
