Shit by Her Highness

This Shit is too weird to describe well. It's certainly not for every mood, but when you wants something surreal, her highness gives you that.

Circus Cnidaria is a darkly playful procession of unusual sound that seems to march on by at a leisurely pace.

From A Terrace by Hey Marseilles

"Seattle’s Hey Marseilles play fresh and magical orchestral folk tunes that are both melancholic and genuinely cheerful." -- Aurgasm

From A Terrace is a fantastic and lavish orchestra of meloncholy pop.

Breaking Point by ADD

I don't know what to say about ADD anymore. He manages to put together wonderfully crafted pop songs like Breaking Point.

By Request by General Fuzz

By Request is a conventional ambient electronic tune. It may not be terribly adventurous but it knows its conventions and works them quite well.

This Is Old by State Shirt, remixed by Nero

Nero's This Is Old emphasizes the repetitive grind described by the lyrics with a repetitive thump and low looping guitars for over six straight minutes.

Rome by Phoenix remixed by Neighbors and Devendra Banhart

Rome is oddly expansive. It sounds simple, even a bit muddy, but it echos with subtleties.

Hero by Jeris

CCmixter editor spinningmerkaba: "Hero" is a compelling mix from beginning to end. Featuring a stunning Lisa Debenedictis pell called Crooked Mile, and built on the frame work of Aamu’s excellent treatment, Hero is a gem in the ccMixter repertoire. It also highlights our unique culture of remixing, as a secret mix of a secret mix. Follow the history of the track in Remix History.

Exactly As An Hypothesis My Funk Is My Identity by Mickey Eats Plastic

I'm not sure who's responsible for Exactly As An Hypothesis My Funk Is My Identity, but I think it's Dorian Concept. In any case, it's a lovely take on a great track.

Radio Moscow Funk in A by texasradiofish

If you've liked any of the songs by Budos Band you should quite enjoy Radio Moscow Funk in A.

Disciplined by Halo 33

Disciplined won't quite drive a body to dance like the original, and replaces that impulse with an odd, ethereal atmosphere.

I'm Not Impressed by Puce

There's an impressive irony in I'm Not Impressed. Puce talks about mediocrity in music, but can't manage to write more than one verse. It's still catchy as hell.

I Hate Your Blog by MC Frontalot

The vast majority of opinion and diary blogs make me think the same thing Frontalot says: I Hate Your Blog. It's incredibly terrible and bad.

Meet The Frownies by Twin Sister

As titles go, I have a hard time picking a better on than Meet The Frownies, especially once you get an ear load of the ethereal bit of electronic pop it's attached to.

Spread Our Little Wings by The Delano Orchestra

A delicately whispered folk song, Spread Our Little Wings sounds about as un-orchestral as you can imagine a song being. Unmistakably beautiful nonetheless.

Electronic Devices #1 by Daniel Bautista

The recording of Electronic Devices #1 is a little muddier than a typical Daniel Bautista track, but the energy and the tonal movements are captivating, and the distortion doesn't seem to work against it.

Freak Out by Tapes 'n' Tapes

This Freak Out bumps along at an energetic pace with an interesting color and a catchy pop sensibility.

Talk About Suffering by Greg Graffin

Greg Graffin's banjo folk in Talk About Suffering strangely doesn't sound all that far from the fast punk he makes with bad religion. The subject matter is similar, but the pace is much more relaxed.

The City by Klima

Aurgasm: The slow evolving melodic lines of "The City" float with an eerie grace and the reminiscence of the 80′s synthpop.

Baba Ganoush by Josh Woodward

Baba Ganoush is the silliest tune "Wosh Joodward" has put out. It's full of entertaining piano licks and ridiculous accents.

Octavio by Viva Voce

Octavio starts and ends with an interesting percussion line. In between they give you a lovely and relaxed pop-rock song.

Wandlight by Tiny Folk

A tiny folk song about the shivers that can run down your spine when reading by the Wandlight in the right company.

The Hump by Podington Bear

About half way through the year Podington Bear set to put out a new song three times a week came The Hump. It's an unusually somber piano and wind piece.

Nothing Can Come Between Us by Obi Best

Nothing Can Come Between Us is a title that just screams sparkling pop, and Obi Best one ups that with playful lyrics, tight arrangements, and a stellar voice.

Too Much by Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Steven's latest album, The Age of Adz, seems to have gone crazy and flown off into unusual electro-acoustic territory. There's Too Much riding on it to abandon his lush orchestration, which combines with the tweaked out electro clatter for an interesting experience.

How's It Gonna End by Tom Waits

Real Gone is the first record Tom Waits recorded without any piano. How's It Gonna End is a smoky noir tale, full of tales told in dark bars.

Black Lung Pop by yes.no.yes

Black Lung Pop is an instrumental track from yes.no.yes. It starts softly, led around by strings. Then it stops, and shortly after a fuzzy guitar brings it towards more post-rock territory.
