The Motorist by Arms And Sleepers

The Motorist is beautiful, melancholic, and cinematic, blending elements of rock, electronic music, and hip hop.

Shadowcat by Canasta

I'm not religious. Quite the opposite in fact. But religion, most of the other things people care deeply about, inspires a great deal of moving art. Shadowcat resonates with that pathos.

Pulse Of Light by if:then:goto

Pulse of Light meanders around, starting with drum pops and vocals, adding clear and distorted guitars, and even some horn flourishes. The song incorporates several tempo changes as well as changes in orchestration.

Indefinite Acrobat by State Shirt

Beware of grave robbers from outer space. Indefinite Acrobat warns. It's full of sound experiments, kicking rhythms, chopped vocals, and layers of guitars and bass.

An earlier version appeared in the Space Cadet fight, with a surfeit of TV samples, but lacking the kick the drums of the newer release.

I Want You by Summer Camp

There's something hot to the naked declaration of desire. Summer Camp accentuates this with a pulsing beat when they say I Want You.

Ego Manic Kid by Blonde Redhead

Ego Manic Kid is stripped down and lo-fi compared to their sparkling, layered later work, but it's just as ethereal and atmospheric.

Mind Mapping by Revolution Void

Mind Mapping is an optimal blend of hip-hop and jazz styles in a swirling mix of melody and beat.

I listen to this particularly striking track in vorbis.

The Skratch by Her Highness

Her Highness sounds like she's singing through the blades of a fan in The Skratch. This matched against odd percussion and a harmonium makes for a strange show.

Enjoy more music in vorbis.

Our Love Goes Deeper Than This by Duke Special

Aurgasm: "In Our Love Goes Deeper Than This Duke merges a variety of inspirations such as melodramatic Vaudeville, big band and Bebop with rich and bouncy piano, clarinet, trumpet, drums and quirky sound effects."

Ghost Of An Afternoon by Dave Fischoff

Ghost of an Afternoon is every bit the drifting pop that its title suggests.

Intersection by yes.no.yes

Intersection repeats, repeats, softly, then explodes and keeps up a furious pace until it ends.

Burning House Market by The Whiskers

A strange acoustic indie pop song is the perfect vehicle for talking about the Burning House Market.

Yr Love by Holy Other

Yr Love is as beautiful as the name implies, with the dreamy, melancholy feeling of someone missing.

What We Need More Of Is Science by Brother Machine

What We Need More of is Science is a little poppy part of everything we need to never understand the situation.

Inifinite Horizon is a sparklingly beautiful piece of folk-pop from Josh Woodward's latest album, Ashes.

Björk by Poddington Bear

Pod bear's homage to Björk starts off distorted and roughed up, but quickly falls into a playful melody.

Bats by My Toys Like Me

Bats is all about being a creature of the night, senses sharpened by the darkness.

Found Groove by General Fuzz

Found Groove leads off Inner Sunset with a soft, pulsing, relaxed joy. The strings about two thirds in and the bass drop that interrupts them hit me just right.

Cellar Door by Puce

Puce's Cellar Door is not a pleasant song. He plays an out of tune piano and sings about a father raping his daughter in their basement. Somehow I still find this compelling.

O, Submarine! by Tiny Folk

O, Submarine! is the greatest, most adorable tiny folk song ever! Life is a joke, and it's funny.

Shine On by Korallreven

Shine On starts with a low string line and builds layer after layer to construct blissful bittersweet ethereal pop.

Cloudy Shoes by Damien Jurado

Damien Jurado's croon sounds wonderful in his wistful Cloudy Shoes.

Tallymarks by Portland Cello Project featuring Thao Nguyen

Portland Cello Project's lovely sounds swim around Thao's solid pop songwriting, adding a sonic depth to Tallymarks.

The manic keys and swirling sounds Daniel Bautista summons makes for a thrilling Intro to his album Recycle Bin.

Five Nights In Britain by Tiny Robots

Tiny Robots took a few Song Fight crowns in their day, including Five Nights in Britain with this charming Americana tinged folk pop tune.

You Can Count On Me by Panda Bear

You Can Count on Me starts with a long intro that seems to have very little to do with the slow, pounding song that follows.

Fraud In The 80s by Mates Of State

Fraud in the 80s never sounded near as catchy as it does when Mates of State presents it.

Cable TV by Fol Chen

Aurgasm calls Cable TV "Cryptic, dark and danceable." Fantasizing about a weekend escape spent watching TV is certainly dark.
