Le Grenier by Jessica Fichot

Aurgasm: "French chanson tradition, Chinese folk motifs, Continental jazz and Latin notes are interwoven together into a colourful collection of songs on Jessica Fichot’s debut album." Le Grenier is one fine example.

This Feeling by Her Highness

The first thing you hear in This Feeling is an echoing beat. Everything else is sparse; silly vocals, simple reed melodies, and some added percussion.

Slow Motion by Panda Bear

Among my favorites on Panda Bear's live bootleg featured on Gorilla vs Bear is his performance of Slow Motion. His echoing vocals and repetitive playing makes for an unusual experience.

Lonbobby's Song Fight contributions have been sparse the last few years. One of his contributions about a year ago looks back sadly at his Favorite Lego Bricks while looking forward to the next twenty years with fear.

Sling Shot Pt. 2 by Lefties Soul Connection

Aurgasm, on Lefties Soul Connection: "Their drums bang loud and crisp, their guitars rock and wobble, and your speakers, if you’re doing it right, will buzz something fierce." But as the Aurgasm author points out, the thing that stands out in Sling Shot Pt. 2 is the Hammond organ.

The Handsome Furs latest, Sound Kapital, ventures away from guitar music towards dance electronica. What About Us is a beautiful example.

Life and death are the themes of this simple pop tune. The Red River returns all it catches to the ocean from which it came.

Wake 44 by We Vs. Death

The percussion really makes Wake 44. It starts with a stuttering drum rhythm and a few sparse notes to add color. Guitars an brass are added to and taken from this foundation, but it's the extra percussion at 5 minutes that makes my ears perk.
