1977 by Ana Tijoux

Aurgasm: Ana’s voice is velvety and smoky, some times whispery, yet always seamlessly flowing with the the beats. One song standing out is the largely autobiographical title track 1977 with its strong melody, Mexican trumpets, dynamic rhythms and truly excellent production.

Ready For The World by How To Dress Well

Ready for the World seems a tad ironic. It sounds claustrophobic, anxious, uncertain. Perhaps these are good ways to meet the world.

Vampire by Pink Mountaintops

If it takes anything more than the promise of a choir singing "Let's be creatures of the night" to get you to listen to Vampire, you may be lost to me.

Hell Dog From Outer Space or From Hell at Least by Cherly KaCherly

The Chemist Of Figueras Looks For Nothing At All by Noertker's Moxie

For such a strange name, The Chemist of Figueras Looks for Nothing at All is a rather conventional jazz piece, complete with a sequence of solo breaks. But expect more adventurous offerings from Noertker's Moxie on this blog in the future.

Up Past The Nursery by Suuns

Up Past the Nursery is minimalist pop at its best: vocals reduced to rhythm, melody reduced to tones, rhythm reduced to a pulse.

Shake Hands by Birthmark

Brooklyn Vegan:: "Like other projects Nate has been involved in, Antibodies embraces playfully weird indie pop but is more relaxed than the math-based Joan of Arc or Make Believe." Shake Hands with this weird indie pop.

Coca Cola Commercial by Tiny Creatures

If this is what a Coca Cola Commercial sounded like, I might enjoy watching more television.

Get your fake commerce in the decidedly less commercial vorbis format.
