Straw Man by The John Benjamin Band

From days of yore, John Benjamin's Straw Man erupts into a noisy protest: "Don't push me down just to show how spineless I have become. That isn't kind."

Kohonen Neural Network by Daniel Bautista

I always prefer vorbis

The Irreconcilables by Nathan Clevenger Group

The Irreconcilables is just plain excellent jazz. It sounds cohesive and excellent throughout, with playful expressions on top of solid harmonies.

Firenze (The Crash Davis Spectacular Mix) by Canasta, remixed by Crash Davis

The drum runs punctuating Firenze (The Crash Davis Spectacular Mix) are the most spectacular part.

Night Air by Jamie Woon, remixed by Deadboy

Gorilla vs Bear calls Deadboy's take on Night Air "haunting". I find it subtle, dark, intriguing, and yes, haunting.

Roadside Distraction by Aaron Parks

There's a wonderful throwback feel to the lovely piano at the heart of this Roadside Distraction.

Ethete by Paul Cantrell

Ethete is a short, quiet, drifting sort of improvisation, like snowflakes in the air.

Beat Me Up by Lonbobby featuring JC

It's been a long time since I've featured Lonbobby's autotuned electronic pop. Beat Me Up is what he does well.

Dots On Maps by Say Hi

Dots On Maps fits well into the three to five minute pop song mold with a pleasing steady build up, a story in the lyrics, and a catchy refrain ("There's a trigger somewhere let's pull it").

Buzzer by Podington Bear

The shuffling beats make Buzzer stand out from long list soundtrack suitable music Podington Bear offers.

Knockout by Air Waves

Gorilla vs Bear: "Knockout is a seemingly simple folk-pop gem, elevated by new Austin resident Nicole Schneit‘s (aka Air Waves) casually poignant lyrics and her apparently effortless knack for crafting warmly familiar, bittersweet melodies (a nice assist from Jennifer Moore of YellowFever helps too). The wistfully rolling heartbreaker is the opening track from Dungeon Dots, Air Waves’ stellar forthcoming full-length, due later this month on Underwater Peoples".

Comet by The Rhombus

The Comet coming this way is more distorted electronic rock from The Rhombus.

I like it best in vorbis.

Death In 7/4 by Automassage

Trying to describe Death in 7/4 leads me to appreciate it more because it's difficult to describe. It's noise rock mixed with slow quiet section and mantra-like distorted vocals.

Also available in vorbis.

At Last by The Dø

Aurgasm: "At Last carries rich guitar riffs, piano and bluesy harmonica arrangements woven with Olivia’s yearning, seductive vocals."

I Take That Back by Scott Gesser

I must have a soft spot for a capella harmonies, because that's what hits my ears in I Take That Back and not the awkwardness all about it.

Life Is Easy by State Shirt

Life Is Easy is over seven minutes of morose live-looping.

Afternoon Drive by Atlas Sound

This spacey instrumental makes for a good Afternoon Drive.

Hands by We Vs. Death

Hands is a slow moving tune bookended with verses about work.

Glóa Stafur by Mind Tree

With cinematic scope Glóa Stafur jumps into an energetic glitch, then let's go and falls into a cosmic explanse.

Ship by Throw Me The Statue

A drumbeat like a march is the first thing that jumps out at me from Ship, but it's the lovely shifting harmonies that really draw me in.

Treeship by Memory Tapes

Gorilla vs Bear: "Treeship is 20+ minutes of extremely chill/glowing new and original instrumental music that appeared on the bonus disc that came with the CD version of Memory Tapes‘ Seek Magic LP. Perfect soundtrack for tonight’s dreams".
