A Place to Bury Strangers - Exploding Head [2009/VBR]




Shoegaze infused with Noise Rock. Really great album, reminiscent of Veil Veil Vanish at times but with a mix of punk to its sound that really lends itself well to the shoegaze elements. Had this on my computer for a long time but it has taken me forever to finally listen to it, until now, and I'm really digging it. Will update this with a 320 link soon-ish.

You Slut! - Critical Meat [2008/VBR]


A nice blend of post-rock and electronic that sounds like what would happen if And So I Watch You From Afar and Fang Island had a spastic, hipster lovechild. Very short release (less than 30 minutes), but it's perfect for the type of music it is.

Artist: You Slut!
Album: Critical Meat
Release Year: 2008
Genre: Post-Rock/Electronic

1. Cut & Shut by You Slut!
2. On the Count of 13
3. Roofio Shoots, Roofio Scores
4. On-The-Spot Tina Turner Fire
5. Pie to the Death-Faced Indie Kid
6. 1s, 2ns (The Original Door)
7. Jarabew
8. Mybloodyjesusexploreronfire

Nero's Day at Disneyland - From Rotting Fantasylands [2009/VBR]




I'm not entirely sure what can be said about this album that'll live up to what it truly is. In terms of electronic music, it's easily one of the best albums ever written, and also my favourite electronic album. I'll just post what last.fm says about the guy, since it's a pretty awesome description of the music:

"Blending haunted 15th century music and a tangled mess of burnt out with a crushingly huge sense of scope, Nero’s Day At Disneyland seems to cram together the entire musical history of the last 2000 years."

Unfortunately I don't have a higher quality link, but this more than does it justice. I'll re-up a 320 link if I ever get my copy of the CD in.

Artist: Nero's Day at Disneyland
Album: From Rotting Fantasylands
Release Year: 2009
Genre: Electronic/8-Bit/Glitch

1. In Aisles
2. Civilizing People
3. No Money Down, Low Monthly Payments
