Shannon And The Clams - You Can Come Over

 

[theotherside]

^^That was an interesting listen to say the least Liked it a lot. That album cover made me give it a listen.

 

[tribal girl]

Glad you liked it. The album is definitely worth getting your hands on. It's full of lush 60's girl group inspired goodness.

Hank & Cupcakes - Pleasure Town :D

 

[MrGrunge]

Lia Ices - "Daphne"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd6KT7ALh2k

This lady has an amazing voice, and the tempo change around 2:50 gives me chills every time I hear it.

Geographer - "Original Sin"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyMTeEtctkk

Kind of an electro-pop song. Personally, I think this album is perfect for tripping.

Ramona Falls - "Melectric"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ71b206opI

Another song that just screams "Holy shit I wish I had some acid, this would take me straight to Jupiter"

Grails - "All the colors of the Dark"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn9MyuJbR-Q

I'm a big post-rock fan, and these guys really know how to provide ambiance. But when those wailing guitars and gongs kick in around :50, I wanna jump up and fuck some shit up!

 

[coelophysis]

It's almost a sin to lump Grails into the "post rock" margins. They are much much more. Psychedelic rock would even be more fitting.

I guess that's fair. I just use post-rock to describe any sort of subdued, psychedelic/ambient type music. Although, I don't think there's anything wrong being lumped into the same category as Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor, or Slint. Grails definitely seems more dramatic than most other conventional post-rock groups, though.

going to see them in two weeks, so excited. look how hot they all are!

dreamy, warm, fuzzy, sorta psychedelic rock.

 

[tribal girl]

^Hmmm, pretty damn good.

Western Hymn

Though not on lead vocals, I'm pretty pleased that Sarah Utter is playing guitar again (formally of Bangs), and not just designing awesome t-shirts and stuff.

The Samuel Jackson Five

The Samuel Jackson Five is a band from Oslo, Norway, that play post-rock with a slight folk, math, hardcore, jazz and progrock influence.

Song for Sarah

Both albums "Goodbye Melody Mountain" and "Easily Misunderstood" are amazing.

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

Regina Spektor

i like her. a lot.

 

[Psychlone Jack]

I know I'm late as fuck on this... but I was riding across town with my roommate the other day and he put in some Kings of Leon. I never paid them much attention, but I'm impressed.

 

[Fixed5217]

The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I'm late because anton seems to have exiled himself from the US, but then again they too were late. If I played a mix of 60's psych jangle rock you wouldn't know when the 90's band slipped in.

The War on Drugs has been an awesome re-invention of classic rock through a new lense; great effects and dylan-esque singing:

My really cool discovery especially after a foray through Thurston's Trees Outside the Academy: Kurt Vile. Kurt played guitar in the war on drugs, but has also done some solo stuff which is excellent...listening to Smoke Ring For My Halo right now. It kinda inspires me to play guitar more, and it's excellent work and great listening.

and with thurston...
