soundtrack to the apocalypse

so this is pretty low-key, kind of a more spread out explosions in the sky, but its very movie soundtrack-like so emily you might like it. maybe its a little too depressing but give it a try its kinda creepy in a cool way.

Godspeed You! Black Emporer - F♯A♯∞

spoooooon

so this one took a little longer, but it gets my stamp of approval. look out for 'the mystery zone'. give it a few listens before you give up on it, its not as straightforward as gimme fiction.

The Mystery Zone - Spoon

Spoon - Transference

folk day

here's the sophomore album from some guy that came out of nowhere with 'shallow grave'. i think you guys have it so let me know if not. this one sounds like a good complement to the first album.

The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt

Crosby, Stills, & Nash - s/t

so i know our parents probably played this album to death, but i sure dont remember most of these songs. between this, buffalo springfield, and neil young, ive finally gotten into oldies albums! just skip marrakesh express (it didnt age well) and youve got a pretty awesome album. its not ruined by radio hits either (judy blue eyes never gets old)

the other cut copy album

is just as good as the most recent. if you don't have it let me know

Going Nowhere - Cut Copy

check out that momhair

you'll like this one - its your typical indie girl singer songwriter stuff but she can play the electric guitar!! You get nice little ditties and then electric guitar freakouts mid song. A good starting point is 'laughing with a mouth of blood' or 'save me from what i want'

St. Vincent - Actor

assorted albums

I'll do a writeup on these eventually, just have a backlog of stuff i wanted to get up

Teen Dream

The Besnard Lakes - Are The Roaring Night

Field Music - Measure

Vampire Weekend - Contra

The Knife - Silent Shout

Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield

deerhunter, best band of the late naughties

If you want a good introduction to this band, listen to Fluorescent Grey, its a good distillation of their sound, and it is perfect.

Fluorescent Grey

Cryptograms (best album)

Microcastle

Weird Era

Rainwater Cassette Exchange

Atlas Sound

get your shins fix!

this is a collaboration between the shins lead singer and Danger Mouse, some guy involved in gorrilaz who also made a white album / black album mashup. whatever. it sounds like shins to me
