Ólafur Arnalds – Variations of Static

Jeff Baertsch — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 21:37:08 +0000

Building upon our previous post of this Icelandic genius, here’s an EP. How is this guy only four, five years older than the two of us, and so successful? Insert masturbatory rant about how beautiful his pieces are, et cetera.

Dakota/Dakota – Shoot in the Dark

You see, when a band shows up on Last.fm as a super similar artist to Piglet, one must listen to them.

Amber Daybreak – Sentinels

Belgian kids doing something a bit different with the whole skramz thing. The group vocals get you so fired up. Honorable mention to the song ‘Winter Seems Longer’ for keeping me sane the past few weeks.

Tenebre – In Everything Give Thanks

Jeff Baertsch — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:32:44 +0000

How we don’t have a Tenebre album up yet, I don’t know. It’s upbeat. It’s a light listen. It makes you want to smile. God knows half of us have forgotten how to do that after we’ve listened to East Hastings thirty times. Oh, and the pizzicato is a nice touch too. Enjoy.

33.3 – Plays Music

Jeff Baertsch — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 06:42:19 +0000

In continuation of my posts fueled by my hard-on of all things cello (and any strings for that matter), I bring you this. In the spirit of Fago.Sepia, it brings together a lot of Math-Rock, Post-Rock, and Jazz. Unlike Fago.Sepia though, they bring in some woodwinds so it’s a bit more Jazz influenced.

Precious Fathers – S/t

Jeff Baertsch — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:39:30 +0000

My computer is fixed, so maybe I’ll post here some more (although Stacey always has better posts than me). Anyways, you can tell these guys have done their fair share of listening to Math-Rock. It’s definitely more upbeat than your average Post-Rock band, kinda Shoegazey. What’s really cool is that these guys are from Vancouver and I’m thinking about relocating there, any band I can half enjoy really is exciting to me. Alaskan music sucks.
