The Phantom Band - Checkmate Savage
Snippet from Cokemachineglow: 89%/82% Combo Rating
--- Quote ---...Checkpoint Savage wades along distinctly deeper shorelines, piranhas nibbling at the bones of indie that might peg it out as end-of-Mean-Girls music. “The Howling,” one of the record’s more straightforward of the nine pieces, is old-school Snow Patrol on Viagra: one in the eye for Gary Lightbody and the pact he made with the ambassadors of dadrock. Frontman Richard Anthony’s vocals wear his Scottish colours with pride, bonding the waves of ideas from the band as they master their snailshells and shelvaphones (they made that last one themselves from steel shelving brackets, apparently). “Throwing Bones” takes a rocket ship ride through cool Roxy Music and tweaks it with Jim Beam and acid—the homemade stuff with the seeds and ether that you have to chew forty times before swallowing. Cast your mind back and remember that steady drawl of your first trip—schemes, confessions, revenge—pouring out of you in raw divinity rather than whispered to a shirtless reflection. That’s the algorithm in play here and the Band cling to it like balloon string, knowing it’s as strange and valuable as baby unicorn shit. Follow the hoofmarks further and wig out with “Burial Sounds,” where black swamp and tinges of UK garage (it’s there, trust me) help gravediggers fend off Hell’s Angels.

Of Montreal - Pre-Cherry Peel Demo
Can't find the album cover.
This is a pretty lo-fi example of Of Montreal. It's worth listening to just because it's one of the first things they did and it's pretty good.

That album looks good, thanks Kyros. Cool album cover, that review just confused me though heh. How do I quote someone and have their name show up in the quote box?
Here you go Nicky:
The Lovely Feathers - My Best Friend Daniel
Indie rock, very similar to their second album in style and quality. A few songs are on both albums but it's neat because they kind of reinvent them.

I posted this earlier but it only got like 7 downloads so i'm posting it again.
This is honestly one of the better albums i've come across recently. Up there with Merriweather Post Pavillion. In his sophomoric album the hyper literate Peter Adams veered away from the rushed production that plagued his first album and took his time getting this album out, and his extra work payed off. The production on this album is flawless which is especially impressive because he played nearly every instrument and sang. Utilizing his classical training and an uncanny ability to create catchy tunes, he has produced one of the best albums i've ever heard. I can't pick a favorite song because all of them are so amazing but buried in the middle of the album is a song so beautiful I stop whatever i'm doing when i comes on and just listen. "I was looking at the ceiling, and then I saw the sky" is an instrumental masterpiece that at the same time haunts you and gives you hope. I can't explain it. His lone violin weep tears of joy juxtaposed on an ethereal electronic soundscape.
With no further adieu i give you,
Peter Adams - I Woke Up With Planets In My Face
