Frightened Rabbit are an excellent live band. I've seen them several times by chance at music festivals and the like and they've been great. Got talking and drinking with them a few times as well, really sound guys.

Here we have a indie-folk-blues-rock album by an artist of sorts located in Alabama. This is a relatively short album, but solid nonetheless. To keep this short, I'd say it could be called a less positive and thicker half-handed cloud, but with less high pitched vocals.
Or a squirrel eating a cicada, wait what? But, for real. It's something I doubt any of you have heard of and thought you might appreciate it.
btw, i try to contribute as much as i can, and i appreciate everyone's contributions to this forum.
i hope everyone listens to that 'hurtbreak wonderland' by world's end girlfriend that was posted a while back. it's really powerful, one of my favorite post-rock albums, ever.

By Chance Upon Waking, by Nalle
--- Quote from: slightly shitty 'Pop Matters' review ---Nalle's MySpace page ranks the "magico-religious traditions of birds and bears" as one of their influences, and that, combined with the mysterious folktale ink drawings of wings and trees on the packaging should go a long way towards telling you if you'll like this band or not. Hanna Tuulikki's voice has crimped, crisp, zig-zagged edges; she sounds as if each note is being cut slowly out of the air with a pair of pinking shears, or as if her vocal cords have been taken over by a croaking goat. She plays the kantele and sings about the sun. Her companions, Chris Hladowski and Aby Vulliamy, play bouzoukis, ouds, clarinets, violas, and other instruments. Their tunes prink with awkwardness, a kind of willed, spiky simplicity that keeps you quivering and alert. When Tuulikki sings, "I touch a liiitttle tip," the instruments twitch in sympathy, and the emotion of the simple action -- touching -- is illustrated with such empathetic devotion that it's almost embarrassing, like watching someone get stigmata in church. I've seen the word 'freakfolk' used to describe Finnish bands such as Paavoharju. You could use it here as well.

Sweet Heart Fever, by Scout Niblett
--- Quote from: allmusic ---Similar to many of the artists in the Secretly Canadian stable, Scout Niblett also has an affinity for soft vocals, hard acoustic guitars, and tear-drenched lyrics that bubble over with emotion. Immediate references to Cat Power and PJ Harvey may be inevitable, but Scout (aka Emma Louise Niblett) definitely has a voice all her own. And it's easily distinguished for those who can tell Songs: Ohia's Jason Molina and Palace's Will Oldham apart, but for others there won't be as much discrepancy. Niblett's debut, Sweet Heart Fever, is filled with lush, melodic compositions of the minimal sort. Usually with just a guitar and angelic voice, Niblett tells serious tales with heartfelt songwriting, sounding uncannily American even though she's British. Her somewhat gothic sound is incredibly warm in tone yet touches a sense of longing and loneliness. Regardless, Niblett will warm your heart from the first couple of tracks in. Only occasionally is Kristian Goddard's drumming enlisted, and it sits comfortably in the second place, providing a light oomph to Niblett's swelling vocals. The songs are pensive and tuneful throughout, and only in one rare instance does she fall off the rails. This exception is the clumsy "Big Bad Man," even though it is the hardest of all the tracks -- as it sees Niblett getting up from behind her guitar and seemingly rocking out in a somewhat childish and goofy manner. Aside from that, the other 13 tracks are superlative. Sweet Heart Fever is a stunning debut.

Matzak - Life Beginnings (2007)
Really good minimal techno, it kinda reminds me of Booka Shade, Pantha Du Prince, and Deadmau5. I find the tracks very repetitive in the best way (I never get tired of the beat), with an optimistic feel. I can't see anyone who likes any kind of electronic music not loving the last track.

A few years ago I had a holiday in Dubrovnik. Each time we went to the old city, there was this group of buskers near the main gate - a violinist, a flautist, and two guitarists - playing classical pops, both old and new. They did it with such skill and unbounded enthusiasm, that I bought their CD. It seems, from what I could trace of them on the Internet, that they are professional musicians. Anyway, here it is.

No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at http://imageshack.us.
Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.
Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to mediaf!re.com, in multiple parts if the album is over 100mbs. The reason for this is that we know mediaf!re is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.
Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.
Also, please do NOT request albums.
Before you post in this thread, take a minute and consider the following:
Think of this as the community chest. Everyone is free and encouraged to contribute to it, with that in mind:
* This thread is for you to share the music that you love for people who would normally not be able to access it. This is not an everything-goes-all-the-time mp3 blog.
* Think about what you are uploading. Is it easily available elsewhere and popular? If yes, is it really worth it to upload and post here?
* Have some self control. Is it really necessary to upload the entire discography of this band? Is it all really so excellent? If it is, don't worry. Whoever downloads this will surely realise this and look for more material on their own.
To return to the community chest, imagine you one day open the chest and everyone threw everything inside it. There's probably more things that you can use there now, but they are now buried in a mountain of debris and you'll likely miss the good stuff anyway! Imagine though, that you come to the chest one day and you find that everyone thought about what might best serve us all and the neatly placed it inside. This is what this thread should be.
