--- Quote from: blashco on 16 Dec 2008, 11:35 ---Here is a new EP from an Indie band "Night Beds"
This is Night Beds - S/T EP. It sounds, as the name implies, very dreamlike with muted melodies and very rhythmic drum beats and harmonious overlays of vocals and chimes. The talent comes from Winston Yellen and Matt Wilcox. Winston's last band, Winter Boat, nailed the melodic indie pop-rock down to a science, and Matt's last band, Matt and Isom, was an electric romp through the fields of melodrama. You could say this is a fusion of the two, creating an amazingly epic sound. Check them out. They are working on a new EP for January. If you like the stuff and want to hear their other bands, just PM me and I'll up it in a jiffy. Thanks!

Here is another album (a re-up by request).
This is The Apple Miner Colony - The Heat Haunted Fever. If one word defines this band, it is "epic." With over 30 members and utilizing nearly every instrument you can imagine (guitars, drums, mandolins, banjos, trumpets, trombones, tubas saxophones, clarinets keyboards, etc... they even have a damn musical saw), The Apple Miner Colony forges an epic fusion between Folk Rock and Orchestrated Orgasm. With an average song length of 7 minutes, this concept album paints a picture book with its detailed and beautiful lyrics and orchestrated compositions. It even has some postrock embedded in there, creating one of my favorite albums of this year. Check them out! They are also working on a new album for release in the spring/summer.

Loving this thread - If I can find anything not already here, I'll pack it up and post it. What's the general consensus on metal?

Elizabeth Anka Vajagic - Stand With The Stillness Of This Day

I don't feel like writing about this album because I am lazy, so here is what the nice dudes at Constellation have to say about this album.
--- Quote ---With this debut recording, Elizabeth Anka Vajagic sets her vocals against a backdrop led by ragged guitars, moving from harrowing, dry-as-a-bone intimacy (“With Hopes Lost”, “Iceland”) to reverb-soaked torch-song balladry (“Around Here”, “Sleep With Dried Up Tears”), and the odd explosive noise freak-out along the way (“Where You Wonder”). Vajagic’s voice and lyrics are uniquely powerful, able to move across a considerable range while remaining guttural, unflinching and honest as hell. Through much cross-pollination with the local noise/improv scene, Elizabeth has assembled a fine cast of players to add textures and arrangements to the seven tracks on this debut record, making for an intense cycle of songs peppered with skittering drums, contrebasse, cello, harmonium, piano, bowed cymbals, and oud. Guest players include Chris Burns and Simon Fazakerly (Crackpot) on guitars, Beckie Foon (Silver Mt. Zion, Esmerine) on cello, Michel Langevin (Voivod) on drums, Fluffy Erskine (Molasses, Hrsta) on musical saw, Sam Shalabi (The Shalabi Effect, solo) on oud and Efrim (GYBE, Silver Mt. Zion) on piano, harmonium, guitar and backing vocals. The album was recorded by Howard Bilerman at the Hotel2Tango in Montreal.

I will warn you though, this is one of the saddest and bleakest pieces of music I have uploaded.

The consensus is "hooray!"
Seriously though, and this is for everybody: You do not have to ask permission to upload free music for us to listen to. If anybody complains about what you have uploaded, then they are an ungrateful dick and fuck 'em.

Castor - Self Titled (Mud Records - 1995)
There is no way I can describe them...so here's a half assed description from Wikipedia:
--- Quote ---"Castor was an American indie rock/emo band from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. Formed in 1994, they were known for their "fluid" sound, often changing time signatures several times in a song while maintaining the flow of the music."
--- End quote ---
Whatever. Complex, heavy, moving, loud come to mind. I don't know what to say about the interplay...labyrinthine. Beautiful really.

a couple of songs in, and this is like a bleaker (but awesome) middle-ground between Braid and American Football. :-o
I fucking love you.
