The debut, self-titled album from Oklahoma City-based band The Uglysuit is refreshingly bright, with huge, spirit-raising, piano and guitar anthems. The group mixes artful dream pop with a few alt-country flavors (lead singer Israel Hindman's voice mimicks Jeff Tweedy one minute, Conor Oberst the next), and has been compared to the Flaming Lips and the Shins.

if you haven't heard Vampire Weekend yet, do yourself a favor and follow this link - two previously unreleased tracks here - thank you daytrotter

Sometimes light and spacious, at other times eerie and dense with an ominous weight, this self titled album touches upon Velvet Underground, The Zombies or This Heat while not really having any obvious precursors – a lo-fi masterpiece cloaked in layers of vibrato and guitar wash.

mega catchy crisp cold filtered pop without a trace of impurities - feel good hits for the summer - unbelievably unsigned - get'em before he's all sold out ;-P - stand out tracks: Coast of Carolina & Awkward Kisser

Did you wtf the first time you heard Neil Young's falsetto? Recalibrate your ears for Falcon, you'll get the same, "ah ok I get it" after a few listens. You'll find mournful, soulful songs good for winding down a bit.

With influences as diverse as Bad Brains and Aretha Franklin you can't put Santogold in a box. She embraces comparisons to The Pixies, but there's so much more goin' on here. There are nods to 80s new wave & pop, reggae, and punk rock / ska. Here's two sets and an interview from KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic.

one of the best bands of 2007 - acoustic set here recorded at WOXY - don't pass this over - 3 tracks + interview

lighten up a bit - don't take yourself too seriously - but seriously, this is very good songwriting - makes me want to cartwheel

Thick on energy, passion, spirit. Thin on exposure, tour dates in the US. Black on The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr. White on Los Campesinos! Fast on creativity, depth. Slow on caution, fear.
