fantastic creative energy and passion from this band - shouting harmonies and foot stomping rhythm - you'll hear it most in I Woke Up Today a song that sends me flying around the room like a little child - Close the Lid is another stand out song

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

Beauty through strange circumstance: a wrist injury and a European trip have produced such such an interesting sound. Zach Condon's inability to grasp a guitar neck led him to play ukulele, and after dropping out of high school to tour Europe he became influenced by Balkan gypsy music. Luck aside, Zach's sultry voice, songwriting craft, and multi-instrument musical skill complete the package.

HUMPH - that's how AS can come at you like the power of a well thrown punch to the gut. Ffsshh - that's the cool breeze he can fan your way. Emcee and spoken word poet Amir Sulaiman has depth and range that few rappers can claim today. Powerful and beautiful like a tiger poised to take his prey.

nice, very easy to listen to, subdued crooner, elegant rock and roll - creative and visceral lyrics

Madvillain

hip hop group consisting of MF DOOM (MC/producer) and Madlib (MC/producer) unique approach - short songs, obscure lyrics, few choruses and a sound which is generally unfriendly to commercial radio -> source: Wikipedia

Deerhoof

delightfully scatterbrained art rock; psychedelic without being hippie/granola; effervescent feminine vocals

Band of Horses

If you're lookin' to unwind after a long hard day. Sit back and listen, have a cold beer, watch the sunset.
