Bad Vibrations - Black Train
Heavy stoner punk Halifavourites and all around delightful power trio.
Deerhoof - Deerhoof vs. Evil
Wacky, catchy rock songs for kids with ADD and good taste.
Destroyer - Kaputt
Bowiesque Canadian weirdo puts his pompous songs through an '80s pop machine.
Dog Day - Deformer
Just a duo now, and we may miss the full band, but those songs!
Thurston Moore - Demolished Thoughts
Like slowed down acoustic Sonic Youth with Beck prettying it up.
Jürgen Müller - Science of the Sea
Not actually a rediscovered soundtrack by a '70s German oceanographer, but beautifully convincing.
The Oscillation - Veils
I already told you about this one. Postpunk space rock. (If you like it, also check out Suuns in the Honourable Mentions.)
Radiohead - The King of Limbs
I'll admit I was disappointed at first, but I've come around. Definitely a grower.
Tape - Revelationes
Gorgeous Swedish ambient post-rock.
Walls - Coracle
Gorgeous British ambient dance-pop.
Honourable Mentions:
The Caretaker - An Empty Bliss Beyond This World
Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica
Suuns - Zeroes QC
tUnE-yArDs - WHOKILL
Lest my brevity convince you otherwise, please understand that all this stuff is really great. Try some, buy some, fee fi fo fum!
