Radiohead - Kid A - Full Album |
| One of the classics. At a time when music had become stale, indie rock didn't rock, electronic music was transforming from its 90s alter-ego known as techno into a million different variants and the new millenium was upon us, Kid A emerged. |

|
| |
 |
|
| Experimental ambient electronic duo Mount Kimbie have released the second song from their much-anticipated album Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, with the song Blood and Form. It's a very minimal and loop-based song, with a steady, pounding rhythm to underly the wry vocals. For minimal sounds it stays interesting ... always guessing as to where it will go next with out becoming stale loops. |
|
| |
 |
|
| The front and center aspect of the acoustic performance is a nice touch, personal and stripped down to its bare essence in a format that suits the band well. |

It's unbelievable. |

|
| |
|
|
| Sam Fogarino of Interpol has a new project called EmptyMansions, and he's just released a very gothic take on the classic Neil Young song Down By The River. It's hauntingly portrayed with a chorus of vocals that drive a sort of hell-meets-Neil-Young-in-an-old-school-castle kind of way, in slow motion. The effect is superb. |
|

|
| |
 |
|
| Timeless music ... they might be calling this post-rock for the need to put a label on it, but different parts of this song invoke completely different eras and genres. It starts out like the kind of 70's rock you could hear on FM radio, but it also gets into post-punk turns before heading off into post-rock and even punk sounds reminiscent of the early Sebadoh thrashings. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Fresh new indie pop sounds from Rogue Wave with the new song "College," off of the new album Nightingale Floors, due out on Vagrant Records on June 4. The album follows after the death of Zach Rogue's father, but rather than have the album be about dealing with the death, Zach and band chose to use Nightingale Floors to look at the good things in life instead of focusing on death. |

|
| |
 |
|
| Check out new music from Helado Negro with the song "Ilumina Vos" off of his new Invisible Life album, which was released this week. Helado Negro (aka Roberto C.

|
| Rollin Hunt might have just written the spectral soundtrack to the future. His new song Beautiful Park is cosmic indie pop in every sense of the word, each sound dazzles and percolates with life.

Spacelab Retrograde - Tricky - Maxinquaye (Full Album) |
| That classic first album from Tricky ... redefined music at the time and proved Tricky to be in the master class of making music. He'd come from the School of Massive Attack and split off from the band for creative differences. He found Martina Topley-Bird as a singer and together the two of them made the most incredible music and sounds. |

 |
|
| This sonic sprawling clocks in at almost eight minutes, and is almost reminiscent of the most experimental era of Pink Floyd -- their pre-success days that saw them doing the soundtrack to the film More or even the epic Ummagumma. Look at the name of the band and think about it. |
|
| |
 |
|

 |
|
| The new Lost Animal song "Lose the Baby" is a jangly indie pop kind of thing, from the album Ex Tropical that's due out next week on Hardly Art Records.
