Tomahawk - Anonymous

mike patton + traditional native american music = ???

incredibly bizarre but awesome, as is usual with mr. patton :D

The Book Of Knots - Traineater

Animal Collective - Feels

"hey cuttlefish (my musicname), i thought you said you weren't gonna make another hipster post..."

"yes, but, you see, animal collective is not hipster, it is awesome music that hipsters just happen to sometimes like too, so, uh, FUCK YOUUUUUUUUU"

feels is an album which might sound funny to you (at least, more funny than the usual animal collective freak folk would sound weird to you), and this is because all the instruments are very slightly untuned from the traditional twelve tones we are used to hearing. it sounds better than i am describing it just trust me.

The Octopus Project - Hello, Avalanche

quirky experimental tunes, very catchy and fun to listen to. this album incorporates old mountain folk instruments along with the octopus project's signature electronic doodling in odd time signatures.

They Might Be Giants - Flood

Guest post here. I am the regular posters brother. Sorry for any confusion; so am I. This is a album I picked, it isn't as crazy as by brothers usual stuff. I recommend this band and album to anyone who doesn't favor static and loud noises. Others might like it as well. My brother also likes this album. It has very diverse songs from an operatic opening (Theme from Flood) to an accordion based song (Istanbul). I also recommend any other album by this great band. You might also know them, if you are a weird fan freak, as the band who did the theme song for "Malcom in the Middle" and the "Hot Dog Song" from "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse".

Enjoy //o-o\\

Panda Bear - Person Pitch

moar animal collective for youuu. don't worry, this is the last of animal collective branches on here for a while, methinks.

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs

what was going through my mind when i posted this: "oh crap now they are all going to think i am a hipster now oh crap".

Maps & Atlases - Perch Patchwork

Math Rock has an interesting idea behind it, but today, the genre is predominately ruled by over-compressed tapping guitars with annoying repeating patterns, show off drummers, and whiny voiced musicians with barely any sense of melody, that honestly would fit in better with the emo crowd*. However, this release by Experimental Folk/Math Rock group Maps & Atlases really brings expression back to the genre of odd times and weird themes. Tagged by some as Outsider Music because of the singer's very distinctive voice and lyrics, along some odd lo-fi mixing and production techniques, it certainly takes a bit of getting used to. However, once you start to get into it, the beautiful and complex melodies and rhythms will make this an album you want to listen over and over again.
