impu - Let it all flowers

very good, happy music :3

http://iqtu.com/ is his website, all his music is pay-what-you-want and streamable, enjoy!

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (')

<3 <3 <3

if you can find it, there is also a combo of this album and overnite sensation, that is definitely a bonus :)

Don Caballero - American Don

haven't posted math rock for a while, so i thought this classic math rock album was in order. its instrumental, and not as intense as some other math rock i've posted, but it is rather different than the tapping + superfast drums combo that is somewhat popular among the math rock genre.

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.

BLÆRG - Dysphoric Sonorities

here is some great jazzy idm/breakcore for you rapture survivors!

Esem - Scateren

pretty pretty tracker music :)

download it free (legally!) here

Plone - For Beginner Piano

sadly, this is plone's only album, as one of the three members died of cancer several years after the creating of this album, and the group then disbanded. rumor has it that they had a second album, which was never released, but somehow leaked onto the internet after the break up.

anyways, this music is rather cheery and analog, almost childish sounding, made mostly with vintage keyboards and fx. the composition is wonderful, and it makes me all warm inside. my only complaint is that it only runs for around half an hour :s

iqtu - Let it all flowers

noisy! glitchy! trippy! upbeat! and even, free!! what else do you want? :S

download/stream it here!

Piglet - Lava Land

like a more upbeat version of "giraffes? giraffes!"

The Littlest Viking - Labor & Lust

given that math rock (and occasionally instrumental rock in general) is often too musically technical to concern itself with such silly matters as "emotion" or "mood" or "theme", the littlest viking gives math rock fans a nice break from mindless guitar tapping and lets them step into a world of almost euphoric, upbeat instrumental rock with the odd time signatures we all love.

Mr. Spastic - Uber l33t n00b br34k5

jittery, glitchy chiptune music + lo fi break beats. all i can say, i am too tired to say more tonight *-*

<3

I, Cactus - I, Cactus

i, cactus is a chiptune artist with a mysterious backstory, but good talent for making fast paced fun chip music. glitchy and quick and enjoyable :)

dl it free here! http://www.8bitpeoples.com/discography/8BP033

Ken Kennerson - Beautitude

one of the many side projects of a great group, "giraffes? giraffes!", ken kennerson ranges in styles throughout their albums. this one tends to be a strange mix of happy, upbeat experimental rock, and depressing melodic tunes. this whole album is something of an emotional trip, not to mention hella weird.

you can buy it for 5 dollars here, and listen to the entire album, free, here: http://giraffesgiraffes.bandcamp.com/album/beautitude

or, you can get it somewhere else for free, if you have no conscience :p

no video today, listen to any of the songs in the album at their bandcamp, i just mentioned it a second ago, sillybutt!

Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)

classic eno, during his art/glam rock phase. most say it's a concept album revolving around the communist revolution in china, though i am not totally sure. most of the songs are rather happy, despite the serious subject(s) at hand. you'll have to look up the lyrics for this one, some of them are priceless.

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.

Holy Fuck - LP

yeah, i know, not really that obscure/new, but still really fun. pulsing improv melodic noisy electronic music, with lotsa trippy effects and manipulations that keep things sounding interesting :)

Circus Contraption - Our Latest Catalogue

one very interesting genre is cabaret, and an even more interesting subgenre is dark-cabaret, cabaret with a kind of dastardly, wacky, or even disturbing sense of humor or vibe. circus contraption is one such example of the genre, while also adding in the traditions of circus music and some almost charmingly vulgar and offensive sets of lyrics. this band even ends up taking a few jumps into the realm of avant-garde, which adds even more to the insanity that the circus brings.

Sickboy Milkplus - Tweencore

breathtaking breakcore/hardcore/speedcore deconstructions of all the crap kids are listening to nowadays. hella fun.

btw, 20th post, woo.

Luke Vibert - YosepH

there is a song in this album all about acid... i freaking love that song <3
