Anoice

Anoice is a six-piece piano based instrumental group from Tokyo. They use an awesome assortment of instruments ranging from the viola to the tenor saxophone. This song slowly picks up and almost reminds me of a classical piece. A cleaner non-live version of this song can be found here: Liange

God Is An Astronaut

I know that God Is An Astronaut will not be a new band for most, but I was inspired to post this song when I woke up in the middle of the night and this song was playing on my computer (I have a bad/good habit of listening to music when I sleep). Simply one of the best post rock outfits to ever exist, I would kill to see them live. I encourage you to dive deep into this group's records. All of them are unique and push the band's creativity to the next level.

Non Dolet

Non Dolet is the experimental project of a very talented musician named Alisa. I met Alisa on Last FM and wanted to help her expose her music. She lives in Russia and studies at the Music Conservatory. Check out her new album entitled "Inner," a great work that features a diverse selection of tracks crafted with emotion.

Bohren & der Club of Gore

A completely new experience for me. A blend of noir jazz and dark ambient. As slow as it gets. It looks like I have a whole new sub-genre to start searching through. This is only a portion of the song, I really enjoy when the sax comes in at 2:34.

Subheim

Subheim is the amazing solo project of Kostas K. The first time I listened to this song my roommate came out of his room and asked if I was hacking into some secret government website. I guess I could see where he is coming from, but I can't stop listening to this haunting track. It helps you search the depths of your soul.

Yndi Halda

Yndi Halda is an incredible post rock band from England. Their music is known to be happy and optimistic but it can truly evoke a wide range of emotions. I feel that the variety of instruments they use make them unique and help them stand out amongst other post rock bands. Enjoy!
