La Biblioteca Deserta

I discovered this band about a year ago when I was studying in Barcelona, and forgot about them until I came across them in my itunes again the other day. The five composers from Italy continue to inspire their small group of followers.

Björn Olsson

I can't stop listening to this song. There's just something so special about it that I cannot describe, so I won't even try.

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.

Callisto

A random Youtube find. Callisto is a post-metal band hailing from one of the places where metal is made best, Finland.

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.
