The Cave Singers - No Witch. This is decent. HYPEM has some tracks. Maybe you'll dig it. Vaguely bluesy, kinda folky. Name reminded me of our ol' buddy Nick Cave.
Braids - Native Speaker
This sounds intriguing. It's also getting hype. I can see why. Can you? HYPEM will help you determine that.
James Blake - James Blake
HYPEM. Gotta hear more of this; Limit to Your Love is pretty awesome, but looking at the RYM reviews I think it doesn't cover the style of the whole album.
The Go! Team - Rolling Bloackouts offers some up-beat mixture of electronic and rock music. It's kinda loud, though. Could use some work on the production side of things.
The Decemberists - The King is Dead is an album that probably isn't for me. But even so, the songs are impressive. Down by The Water (hypem) is particularly interesting (more @ HYPEM).
Destroyer - Kaputt (HYPEM)
Well, this is new. I've never heard of 'Sophisti-Pop' before, but apparently it's a Jazz and Soul influenced pop genre. It kinda sounds like the 80s. The jazz is kinda in the background, while in the foreground we find calm, slightly dreamy vocals, backed by a very solid rhythm section. I wanna hear more!
EPs
Dimlite - My Human Wears Acedia Shreds can be heard on bandcamp. Kinda glitchy, hip hop-esque. Decent.
Hammock - Longest Year: well, here's some post rock for ya. Actually, it borders on ambient music; you can barely make out the guitars. Check Longest Year (youtube). I'm not a post-rock fan (not anymore, anyway), but this is worth checking out.
