2011, Overlooked & Unknown (Volume I)
1Idiot Glee
Paddywhack


(Indie Pop) The sounds of rotting teenage dance hall and slow-motion Super 8
films
2Night Beats
Night Beats


(Vintage Garage Rock) Vibrant, rough, and mind-altering psychedelia. Likely the
best garage rock you'll hear all year
3Zac Nelson
The Same Hypnotic Point


(Kaledioscopic Ambient) Think early Animal Collective; found instrument going
wild over calming ambient noise
4Zac Nelson
Wicked Work It Out


(Indie Pop) Playful and serene Indie Pop, with a dash of experimentalism
5Soft Metals
Soft Metals


(Italo Synth-Pop) Bleak retro-futuristic ominousness
6Ford & Lopatin
Channel Pressure


(Synth-Pop) Layered synth-pop that glows a neon-coated wave of 80s
nostalgia
7Sun Araw
Ancient Romans

deserts
8Mist
House


(Cosmiche / Synthwave) Early Tangerine Dream and Emeralds had a bastard
child
9State Champion
Deep Shit


(Alt-Country) State Champion claim to be a "garage country" band; that about
sums up Deep Shit
10 Moonface
Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped


(Indie Rock) Strung out Indie Rock on bleeping organs; reminiscent of early
Kraftwerk
11Comet Gain
Howl Of The Lonely Crowd


(Indie Rock) These guys have been around since the early 90s, and have
remained relatively uknown throughout their career, which is a shame since
they've been remarkably consistent throughout. Their latest is no exception
12William Elliott Whitmore
Field Songs


(Americana / Singer-Songwriter) Good ol' classic sounding americana. Just a
man and his guitar, singing his heart out through the fields of yesteryear
13The Caretaker
An Empty Bliss Beyond This World


(Dark Ambient / Ballroom) Film: The Shining // Scene: Jack Torrance enters The
Gold Room. One of the most haunting releases I've had the pleasure of hearing

stereotypical father) featuring Tim Heidecker (of Tim And Eric's Awesome Show,

the volume, and pop in this magnificent soundtrack to the glory days of 8-bit
gaming
17Zombi
Escape Velocity


(Progressive) A consistently great throwback to the likes of early Tangerine Dream
and Klaus Schulze
18Peter Evans Quintet
Ghosts

stir the pot. If there's one Jazz album your willing to give a try this year, I encourage it
be Ghosts
19Implodes
Black Earth


(Shoegaze / Ambient) A melting pot of shoegaze, psychedelia, drone, and ambient
20Vladislav Delay Quartet
Vladislav Delay Quartet


(Avant-Garde Jazz / Experimental) Abbrasive electro-acoustic improvisations

guitar build-ups and soothing instruments

tuned shoegaze

make for an echoingly misty set of electro-acoustic improv
31A Hawk And A Hacksaw
