Cyrus Fell Down - "NS2" - Sound Off! 2009

Cyrus Fell Down - Discography

The best bass playing you will probably ever hear. The singer/guitarist left the group a while back & currently the band is recording a new e.p. with two new members. Hopefully, they dont muck it up. Enjoy these classics for now bitches.
Damn Dude, Damn 

Electric Sunset - S/T

New project by Nic Zwart, former guitarist/singer of Desolation Wilderness. I just discovered this gem a couple hours ago & I'm already loving it. Every song is beautifully crafted with echoed guitar patterns, low bass that feels like its being played under water, and soft, reassuring vocals that make you feel all warm & fuzzy inside. Every song is like a warm hug. If you feel like chilling/spacing out, this album is the perfect fit.

Pegasus Dream - Painting Pantheons

Pegasus Dream is an Electronic/Psychedelic/Indie band based out of Portland, OR. Unlike most Portland bands, Pegasus Dream incorporates no folk what so ever in their music. Instead, they combine every element of my favorite bands such as Animal Collective, Ratatat, Flaming Lips, Menomena and many many more. This is an amazing album made by three amazing musicians. Keep an eye out for these guys because I think they're going to get huge within the next few years. You can download their album for free through their bandcamp website, however, I ask of you to please donate a little bit of money for the album. Trust me, its worth it.

Loss Of A Child - Carry Me Home

This is the latest album(that I know of)by Loss Of A Child and I must say that I am looking forward to their future releases which, hopefully, should be soon. Beautiful songs with odd time signature changes & often times they do this so effortlessly that you dont even realize they changed to an odd time. My favorite instrumental album thus far.

Forest Swords - Dagger Paths

Amazing album. Songs have a very eerie, yet melodic, feel to them. This is probably the last album I'd ever want to hear if I got lost in the woods on a foggy night. Otherwise, its an excellent listen.

VHS Head - Trademark Ribbons of Gold

You will either enjoy the hell out of this album or find it to be annoying. Listen to it & see where you stand.

Soft Skills - $$$

A friend of mine introduced this band to me. Their album has a dreamy-synth-mellow-pop sound to it. I'm not feeling very descriptive today so just give it a listen.
Similar Artists: Houses, Electric President, The Prize Fighter Inferno

Museum - Exit Wounds/Old Fire Hands E.P.

I know not much of this Museum band except that they're from Germany & have an interesting sound to their music. I like the 2 E.P.'s they've put out & I'm sure you will too.
In case that link doesnt work try this one:

Electric Light Orchesta(E.L.O.) - Out of the Blue

If you don't know who E.L.O is then I feel bad for you, son. I'm sure you've heard "Turn To Stone" or "Mr. Blue Sky" some time in your life. If you don't like those songs then nuts to you... How can you not at least like "Mr. Blue Sky"? Its so well orchestrated & catchy. Shame on you if you don't! SHAME! You should still check this album out though because the other songs that weren't singles are really good too.

Mutyumu- ilya

Now that I have your attention, let me tell you a little bit about Mutyumu. Hailing from Japan, they're one of those rare bands that pulls off orchestra/metal really well. The music is just so incredibly epic & the female singer has the most beautiful opera sounding vocals. If you're a fan of Worlds End Girlfriend, Mouse on the Keys, or Maudlin of the Well, then you're going to love this album,
