I'm not sure what to think of this album yet. I love Maps & Atlases but this album is much different than what I was expecting. Previous albums by them consisted of crazy ass tapping riffs, insane drumming and percussion rhythms, with a hint of xylophone every now and then. This album, however, is a bit simpler and has a much "bigger" recording sound to it. Which is cool, dont get me wrong, but dont listen to this album expecting to hear anything like their previous work. Still worth giving a listen, so do what you came here to do...

Acoustic Ladyland - Skinny Grin
This album is the most insane Jazz album I'ver heard. Scratch that. Its the most insane album by any band I've heard. I felt like I got slapped in the face at :50 on the albums first song "Road to Bones" As insane as the A.L.s songs are, they're actually very well orchestrated and groove hard.
The Sea Shaper - Terraformer
Some tuff ass rhythms up in this album. Also some beautifully dreamy riffs. I'm not sure how to describe this band but if you like bands such as Don Caballero, Animals As Leaders, Mastodon(minus the vocals), then you will enjoy the Sea Shaper.
Three Trapped Tigers - E.P.3
I haven't listened to this album yet but based off their first EP I'm going to go ahead and assume this 3rd EP is amazing as well.
Three Trapped Tigers E.P.1
From Last.fm: "Three Trapped Tigers are an instrumental noisenik outfit from London who exhibit the precision of electronica, the raw intensity of rock music and the schizophrenic spontaneity of their electro-improv past. Not easily classifiable, but with influences ranging from Aphex Twin and Squarepusher to Lightning Bolt and Battles. The music veers wildly from noisy guitars to contemplative synths, frantic beats to ambient noise." Basically, this band is amazing. You would be a fool to not listen to this masterpiece & enjoy it.
