Nice pick. This and "Silva & Grimes" are my favorites off the new album.

Love it. I've been listening to the Pitchfork 500 through just to hear some random music (and to find cool new stuff) and "Pacific State" is one of my favorites so far. Definitely need to check more of their stuff out. Not sure which album to start with though.

Yeah - 808 State is awesome. Some of the only original acid house/rave music to have aged well.

I'd just check out their first 2 or 3 major releases:

Ninety
Utd. State 90

Have you heard Shout Out Outt Out Out? They're kind like Holy F*ck, but more hipstery.

One Touch - LCD Soundsystem

This Is Happening is kind of awesome.

The Roots of Orchis - Waxing

[D_Davis]

Remember Woob, from the EM:t comps?

New album now on Bandcamp. Good stuff.

[Russ]

Aw, man, I love me some Woob. Thanks for the news.

Aw, man, I love me some Woob. Thanks for the news.

Thought you'd appreciate it.

I have a big soft spot in my heart for any album that sounds like it was played entirely on toy instruments.

Another awesome find, Davis.

[Milky Joe]

Oh, man.

[Ivan Drago]

Baptism - Crystal Castles

me too. There whole catalog is pretty sweet. I like the term "pajama pop".

[D_Davis]

As to how I find this stuff....

I spend a lot of time on Bandcamp and just searching netlabels. On Bandcamp, I'll click a tag like 'minimal' or 'ambient' or whatever, and just start exploring the different bands. I have a list of about 30 netlabels I monitor as well.

Broken Bells - Broken Bells

I'm glad I finally got around to this: it's worth a few listens.

[D_Davis]

Nono - No Crying



Acoustic-based, shoegazer stuff. So pretty. Reminds me of later-period Flying Saucer Attack, or Alt-Ctrl-Sleep. Definitely worth a listen. Streams for free, or you can purchase.

I'm always surprised by how overlooked the Beach Boys stuff from the late '60s and early '70s is. Friends, 20/20, Sunflower, and Surf's Up are all amazing albums. This period proved to be one marked by mature craftsmanship and a more serious tone.

[D_Davis]

This song...so good.
