Manitoba – Up In Flames (2003)

Manitoba was the name of Dan Snaith’s one-man band, before he changed it to Caribou because some guy named Handsome Dick Manitoba threatened to sue him. If you like the Caribou albums you wont have trouble getting into this one, since the style is pretty much identical: Bright, happy pop songs, heavy on the electronics, with lots of harmonies and crazy drumming.

Wavves – Wavvves (2009)

In an effort to compete for hits with my rival over at littlevibrations.blogspot.com, I’m going to start posting everything that Pitchfork rates 8.0 or higher. So here’s the new Wavves album, entitled Wavvves. I like it. If you can get through all the fuzzy muck you’ll find some well-crafted pop tunes, unique guitar playing, and groovy Motown-inspired drumming.

Panda Bear – Young Prayer (2004)

Written and recorded while his dad was dying, Panda Bear’s second album is a quiet and meditative affair. For the most part it’s just voice and acoustic guitar, and with a few exceptions the songs all seem to be built around similar melodic themes, making it hard to tell them apart. But there’s plenty of understated beauty in these tracks, and taken as a whole the album makes for a very relaxing and uplifting listening experience.

Cocteau Twins – The Pink Opaque (1985)


A compliation of early singles, rarities and some remixes. The second track (Millimillenary) is particularly good, and as far as I know doesn’t exist anywhere else.
