Somber folk from Portland ME band Big Blood. This band keeps cranking out great album after great album. Thirteen releases since 2009, and the albums stay on the cutting edge. My favorite song is the dirge "Out of Turn". This song exemplifies all that is good with Big Blood music, a bit of a plodding beat, some experimental guitar sounds and beautifully haunted sounding vocals. Thanks to Big Blood for the download!
Instrumental post rock from Sweden's Oh Hiroshima. Thanks to Oh Hiroshima for the download! Oh Hiroshima - Resistance Is Futileis a free download on lastfm.
Outsider folk from Maine's THORN & SHOUT. I love blue-grass based music with the Gypsy influence as THORN & SHOUT play. The male/female distinctive vocals are really set this album apart from it's contemporaries. Instruments featured on this album are guitar, banjo, viola, shruti box, bells, harmonica and banjolin. The waltz timed "All Things Magical" is my favorite song on a really strong album. Add THORN & SHOUT to the long list of great musical acts from Maine. Thanks to THORN & SHOUT and Birthquake Records for the download.

Gloomy lo-fi noise pop from Maryland,s teen suicide. The controlled shout singing in "give me back to the sky" is surprisingly melodic. Cool unconventional songs. Thanks to teen suicide for the download!
Indie, pop rock from South Carolina's Coma Cinema. I really enjoy "Hell" a lot. I like that there's no wasted movement in these songs. Short and sweet and slightly offbeat.

Off kilter and percussive indie pop from Holland's The Conduits. They had never met and have created this music through internet interactions alone. These are very catchy songs. You have to check out their cover of Journey's "Lights". Thanks to Conduits for the very interesting download!
Experimental electronic pop from Philly's dusthoney. "Betelgeuse" is my favorite on her. On this album the sound runs the gambit from 8 bit electronic to super slowed down somber pop. This is one of 4 full length albums she has released this year, one of which will be on my year end list. Thanks to dusthoney for the download!
