<description><![CDATA[Growing up in the quiet English town of Devon, the three members of Muse dreamed of being in a rock band. At the tender age of 13, they did just that by forming (ahem) Gothic Plague. A few years and name changes later, the trio chose the name Muse and settled into their dramatic, Queen and Radiohead-inspired style of Brit rock. In 1997, they released a self-titled EP, followed by the <I>Muscle Museum</I> EP a year later. "Muscle Museum" was highly touted in the British press and the buzz over Muse was officially on. The trio signed to Madonna's Maverick Records after playing a music industry show and released <I>Showbiz</I> in 1999. <I>Origin of Symmetry</I> followed in 2001 and the band enjoyed some radio success. But they weren't able to break through in the U.S. until the release of 2003's <i>Absolution</i>, which made its way to the top of the <i>Billboard</i> Top Heatseekers chart. Their success continued to grow with the release of 2006's bombastic <i>Black Holes and Revelations</i> and the even more bombastic 2009's <i>The Resistance</i>, which captures Muse at their weirdest, grandest and most ambitious.

<description><![CDATA[There aren't many groups like Animal Collective. The only bands that spring to mind are the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. As with both of them heavy weights, Animal Collective is a profoundly avant-garde project that just so happens to make some of the most hummable jammers of the 21st century. They drawn inspiration from an absurd number of influences, including but not limited to Brit pop, experimental noise, vintage psychedelia, minimal techno, industrial, golden oldies, post-hardcore, dub and world music. Far more important, however, is how Animal Collective has synthesized all this good stuff into a phantasmagoric brand of tribal pop that's not at all pretentious or overly cerebral. In fact, it shimmers with a uranium-enriched sincerity best understood by nervous teens all strung-out on first loves, energy drinks and hormones. Of course, this is an aesthetic that's taken the band years to develop. Most ears will find early albums like <i>Here Comes the Indian</i> and the underrated <i>Danse Manatee</i> too extreme in their sonic freakery, but more recent works -- <i>Feels</i>, <i>Strawberry Jam</i>, <i>Merriweather Post Pavilion</i> -- will surely blow away those craving impeccably well-crafted indie rock.

<description><![CDATA[Seven years into their career, things changed monumentally in 1990 for Oklahoma City's the Flaming Lips with the release of their seminal <i>In a Priest Driven Ambulance.</i> Fusing only bits of their endearing, off-kilter indie rock into a sonically intense and more innovative fuzzcraft of mid-tempo songs and walls of neo-psychedelic guitar drone, <i>IPDA</i> offered up such memorable pop thunder as "Unconsciously Screamin'" "Rainin' Babies" and "Mountainside." Their songwriting having drastically improved, each completed song brought new, succinct arrangements and different chord progressions -- yet the album as a whole had an incredibly loud, distinctive sound. Subsequent albums like <i>Hit to Death in the Future Head</i> and <i>Transmissions from the Satellite Heart</i> began yet another chapter in the Lips' ever-transforming career, employing more selectively the relentless yet blissful bombast of <i>IPDA</i> into beautifully orchestrated, stripped-down mega-productions of pristine guitar twinkle and LSD-impaired Beach Boys harmonies. (<I>Transmissions</I> also spawned the Lips' big moment in the mainstream sun with the ubiquitous "She Don't Use Jelly.") Since the untimely departure of guitarist/noise enthusiast Ronald Jones, the Flaming Lips have resembled more a pop-deconstructionist science fair than a rock band, with drummer Steven Drozd and founder Wayne Coyne working as synched-up visionaries rather than contributing members of the same band. 1999's <i>The Soft Bulletin</i> found them again on the cusp of disciplinary mastery, incorporating their bent inclinations and atmospherics even more subtly into their strangely familiar and narcotic brand of pop, while donning character costumes on stage. Their next release, <i>Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots</i> followed the same path, albeit with even brighter production and a greater attention to detail. At its core, however, the record was a mediation on love, death and the assurance is life after almost unendurable psychic pain. On the Oklahoma City band's 2006 opus <i>At War With The Mystics</i>, spiritual leader and sonic ringmaster Coyne shows the sheer depth of his profundity when he casts his baleful eye outward, focusing his laser vision on current events; pointing a sharp stick at frothy pop icons, superficial thinkers, the abuse of power-both personal and political-and fanaticism wherever it shows up in culture. Their songs show that there's a lot more going on underneath those pink bunny suits than we ever imagined.

<description><![CDATA[Like that proverbial fat guy who gets nicknamed "Tiny," the band Of Montreal is,
naturally, neither from Montreal nor (at various times in its decade of existence) even exactly a band per se. After a failed romance with a woman from Montreal, in the late 1990s singer/guitarist Kevin Barnes found himself with a broken heart -- and a great name for a band -- so he "formed" Of Montreal, which at that point consisted only of Barnes. Embarking on a quest for other members, he moved to Florida, Cleveland and Minneapolis (but not Montreal) before returning to his native Athens, Ga., to collaborate with bassist Bryan Helium and drummer Derek Almstead on the band's Beatles-biting, neo-psychedelic debut <i>Cherry Peel</i>. Over the next ten years and as many incense-and-peppermint-fueled albums, Of Montreal vacillated between a band and a Barnes solo project as it weathered the dissolution of its label, Kindercore, and a near-revolving door lineup as band members left, came back and got married. In 2007, Of Montreal released <i>Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?</i> and in 2008, <i>Skeletal Lamping</i>.

<description><![CDATA[With a catalog full of atmospheric, sublime songs, the Church are that ray of warm sunlight that sneaks its way through the pea soup enshrouding a deserted beach in late autumn. Embodying the ideal synthesis of Post-Punk urgency, swirling psychedelia, and cloaked pop melodies, the quartet has been riding out peaks and valleys since the early 1980s, while never betraying their initial MO of creating dreamy, yet meticulous guitar pop. Early high points include "The Unguarded Moment" (their first hit single at home in Australia) and the epic "Is This Where You Live?" But while some point to their mid-1980s work as their finest, it's difficult to top the band's commercial steak-and-potato days of <i>Starfish</i> (1988) and <i>Gold Afternoon Fix</i> (1990). If the lilting "Under the Milky Way" didn't convince radio and MTV audiences of the band's reserved greatness, then "Metropolis" certainly did -- the song's repeated five-note guitar line and hazy, mandolin-accented outro are the most gorgeous moments of '90s alternative rock. That said, the '90s weren't so kind to the Church, as Arista dropped the band (at that point down to a duo) following the bloated opus <i>Sometime Anywhere</i> in 1994. Still, they re-formed into a full quartet later in the decade, ultimately releasing a number of albums, from jam sessions to moderate self-produced recordings. In 2009, nearly three decades after forming, the Church released the beautifully spacey <i>Untitled #23</i>, arguably one of their greatest albums to date.

<description><![CDATA[For all their experimental detours and garnish, Neutral Milk Hotel's songs display, at their core, great songwriting in the traditional sense, like the late-career Beatles and Beach Boys. Emotionally evocative melodies and lovely vocals move through songs with memorable grace. When listening to these songs, however, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Western instrument not represented in their elaborate, Lo-Fi orchestrations. A muffled trap kit, a singing saw, a desperate voice, an accordion, a squawking flugelhorn, and various electronics help compile an endless list of noise makers that play in the margins between a chaotic, "everybody come to our house and jam" sound and meticulous song construction. These disparate sounds are then brought together as if resounding off a basement's wood-panelled walls and soiled shag carpet, or echoing out of a converted-barn studio. Neutral Milk Hotel's sound is far from gleaming Los Angeleno production, but to polish away their oxidized patina would be to erase their immediacy and simple rustic beauty.

<description><![CDATA[Deerhunter messes with notions of '90s shoegazer and '00s post-punk (a la Yeah Yeah Yeahs) in equal amounts. Formed in Atlanta in 2001, the five piece released a pair of discs on Kranky and toured around the States. Their live show, which features the antics of extremely thin singer Bradford Cox, tends to polarize audiences, as evidenced by a string of angry and hilarious comments from audience members on the band's myspace page. Writes one such poster, "I've seen over 100 shows in my life and I've seen bad, believe me, but you guys take the cake." Regardless of whether or not the band's music is good or bad, at least it got under someone's skin. Their second full length, <i>Cryptograms</i>, alternates between blip-bleep weirdness, psychedelic noise pop and melodic love songs.

<description><![CDATA[English group originally formed in the late '80s as a faux late '60s Progressive Rock band, only to actually turn into the real thing. Steven Wilson is the man behind the music (as well as most of the instruments). A bombastic throwback to records by Yes and Marillion, with a pinch of spaced Brit rock (a la the Verve or Radiohead). Intelligent to be sure (with no trace of Tolkien or Roger Dean landscapes), Porcupine Tree bring a new level of music geekdom.

<description><![CDATA[The Brian Jonestown Massacre was formed in 1990 in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood and have since created work rooted in the many musical grounds of the mid- to late '60s, often grafted with British-inspired shoegazing and mantra drones. They've been through forty members and are notorious for fighting on stage and inciting riots in music halls. Much of their music is also influenced by drugs and mental illness -- the title of their '98 release is <i>Strung Out in Heaven</i>. Although their playing is saturated in '60s technique, they still manage to pull relevant sonics from their vintage gear. As the band's front man and songwriter, Anton A. Newcomb continues to write and record; his songs improve in arrangement, melody, production and overall sound quality. The 2004 award winning documentary <i>Dig!</i> brought the Brian Jonestown Massacre a much wider audience. The band's percussion player Joel Gion formed a similar sounding (but more pop based) band called the Dilettantes in 2005.

<description><![CDATA[It's kind of amazing how San Francisco's Devendra Banhart seemed to blow up overnight. But in the indie realm of popular music he had everything going for him. His 2002 debut of lo-fi four-track folk recordings, <I>Oh Me Oh My...</I>, was released to rave reviews -- garnering many a comparison to the likes of Donovan, Marc Bolan, Tiny Tim and even Bob Dylan. His next release was 2003's <I>The Black Babies,</I> an eight-song EP; but it was 2004's <I>Rejoicing In The Hands</I> where he really made a mark, leaving behind his stream-of-conscious-by-way-of-record-collection-osmosis style for more intelligent song arrangements, peppered with lush accompaniment from the San Francisco folk band Vetiver. He released another full-length entitled <I>Nino Rojo</I>. Then, when warble-voiced luminary Joanna Newsom's 2004 harp-plucked debut, <I>The Milk-Eyed Mender,</I> came out to a parade of accolades, the music media jumped on the fact that she and Banhart were friends and thus the indie genre of "freak folk" was coined. In 2005, Banhart and his electric ensemble, the Hairy Fairy Band, released <I>Cripple Crow</I>. Staunchly refusing to make the same album twice, Banhart beefed up the psych rock on 2007's <i>Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon</i>, and then signed to a major label for 2009's <i>What Will We Be</i>.

<description><![CDATA[Vetiver combine lush layers of acoustic strings and delicate vocals with a touch of carefree psychedelia. After moving to San Francisco from North Carolina, frontman Andy Cabic joined forces with singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart, violinist Jim Gaylord and cellist Alissa Anderson for Vetiver's self-titled debut, released in 2004. With guests including Joanna Newsom, Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval and former My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm O'Ciosoig, the album brought a warm balance between late '60s country rock, Americana and D.I.Y. minimalism that pleased the indie masses. Gathering more of Cabic's friends for Vetiver's sophomore album, <i>To Find Me Gone</i>, the group expanded and polished their sound with bigger beats and electric guitars. A follow-up came in 2008 with <i>Thing of the Past</i>, a collection of covers by singer-songwriters including Townes Van Zandt, Michael Hurley and Dave Brock, that revealed some of Cabic's favorite forgotten tracks from 1967-1973.

<description><![CDATA[Graduates from the University of Audio Alchemy, the Secret Machines create music that's just as mechanical as it's organic. Intricately arranged symphonies of distorted analog sounds soar upward alongside digital accoutrements before being blown apart by what sounds like fireworks. The Machines channel a myriad of influences, blending Pink Floyd's early space rock romanticism with Neu's static-happy electro drones, and Spiritualized's post-shoegazer tremolos with My Bloody Valentine's warbling walls of guitar effects. Singer Ben Curtis has a Flaming-Lips-by-way-of-Neil-Young style on some songs but seems most at home when accompanied by two-part vocal harmonies. Their music flirts heavily with various psychedelic styles, but you don't need to take mind-bending drugs to enjoy it.

<description><![CDATA[The Beta Band are a raggle-taggle group of Scots and Brits who stirred up loads of justifiable interest for their genre-bending pop experiments. While the band do incorporate a DJ, their sound is a mainly organic one that manages to tie together folk, hip-hop, and psychedelia into one cohesive headphone-friendly jam. What comes out of listening to the Beta Band is their obvious desire to make music and to not be pop stars. They don't seem to take themselves too seriously, titling records like <I>Los Amigos Del Beta Bandidos</I> while constantly referring to their work as "awful." One might be quick to assume that their shuffling, bass-heavy psychedelia was the work of drug-soaked pranksters, but the band has been quite adamant about the lack of contraband around them. Instead, until their dissolution in 2004, they continued to toss out the occasional brilliant song alongside steel drums, raps, spoken rambles, congas and general head nodding-ness for what is unwittingly some of the coolest Jam Rock in the world.

<description><![CDATA[Pristine psychedelia with loads of vintage guitar sounds, spare bass, and sweeping flange sounds. These warm and weathered guitars are so authentically vintage, you'll be dreaming of bell bottoms and old Vox tube amps.

<description><![CDATA[As the Waterboys gravitated closer and closer to introspective, seafaring folk music, keyboardist Karl Wallinger left to form World Party in 1985, an outlet for his pop-oriented ideas. Coming from a background soaked in psychedelia, Wallinger's music has always adhered to proper song structure and '60s ideals without being overtly hippie-ish. Hits like "Ship of Fools," "Way Down Now," and "Put the Message in the Box" show his knack for sublime melodies and explosive pop, which gets more refined with each release.

<description><![CDATA[Robyn Hitchcock's lengthy career has been marked by a myriad of highs and lows, veering close to a commercial breakthrough on several occasions: he was the subject of Jonathan Demme's 1998 film <I>Storefront Hitchcock</I>, and he and his band the Egyptians toured with R.E.M. back in 1989. However, this ever-enduring and always endearing singer-songwriter will most likely be remembered as an under-appreciated, oft-erratic, quirky and remarkably singular genius. Unlike admitted influence Syd Barrett, Hitchcock is always in perfect and absolute control of his craft, and can take whimsical, often lunatic subject matter and put it into easily accessible song structures, i.e., "Lost Madonna of the Wasps" from <I>Queen Elvis</I>. Conversely, he can go to wild extremes, abandoning conventional rock or pop music altogether. No pop psychologist, Hitchcock turns his wry, adroit, and absurdist lyrics inwards, revealing to his listeners his razor-sharp wit, reckless imagination, and beautiful poet's heart.

<description><![CDATA[In the wake of Galaxie 500's acrimonious breakup following their 1990 swansong <i>This Is Our Music</i>, Dean Wareham formed Luna to satiate his poppermost desires. As acting guitar hero extraordinaire for the Dream Pop crowd, Wareham's vision of weightless, guitar-based pop -- as complemented by jiggling rhythms and his own signature lyrical sarcasm -- came to beautiful fruition on Luna's 1992 debut <i>Lunapark</i>, which featured the driving "Anesthesia" and the elegiac "Goodbye." Subsequent Luna records throughout the 1990s reinforced the band's mastery of space-pop with a jarring rhythmic edge, the pinnacle of which was reached on 1995's glorious <i>Penthouse</i>. That album's best moments -- the smooth-as-fresh-pavement "Chinatown," the ringing guitar hook on "Sideshow By The Seashore," and the arrestingly dynamic "Freakin' And Peakin'" -- portray Luna at their apogee as a most forceful, yet elegantly graceful pop outfit. Four years later, they began covering Guns N' Roses songs on record, a development that usually spells the beginning of the end for any band.

<description><![CDATA[A play on Timothy Learyism, the Black Angel's mantra is "Turn On, Tune In, Drone Out." This is a fairly accurate dictum, given the Austin quintet's similarity to the darker works of the Lizard King matched with the stoned-out "woos" of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the lingering drones of Spacemen 3. Formed in Austin, Texas, the band released its debut album, <I>Passover</I>, in 2006. Filled with languid, dim and buzzing dirges, the disc is packed with morbid references to the Vietnam War and its similarities to the war in Iraq. Two years later, the Black Angels followed in the same drone-driven, war-weary vein with their second release, <I>Directions to See a Ghost</I>, another swirling mix of hypnotic fuzz, wavering reverb and vocalist Alex Maas' eerie resemblance to Jim Morrison.

<description><![CDATA[San Francisco's Jellyfish sounded like they'd been sequestered in a Haight Ashbury cellar surrounded by the paisley-smeared, tie-dyed artifacts of hippie days gone by. The band's unbridled optimism and carefree ways never attracted a wide following beyond the briefly popular "Baby's Coming Back" and "The King Is Half-Undressed." Looking back, Jellyfish's return to melodic folk and psychedelic pop seems prescient and powerfully influential, as they pre-dated a host of acts like the Gin Blossoms and Deep Blue Something who got busily rediscovering the Beatles in the mid-'90s. By then, Jellyfish had already disbanded (in 1994).

<description><![CDATA[I know the Flaming Lips. I've met the Flaming Lips. And you, sirs, are no Flaming Lips. But you get bonus points for ambition: Baroque creations featuring stacked guitars, sweet harmonies, several sections within each song and assorted odd noisemaking devices.

<description><![CDATA[In 2001, when Glenn Donaldson formed the Skygreen Leopards with fellow Bay Area denizen Donovan Quinn, the cofounder of the Jewelled Antler collective was already in a long list of projects: Thuja, Der Teenage Panzer Korps, the Ivytree (a.k.a. Birdtree), Franciscan Hobbies, the Blithe Sons and more. Yet Donaldson's insanely hectic schedule didn't stop the Leopards from dropping six albums and an EP over the next six years. On early records (2001's <i>I Dreamed She Rode on a Pink Gazelle & Other Dreams</i> for example) the duo improvised whimsical acoustic folk-pop -- think the Everly Brothers or Monkees filtered through early '90s indie rock, vintage psychedelia and nature-based mysticism. Around 2003, however, Donaldson and Quinn started composing actual tunes. They also assembled a backing band loosely modeled after legendary California rural rockers from the late '60s: Relatively Clean Rivers, Country Weather and, of course, <i>American Beauty</i>-era Grateful Dead. The appropriately named Skyband helped make 2006's <i>Disciples of California</i> a fusion of simple indie pop and country-tinged vibrations. In other words, it was better than anything by Beechwood Sparks.

<description><![CDATA[It seems like everything Hope Sandoval touches can turn to aural gold. Her project the Warm Inventions involves Colm O'Ciosoig from My Bloody Valentine as well as Bert Jansch from Pentangle. With The Warm Inventions, Sandoval sounds less influenced by Acoustic Blues artists like Memphis Minnie and Honky-Tonk crooners like the late Tammy Wynette. Her murmuring musings dip more into British Folk inspired backdrops and wistful moments that recall flashes of Claudine Longet (without a trace of the tired Parisian camp).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For years, British bands have been trying to successfully merge Techno beats with Indie Rock. Super Furry Animals may not have been the first to try this, but they were definitely one of the very few that made sense of this hybrid. That the synthesized additions aren't an up-front and obvious addition to their music might be one reason why SFA pull it off with such effortless style. But it might also be the chemistry of players and their diverse musical tastes -- this quirky quintet sing in their native Welsh tongue (and English, as well) and blend an always unpredictable slew of sounds (dependent on their ever changing moods) that contribute toward a personalized psychedelic pop collage. Besides big beats, they have been known to incorporate Steely Dan samples, Prog injections, Punk riffs, Calypso drums, and whatever else seems to contrastingly complement the strong songwriting.

<description><![CDATA[The Features formed in the small town of Sparta, Tennessee in 1996; by the following year, they had released their debut EP. The eponymous effort showcased the band's love for new wave and quirky pop. The departure of the band's second guitarist meant that retro keyboards like the Moog and the Hammond B-3 took on a greater role in filling out the band's sound -- and eventually went on to define it. A handful of U.K. releases followed before Fierce Panda released <I>The Beginning</I> in 2003. With a slightly amended track listing, <I>The Beginning</I> was released in the States by Universal in 2004.

<description><![CDATA[This Cosmic American Music/Twee Pop outfit comprises four Los Angelino scenesters who have also played in Further, Strictly Ballroom, Lilys, and the Tyde. In their early stages, Beachwood Sparks were a six-piece cofronted by ex-Further guitar virtuoso Josh Schwartz (who now plays in Fairechild with his wife Elisa Randazzo). At that time, the band leaned a bit harder on Classic Rock inspired riffs, melodic songwriting and unaffected, Beach Boys-inspired vocal harmonies. After two 7-inch singles (for Bomp! and Sub Pop), the band downsized to a quartet and drastically changed their sound. Although the new incarnation of the band sounds a bit lighter than the first lineup, Beachwood Sparks still manage to layer 1960s-inspired psychedelia with Cosmic American Music over a foundation of Twee Pop. Those who find solace on label rosters such as Sarah and Slumberland will be delighted by singer Chris Gunst's endearing kid-with-hay-fever vocals, but the real musical genius of Beachwood Sparks comes from "Farmer" Dave Scher. He juggles innovation on the lap steel guitar and grinding organ, while holding songs together with the glue of his buttery backing vocals. Beachwood Sparks' celestially transcendent songwriting almost guarantees that they'll be a formidable band for a long time to come.

<description><![CDATA[You can't swing a dead cat these days without hitting an Alt Country band that identifies Gram Parsons' California country as a key influence. Energized by the punk scene, the Long Ryders were paying homage to Cosmic American Music back when most of these new-fangled Alt Country bands were still grooving to Motley Crew. But a love of Parsons and the Byrds isn't all the Long Ryders had: they were a hard-hitting, rootsy rock 'n' roll band that bridged the gap between fellow L.A. bands such as Punk/Roots rockers Rank and File and the dreamier Rain Parade. Led by Parsons biographer Sid Griffin, you will find Long Ryders records filed under "Ahead of the Times." Definitely scoop them up, as their two best releases -- <I>10-5-60</i> and <i>Native Sons</I> -- are available on one reissue. The Long Ryders never excelled at poignant ballads, but they were one of the hardest rocking bands ever to hit the stage with banjo, mandolin, and steel guitar.

<description><![CDATA[Always on the coattails of (and suffering constant comparisons to) associates the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev have, in their own right, creatively produced cerebral, sometimes darkly atmospheric Indie Rock. Relying on orchestrations of guitars, clarinets, drums, and Jonathan Donohue's breathy, Dylan-inspired melodic rambling -- Mercury Rev stretch spatial arrangements into hyper-melodic, neo-psychedelic free-form.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The members of the Soundtrack of Our Lives have been putting out psychedelic powerhouse rock since the 1980s. While most of their Swedish brethren were counting down the minutes to the next Euro-pop countdown, Bjorn Olsson and Ebbot Lundberg were freaking out to Captain Beefheart and crossing over to the other side with the Stooges' <I>Funhouse</I> on repeat. As the '90s blossomed, the group dug into the more baroque, luscious pop sounds of the '60s and their music reflected this. Buoyed by some heavy praise from Noel Gallagher, TSOOL found themselves receiving all sorts of glowing accounts in the British press in the late '90s. This began to reach into further sections of the globe when their album, <I>Behind The Music</I> was released. The group excels at creating heavy, tuneful, psych-tinged rock epics but nothing ever reeks of a rehash. It's a little bit freedom rock, a little bit of doe-eyed mysticism; but mainly it's just rock n' roll.

<description><![CDATA[Resident heroes of L.A.'s fabled Paisley Underground, Rain Parade were an aural delight of lush, psychedelic atmospheres and brilliant songwriting. Brothers David (Opal/Mazzy Star) and Steven (Viva Saturn) Roback and Matt Piucci made Rickenbacker guitars creepy and beautiful, bleeding them of weeping, moody feedback and detuned, Middle Eastern melody. As if their phantom moans and slow, syrupy meters weren't brilliant enough on their own, Rain Parade's songs were impeccably written with kinetic, flowing, and tersely bittersweet melodies. Some of their finest moments are documented on the band's 1983 Restless debut <i>Emergency Third Rail Power Trip</i> and 1984 follow-up EP <i>Explosions in the Glass Palace</i>, which contains the beautiful, calmative yet upbeat gem "You Are My Friend," as well as the tearful, yearning "Broken Horse."

<description><![CDATA[Although they tour as a full band, the music produced by Dungen is the work
of one man -- the young Gustav Ejstes. In 2005, the label Subliminal Sounds
heard Ejstes' remarkably powerful, melodic take on hard psychedelia and
gave his meticulously composed debut album, <I>Ta Det Lungt</I>, a small round of distribution on the American shores. The result was a huge wave of press, completely oversold club shows, and major label interest -- all for an act that prides itself on conjuring up the days of gatefold album sleeves and incense with their riff-heavy rock and idyllic folk interludes. Let us pray that bare feet and afros aren't far behind.

<description><![CDATA[The Coral are a gang of Merseyside cowboys running roughshod over British pop, carelessly breaking musical boundaries and confounding expectations on a song-by-song basis. Confusingly they burst onto the scene with "I Still Need You," a song that suggested a Stax infatuation, with a video that recalled the glory days of Madness. An eponymous debut album reveals far stranger delights, though. James Skelly's vocals may recall Echo & The Bunnymen and even the La's, but it's the spirit of the Doors, Captain Beefheart and Merseybeat that rise up when the six-piece plays (except when they start with the sea shanties, of course). <I>Magic And Medicine</I> in 2004 showed them more determined than ever to fly high without a safety net.

<description><![CDATA[An immensely creative player, Belew can coax the oddest sounds from a guitar, making elephant roars and swooping whammy dives sound as natural as a fleet-fingered blues lick. His Stratocaster wails are an extension of Jimi Hendrix's playing, taking psychedelic freedom to the next level. As a studio musician Belew adds a personal voice, which becomes an integral part of a session, evidenced on recordings by King Crimson, David Bowie, the Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, Nine Inch Nails and many more. On his own albums, Belew started out quite experimental, eventually returning to his roots, writing poppy songs with a strong Beatles influence.

<description><![CDATA[Robyn Hitchcock got his start in the Soft Boys in 1976, at the onset of the Punk blowout -- not that they were really a part of it. It was more the aftershocks of Punk that allowed the Soft Boys to make their (then) minor waves. Hitchcock's absurd, Syd Barrett-esque images, folk strumming, and revved-up Power Pop still seemed an anomaly during the time of gob-smacking and pogo-ing, but "I Wanna Destroy You" had the right message, at least. <I>A Can of Bees</I> (1979) and <I>Underwater Moonlight</I> (1980) influenced a new wave of nonsense-slinging guitar psychedelia from R.E.M to Pavement.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ocean Colour Scene first made a blip on the pop radar screen in the early 1990s at the height of the Manchester boom. On the heels of some spotty studio sessions and production troubles, the band released a few singles and a debut record marked by wah-wah pedal excursions and Simon Fowler's notably soulful croon. Meanwhile, the band were releasing b-sides that gave early warning to the Mod angle they would play up on their ensuing releases. When the band reemerged in 1996, it was under the wings of a revitalized Paul Weller and then-heirs to the throne Oasis. By this time, guitarist Steve Cradock had begun playing with Weller, adding fluid guitar work to tracks on <I>Wild Wood</I> and thereby leanding instant credibility to Ocean Colour Scene's neo-dad-rock/Mod releases. Although their following is not as solid in the U.S, they've managed to attract hordes of die-hards and turn on thousands of kids to the joys of both Steve Winwood and Greek fisherman's caps.

<description><![CDATA[Gorky's Zygotic Mynci are one of the only non-derivative bands to publicly surface from a post-Trainspotting, Brit Pop world (although the band have been together since the mid-1980s). This Welsh outfit constantly challenge orthodox music structures as well as their own understanding of popular and obscure music. Their musicianship is flawless and constantly changing, as the band are not afraid to experiment and learn new tricks in the studio. Droney Moog tones, lazy brass blurts, steel slides, and soaring vocal harmonies seem to find way into the band's songs in one form or another. Musically, the band perform post-retro pop, Psychedelic matadorian laments, analogue orchestral folk songs, intergalactic space country, neo Prog jams, and many other hybrid styles that carry the band's own signature sound at the end of the day.
