Mass of the Fermenting Dregs – Some Japanese Shit

I have heard this called too many things
I've heard it called shoegaze, post-rock, metal, punk, dreampop, and alternative rock.
there are guitars so it is guitar music.
that's about all I am willing to explain about these guys other than their 09 album was better and they are all japanese

get some

Emancipator – Safe In The Steep Cliffs

Abra called this hip-hop earlier
I laughed in her face
down-tempo to the core, Emancipator has a warm homey feeling to him. the majority of his music feels too under-produced to be called instrumental hip-hop, and it's hard to call a guy with this many samples IDM or something like that. He's like 22, and he is a boss. I do recommend this.

The National - High Violet

deep voiced Matt Berninger rocks the baritone yet again. Seems like The National can't make a bad record. overall solid, and a worthy addition to their discography.

looowwwww

Dessa – A Badly Broken Code

actually found this lady because of an NPR article my mother was listening to
she wanted me to let her listen some more
my mother is a pimp
and Dessa, being female, is insane.
I am joking not all females are insane just most of them
she's a pretty conscious-rap rapper, and what Kiza identifies as "backpacker shit"
friend of P.O.S. (yeah right P.O.S.) and Doomtree member, Dessa seems to craft her lyrics from stone, into which they are set forever. I'm pretty sure she's happy with how she writes, and I'm happy with how it sounds.
everyone is happy but kiza
