It looks like I missed this one when it came out this summer.  You will love.  22 year old kids, so the up-side is huge on these bros.

OBSERVER DRIFT - CORRIDORS

This is a nice sleeper hit that I picked up at MARRY ME TO THE SKY (f/k/a Sun Was High) and it is kicking my ass with strong vibes.  Think Washed Out x Memory Tapes x minimalization, with a better voice.  Limited to 250 copies on vinyl, I think this is going to be on everyone's Christ Mass list.

This is my first full length/self released album. I wrote all these songs in a period of about 8 months. I recorded/produced all these songs on my own at home. So while you listen to it, pretend like you're hanging out with a punk friend of yours from high school, listening to the album in his messy room, because thats exactly where the album was created. I like to think that each song is unique and displays a different side of my personality. I hope that when anyone listens to this album they experience a sense of adventure and nostalgia, or something like that. The lyrics in this album are heavily based on 3 main things: Dreams that i've had, Important people, and memories of my very young childhood (more specifically, memories that I am able to relive through watching home videos and flipping through old photo books) If you are able to connect with even just one song from this project, that would be just swell, my friend.

THE HAARP MACHINE - DISCLOSURE

I can't help but post any band with a name like 'The HAARP Machine' (see weather modification) or with songs titles like: Esoteric Agenda, Lower the Populace, and From Vanity to Utility.  This is a reward for all the loyal followers who want to see more metal on TONS MORE COWBELL.
