Bear in Heaven

I got to know about bear in heaven from a pro spotlight video that transworld, adidas, and lucas puig put together recently. The song featured in the video was "Lovesick Teenagers," the song caught my attention from the beginning and is till stuck in head. The album featuring the song is "Beast Rest Forth Mouth." Their sound reminds me of bands like animal collective. The album is pretty cohesive yet varied in its sounds and tempos; a couple of songs have samba inspired percussion, and others have pretty a drony tempo, but the feeling is pretty hazy and mellow the whole way through. I would say that this album grows on you, but "Lovesick Teenagers" is an instant hit, and worth getting the album for.

Beast Rest Forth Mouth

Caribou

Caribou is an electronic/experimental Canadian act, I got turned on to it because "Odessa", the first track on this album was featured in a video Adidas Skateboarding recently put of a Greek tour with a tight line up of skaters (check the vid below). The album, although i have not listened to it too much seems pretty tasteful, varied, and cohesive. Odessa is still my favorite track, and worth getting the album for.

Nite Jewel

Ramona Goinzales' masterpice. She recorded this album using 8-tracks and analog keyboards, giving the sound a dark and hazy 80's feeling.

Good Evening

Beach Fossils

Self titled album by New York band , Beach Fossils, their sound is pretty retro, spacey, and surf rock like. I got into them because they have some catchy tracks featured on the new Habitat Skateboards video "Origins". The album is pretty consistent, a little too much if you ask me, but the opening track, "Daydream" was enough for me to check out this album.

Panda Bear

Panda Bear is the founding member of Animal Collective, This Panda Bear release is great, "Slow Motion" is an amazing song and it is the only one i really listen to off this two song ep. The sound is spacey and hip hopish, but over everything tasteful.

Mixtapes & Cellmates is a shoegaze/indie pop band from Stockholm, Sweden. They have been compared to The Radio Dept.

This is a compilation of ep's by M&C; very low-fi and and easy to listen to. I really like the voice effects and the overall feeling of the early recordings by this band.
