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.

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.

My Disco

My Disco is a post punk band from Melbourne, Australia. I found out about them because they have a split with my favorite band Off Minor. I've read a description that called them " disarmingly contagious."

Patterns

Pattern's new grooves are on point, it took me a couple of listens for this album to grow on me, but i love it now.
