To keep this as a sort of relevant new release thread, I'm only gonna post stuff that's been released since June of this year, and eventually try to keep it within a month of the post. Here's some more random awesome summer goodness:
Birds of Avalon - Uncanny Valley
They got the name wrong, it's actually All Your Downtime Is Up. This music relies heavily on 70's psychedelic rock, but pushes that music to the experimental level. Sort of seems to borrow from new wave to me, I dunno that could just be me. I think this could be considered progressive rock at times too, though I'm not a big prog fan and am not entirely sure.
The Most Serene Republic - ...And the Ever Expanding Universe
Hopefully this video is them playing, I'm listening to an album and can't be bothered to pause it to check. The song should be The Old Forever New Things. This album was good, it gets busy because they have a bunch of people, I think 7, in their band. But it ends up sounding kind of like a classical composition with a bit of indie rock dashed in, which turns out to be a really cool mix if you ask me. Not the best thing I've heard lately, but it's up there.
Science Fiction Corporation - Science Fiction Dance Party: Dance With Action
Don't think there's a video out there for this one. I love this album, it's actually from a very long time ago but just got reissued this summer so it's new to me. It's a lot of fun to listen to, I think the best way that I can describe it is to suggest 60's cartoons (like Scooby Doo) music done psychedelically with B-movie samples. It's really groovy music, if it were a new release it would be one of my favorite albums of the year for sure. It's hard to stop it once you start playing it.
