Collection of various hipsters doing singer songwriter acoustic folky ballad heavy pieces but a few are more Beck’ish with strange effects, drums and fuzzy guits (good stuff). People like Calvin Johnson and the Microphones are involved. Definitely a pacific northwest sort of thing. Some good stuff, some really bad stuff too.
1) Karl Blau: super trippy effects to this minimal pop song, upbeat
2) The Gift Machine: distinct Beck feel, more cool treatments
3) The Crabs: girl singer songwriter folky pop
4) The Microphones: sounds like calvin Johnson on back ups in there, slow moody with brushed drums, mildly tawny
5) Glen Des Jardins: like wendy carlos playing twinkle twinkle little star on 6 moogs
6) Sandman: solo guy singing w/ acous guit strummed
7) Jacob Navarro: a couple of acous guits, with guy singing, folky
8) The Blow: minimal electro stuff and treatments, casio beat, female understated vocals, the very first electroclash folk song ever!
9) Brian Malloy: acoustic pseudo country spoof, almost funny w/ sound effect clichés but mostly barf in that “gee isn’t funny to pretend to be white trash” sorta way
10) Talking About Flying: kinda strange reverby minimal pop, just two low tuned acoustic guits and vocs, interesting delivery
11) The Stubborn Deaf: synth pop instrumental w/ real sounding drums and found sound layers, cool
12) Little Wings: pleasant semi low fi solo acoustic/male voc ditty
13) Laura Veirs and Danny Barnes: upbeat bluegrass
14) Dennis Driscoll: cutesy low fi harmonized vocs w/ toy instruments
15) Nate Ashley: cute upbeat sorta late 60’s with recorder/flute
16) The Skinless Antidragons: lots of reverb, low fi recording, beat, plus acous guits and dreamy vocs give this a sorta psyche feel
17) Calvin Johnson: deep voice as usual with a few plucked notes
18) Button Happy: cute pop w/ girlie vocs, full band restrained
19) Adam Clayton Forkner: annoying a capela then stereo plunking on a piano
20) Darrin Mathies: hillbilly music feel w/ strange effects and layered vocs
21) D+: painful guy and guit, turns
