Hundred Waters

Hundred Waters is a five-piece experimental indie band from Gainsville, Florida. With inspiration coming from a wide range of genres from all over the world, the group creates a sound that is best described as art rock - an intricate weaving of vocal harmonies, keys and synths, drums, and flute and horn improvisation. In August 2012, this multi-instrumental group was the first indie act signed to Skrillex's OSWLA label.



The music video created for their song thistle is an incredible stop motion video produced by Martin Allais.


These studio sessions are as aesthetically pleasing visually as they are musically:

Micachu and the Shapes

Experimental act out of the UK headed by classically trained multi-instrumentalist Mica Levi or "Micachu". Together, Micachu and the Shapes create a particularly unconventional (grimey pop) sound which is the result of some homemade instruments and a wealth of creativity behind them.

The bands most recent album NEVER was released this past July. The band released a video for each song on the album, which you can find at the bands site (the coolest band site i've ever seen) here.

Deep Time

The framework of human existence has not heard a  sound quite like this experimental pop duo from Austin.

Deep Time is the creative production and ever changing personality of singer, guitarist, and organist Jennifer Moore and drummer Adam Jones. Their most recent self-titled album came out this past July on Hardly Art out of Seattle. Every song on the album offers a similarly mesmerizing beat that is almost annoyingly catchy but undeniably delightful.

Tanlines

Tanlines is an experimental indie pop duo out of Brooklyn, NY. Their first full length album Mixed Emotions was released on March 20, 2012. If you like dancing to feel good melodies this is the band for you.


The band's single Brothers is sweet and airy just the way Spring is supposed to feel:

Also, a single from a while back that still gets me like the first time:
