Tame Impala "Solitude Is Bliss" (2010)

Extremely listenable, modern psychedlia from this Australian four-piece. I came across this at the excellent We Are Involved music blog.

V.A.S.T. "Touched" and "Flames" (1998)

VAST stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theatre, an Austin based collaborative led by multi-instrumentalist Jon Crosby, who came onto the scene in 1998 with a highly regarded debut. Two standout tracks are featured here. The former got some play on modern rock radio, while the latter, with it's haunting violin, is as dark as a love song can get.





Ra Ra Riot "Boy" (2010)

A recent indie rock hit from this Syracuse NY band, who have created a lot of buzz with their great live performances.
