If you don't have all of The Beat Bandalready, let this be the song that motivates you to download it. Perfect indie melodies through a tropical lens, groovy beats. Check this song out.
This is a photo taken by Eddie (Forest Clay) whose the third member of Totally Nebular last weekend down in Pompano Beach at a show where Tree Hopping and God Boat had a collaborative set, switching back and forth of playing each other's jams. Expect a sneak peak of God Boat's new album soon.
Fill Spectrum is an experimental project of a guy named Kevin from Jacksonville, Florida. I got the chance to see him perform with a friend as Fill Spectrum at the Laboratory last weekend for an Electronic Sub South/Action Research show. The performance was a hused ambience with subtle nature sounds drenched in wet delay, and reverby keyboard drones. Fill Spectrum's release An Open Entrance Into A Closed Palace is released on Cassette through Animal Image Search, which has also released the cassette version of Universal Studios Florida's Ocean Sunbirds as well as the vinyl release for Prince Rama's Architecture of Utopia.
Above is the performance from last weekend at the Laboratory.
An Open Entrace Into A Closed Palace is a little more textured and progressing than the live performance, with a lot of different tranisitions and tasteful sounds. Make sure to download it and get it on cassette if you're really feeling it.

Label mates to our buds Viernes, Surfer Blood, and Blind Man's Colour, BRAIDS is a really cool melodic experimental band from Montreal, Canada.
"Lemonade" is from their full-length album Native Speaker dropping on Kanine Records January 18th, 2011 and "She Brave Soul" is from their self-released Set Pieces EP.
Rainbo Video is the experimental/visual project of Arturo Evening from Chicago, Illinois. He has several vi made by Arturo himself. Cold, yet eclectic ambient drones. Super calming flowly stuff, I love it. And not just a bedroom project; it's my understanding he brings Rainbo Video live with projected visuals and electronic soundscapes. We'll be catching the experience in February on a Hear Hums/Oh Fortuna tour with a show in Chicago.
Floating Colors is the experimental trio from Richmond, Virgina. Making textured sound scapes about astral projection, space, and time. Their live set looks really engaging, I'm glad I'll be checking it out first hand in February when we play with them live in Richmond on a Hear Hums/Oh Fortuna tour.
Samo Milagro just came out on cassette by Leaving Records. It's one of my favorite albums already. So flowy, textury, and just forward thinking. I like the way Judson makes music. Check out a new track "Wind Stone" and go over the Leaving Record's website to order it on tape.
