It is just too hard to try and pay close attention to the lyrics while listening to it at work. It brings to mind The Decemberists or even the Fleet Foxes while l am listening to it. Will need to lock myself in a room with the headphones on in order to pay attention to the lyrics though.

I'm glad you tried it out, it definitely gets better on second listen, hopefully you'll find the lyrics an integral part.

In honor of your 15000th post I am listening to Uniform Motion. It really isn't to my musical tastes, but it has some good parts. It is kind of quiet and slow for my tastes, but when it picks up the pace a bit it is enjoyable. I wasn't paying close enough attention to the lyrics to see what effect they had on me so I didn't really hear the story relating to what they wrote on their bandcamp page. Hopefully next time I'll be able to pay closer attention.

^ Good to hear, glad you found it.
(It'd be much easier to find if it were actually in the blog section..."I've shared Entertainment for the Braindead on this blog before but I don't believe I showed her other project, the instrumental and very haunting The Smallest Bones.   The album is a much more ambient effort and less song-based than EtfB but Julia's voice creates some truly ethereal sound effects reminiscent of the previously mentioned Grouper and the not-yet-mentioned Julianna Barwick. Voice + acoustic guitar + computer really equals some amazing things in this project and it is to be missed. The song titles reflect some pretty everyday activities that I know I have experienced so the album has a truly emotional effect on me. See if it does you as well.  http://thesmallestbones.bandcamp.com/ |

Just went to the bandcamp site. The story sounds interesting. I'll give it a listen and let you know what I think. Thanks.

 It really struck me as kind of dense even though it's just a sort of indie folk. |

I forgot to mention that I've been listening to this album since last night, and I'm giving it some time to sink in :D

Not even halfway through the week and I've got something to share.
  This free little gem is a Class-A effort from a band I haven't been following too long but have always been pretty good. This album is much more than pretty good, it's brilliant. A light and soft folk with darker overtones surrounding it to create a truly lush album. Every song on One Frame Per Second is heartfelt and is an overall classy record. It's free (as well as their other albums) on bandcamp so check them out: http://uniformmotion.bandcamp.com/releases |

Many artists have a hard time being prolific as well as great, this is certainly not the case with 6LA8 who just released their fourth album in just this year, a collaboration with a past member Rakas.
 I won't go into a ton of detail, but I can tell you this is right up there with In the Land of Dreams which was one of my favorite albums from this year. This album will perhaps appeal to the more mainstream listener while the experimental listener will find plenty to love. My full review is on the band's homepage: http://www.6la8.com/ and the links for downloads are there as well. Here is 6LA8's PA page: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=6598 Seriously everyone, this is not a band to miss.

Many prog fans shrink away at the sound of lo-fi with very little production but Guided By Voices is a band who can have very little production but sound oh-so sophisticated while doing it. I'm a member of the GBV cult and while they have very little exposure here, I feel that many prog fans will enjoy them.
In order for this to happen, here's a free live release they put out called Last of the No-Hit Wonders, it's a great, raw live piece that is a good example of how sophisticatedly unsophisticated they are.  Basically what's here is all of their hits and then some served in a lo-fi concert environment. It's by no means the great Bee Thousand but it's certainly a cheap introduction.  Here's the link: http://gbvdb.com/album.asp?albumid=1263 |

Not a free release this time, (sorry ya cheapskates
 ) but still worth noting is the album I have for you guys this week. Liz Harris aka Grouper released Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill three years ago but it has just recently graced my ears, and let me tell you, I'm blown away. Acoustic ambiance always has a way of getting to me and this is no exception, beautiful vocals treated in such a manner that they are truly heavenly while still having a bit of darkness in their nature. A startling contradiction that really makes the album beautiful.  Album streams and can also be purchased at the labels site here: http://typerecords.com/releases/dragging-a-dead-deer-up-a-hill |

Post-rock/Nu-jazz? This sounds right up my alley.
