The Egg
eedless to say, this stuff sounds a lot better when it's dirty and raw, and Shiner's six-string bloodletting beats the crap out of anything you'll hear on commercial FM these days. more at www.pitchforkmedia.com

The Mae Shi
Listener beware: If indie affectations such as tides of vocal harmonies, video game MIDI programming and Casio beats, concept albums, religious themes, or concept albums with religious themes give you ulcers, then HLLLYH might sent you running to your nearest message board to brag about how many songs it took you to erase it from your hard drive. more at www.pitchforkmedia.com

the shaky hands
The band lists its first two influences on MySpace as "weather, the Beatles," and such candid sensitivity is completely obvious in its music. more at www.pitchforkmedia.com

Shugo Tokumaru
With an affection for folk and acoustic and found instruments-- he reportedly has over 100 music makers in his bedroom, not counting toys-- he makes eclectic choices in the arrangements, but he never distracts you into inventorying them. more at www.pitchforkmedia.com

J. Tillman
Tillman continues to make virtues of slow and quiet, but here he finds new avenues to explore, using volume more liberally and enlarging his musical palette without losing the brooding, late-night post-buzz vibe. more at www.pitchforkmedia.com

Air Waves
This is an honest-to-god-album, with peaks and valleys, crests and chill-out sections more at www.pitchforkmedia.com

I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness belongs to a different genus of indie rock, one that I mentally file as S.I.R., or "Serious Indie Rock." Exemplified by bands like Interpol, Calla, and, to an extent, grandiose yet traditionally narrative post-rock outfits like Explosions in the Sky, this style of indie eschews irony, pop culture trawling, and genre hopscotch. It's reverent, recondite, and stylistically consistent. more at www.pitchforkmedia.com

Throw Me The Statue
Throw Me the Statue is the clunky pseudonym for Scott Reitherman, who plays almost every instrument on Moonbeams and even released it on his own label before signing with Secretly Canadian. He introduces opener "Young Sensualists" with a brief overture of bright synths, then fades into darker, droning chords for his tale of a beach-set love triangle. more at www.pitchforkmedia.com

Grand Archives
The band that pulls off what the Elected were supposed to, a mixture of hayseed indie, bashful singer-songwriter comedowns, and sunny, orchestral pop. more at www.pitchforkmedia.com
