Very, very richly packaged compilation of new bands somehow associated with United Bamboo (yes, the NYC fashion line!). Comes with a mini-hardcover book with 34-pages of full-color artwork supplied by the featured artists. Which are?Samara Lubelski (her songs are homage to the '60s with intricate instrumental arrangements and a gentle, sensual voice); Benji Cossa (comical and ultra positive pop songs); Gang Gang Dance (a true mystic quality that you can hear in their music, as it twists and turns into different dimensions of Ethiopian style guitar melodies, gypsy style vocals, and UK Garage-influenced beats); Black Dice; White Magic (eclectic mix of '60s guitars plus Mira Billotte's Billie Holiday-like voice); Animal Collective, Blood On The Wall; Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom (new recording artists on DFA Records, homemade Moog style keyboards are used to make this magical space age music); Angel Blood (their magical sound is forged from a mixture of Norwegian black metal, Hungarian folk music, and American speed metal); U W Owl (they prefer to manipulate modern electronic equipment to make for mysterious and spacious soundscapes); Turrestrial Tones (members of Black Dice and Animal Collective); Jane (a two-piece group, interested in subtle movement in sounds more than drama); Coptic Light (sounds like Magma on a roller coaster); HSDOM (heavy deep beats, dark soundscapes with subtle movements); Tes (Lex Records); Excepter (members of No Neck Blues Band). You gotta love that lineup.
