Fresh Biscuit: Micachu and the Shapes

One of my favorite experiences is when I hear good new music that is unlike anything else I have ever heard. This artist Micachu put out the most dissonant, arrhythmic, and erratic album of the year, 'Jewellery,' and its insanely pleasurable. Give these songs 'Vulture' and 'Calculator' a try. If its not jiving yet, give it three more tries. Or Twenty. Hint: there may be an upcoming Doggie Treat article.

'Vulture'

'Calculator'

Fresh Biscuit: Passion Pit

This band, Passion Pit, has been totally rocking the blogocircle or whatever you call it lately. Their brand of uptempo-electro-pop would be just what I need to start the day if I had a job, but is still pretty good anyway. Check these songs/video out, get 'Manners' May 19th.

'The Reeling'

'Sleepyhead' (from last year)

Fresh Biscuit: Ponytail

So this band Ponytail is master of the 7 minute freakout. I haven't listened to them much, but after this I am going to start. This song 'Celebrate the Body Electric (it Came from an Angel) is like a manic-depressive-manic episode, and the video is better. My favorite part is with the lights where they go smashy-unsmash, smashy-unsmash. They are Ponytail, check them out.

Fresh Biscuit: Animal Collective

Guess who played David Letterman last night. A little group called Animal Collective, who are great if you are into extremely repetitive electro-hooks mixed with absurd lyrics and lots of yelps. Doesn't sound good? Well check this video out, these guys can really mash buttons/program machines:

Animal Collective - 'Summertime Clothes'

This group also released the best song of the year earlier in January. I HIGHLY recommend getting their album 'Merriweather Post Pavilion.'

'My Girls'

Fresh Biscuit: Pterodactyl

It's just barely morning anymore, but this song is aural coffee to me.  Yes, that is different from oral coffee.  Pterodactyl combines a strobing, high pitched guitar, shrill, nasally vocals, and drums that don't quite belong to create a decent song in 'December.'  I recommend checking out this video/mp3 below along with their album 'Worldwild.'  WARNING: anybody with a history of epilepsy will want to avoid the video.
