Alaska in Winter: "Dance Party in the Balkans" ('07)

Here's an odd album that's very hard for me to pin down, but I loved the relaxing, lo-fi winter-electronica roll of every track.

The final track features Beirut in a quirky and upbeat change of pace, that somehow still caries the rest of the album's wintry feel mixed among Zach Condon's folk instrumentals and vocal style.

All Night Radio: "Spirit Stereo Frequency" ('04)

A psychedelic dream-pop ride through the shimmering waves of beach music.

A concept album that's best listened to in a singular sitting, oddly enough covers enough lush sounds and styles within the form of their whimsical, spacey flow. The eclectic joining of several referential styles of pop music into separate tracks serves the feel well. Though I'd argue the first track, Daylight Til Dawn, is easily the most entertaining of the album, the rest sways and treks along into more and more sounds, all feeling uniform and united by the singular concept. The track that's easily the strangest amongst the lot is Oh, When?, which feels like a random Pink Floyd track with its clinking, echoing space-ride of distorted guitars and noises, even fits in perfectly and refreshingly at the point in the album when some might lose interest. These guys just want you to sit and relax.

Dave Scher, of Beachwood Sparks, carries on an interesting sound that makes this album feel like more of a sequel to Beachwood Sparks' self-titled album, albeit set on a tropical beach rather then the desert during a sunset.

This blog post is dedicated to (son of) Sky Bicycle, this very album containing the track that gave one of my favorite blogs its name. It's shutting down soon, so give it some attention.
