Black Dice - Load Blown [2007]

Cool noisy electronic from New York's own Black Dice. There's not much else to say about this other than that it's an absolute blast to listen to. (I'm pretty tired and can't write right now, but you get my gist.)

Tobacco - Fucked Up Friends [2008]

While it may be Tobacco's debut album, Black Moth Super Rainbow's front-man was no stranger to the warm and nostalgia-inducing synthesizers, addicting beats and heavily vocoded, psyched-out lyrics when he brought it all together in this solo album. In Fucked Up Friends, Tobacco focuses his trademark skills, talents and sounds toward a more hip-hop influenced style that feels just right for it all. The hip-hop comes out the most in the track "Dirt", which features Aesop Rock rapping over Tobacco's newly beat-oriented yet customarily psychedelic music which shines in its own fuzzed out way throughout Fucked Up Friends.
