l_d6caa70f4c0facc9a31a8956563224dcNot with a stick. From Western Vinyl:

Your Father’s Basement, from Ola Podrida’s ink-still-wet Belly of the Lion. Propaganda: “a thing of quiet beauty reminiscent of the very best under-the-radar homegrown ’70s folk experiments.” –Aquarium Drunkard

Two tracks from Sleep Whale: Cotton Curls from their current release Houseboat, and Josh Likes Me from the Little Brite EP, released earlier in the year. Kudos: “a thought provoking, redolent, sweet, tender affair that really works when you lay back with some good headphones and take some time to daydream in the clouds.” –-What’s on the Hi-Fi

The Path To Recovery, from Peter Broderick’s 2009 soundtrack to Falling From Trees. Quotable: “wonderfully evocative and nuanced.” — themilkfactory

Finally, Power Osci from Shuta Hasunuma’s 2009 Pop Ooga Plus. Acclaim: “a lush moodscape of piano-based elegance.” –-Textura
