I love the way Sky Flying By balances hard guitars and soft, chirpy synths in this track off their new record What's the Farthest You Can See? Great stuff for those up on the post-rock tip.

This self-described "slow wave" outfit comes off a little like Perfume Genius with their slow, ethereal piano tracks. The title track to their latest record is a cloudy lullaby to warm you up on the inside.

Magic Man's long-form 8-bit tapestries put the average Gameboy composer to shame. Off the LP Real Life Color, here's the lovely tune "Darling".

The new video from Boston's Leisure filters urban scenes through pained kaleidescope vision. It's a little unnerving but mostly awesome, and all set to dreamy roiling guitars. Check it out below.

You don't get terribly much straight-up Americana out of Massachusetts, but when you do, it's pretty darn good. The brand-new EP from Boston's Caleb Groh masters the twang in three songs and one spoken word track. Read more about Caleb Groh - Down, Dakota!
