Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch (2004)

My fave Regina Spektor record, this is gorgeous pop music with a twist... new album due out soon.

RYM - 3.76/5

Elliott Smith - Either/Or (1997)

This is probably the defining album in Elliott Smith's enigmatic and brilliant short career. He is just a great story teller.

RYM - 4.16/5

World's End Girlfriend - Hurtbreak Wonderland (2007)

Really beautiful and minimalistic post rock from Japan.

RYM - 3.57/5

Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + Start - And The Battle Is Won (2005)

Another beautiful post rock record, this is Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + Start as their very, very best.

RYM - 3.68/5

Elbow - Asleep In The Back (2001)

The debut album from UK band Elbow. They recently made headlines for winning the 08 mercury music prize for the album "The Seldom Seen Kid". This album is literally 10 times better than that record. If you haven't heard it then check it out.

RYM - 3.73/5

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (2000)

80 minutes, 4 tracks, no vocals, some of the most scary and beautiful music ever recorded.

RYM - 4.17/5

Do Make Say Think - You, You're a History in Rust (2007)

Another widely acclaimed post rock album from a couple of years back... really beautiful stuff.

RYM - 3.53/5

Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss (2006)

Almost 60 minutes long with 3 tracks... this is a monstrous post rock album that will either thrill you and inspire you to do great things... or put you too sleep.

A win either way.

RYM - 3.94/5

Antony and The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now (2005)

This album won the 05 mercury music prize and for good reason, it's a beautiful pop album. Antony shows why he is the worlds most amazing vocalist.

RYM - 3.76/5

Silverchair - Neon Ballroom (1999)

One of the most amazing Australian albums of the past decade, Daniel Johns really started to fill out his potential as a song writer on this record.

RYM - 3.37/5

Wheat (1999)

The video for the track "Don't I Hold You?".

One of the all time great indie songs.

Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + Start - Embers (2008)

One of the most outstanding post rock albums from 2008, really beautiful, epic music. Terrible name though.

RYM - 3.61/5

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (1992)

Welcome to unique world of Richard D James.

RYM - 4.02/5

The scary as fuck vid to the track "Come To Daddy".

Burton Wagner - 21 (2007)

A really beautiful instrumental guitar, post rock album. This dude has recently changed his recording name to "Haloed Eyes". Give it a listen.

RYM - 3.45/5

Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans (2004)

Sufjan's fourth studio album and the album from whick I discovered him. Doesn't quite reach the heights of it's follow up "Illinoise" but it's still a brilliant indie release.

RYM - 3.84/5

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (2007)

The perfect band follow up the perfect debut album with the perfect second album... PERFECT!

RYM - 3.78/5

Live clip of "Keep The Car Running".

The Antlers - Hospice (2009)

A really subtle and beautiful indie album... these guys could yet prove to be this years Bon Iver.

RYM - 3.76/5

B. Fleischmann - The Humbucking Coil (2006)

Some really beautiful and lush ambient/electronic music for you here, B. Fleischmann released this album in 06 to little acclaim but it really struck a chord with me, his released the follow up late last year but I reckon it was pretty bad.

RYM - 3.44/5

Saxon Shore - The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore (2005)

The stunning 05 album from the little known post rock band Saxon Shore. Hailing from Philly this is their third album.

RYM - 3.75/5

Stateless - Stateless (2007)

One of the great debut albums to be released in recent years. Dark, beautiful trip hop/pop music that you wont easily forget.

RYM - 3.23/5

My favourite track from 2007, "Bloodstream".
