Ozric Tentacles—The YumYum Tree (2009)
I had never even heard of this band until recently, but damn is this album good. Pure instrumental electronic spacerock that consistently transports you to other worlds. Imagine Hawkwind mixed with Black Moth Super Rainbow mixed with the Yoshida Brothers and you're kind of in the ballpark.

Car Seat Headrest - Teens Of Denial

This record takes patience, but it's clicked eventually after a few thorough listens, and I'm pretty blown away. This guy's turning into quite the songwriter we all all expected him to become. If you have an hour to spend, I assure you this is seriously great.

Fans seemed to like the live stuff even more:
Live at the Pongmasters Ball and Sunrise Festival are good places to go.

I've actually gotten several of their albums in the past few days. The YumYum Tree was the first one I got and is one of my favorites so far, along with Technicians of the Sacred and Waterfall Cities. It seems like the consensus is that Erpland is their best, but it's my least favorite of the ones I've heard. I definitely would like to check out some of the live ones.

Paul Jebanasam - Continuum

Jebanasam's use of soundtrack esque synth drones, scattered ripples of sound, and stuttery withered samples come together and make some really great ambient music. Ideally I think that ambient music should be a sort of auditory narrative that you can get lost in, which Jebanasam accomplishes pretty well in this album. There are three long explorations on this album, with easy to remember titles such as "
depart as | air dx stop ∂ρ/∂ /dt somewhere = +∇⋅(ρ sigma*(y waiting -x) v)=0 ∂ρ/dy/dt for = you x dim," and each of them has some really jaw dropping and surprising moments throughout. The stark contrast between the really lush sounds and the interrupting samples creates some really fascinating pieces. Some parts remind me of It's Such a Beautiful Day in a way.

Not the best album of the year imo, but it is definitely one of the more beautiful and evocative ones that I've heard in a long time. If you've got ears, you've gotta listen.
