1	Cripple Crow (2005) more music like this by Devendra Banhart Cripple Crow marks a departure for Devendra Banhart. It's obvious from the faux Sgt. Pepper-meets-Incredible String Band freak scene cover photo that something is afoot. The disc is Banhart's first foray from Michael Gira's Young God label, and it's more adventurous than anything he's done before. This is not to imply that the set is a slick, ... see all copies from $11.14! new only from $13.25!
2	Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon (2007) more music like this by Devendra Banhart In the early days of Devendra Banhart's career, his ghostly voice singing down the phone and captured on four track was more than enough to lend the eerie mysticism required for his nonsensical material (of course, it didn't hurt that his voice was bewitching no matter the lyrical content). As he gradually acquired confederates and the ability to ... see all copies from $9.13! new only from $13.25!
3	The Wizard of Is (2004) more music like this by Pearls Before Swine San Francisco's Water Records has certainly done right by Tom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine. Not only has the label reissued its Warner Bros. recordings in their entirety individually and as a box set, it has now come up with this 44-track, two-disc collection of rarities and live recordings from 1967-1976. This is a mighty artifact indeed. The ... see all copies from $12.62! new only from $20.87!
4	I Am the Resurrection: A Tribute to John Fahey (2006) more music like this by Various Artists The late John Fahey was to fingerpickers (or simply "pickers") what Jimmy Smith was to soul-jazz/hard bop organ -- Fahey, in other words, wrote the book on fingerpicking, an earthy, rootsy, instrumental style of folk-rock acoustic guitar playing. And just as Smith influenced countless organists, the seminal Fahey was a musical guru for Leo Kottke, ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $3.99!
5	Young Prayer (2004) more music like this by Panda Bear Composed and recorded following the death of Panda Bear's father, it is perhaps no surprise that Young Prayer comes off as a musical eulogy. But it is nothing like a wild outpouring of emotion. There is no tearing of hair or gnashing of teeth here. Rather, the short album is a restrained lamentation, a controlled elegiac mediation on the death of ... see all copies from $9.67! new only from $12.43!
6	The Complete ESP-Disk Recordings (2005) more music like this by Pearls Before Swine The Complete ESP-Disk Recordings of Pearls Before Swine is simply the handsomely repackaged reissue of both albums cut for the label in 1967 and 1968, One Nation Underground and Balaklava. Re-released in the U.S. by Bernard Stollman's erratically active label, the two-on-one CD package features both albums completely remastered for reissue by ... see all copies from $11.59! new only from $14.04!
7	Human Like a House (2007) more music like this by The Finches see all copies from $11.45! new only from $13.19!
8	Trowel and Era (2005) more music like this by Apothecary Hymns see all copies from $11.64! new only from $13.37!
9	This Is Fire (2006) more music like this by Spires That in the Sunset Rise The third album by Spires That in the Sunset Rise -- their second for the excellent Secret Eye label -- finds the quartet's ability at beautiful, shadowy music well in hand. Like labelmate Larkin Grimm, trying to say that their work is "acid folk" or freak folk" or whatever other label is around seems far too limiting -- it's a handy tag which ... see all copies from $10.88! new only from $13.37!
10	Find Shelter (2006) more music like this by Noah Georgeson As Noah Georgeson has been a key associate of both Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart, it's no surprise that his debut solo album is eccentric singer/songwriter folk-rock, with the accent on the folk rather than the rock. Fortunately, it's not explicitly reminiscent of either Newsom or Banhart, though there are similarities in the vibe. Instead, ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
11 view cover	Holy Modal Rounders, Vols. 1 & 2 (1999) more music like this by The Holy Modal Rounders Both of the Rounders' first two Prestige albums are combined onto one disc on this CD reissue, with the addition of new historical liner notes by Larry Kelp. Even if you already have the records, this might be of interest for the inclusion of two previously unreleased 1964 outtakes, "Sugar in the Gourd" and "Soldier's Joy." Also, the second album ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	Black Tar Prophecies, Vols. 1, 2, & 3 (2006) more music like this by Grails Now this is more like it. Grails had basically fallen into a post-rock rut by the time their tour ended in 2005. They lost track of their violinist, Timothy Horner, who has rarely -- if ever -- been seen again. Reports of him living on the streets, hocking his violin, committed to a mental hospital, etc., have been apocryphal, but the band looked ... see all copies from $13.95! new only from $13.95!
13 view cover	Lightning Dust (2007) more music like this by Lightning Dust Members of Vancouver's psychedelic space rock monster Black Mountain have formed several side projects up until this point, and what's striking is that all of these ensembles, duos, and solo acts have been consistently good. Lightning Dust, comprised of Amber Webber and Joshua Wells, is no exception; their self-titled debut is stark, curst, ... see all copies from $5.82! new only from $13.25!
14 view cover	Comments of the Inner Chorus (2006) more music like this by Tunng Tunng's sophomore outing finds the folktronic fabulists further exploring and refining the distinctive, gently whimsical blend of pastoral acoustic folk, electronic programming, and musique concrète that they unveiled on earlier releases. Recorded as the group was in the process of evolving from a duo (Sam Genders and Mike Lindsay, who had ... see all copies from $10.92! new only from $12.56!
15 view cover	Good Arrows (2007) more music like this by Tunng For their third full-length, Good Arrows, British six-piece Tunng continue to deliver the same combination of folk, pop, and indie electronica that earned the band the description of "folktronica." Lightly programmed beats and blips pepper the acoustic guitar arpeggios that give the songs their base, as Sam Genders' soft vocals layer over ... see all copies from $11.74! new only from $13.95!
16 view cover	Burning Off Impurities (2007) more music like this by Grails When the Grails released the compendium of their Black Tar Prophecies EPs in a single-CD volume -- two had previously been issued on vinyl only, the third was released only as part of the collection -- they found themselves exploring new and varied sonic territory. They moved away from the early post-rock schematics that had landed them in a ... see all copies from $10.60! new only from $13.09!
17 view cover	There's No Home (2007) more music like this by Jana Hunter Jana Hunter's debut album, Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom was a gentle yet psychedelically disturbing affair. It gave real weight to the term "freak folk." Its songs were wonderfully unnerving and as its titles suggests, often bleak. While the title of There's No Home doesn't make it sound like a much happier affair, musically the two sets couldn't ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $4.89!
18 view cover	Christ Tree (1975) more music like this by The Trees Community see all copies from $2.82! new only from $10.99!
19 view cover	Black Ships Ate the Sky (2006) more music like this by Current 93 For anyone who has followed Current 93 even casually (most who do are obsessive), Black Ships Ate the Sky is a whole new thing on the one hand, and the culmination of what began in earnest on 1992's Thunder Perfect Mind on the other. Thunder Perfect Mind -- a companion album to Nurse with Wound's release of the same name -- set out wholesale to ... see all copies from $12.07! new only from $13.50!
20 view cover	Gyllyng Street (2007) more music like this by Songs of Green Pheasant see all copies from $9.76! new only from $9.76!
21 view cover	This Is...Tunng: Mother's Daughter and Other Songs (2006) more music like this by Tunng The debut album from London's Tunng, following several singles from which only two tracks are reprised here, presents ten alluring glimpses into the already fully formed and distinctive soundworld they would continue to explore and develop on future releases: in essence, gently pastoral acoustic folk, liberally garnished with electronic flourishes ... see all copies from $6.20! new only from $15.33!
22 view cover	Bride of Dynamite (2007) more music like this by Rio en Medio In part because it was released on Devendra Banhart's Gnomonsong label, Rio en Medio's debut album attracted instant attention among devotees of the sort of odd, spacy folk-based music popularized by Banhart and Joanna Newsom in the preceding years. The wispy vocals and delicate, eccentric songs of Rio en Medio, aka Danielle Stech-Homsy, are ... see all copies from $10.43! new only from $11.69!
23 view cover	Ancestral Songs (2006) more music like this by Daniel (A.I.U.) Higgs Daniel Higgs' first solo album available in more than an obscure limited edition, Ancestral Songs is an old-fashioned piece of cracked acid folk. The opening track,"Living in the Kingdom of Death, has the obsessively repetitive lyrical structure of a Jandek song, though its simple and rather traditional acoustic folk setting is considerably less ... see all copies from $11.64! new only from $13.70!
24 view cover	Aerial Days (2006) more music like this by Songs of Green Pheasant Aerial Days could be classified as an odds-and-sods EP, but it feels like a whole lot more. There are moments here that feel a little more Flaming Lips-ish than the previous material, what with the prevalence of some buzzy electric bass and the sheer washes of synthesizer, but for the most part the album sticks with the same sort of dreamy, ... see all copies from $8.89! new only from $10.76!
25 view cover	Catfish (2006) more music like this by Shawn David McMillen This is some serious, deeply mind-expanding music. Not psychedelic with studio trickery or exotic trappings like sitars; psychedelic like handfuls of peyote and mushrooms in the desert in the middle of the night. This isn't pop music that grew out of the hippie counterculture in the '60s; this music comes from somewhere deep in the human psyche, a ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
