Pinback - Good to Sea
they definitely sound more commercial on their new album, Autumn of the Seraphs, but I happen to think they wear commercial appeal quite well.
Portland's Helio Sequence have a new record out too. This reverb-heavy, Band of Horses-like number is lovely.
Helio Sequence - Keep Your Eyes Ahead

Sometimes-San Francsisco-resident Thao Nguyen [pictured] released her Kill Rock Stars debut, We Brave Bee Stings and All, yesterday. Thao's lilting vocals and folk bend are infectious.
Thao Nguyen - Bag of Hammers
Thao is currently on tour with her labelmates, Xiu Xiu.

I love this pinback song! I can hear the more mainstream sound, but avant-garde mechano-rock is still there... underneath it all...
This song makes me feel like smiling.
