YouTube - The Flashbulb - Kirlian Shores
one of the few musicians who strikes a balance between technical wizardry and raw, emotional songwriting. this song, in particular, is a favorite.
YouTube - Efterklang - 01 - Step Aside (Live)
efterklang is a 5 piece studio, 9 piece live band. not all of their music is quite as electronically influenced as this, but "step aside" is a wonderful track regardless and manages to fuse some very glitch-inspired beats with acoustic instruments.
YouTube - Efterklang - 03 - Mirador (Live)
an efterklang song more rooted in real instruments with just a bit of the electronic influence added in for good measure (
the studio mix is also a good listen if you prefer your music more cleanly mixed).
