A City Safe From Sea, 2010http://acitysafefromsea.bandcamp.com/
I was roommates with one of the dudes in this band while they were writing/recording it, so I always felt weird about talking about it on ILM, but what great chaotic Unwound/Meneguar-influenced stuff, with trumpets and pitch-shifted riffs and big choruses. Still love it, still wish they'd ever play out.

Ha, looks like Gypsyhawk had to raise money in order to take their new label Metal Blade up on their last-minute invite to SXSW. Sounds like the album is due around June.

Aww man, loved this band back in the day. It's an old record (2002), but apparently it's getting release on vinyl and is available on Bandcamp.
Ashrae Fax, from Greensboro NC. A lot of Cocteau Twins in their sound (a LOT, singer has a similar voice for sure) but done really well: textured synths, guitars, and programmed drums etc. Really love this record:http://ashraefax.bandcamp.com/album/static-crash

This record is one of the best things I've heard all damn year. Instrumetal doom of the highest order (yes, I dropped the n from instrumental on purpose). Feel the riffage of Iron Mtn:

Thanks for the recommendations, guys, this stuff is great!
Meanwhile, I have a request – anyone find any good Zombi/Goblin type stuff for free download on there? I've been looking for some.

My friend has been running a twitter account called audiocloud based around a very similar idea to this thread - he personally curates a selection of bandcamp links to freely available independent music that he's enjoying, laying it out nicely using the album art embedded in each tweet and the twitter 'favourites' facility. Although he doesn't use ILX, I have shown him this thread for interest & inspiration and because it fitted with what he'd been doing for a while, and thought that you folks might enjoy his take on it too...

Talk about sleeping on a band for nearly 20 years! Snail recorded their debut at Razor's Edge in SF, where Sleep recorded Holy Mountain, put out an EP, disbanded, got back together and released Blood in 2009, and now Terminus. Only available at name yr price temporarily.

That's pretty good, though on the busy side, at least the intro track. I'm still much more into the languid/doomed side of the stonerverse.
