Jasper TX - I'll Be Long Gone......

Recently supported Grouper in Manchester where he performed a soul absorbing set. His blend of ambient music is mainly guitar driven but when a layer of drums, voices, organs, toy pianos, field recordings and effects are added it becomes something quite special and unique.

Twi the Humble Feather - Music for Spaceships and Forests

An acoustic guitar trio from NYC whose sound is hard to describe, experimental minimalist space folk comes to mind. They don't use any "drums", but there are percussion sounds made from hitting the strings and wood of the guitars. No effects are used either, but there are some great use of vocals and interesting string scraping sounds that sound like they're coming from an electronic device.

Mark McGuire - A Pocket Full of Rain

Guitar driven sci-fi drone by a young guy from Cleveland,Ohio. This isn't heavy though, there are some really beautiful trance inducing melodies. I'm a big fan of his music, you should be too. Highly recommended.
