I love SUNWRAE, sleepmakeswaves and Karnivool best--though The Church and Tame Impala are also highly enjoyable. Unitopia, too.

Definitely like Merlin Bird. Will give Resonaxis a listen.

I can't wait for their new album...  I need to check.. it should be out anytime now if it hasn't been released already.

About goddamned time people focus on the current music being made than worshiping the old stuff man.
