A word of explanation for the beginning: this blog will mention the most impressive tunes I've heard in my life. I'm going to write about single songs, not the albums, because I found most albums filled with nothing special, and many obscure bands had just single-tune shot in my head. Generally, I guess it's a sign of times: you can buy single songs on iTunes, stream it somewhere, extract it to favourites, etc.Anyway: no genre, time, region prejudices here. Though, I admit, I'm mostly into post-rock direction now, I'll give you a scoop to my other impressions as well.
I'm starting up with most recent discovery, a Virginia-based outfit named Gregor Samsa. Born under Franz Kafka's sign, the band walked on the territory recently abandoned by Sigur Rós. One may complain this means lack of innovation, but Gregor Samsa proves otherwise, with calm vocals splitted between male and female singers, and very relaxing guitar layers. I found album-closer 'Lessening' as their best at '55:12', and a perfect example of what I said above. Since the group announced their new album forthcoming, I'm looking forward to praise them again.
