So I'm going to start this off with the artist from whom I stole the URL, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Essentially, this Ariel Pink chap is the only person on Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label not directly involved with Animal Collective. All of his recordings are done on an 8 track (on his own, I believe) and as such have a very lo-fi sound, to the point where you will wonder how on Earth this man not only got signed, but signed to a large enough label that you can indeed find his albums at a good HMV (although $15 overpriced, mind you, but a feat nonetheless). But under all the layers of tape-crack and hiss are absolutely brilliant pop songs. Imagine if some demented pop-songwriter lived in a cave two doors down from your room, kickin' out the jams loud enough for you to get some distant taste of the utter genius going on.
This one's from an album called The Doldrums, arguably one of his lesser "accessible" albums, but at the same time his best. Give it a chance & try to get past the recording quality.
