Friendly Ghosts

I found Origami Conspiracy on Soundcloud. If you like interesting, introspective indie such as Sparklehorse, you'll really like this guy.

Abnormal Dreams
by The Eskimo Chain
This has a real Barrett-era Pink Floyd vibe, and I'm a huge fan of Syd Barrett. It also has a Radiohead thing going on, which is equally great!

by Grey Hairs
