Lo-fi, post rock, drone, folk

Lo-fi post rock with heavy folkish and dronish vibes. Pretty damn well done, perfect mixture between drone and folk.

Post rock, pop

Self defined as "pop for people who don't listen to pop". While terribly pretentious, it's pretty spot on. Poppy post-rock tunes based around classical guitar arpeggios, they are #abstract and catchy at the same time, perfect for anyone from The Poe to my teenage sister.

Ambient.

Apparently everyone hated this on the ALC. At first it seemed boring and tasteless to me, but I kept coming back and now I love it. It's a great record once you get to know it - I'm using it during those long sleepless nights and it makes insomnia less ugly.

I approve of your #1. (The rest is pretty cool too, I guess.)

Your descriptions are awesome. I've been slacking off on finding gems amidst new releases, so I appreciate this list a lot.
