Especially check on Les Sages and Cari Clara. The Les Sages record in particular is incredible.

That cover of creep is so bizarre.

Yes, I already love Les Sages. They were on my EOTY list. I also discovered the Athletes through this sampler. So good.

Cari Clara is great too, sounds slightly like Radiohead. Moonlit Sailor, Goonies Never Say Die, Dorena, and I Am Sonic Rain are four totally different styles of post-rock. All great. Moonlit sailor is a bit lighter, Goonies is a bit heavier, Sonic Rain is more electro, and Dorena is just different.

Yeah, the entire sampler is incredible. Deep Elm is tied with No Sleep for my favorite record label.

The head guy is great too. He's been a great help with my promotion.
