"What started with a girl humming and singing on a tape recorder quickly turned into one of the most prominent bands in the Japanese underground scene. The original members of Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her were Aiha Higurashi (Vocal and Guitar) and Sachiko Ito (Bass). They had no past musical experience, and didn’t know much about playing their instruments, but they went on playing some shows anyway."
This here is a compilation album put out around the time of the bands split. It contains some of their best material followed by some of their not-so-best material. I'll be uploading more of these girls in the future but this should be enough to get your feet wet. Honestly this shit is hard to find so get it while you can.
192 'cause it's so fucking hard to find.

Asobi Seksu - Rewolf (2009)
One more inb4 wtfyourface posts. I don't fucking understand how this album was released without my knowledge. It angers me that none of my so called "friends" informed me of this albums existence. Fucking ACOUSTIC seksu.
Download it. 320.

Devendra Banhart - What Will We Be (2009)
"I know I look high
But I'm just free dancing"
This dropped the end of last month. I'm just now giving it a listen because recently I haven't really been feeling freak folk. Which is perfect it turns out, it seems as if Banhart has moved away from freak folk a bit with this release. There's some really nice sounds on this album and it's nice to see him taking a different direction in his music.
If anyone asks I'll upload more DB.
