Oh, and be sure to check out the rest of our of best of posts.

If you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers (or your local independent record store):

Insound | Amazon MP3 | eMusic | Other Music

Additionally, if you want to download all (or most of) the tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions as we are way too lazy to zip and upload every single best of mix.

As Haunted Horses, Myke Pelly (also of Footwork) and Colin Dawson do create a creepy cacophony using guitar, drums and a variety of electronics. Maybe you saw them mentioned in that New York Time’s Seattle, Post Grunge slideshow (around the anniversary of Nevermind)? Well, the band has a new self-released EP called They Set Us Fevered Water that is a continuation of their last two EPs, Oblivion and Mirrored Orbifolds.

Listen.

Downloadable: Pariahs (mp3)

Oh and you can stream the whole of the They Set Us Fevered Water EP using the widget below.
