Bradford Cox [a.k.a Atlas Sound] better known as the lead singer of Deerhunter has made two albums of blissful/weirdo, ambient, experimental Indie Rock & i totally love it, reminds me a little bit of Animal Collective but there's definitely enough going on to separate the two, multi-layered/super peaceful.

Lexx
Hailing from the same Baltimore crew that contains Run DMT, Happy Family & Dem Hunger amongst others, Lexx's sound is all over the shop, switching from Glitchy Soulful Wonk stuff to Silly Ghetto Wobble... experimental & fun, both their 'Slime Time' & 'Mangoblunt' ep's are worth gettin'

Mark McGuire
Minimalist/Ambient artist from Cleveland USA also notably in the awesome Experimental group Emeralds, his stuff is long blissed out, droney, uplifting guitar solos.

Andrea Liuzza
Experimental Electronic Indie from Italy, he's done film scores, childrens music & sound installations... his 'Countless Ways For Pressing Flowers' is very good, fans of acts like Sigur rós should probably pay attention.
Thanks to Roxy

Wyrd Visions
Canadian Folk artist, his music at times has the same melancholy lonely feel as powerful Black Metal, which makes it hardly surprising that his sole album 'Half-Eaten Guitar' features a lovely Mayhem cover... there's nothing heavy going on here though, just atmospheric Folk strumming.

Silver Apples
Classic New York Electronic Psych band, credited with being the first band from a Rock area to employ Electronics... their self titled & Contact albums are both equally as trippy as they are head bobbin'
Fabrice Planquette
Planes, record clicks & pops, train noises, voices, natural sounds... all sorts of things blended together into zone out atmospheric soundscapes by this French experimentalist, his work is all free and released through labels such as Enough Records & CONV, Highly recommended sound collage.

WaGawAgA
Hertfordshire based Dubstep artist who's sound is totally pushing things forward, the mrepsican album [which is available for free @ archive.org] is amazing, this is some of the best Dubstep i've ever heard.
BIGUP to Mark for thissun

Obsidian Pond
Manchester based Experimental group, their music is a sort of Lo-Fi Psychedelic but with a very tribal repetition and overall Tropical/Calypso feel, they're seemingly associated with Deathbomb Arc.

Topaz Rags
Amanda from Pocahaunted + Robedoor = Topaz Rags, American freaky/Drone/Psych-Folk [but really neither], haunting Rock... ballads, like most Not Not Fun releases, impossibly hard to classify, which is the reason so many flock to the label. They're total 'strung-out on heroin blues' type stuff & easily one of the top 5 acts on NNF

Bruno Pronsato
Ex-Drummer for the Punk/Speed Metal band 'Voice Of Reason' turned Micro/Minimal Techno producer, his stuff is dark, sexy, hypnotic, tribal, glitchy, futuristic & so much more... highly recommend his Why Cant We Be Like Us? lp & other Hello? Repeat releases.
DJ Scotch Egg
More Wrong Music, Scotch Egg is a Japanese Chiptune/Experimental/Gabbacore [just made that up] artist from the UK, his music is Chiptune to the hardcore end of the spectrum, screaming through megaphones and abusing Nintendo beats into spazzy rave stuff. While getting notorious through the festival circuit over the last few years & hitting it big on the underground with his KFC Core album, it's this track from a cdr i grabbed from Glade a few years back that blows me away everytime.

Master
I know for sure they're from the UK & they're related to Wrong Music, anymore information than that seems to be impossible to locate. From the first time i heard this track yearsss ago i knew i loved it, so free & utterly silly... lacking in any want or need to display musical ability and instead just fucking GOING FOR IT, it's like free jazz or improvisational poetry done by our generations drug abusing youth, i love absolutely everything about it and wish i could find more songs than just this & the equally as silly/brilliant track 'Skills' featuring on Now Thats What i Call Wrong Music Vol.4

16 Bitch Pile Up
Ohio based all female Noise/Experimental group, their music is like building Soundscapes of plucks & hums & glitches & whines... the youtube comment is spot on, like Wolf Eyes but female & more chilled out, but that isn't to say it's not equally as dark at times.
Clint Mansell
Renown Modern Classical/Soundtrack artist Mansell made big hits with works for Aranofsky's Requiem for a Dream & The Fountain, returning again for Moon his music evokes the tension and loneliness of the equally amazing film perfectly.
Todd Tamanend Clark
70's/80's Pennsylvania based Psychedelic Punk stuff... i'm reminded of Iggy Pop & Richard Hell but it sounds like they had a session with the Dead or Floyd, if you love kickin' back to jam music with great blues inspired riffs then this is for you.
Big thanks to nightimelady for this!
