Upsidedown Astronaut
from "Flight 1998" (Kid Without Radio)
"This is a painting of textures, emotions layered into one another and the sense that something great is just around the corner like Dntel's work on The Postal Service. Expectation is a very difficult concept to convey musically and Upside Down Astronaut has done an admirable job of bringing it into your eardrums. I recommend listening to this album while sitting on the edge of a cliff watching the sea fight off a storm as it approaches. It pairs nicely with dark clouds overhead and a large cup of coffee."

Dreamdate
from "Patience" (Skywriting Records)
"'My claps aren't very loud. Can you guys help me out?' Yea-Ming Chen pleaded from the stage. That's the kind of sweet, unpretentious friendliness that makes audiences fall in love with Dreamdate, an Oakland-based garage-pop band led by Chen and her best friend, Anna Hillburg."
