and any of the first three Soundtrack of Our Lives albums, Welcome to the Infant Freebase in particular. BoSP is good, but it's prolly my least favorite OC. Matthew just bit off more than he could chew. some really draggy parts.

i agree matthew smith is a genius. there really is not that much out there like OC, although their rainbow quartz labelmates are a good place to start. the abunai recommendation is also a good one. see also perhaps green pajamas and the lucky bishops

really? what about "out there in the dark"?
i think "supernatural" is nice, but the production is better in "out there",more rich and less polished which is good.
and their latest,"stay happy" is also great, although the too much lo-fi simplicity of it's sound.

i love out there, but supernatural is the one i love best. it might seem weird but i think their songs do benefit from some polish, compare for example with the last clientele album (which upped the sonic ante without losing any of the charm)
