Doveman
Label: Swim SlowlyGenre: Pop, Slowcore
Doing a little bit of cleaning up around here and I was gladdened to come across The Acrobat and immediately horrified upon realizing that I've had Doveman queued up on our back-end of Moveable Type for SIX months. Doveman is slowly orchestrated pop, not unlike Belle and Sebastian dropping it down a notch for ladies choice at the skating rink. (Wow. I have no idea why that rollerskating image popped in my head). If you liked Neil Halstead's (Slowdive, Mojave 3) solo record, and you should, you should find Doveman aurally satisfying. A little blogosphere trivia, vocalist Thomas Bartlett keys the Audiofile column over at Salon.com — another fine, clean and quick MP3 fix.

The Robot Ate Me
Label: Swim SlowlyGenre: Experimental, Pop
TRAM's sunny disposition belies their dark, warped lyrics. They sand down pop songs like you would a rocking chair for that "distressed look."
