Justin Pearson might just be my favorite musician of all time. From his early work in Swing Kids to being in The Locust, and every side project in between, Pearson and his bandmates have been tearing down the barriers of "normal" music. This album is no exception. Ground Unicorn Horn is, in my opinion, the best thing I've heard from Three One G since The Locust. Unfortunately, this 2 song 7" is the only release from this band, and a follow up seems unlikely. So download this, and if you like other 31G bands, I guarantee you'll be jamming this one for a long time.

Starscream- Future, Towards the Edge of Forever
I had been meaning to listen to this album forever. I've been aware of Starscream for a few months now, learning of them through Anamanaguchi's twitter account, but it took until today for me to finally listen to them. I was blown away. This is the way chiptune should sound. The theme of all of their material is space, and they do an awesome job of expressing that theme through these 8 songs. To make things better, these songs have a post-rock feel to them, while still maintaining that chiptune style that fans love. This album is perfect and it would be ridiculous not to give it a listen. So download this, then go to their Bandcamp and get the rest of their stuff. They're on tour I believe so support them by buying their music.
