Captain #1-The Humble / Captain#1/Enoch-Color What You Want

Captain#1-The Humble (2007)


Athens-based Captain #1's sound is the product of Tim Denson, formerly of Starlite Motel. The Humble's tracks sparkle with not only twinkling acoustic guitars in open tunings, but glockenspiels, tambourines, maracas, and sometimes what sounds like a well-handled kazoo. Perfect low-key, mellow, indie pop.

Captain #1/Enoch-Color What You Want (2005)

2006's Color What You Want is a split-EP from Captain #1 and Fort Myers, Florida's Enoch Bledsoe. Enoch's sound is very folky and sometimes aggressive, providing an interesting contrast but a beautiful accompaniment to Captain #1.
Tracks #1-5 belong to Tim Denson and Captain #1; tracks #7-11 are Enoch Bledsoe's. Track #6 is an instrumental featuring a harmonica, performed by both artists.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti-Scared Famous


Psychedelic lo-fi at it's best.

Scared Famous
manages to cram a mish-mash of '60's psychedelic, '70's disco beats, and an unrelenting pop hook. Originially released in 2002 as a double-album, Scared Famous/FF, it contained 19 songs, but was paired down to 17 (and with a re-arranged track order, strangely) with the re-release as a single album.

Ariel Pink was signed to Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label in 2003, after passing on a CD-R of his music to them at a show, becoming the first artist signed to their label.
