Influences:
MIST017 Kes Band by Kes Band
The extraordinary new album from Kes is simply called Kes Band. Recorded by James Cecil of Architecture in Helsinki fame in his Super Melody World studio, Kes Band is a stupendous leap forward from “The Grey Goose Wingâ€, with the same adventurous spirit but with a more concise and accessible pop sensibility.
MIST018 Alegranza by El Guincho
Mistletone is proud as a parrot to release Alegranza in Australia & New Zealand, in a beautiful glossy digipak. It's a mindblowing mix of afro-beat percussion, calypso harmonies, psych tropicália, world music samplers, doo wop, trance repetition, underwater pop, steel drums and island feeling plus club oriented song structures, uptempo beats and exotica production. Fantástico!

MIST016 Devotion by Beach House
The much anticipated new album from Baltimore duo Beach House is called Devotion and it is truly beautiful. The dreamy, hazy lost-world sound of their debut continues here with 11 enchanting new songs (including a Daniel Johnston cover!)

Gila
Heart Of Chambers
You Came To Me
MIST015 Sympathy for the New World by Ross McLennan
Mistletone is proud to be releasing the new album from Melbourne’s home recording pop genius Ross McLennan! Ross has outdone himself with Sympathy for the New World, a sprawling and majestic collection of pop gems both shiny and dark.
Evangelicals
MIST014 The Evening Descends by Evangelicals
Dabbling in glam, slipping in a little funk and soul, drinking the psychedelic Kool-aid, blasting the synths, cranking up the guitars, and wrapping it all up with a dose of pop smarts, The Evening Descends by Oklahoma's Evangelicals is the first great album of 2008! Click on the image above to mail order The Evening Descends and in a fit of generosity we shall send you a copy of the Evangelicals’ mind blowing debut So Gone FREE!
Mistletonia
MIST013 Mistletonia Xmas compilation features Evangelicals, High Places, Pikelet, Ned Collette, Barrage, John Maus, Kes Band, Ross McLennan, The Sticks, Jack Ladder, Hands On Heads, Francis Plagne & Grand Salvo featuring Oliver Mann.... guaranteed to stuff your stocking!
Black Dice
MIST012 Load Blown by Black Dice
Load Blown is the fourth album by Brooklyn’s Black Dice. The beats drip and roll, tar-pit voices sing into an oil can, and the guitars crank like calliope. Some tunes crackle and burble like submerged television, others bump and click along like a Summer Jam concert series from another dimension.
Click here to view the trippy new Black Dice video for "Kokomo"!
Bachelorette
MISTO11 Isolation Loops by Bachelorette
Bachelorette is the alter ego of Annabel Alpers, multi-instrumentalist and shining star of the New Zealand indie music scene. Recorded over a few months in a hut build by her great-grandfather in the wilds of New Zealand’s Canterbury Plains, Isolation Loops was recorded and mixed entirely by Alpers. Cosmic folk and psychedelic pop par excellence!
Check out Bachelorette's extra-terrestrial video for "Complex History of a Dying Star"!
Francis Plagne
MIST010 Francis Plagne - self titled
Fractured kaleidoscope pop sound artist extraordinaire, Francis Plagne, was once described by a wise music critic as having "the sensibility of a middle-aged musicologist and the free-form enthusiasm of a teenage music nerd". His second self-titled album is a collaborative release between Mistletone and Synaesthesia Records . You can download Francis Plagne's 22-minute performance for ABC-TV's "Set" program here
Dan Deacon
MIST009 Spiderman of the Rings by Dan Deacon
Absurdist composer and electronic musician, Dan Deacon, is based in Baltimore, Maryland. Musically influenced by Devo, Talking Heads, Scratch Orchestra, People Like Us, Raymond Scott and Conlon Nancarrow, Dan’s music strives to take modern experimental composition and electronic music out of the circle of the esoteric intellectual gangs and hipster communities, placing it into the more informal "fun time". Mistletone's special edition of "Spiderman of the Rings" includes a demento bonus track TOTALLY BONER EAT SHIT exclusive to the Australian version + super special artwork.

Fabulous Diamonds
MIST008 7" split release with Nervous Jerk
Borne out of a tradition that lies somewhere between classic dub, experimentalism and post punk, Fabulous Diamonds foreground a style (unique) and substance (intriguing) that come together in a hypnotic frenzy. It’s the hit you’ve been waiting for throughout this post post-punk mêlée we live in.

The splendiferous, samplicious solo record by Animal Collective's drummer/dreamer. De riguer!!

Beach House
MIST005 - Beach House by Beach House - Australian edition, enhanced with exclusive video clip for "Master Of None"

Maybe the best pop album ever! Every song sounds like a super hit!
