With a sound that can be compared to the likes of Panda Bear , Messy Sparkles is the experimental project of Austin, Texas–based JD Paul . Since releasing his debut Feeling Good Forever LP earlier this year, Paul has traveled around the country "playing beautiful music and playing sweaty basements," as stated by Andy Todryk, a representative from Paul's label, Two Michael Jordan Records. Recently, Paul teamed up with Florida-native Gabriel Berrios of Tree Hopping to release the duo's first collaborative EP. Released via Two Michael Jordans [...]

If the lost boys were indeed real and alive today, I'd imagine, that in their evolution, they'd make music similar to what you'll hear on this new tape fresh out on MJ MJ . The tape is half Austin, Texas based Messy Sparkles , and half Floridian Tree Hopping . And in true 'lost boy' fashion, they use their imaginations to utilize anything and everything they can to be a part of their music. The result is party worthy music, the likes of which, would [...]
PREMIERE: Messy Sparkles - New Doors, Hidden Rooms The folks behind the Two Michael Jordans Records label are enthusiastic and positive people - truly more community organizers and rabble rousers than music businessmen. They embody everything good and healthy about DIY music, the pirate family lifestyle and backyard n' basement shows for getting wild. As testement to their team-building, I'll let ringleader Andy Todryk 's tell the story of the collaboration they orchestrated: Messy Sparkles is JD Paul from Fayetteville, Arkansas (he [...]
*PREMIERE* Tree Hopping // "Cricket Day Song" So Andy from Two Michael Jordans asked me to premiere this new track from the upcoming Tree Hopping / Messy Sparkles split cassette Messy Hopping (recalling the cleverly named Black Girls tape from earlier this year). As you can tell I responded enthusiastically in the affirmative. I'm pretty much in love with everything those guys do which just so happens to include releasing some really great music. [...]

A serious gem, Tree Hopping's The Beat Band is an album of percussive, guitar pop anthems, where every song has catchy, faultless hooks. It's got a great sound; bedroom lo-fi recordings and obscure world samples blend together seamlessly, making it impossible to tell where one begins and the other ends. It should keep you looking forward to summer all year long. Download here .

Tree Hopping is the bedroom pop project of Gainesville Florida-based musican Gabriel Berrios. His latest release Tree Hopping Dance Band is full of dreamy guitar riffs, hazy vocals (recorded lying down in bed in the middle of the night, of course), tropical beats and samples. A rather prolific past few months, the album is Gabriel's fourth release since his first, Tough Summer , from back in November. Check out all of Tree Hopping's jams over at his bandcamp .

Jangly, worldly guitar, chanty vocals, and all 'tribal' sampled drum patterns makes up the bedroom-recorded discordant pop sounds of Florida-based musician Gabriel Berrios aka Tree Hopping. Formally part of the now-defunct Totally Nebular, Gabriel has put out a steady stream of impressive releases for a good few months, the latest being Tree Hopping Dance Band , via bandcamp, which sees Gabriel successfully edging further into electronic sounds. Check out stuff from a range of his releases below, or hear and download more over at bandcamp . Tree Hopping - Tough Summer (b) [...]
May 2011 was a pretty eventful month for Rebel. We survived the rapture. We got a few shout-outs from the big dogs. We threw an awesome party and someone got shot down the street. Despite all of the ruckus, we still managed to tune into some of the best May had to offer in music. As always, we've lovingly compiled our favorite releases in case you missed them, and cheers to another great month of music in June.

Ohhh, Gabriel Bagriel, you put sunshine into my heart on a cold day with your lo-fi island-style sample-based bedroom music. My mind quickly jumps to a place of fuzzy monkeys, warm nights, fire pits, canopies and shish kabobs when I hear your sweet tunes flow out of my speakers. I'll never forget the day I first heard your music . 00 0 is the third release from Gainesville, Florida's Gabriel Berrios. This album is currently available as a 3-track download on Bandcamp [...]

Tree Hopping is the side project of 1/3 of carnival yelpers Totally Nebular . If I had to guess I'd say this guy is the main song writer for Totally Nebular, as they aren't too far apart. The Beat Band is heavier on the tropical influence and lighter on the (already light) hip-hop influences on Boat Boat. The music (except vocals) is made entirely of loops, but it never sounds inorganic. There's also something particularly grin-inducing about hearing the incredibly catchy hooks pop in more than one song. [...]
