This is the one man project of musician and composer Sergey Lunev from Odessa, Ukraine. He has several piano-driven instrumental post rock pieces to download for free on Last.fm. So far my favourite is I Just Want To Be Your Everything. I can relate.

Audiocæneat! is a German post-rock / shoegaze band, which was formed in 2009 in Dresden. Their 6-track debut album, Red Sessions, came out in November 2010. The opening number, The Truth Unfolded I, is free to download from Last.fm while the album is for sale on Bandcamp starting at €2.99.
The Echelon Effect is David Walters from London, UK. He makes instrumental epic-sounding post-rock tracks often tending towards chillout and ambient. Some of them are free to download from Last.fm, others are uploaded to Youtube. All songs, however, are available in lossless and lossy formats on Bandcamp on a name your price basis with no minimum set. Here are a few to try:

Stargazing melancholic post-rock music from Moscow. The one-man project’s first EP was released on the Radio Hand Netlabel and downloadable for free, along with several other songs from Last.fm. Take your pick, or listen to Nozomi (望み/Wish) here:

A slight problem is that the EP’s Rapidshare link is down and the Russian site wants people to look at ads first and whatnot. Using mad skills, black magic and a lot of Google translate I was able to grab the file, sparing you, dear readers, from the hassle: you can get The Way Home directly from sesam.hu. Happy listening!
If you have a melancholic monday, put the new Nohopekids EP on. This fast-paced lo-fi garage punk is sure to shake up anyone. According to Piresian Beach Zsófi, it’s like The Stooges, or 60s protopunk albums. All nine tracks are downloadable from bandcamp.
How about breaking the chain of dark music and melancholia with a bit of reggae. I stumbled upon Gravefruit Sound on Facebook even though the local stations are said to have picked up their hit song Szabad leszek (I’ll be free). It’s quite catchy.

The best part is that their 2009 album Kéz a kézben (Hand in hand) is downloadable for absolutely nada from their (very amateurish) site. The package comes with reasonably good ID3 tags and an acceptable cover image for the 256kbps mp3s.
I wrote about Juliana Daily’s music back in February noting that her original songs are unfortunately not accessible internationally. I’m happy to announce this is no longer the case: for barely a price of a beer ($3) you can get either the Falls From Trees EP or the Birdsongs EP, each with three numbers. As per Bandcamp standards a plethora of lossy and lossless formats are available.
For encouragement, here’s her latest cover of Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground by The White Stripes.
Some of the music from the game Portal 2 is now downloadable gratis from Valve’s site. The industrial tracks come complete with a neat cover image and properly tagged. Additionally ringtones for Android phones and the iPhone are also available.
This is so fresh it just came out yesterday. I don’t know who she/he/they is/are but morningdeer’s new LP, days, is quite an interesting listen. Expect experimental avantpop sometimes spiced with unlikely sound effects that reminds of Émilie Simon. The whole shebang is free on bandcamp and available in both lossless and lossy formats. I recommend checking out floor at least:
Tavaly a Hegyalja Fesztiválon láttam őket élőben, tegnap pedig a Lángoló Gitárokon fedeztem fel az új, ingyen letölthető EP-t.
Igényes elektronikus alapon lüktető alternatív popdalok, méghozzá egészen kellemesek. Itt is meg lehet hallgatni, az OS X alatt tömörített teljes EP pedig a Lángoló Gitárokról szedhető le.
