Dope Body has a lot of gated synthy filtery fuzz sounds.
No Spill Blood has a lot of synth and synthy bass. Awesome stuff.

Dope body sound wicked, adding that to the playlist.
I had a quick blast of No Spill Blood, but didn't really get me going, I dunno if it's the style of music, the production or what. The synth sounds in this are very digital, to my ears in a very bad way. Plus I pretty much hate string synth sounds with very few exceptions.
I'm more looking for guitar synth sounds in particular here, I've got tons (TONS!) of synth music in general, but have only been getting back into guitar more for the past 6 months or so, and with all the PLL pedals, re-release of the micro synthesizer, cheapness of the digitech and boss and behringer synth pedals, multiple bitcrush/sample rate reducer pedals and pitch shifters, moogerfoogers, snazzy fx etc hitting the market since I stopped focusing on guitar music so much, I had hoped there would be more bands incorporating these things into their sound a lot more. Even if it's a noisy, free jazz spazz out, progressive whatever, I'd be interested.
That 2011 Seefeel album is probably the most innovative thing I've heard with extensive use of these effects, when I saw them play live with 2 guitars a bass and a drummer with some sample pads it totally blew my head clean off. And they managed to avoid that whole 'making dubstep with guitarz and bassz' crap.
It took seeing them to really appreciate just exactly how much you can do now with a guitar as a sound source. Kind of like halfway between Fennesz and a standard band.

I'm digging the Crows An Wra. Sort of a throwback to when I was all about Forgive Durden and Gatsby's American Dream, but updated nicely. Lots of cool wobble and junk going on under the guitar that I'm liking.
