This is a great album. It’s darkwave-ish. I heard it in the shop today and for a second I though it was New Order. Bought it before I left.
My favourites so far (in no particular order): The Orielles - Silver Dollar Moment The Breeders - All Nerve Songs of Kemet - Your Queen is a Reptile A.A.L (Against All Logic). 2012 - 2017 Caroline Rose - Loner Judas Priest - Firepower Lisa Stansfield - Deeper Lo Moon - Lo Moon
Think I probably said it before here, but new Minami Deutsch today! Sounding good, though a little disappointed that I won't get the vinyl for a couple weeks, guess it got delayed or I missed the first batch. No matter, fun album in whatever form, even if just streaming from Spotify. Next up on the agenda, new Virginia Wing, but probably be a few unknowns coming along before that, afterall, it's still over a month away ...
Got the FACS album on vinyl on Friday. This is definitely one of those situations where format matters. I had been listening on Spotify prior to my vinyl delivery and was underwhelmed, but it all makes sense now listening to the vinyl...texture, air, intensity. Top class
If you think like Irish mythological literature (or Scottish as this is the epic metal narration of stories from McPherson’s Ossian that was called the greatest literature in human history by Thomas Jefferson) from the pre-industrial era check out this concept album by Celtachor (Irish black folk metal) called Fiannaoicht:
I'm a sucker for quality, sophisticated synth/electropop, so I've been really enjoying Kimbra's new album, Primal Heart. Love her voice and songwriting.
My favourites so far; in no particular order: Caroline Rose - Loner Anna Burch - Quit The Curse Ezra Furman - Transangelic Exodus Anna von Hausswolff - Dead Magic L.A. Salami - The City Of Bootmakers
I listened to the L.A. Salami album today. I think I'd have liked it better without the political lyrics and the guy's voice was a bit annoying for me. The music seemed decent, though.
And what are your thoughts on new A Perfect Circle album? I think it's a real grower, was a bit confused at first but after couple of spin I like it more and more. "The Doomed" might be the best song of 2018 for me so far...
My faves so far, a running, ever changing list: Sleep "The Sciences" Shame "Songs of Praise" The Breeders "All Nerve" Acid Dad "Acid Dad" Cabbage "Nihilistic Glamour Shots" FACS "Negative Houses" Ty Segall "Freedom's Goblin" No Age "Snares Like a Haircut" Preoccupations "New Material" Shopping "The Official Body"
Wow, seventy-minute ambient rock masterpiece. My favorite part is the "breakdown" on track seven. I had never heard of this band until just now. After a few listens, it sounds like an album of the year candidate.
Based on Shopping and Preoccupations, both are great, I decided to check the rest of your list. Have only got to Acid Dad so far but wow, this album is phenomenal! Thanks so much.
