Nice, it got me going a lot with my taste too. Did you ever listen to Test Department, and if so what did you think? Also I happen to know the guy who owns a large portion of Steve Stapleton's 80's-90's catalog, in the form of the master tapes. He prints all the new cassette tapes of his early stuff that goes on Discogs if I remember correctly. I've gotten very into NWW since being able to buy all that stuff so easily.

Yeah, no doubt. I love most of their discography but the later stuff is king, pretty much Black Light District onward (that is also a great album by the way). Once Jhonn got vocal lessons, their music became far more interesting. Also technology improved so Peter Christopherson and Thighpaulsandra got better toys to play with, so to speak.

Stormzy - Gang Signs & Prayer

I don't know grime well, so this will be a limited review. I can't understand the vocals too clearly, but I don't really care what he's rapping about either way (something about bad boys?), so naturally the beats are most interesting to me...at least in theory. The beats teeter dangerously on cheap GarageBand preset synth patches--the choral backing on "Bad Boys", for instance. I might say some of these are indeed good ideas ("Big For Your Boots") that are weakened by this really sterilized feel--I wished they'd avoided the stock bass and maracas, etc. sounds. Seems to be a pattern here--some good production acumen (eg. the layered pitch-shifted accents on "Big For Your Boots" and "Velvet") that is just utilized with patches that wouldn't be out of place as bumper music on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. "Mr. Skeng" might be most guilty of all this cheap midi-fication.

Again, I don't know grime, so it may be pointless to criticize a naturally formulaic genre as being generic.

4-/10

I have a hunch but I still plead ignorance, so tell me why I'm wrong and it's actually good.

i relate to this album on a personal level because it sounds like a guy who worships liturgy and played guitar and drums for like a week tops

>>71484146
good comments. I'd say you're taking it at face value - both the production and the lyrics are playful rather than for real. he's making fun of those putative 'bad boys' you mention, not claiming to be one. until quite recently it was common to have that 'cheap' production sound in grime. I can't tell you exactly why that is but you would have to understand it as a response to mainstream pop and rap in the same way that lofi, pc music, or 'outsider house' might be - grime is (was) an underground current. so it comes with the territory, but it's not meant to be taken seriously. if anything, the bigger the banger the cheesier the backing.

I'm still working out my thoughts on this one, but I do think the first six tracks are one of the most impressive opening runs I've heard for a while.

>>71484798
Ahhh, see, I was onto something w/ production but didn't know. Good to know

>>71484146
listening to grime for the beats is pointless, it's why I don't like it too much. There's some great rappers but the beats are really generic 9/10 times.

I still can't decide which weekend to attend for this festival. I'd be interested in Jace Clayton, Moor Mother, Gnod, Brötzmann and Einstürzende Neubauten (the last two I've already seen live once) and Silver Apples, Girl Band, This Heat (!!!) and Pharmakon on the second, probably would see Deafheaven and Ben Frost as well. Any input? What would you recommend?

might check this out, it's about time it started changing, I know grime's only broken the mainstream recently but it's been similar shit for years

I think I'd go the first weekend, just for Neubauten
But it'd be annoying to miss Girl band and Silver Apples

absolutely do if you've any interest in grime, it's the most visionary and successful manifesto I've heard for the genre.

>NIN – The Downward Spiral

Trent Reznor was a very edgy guy in 1993 who won a Grammy for saying “fistfuck”, started FBI investigations based off his “snuff” music videos and decided to record his second full-length release in his “Le Pig” studio at the Tate house. He was also drugged up and spent after a conflict-full concert tour. Instead of breaking down, he broke down every single thing that was bothering him and threw it on the record, practically living through every single sound you can find on his second album, The Downward Spiral.

Moreso than his previous efforts, this record amplifies Trent Reznor’s love for the 80s industrial. When I say amplifies, I don’t just mean the strengthening of the influence. I’m talking about cranking those simple crashes and noises from the industrial heyday and making it all sound much harsher, much more aggressive. Starting from the opening Mr.Self-Destruct, you can clearly hear that the record ventures out to the border of sample chaos with incredibly metallic-sounding guitars and doomed synths. The chorus sound brings out anger that is only channeled by the self-reflection in the very quiet interlude, in which the track’s protagonist reminds himself that all this chaos occurs only because he let it happen. The closing tape harks with Belew’s guitar fit together nicely to create a demented loop. What I find so surprising is that Flood, Reznor and Moulder managed to capture the grittiness of the sound on here (and on the rest of the album for that matter) so well that it still manages to sound very fresh.

>>71486293
Reznor balances the rough with angry on the second track, Piggy. A small message to his high-school sweetheart, the track is so much simpler than the opener in terms of instrumentation. You can still hear the contortionist samples playing in the back, but the backbone of the track consists of the drumming and the bass guitar. Reznor actually gives off a very passionate drum performance on this with an eccentric closing section. This is also the first track with the downward spiral theme, performed on the piano right there at the end before transitioning into Heresy.

Borrowing some Nietzsche themes and bestowing anger onto the religious imagery, Reznor writes a song that was apparently a tribute to his paranoia, related to the widespread of AIDS. I still see it more of a song that negates all the blind positivity forced onto people at times, but I can see where Trent is coming from. Once again, there is a clutter of very metallic-sounding guitars and percussion on here + another occurrence of the Downward Spiral theme.

March Of The Pigs is one of the biggest bursts on the album. This one works as an evolution of Wish from Broken EP but I am a huge fan of the quiet bridge, especially in the contrast of the explosiveness during the verses. Interesting note is that Peter Christopherson of Coil directed the one-take shot music video for this track.

Closer was the main single of the album, structured around a kick drum sample from Iggy Pop’s Nightclubbing (that was covered by Reznor eventually, it’s nice maybe check it out sometime?). Very aggressive and sexual lyrically, it ends up feeling masochistic and used up. The key moments for me are the bass line entrance during the chorus and yet another Downward Spiral theme episode at the end. The closing section of the song features more meshed up vocal loops in the back that always fascinate me on this record.

Ruiner emerges from the last keyboard note and launches into an energetic drum machine frenzy. This is my favorite track on the album. Even if you disregard the lyrical content (lots of male genitalia talk, don’t you think?) on here, the moment when the synths launch into the chorus for me is the true power of Reznor’s industrial war machine. It is loud, bombast and unforgiving. To add onto this all, I have to say that the solo from this track is fucking nuts. The lo-fi tone of the guitar is a perfect fit for its melodic simplicity. As it disintegrates, Reznor gives way to a final march before cutting it off abruptly with the next track.

The transformation does continue on The Becoming. Throwing out all the senses and letting the paranoia settle in, the protagonist is going through a metamorphosis. From what I know, most bash this song for its lyrics but I think they fit the general theme of the downward spiral well, illustrating a stage of an attempted emotional abandonment. While the main driving force is this piano riff that is painted against slowed-down screams in the back, what I love the most is the moment of clarity the protagonist has in the form of an acoustic interlude right before it all goes back to hell. The ending features a reprise of this soft section, but it doesn’t last for too long because it fades into the next track.

63KB, 816x544px

>>71486319
Title of the track expresses protagonist’s disappointment with everything that surrounds him in life. I Do Not Want This, upon reflection, is an expression of concealed anger that gets more and more open as the song progresses. It starts off with quiet singing, goes through moments of internal contemplation (presented with the radio-like distortion) and a final explosion of anger regarding everything the subject of the piece wants to do. Most importantly, “something that matters”.

The anger explodes into the angriest and most primal part of the album. “Big Man With A Gun” is just a very short blast of pure “manliness” and frustration. The imagery is self-explanatory with the track getting noisier and noisier. The fast synth riff gets replaced by Reznor’s shouting about his “gun” and loud growls from the guitar. It collapses upon itself and gives way to a major shift of the album.

A Warm Place is the pivotal moment where anger towards the outer pathogens is replaced with a depressive state of self-loathing. An ambient piece (that’s basically a Bowie rip-off, but never mind that) is the fresh breath this album really needed up until this point.

The depression I mentioned above lets loose on Eraser. A creeping introductory passage that sounds like moans is broken by drums, synths and a very sinister set of string bends. The abrupt switch from the overloading chaos that is formed by these components to a ticking sound of a metronome with Reznor’s calm vocals is sublime. Track ends in another industrial war machine attack of synths, distorted guitar, uneasy percussion and Reznor’s proclamations of self-hatred.

>>71486331
The theme continues on the following Reptile. Another set of quiet threats during the introduction is blasted open with a powerful shot of a drum machine. Some backwards screams are thrown in for the measure as well. I guess this track has a place to pinpoint the self-hatred – sexual frustration. Works interestingly enough a couple of tracks after the braggadocious “Big Man With A Gun”. The track doesn’t try to amplify the setting too much and remains at a fairly same level of menace throughout its entirety.

The title track is born out of a broken loop, right before the main theme of the album is performed on an acoustic guitar. It appears as a front-center instrument very rarely on this album. When it does though, it sounds incredibly fragile. The small refrain after the theme sounds incredibly out of tune, as it should be at this stage of the album. The section ends with a set of looped screams from Reznor while he goes through suicidal contemplations over the main theme reprise. This is the peak of the album’s self-hatred, as the soundscapes appears to be blurring into noise until all is silent and nothing but a wind reverberation remains.

The suicide leaves the listener on the final note of Reznor’s industrial opera. “Hurt” is possibly Trent’s most well-known song, even though it was popularized through Johnny Cash. I’d say that the emotional state of the track is so powerful, honest and relatable that I am not surprised by how it was easily adopted for a slightly different strain of an overall theme. This track is quiet, with the little F note thrown in that perfects the note progression. The final note is really depressing. The protagonist realizes that no matter what would happen in a “different live”, he would still be himself and it would take numerous efforts to reach some sort of balance in his life. One could see it as a self-reflection after a botched suicide attempt, but I personally don’t think that is the case

>>71486349
Considering the fact that the production hasn’t aged a bit and that it was all conceived/brought to life by Reznor with little assistance (I mean having Flood/Moulder is huge, but Trent is the core of the whole thing), this has to be one of the biggest successes in industrial music. It also managed to grasp a huge crowd of listeners thanks to all the live shows and publicity preceding the release. If there ever was an album that deserves all the fanboying and hype, I would definitely say that this one has good reasons to be surrounded by both.

10/10

1999 - What Is Loved Will Never Die

track one is a nice single piano track, typical intro-style, but it's peaceful and nice. called january i'm assuming because it was written then and also because it's the first track. i don't like the abrupt cutting off of the track at the end though, it's too loud, makes me jump every time. chicago - new york (track 2) i don't like very much. mostly because the mixing is fucked, the vocals are too loud and the guitar track is too quiet, although it's somewhat resolved in the end when whatever fuckin instrument comes in (keyboard i'm assuming). i probably would have done two guitar tracks so it sounds less muddy when you turn it up. i like the sirens in track three, and it also debuts rocky's falsetto which reads as a grills voice (not a bad thing at all desu, although it is a little squeaky). lyrically it kinda echoes california song, at least in the feel of i'm in love with my best friend and they don't feel the same way. "you set ablaze the room with what you planned to be; i swore I’d tell no one the things that you told me" like that feel when you're exhausted but you can't fall asleep because everything is all too funny in the dark at 4am. reminds me of being a kid, and caffeine. oh but it's also one of the most catchy songs on the album imo, i dig the vocal melody, almost reminds me of the avett bros for some reason. into the sun is a track i could do without, although it does have some cool noises near the end. kinda the format of NMH, make a simple base for a song and then put some noise on that bitch when you get bored. anyways so track 5 california song is my second favorite on the album. it's also the longest, and (i think) one of the more serious ones (but then again maybe i just don't fully understand the other's lyrics). the tempo is perfect, the progressions (as far as layering) is perfect, it's chill and you forget it's three minutes real quick. lyrically it hurts and that's all i'm gonna say.

february follows the steez of january, guess rocky decided intros and interludes were kewl but outros were ghey, and i kinda agree. oh but yo you should've strung together the songs better, california song ends real abruptly and it would've taken just a minute to string it into february. vocally you're falling into the habit of jumping up to notes on the scale (usually one octave up from what you're singing), like if it were a continues representation it would be a line of the solid note and then a quick little quarter pipe jump up at the end, then back to the solid note. you do it with the low end somewhat as well, but more subtly. like you fall slightly below the root note (not a half step by any means, just a slightly lower freq) when you start a new bar with the same metre, and THAT i can't even complain about, it's a nice way to keep the song fresh line-to-line (although others might just say your voice is whiney, but i've heard your chest voice and it surely is not) (jesus that run on sentence tho). track seven is another one i could do without, it just feels too easy to me musically. lyrically i love it and have a few questions. like edelweiss as in the plant? or the showtune? and it kinda resonantes this feel of hermitage, with imagery that reflects the changing of seasons (probably vamping up for march--december thematically). what is loved will never die cunts. track eight is real catchy and nice but what can i say about a thirty second song anyways? track nine is nice to hear rocky throat voicing some slower melodies, and idk what fuckin effects you ran that keyboard through but i dig it a lot, reminds me of sleep party people or something (timbre at least). lyrically it sounds like ya boi finally got over the three cunts from the first half of the album, in a learning to hate you as a defense mechanism type way.

>>71486800
track ten is a further progression of this, like the bitterness backed off slightly and was replaced with THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU. what did you mean by cotton in my mouth though? isn't that some southern reference i should get? anyways so the final track is my favorite on the album. i'd like to hear the story behind the track's title too, all i know is that brendan is the producerbro. lyrically it reminds me of hinduism with the almond milk and the spittle lip mixed with a nice touch of high school angst in the final lines. musically it REALLY reminds me of the stars fell on alabama, with a return of the sirens lul. incidentally cb asked why i was blasting the mountain goats while reviewing this so it's not too inaccurate i guess. it's just that vocal timbre on the falsetto man, sounds like it was recorded on an answering machine, i love it.

>>71486818

overall it's nothing incredibly special, but that's the point. this isn't the opus magnum rocky's been working on for the past year or so, it was just some new material he wanted to flex on for the time being. sure it has a few tracks i could skip but hey they're all under 2 mins so i just let the whole thing play most times. indiefags if you're a fan of lofi folk-inspired shit then def give it a listen, even if you hate it it clocks in at like 20 mins. i can honestly say it doesn't drag at all, which i usually say about everything, so it's a success in my eyes.

side note put the fucking title to the album on the cover what were you thinking. also side note sorry if i go from speaking to the reader to speaking directly to rocky i know i flip flopped a few times here.

>>71486349

hey I'm back. I've got a freeform chart this time. I hope to fill it with Good Stuff.

"The year is 1970; two people set out to create a record that deserves to be heard. Ana Maria Bahiana and Jose Mauro."

So go the first minutes of Jose Mauro's Obnóxius, an album that rivals the infectious and introspective jazzy/orchestral folk stylings of Five Leaves Left and Scott 3. Perhaps a Brazilian answer to these records, Obnóxius stands both as a monolith album on its own.
The production, courtesy of label boss Roberto Quartin; and arrangements, courtesy of Lindolfo Gaya (most famous for helping arrange Nara Leão's 1964 eponymous album as well as MPB4's debut album), remain as stellar as ever, not just leaving room enough for Mauro's beautiful voice, which is the bare minimum a good folk rock arrangement should do, but also elevating the music to another, higher plane of existence. I loved the vintage, sepia-tinted production but also liked how it still looked towards the future with bright eyes.
The lyrical content of this album I cannot comment on, despite (or maybe because) me having rudimentary knowledge of the Portuguese language. I know that the lyrics were fairly controversial, but even if they were, the music itself does not betray anything but faint uneasiness.

8/10, perhaps 9/10 on a good day

Listened to some bits and pieces of the album, a bit too lo-fi for my taste but I might listen to it next morning.

>James Carr - The Dark End Of The Street
Apart from Carr's incredibly soulful voice there's something about the production I can't put my finger on, it's just a fantastic sound. Sadly seems like the producer didn't do much else though. Cropper might be becoming one of my favourite guitarists. 4/5

>Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Wonder's smooth style of soul/funk ain't for me. I did enjoy parts but I can't really see myself revisiting this one. 2.5/5

>Organised Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda
Well this is quite good. The beats are brilliant but the rapping is fucking amazing, maybe the best ever? The lyrics are one thing but their flow is so good, Pharoahe's verse on Bring It On is ridiculous, and the way they bounce off of eachother and the beat is fantastic. There's barely a missed beat between the jazzy production and two MCs at the top of their game. 4.5/5

You've convinced me to finally get round to listening to NIN, look out for my 2 sentence review telling you why yours is right or wrong!

grapes of wrath would be a lot better without a main cast. or characters. or anything that isn't vague road anecdotes.

>>71488499
The book about human camaraderie would be better without the human camaraderie, huh?

>>71488566
yeah more or less. you can have the characters in there, but the best chapters are the ones where it steps back to give a wider view of the events. there probably should still be some stuff with the family, but it feels claustrophobic. i guess that's the intent in a way, but it could have been executed better imo.

>>71488639
The claustrophobic intent, yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying. I just think it perfectly presents a world view better than any other book I've read and that it wouldn't have the same effect if it weren't filled with the minor interactions and displays of humanity on the road and in the camps. Hate that this descriptor is now overused, but it really is deeply human

>>71488720
yeah it's a very personal book. i do like the characters, and it captures an amazing atmosphere. i just want more atmosphere. i'm probably just greedy. decent book either way.

>>71488769
No doubt, I'm projecting but I really think it 'captures what it's all about.' You read any other Steinbeck. What you're talking about sounds more like East of Eden

>>71488769
hello friendly boi

how are you you friendly boi

>>71488814
>The novel was originally addressed to Steinbeck's young sons, Thom and John (then 6½ and 4½ years old, respectively). Steinbeck wanted to describe the Salinas Valley for them in detail: the sights, sounds, smells, and colors.
yeah i'm into that. thanks for the rec.
>>71488831
good. about to be gym boy in a few minutes.

>>71488045
Good stuff, totally agree with you on Carr and Organized Konfusion. Extinction Agenda is one of my favorites because Pharoahe Monch is just a such an awesome lyricist.

Bummed you didn't like Innervisions though, it's so consistent imo

>>71488922
I thought I'd like Wonder going in but a lot of it sounded very dated. Dated's a shit criticism but that 70s smooth synthy mix of funk and soul just left me cold, I found it pretty soulless. I think I'm gonna give it another go soon though.

>>71489133
No I definitely see that with his music. I feel like it's actually kind of a common criticism. I just never thought the dated production made Wonder's music any worse, idk

>Ata Kak - Obaa Sima
"dooby dooby, a scooby dooby dooby dooby"

It's one of those cases of "the character is more interesting than the content" for me. The origin story for this is fantastic, and i love how happy and enthusiastic Ata Kak is and how lo-fi this sounds but really it's just some okay dance tracks with some good ideas that, if better developed or explored, could've led to a better album. Still had some fun with it, but to me it was just another random oddity to go "huh thats weird" at and listen to once and go on with my life.

That was a very rude review desu i still liked it and the backup vocals were good

Obaa Sima is the epitome, to me, of hip-house, which is pretty cool, desu. Glad you enjoyed it, even a little :)

>album is 30 minutes
>has 13 songs
oh boy this is another indie folk/rock "lo-fi" album full of half baked songs that go nowhere

>>71489588

Pretend it's yesterday

VA - Shades of Gospel Soul (1969)
>Soul, Gospel
This definitely gives off a vibe that it's just a collection of early Motown singles that probably didn't sell too well. And it should cause that's pretty much what it is.
For all it's worth though, there are some standout moments, and all in all it's a decent record. I tend to agree with nat that it lacked some of the fire that older gospel singers have, but I wouldn't say it was totally devoid of passion, there are still some tracks that really light it up and lift the spirit to the lord.

>The Motifs - Cross Paths
Cute without being too saccharine twee pop. I feel like it walks a fine line without veering into obnoxious im so indie it hurts territory. Earns its lo-fi aesthetic and the melodies are impressive and catchy as hell. I think it's impossible to really hate this record. Also made me realize that Matches is really a collection of all their best tracks (at least the ones I like the most) so honestly I'll just stick to listening to that instead.

>Morita Doji - Mother Sky
This is super pleasant japanese chamber folk with some psych elements.
The lush and varied arrangements of wind and string instruments are the highlight here, complementing the singer's light, airy voice really well.
I love it when the vocals are the focus yet there is still so much going on in the background.
I'll see how much I come back to it in the future, perhaps my rating could go up as I really have no issues with this record.

>Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Ecophony Gaia
I'm kind of at a loss for words on this one. It's tribal ambient with elements of new age synth and dance music. It's a treat to listen to as the pieces are long, melodic, and meditative. However, the record overall fails to grab me in any emotional way like I thought it would. It meanders way too much with all this build up and very little tension or catharsis. Also, some of the combinations of electronic beats and tribal music comes off as extremely kitschy in a bad way.

Their AKIRA soundtrack is much better as far as emotion and tension is concerned, but I could be biased because I also adore the movie.

>Alex G - Race
look at me im a bandcamp lo fi indie musician and i make pop songs that half the time barely reach the two minute mark listen to me nasally sing my high school lyrics notebook and rape your ears every time i pronounce a hard P while i strum my guitar

some of the more fully fledged tracks like Crab, Trash, and Race are actually pretty good and if he'd have put as much effort to the rest of the album as he did with those this would make for a solid album. There really is a good album in here, but sadly Alex's pointless desire to be low fie kills it. It's very obvious he's doing it on purpose! Crab and Race seem to (or at least give the impression to) be professionally recorded and almost all of the drumming in the record sounds crisp. I really want this purposely lo-fi trend to die already.

@ guy who said this was one of his favorite albums and told me to not skip it, :^|

>Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies

Probably my favorite Destroyer album (even though every one I've listened to has been a 3.5). There were some awesome piano moments on here, and I felt like it was all pretty lush. Still not a huge fan of his voice though.

3.5/5

>>71491643
I like buying physical of things I like to 1) make up for the fact that I steal all my music and actually support music I enjoy and 2) having something physical of an album I enjoy is fun and so is collecting them. If a cassette is the only way I can physically buy an album then so be it :p

As someone who has a few hundred vinyl, it also isn't really "practical" nor is the quality really guaranteed/permanent.

Continuing my streak of angry reviews is, unexpectedly......

>Plan B - House of Pleasure
>Reggaeton
I'd hate to write another 2 part review that no one is going to read, but this I wanna talk about. Massive disappointment, you guys let me down. References to older work, tired boring beats with cheap latin influences, a lot of it has this horrendous, dated feel. Like very very obvious 2009 style of popular electronic music going on. There's also a song where they very obviously sped up their voices so they could catch up to the beat. Imagine having a flow this weak. These guys really, really cling to their big hit "Guatauba" desperately trying to achieve what they did back in 2002. (They did, though, with "Si No Le Contesto" so I don't know why they KEEP MENTIONING IT EVERY CHANCE THEY GET AND EVEN PLAYED THE DAMN SONG IN THE BACKGROUND DURING THE OUTRO SKIT) The featured artists were pretty weak and don't talk about much else besides the tiring "sex in the discotheque" that they are somehow still doing when at this point discotheques and "los parties de marquesina" (basically a house party but in the garage/patio mostly) were pretty much dead in Puerto Rico and had been essentially replaced by regular parties at locales or just taking a girl to your house to fuck. They were also lame has-beens that have no place along the big guys making their comeback. Maybe they were trying to catch the comeback wave as well.

The big hit from the only album is fantastic and probably the only noteworthy thing to pick up from the album. Well, that and the Caligula reference a featured artist made. It pains me to rate them this low.

Antônio Carlos Jobim - Wave (1967)
>bossa nova

Flat easy listening, but enjoyable easy listening. There's not a sour note on this thing, which occasionally works against it, but it makes for a nicely enjoyable instrumental bossa nova album. Jobim's a masterful instrumentalist and arranger, but his songs rarely elicit any emotional response due to not being so engaging. He's great at easy listening tunes, but not so great at making something that really sticks with the listener. When taken as an easy listening album, it's cool stuff.

DJ Screw - June 27th (1996)
>chopped and screwed, gangsta rap

Screw's take on g-funk, it doesn't get much smoother than that. Doesn't get me quite like All Screwed Up because I'm still not that huge on g-funk as a genre, but Screw's take on it makes the songs here ten times better, perfectly hazy and lethargic. The chops and screws sound so natural, like they're just part of the song. Somehow, Screw always manages to make these songs his own despite the minimal work he does to them, which is absolutely his greatest skill as an artist, and this is perfectly on display here. The forty-minute long freestyle is the biggest draw here, and it really is spectacular. All the rappers are great, the beat is outstanding, and Big Moe lays down the hook like no one else besides him can. Stays interesting and enjoyable for forty-minutes, which is a feat that some ten-track albums can't even accomplish. Great, /great/ tape.

Definitely miley cyrus. Her album with the flaming lips pushed in that direction. I can't help but imagine her continuing to make music that matches her image.

>Insect Warfare - Noise Grind Power Death

HOLY SHIT ANOTHER ONE.

One of my favorite albums of all time is The Gerogerigegege - Instruments Disorder. This reminded me sooooo much of that album. I fucking love the small interlude (three drum stick hits in this album, the "ONE TWO THREE FOUR" in Instruments Disorder) -> go fucking ham -> repeat, when it comes to noisecore and grind shit. It's so hatefully cathartic.

5/5

Xiu Xiu - FORGET
>Hmmm

Man, the opener was really promising, and it just got better from there.

“Queen of the Losers” legit made me do a mini trip (you know that turning, sightless sensation you get from acid and weed?—No joke) for that bit when the synthesizer slips gears from that kitschy sort of tribal industrial to noise-synth pop combo orgy at 1:10. Like what the fuck was that, holy shit. No shit.

Anyway, Xiu Xiu does explore synth pop more wholeheartedly on this record. Substantially different from their usually pseudo-abstract noise pop, songs like “Wondering” are built around a strong, driving groove. Also, the usual musique cogrète-sounding instrumentation has been updated with synthesizers and a lot fuller, more produced, sound. Xiu Xiu never loses that raw, emotional edge though. Songs like “Get Up” are stark reminders, even if more accessible than not. I like how Jamie plays with the tropes of his own singing style on songs like that—just when he would surely do his spine-chilling, voice-cracking shriek, his yelp dissolves into reverb bliss.

The industrial shuffling beat and eventual tension mount, combined with that especially ear-gasmic vibrato quiver really elevate “Hay Choco Bananas” which is so close to being repetitive and aimless. “Petite” is also particularly cool, with the wacky string arrangements. But the closer, “Faith, Torn Apart”—what a closer. The song treads over the now familiar tribal beat sound, but incorporates a cool, shimmering backbone which lends a strong air of psychedelia to the track. The female vocalisms over the track are also particularly striking.

I find it interesting how the album opens with weird shouted/spoken word and ends with calm spoken word—and what a chilling ending it is.

was really happy with this release as well. i'm a fan of Knife Play to La Foret era Xiu Xiu, so the 2010s have kind of left me stranded, at least until Angel Guts, and now of course this. Get Up is an incredible track. Hay Choco Bananas makes me feel something... weird. It's the indescribable sense of familiarity, perhaps i've heard some song with a similar melody? genuinely wondering if anyone else gets that vibe.

Tafese Tesfaye - Zemana Getem Derasi
>Ethiopian Church Music
Godamn there are so many bizarre, completely obscure, niche regional music styles that are so out there and isolated.
First off this record reminded me of another obscure regional folk style from thailand called Lam Klawn. Reminiscent in that all the songs are in one key, only one chord, one basic rhythm, and are both solo vocal with some strange instrument that makes sound unlike any other.
While Lam Klawn is very shrill and energetic, and definitely wears on your ears after extended listening, this Ethiopian Christian music is deep and hypnotic. The instrument is an unidentifiable string instrument, possibly plucked, but has a resonance similar to that of a bowed cello. It's extremely intriguing.
The singers voice is very calming, grandpa-esque.
This record is repetitive as shit though, idk if I could handle another 15 minutes of what is ostensibly the same exact song over and over.
I'd love to know more about the background of this music, what is the culture surrounding it? How did it form? it's very fascinating.

New Jandek out today bitches!

Have been listening to a lot of longer albums and have had less free time, thus the big gap between reviews lately, not that anyone cares.

>ၼၢင်းၼၢင်း - လက်ရေးစဉ် ဝေားများ
This shit crashed my scrobbler twice in the same day. Idk what it is with me and east-Asian music, but I fucking adored this. I'm sure this is a really dumb comparison to make, but I was really reminded of the guitar work of Mac Demarco and other modern "jangle" artists, except with a lot more direct, interesting, and gratifying songwriting that created a really unique flair. Would be up for a 10 consideration (I'm still doing a list of those, remember?) if only the recording wasn't so shotty. I usually don't mind, but I don't think the "lo-fi-ness" really serves this style of songwriting as it would elsewhere. Regardless, this was a real joy for me, and I would recommend it to everybody.

>Nicolas Jaar - Essential Mix
This is the fourth BBC Essential Mix I've ever heard, and out of them this is the only one that's ACTUALLY essential. Anyone who can make an N'SYNC song THAT appealing deserves a fucking medal I swear. Speaking of that, the whole section from the N'SYNC song up until Beyoncé's 1+1 (which is one of the songs not really altered to make interesting at all, a real stinker :/) is an amazing selection and distortion of music. I need to hear more DJ Mixes jesus.
8

>Steve Roach - Structures From Silence
Any genre that's "(sub-genre) Ambient" is almost a guaranteed stinker for fishboy. The only track I really didn't get into like the others were "Quiet Friend", and to an extent the first track didn't grip me as much as the B-side, if only for the length of it. For me, not much more than a pleasant, comfy surprise.
7

>Bedhead - Bedheaded
Are these guys "literally 7/10 the band"? That's what it seems like. I find a lot of this slowcore stuff enjoyable, but not much more than a pleasant passing rather than a world I'd live in. The musical equivalent of a nice breeze.

>Lil Ugly Mane - Three Sided Tape Volume One
I really assumed it was just going to be the first half of "Third Side of Tape", and even though I don't recall much of that album, I remember hearing much more about it that I loved than on this tape. It seems to go to all the places that TSoT goes, but feels just as stretched thin in an hour that the former does in two hours. Would rec for anyone REALLY into LUM, but this just didn't amaze me like I assumed it would.
6

>Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation
Even the highly rated s/t track didn't really enthrall me. Rather, the opener, closer, and weirder stuff inbetween is what got to me. A real cool mix of the pop punk-ness of roots punk and the more angular shit, but I would've it rather excelled in either then dabbed in both waters.
6

>Minimal Man - The Shroud Of
When your songwriting is so poor, that even someone who nearly always Stans for post-punk and minimal wave gives you a sub-par score. If you want a more minimal, punk-esque Coil with less interesting songwriting then I guess this could be for you.
5

>George Duke - Feel
George Duke is one of my favorite 70's musicians I can think of off the top of my head. If you need to know why, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mk_nAhdNsQ In his run in the Mothers, he proved himself to be on of the best keyboardists, percussionists, and vocalists the band or the world ever had. Here, however, he uses none of this. It's a pretty subdued, almost "ambient-funk" album with very few groves that actually groove. I really want to like this guy's solo stuff, but so far he's given me nothing to love yet.
4

>Slowdive - Morningrise
This band bores me more every day. Stop auto-reccing me stuff I hate RYM. Death to indie-gaze.

>Fish - Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors
Yamir recced this to me because of the name, and it was really good for neo-prog!

>>71501850
i liked the mix btw
its funny that u put somewhere only we know cover to me bc i used to sing that song with my friend sometimes. i especially liked the songs by vast and pygmy lush. what is le loup? i liked the song but they sounded exactly like grizzly bear

>>71501850
I stopped trying to turn people onto Destroyer. With anything remotely eccentric (esp. voice), people listen to one song and say nah and that's the end for them and they can't look past it. It's like, you ever try to turn someone into Joanna Newsom?

>>71501916
I knew Lily Allen would be a safe pick :)
It's a pretty wintry tune, too. I thought vast and pygmy lush would be good picks too, so I'm pleased you liked them. My friend bought me Le Loup's album Family on my birthday one year. I never heard of grizzly bear but they totally rip off anco. I don't mind though, they got some good songs.

>>71502009
Ah, you shouldn't give up! People love Kaputt. In fact, it was a friend that got me in to destroyer, and it was painter in your pocket, one of the songs with the most distinct vocal performances, that hooked me

>>71502118
I know, I know. Kaputt's the real winner for me. I still think that title track is one of the best songs this decade. I'll be damned if it wasn't a grower for me that took a few listens to find enjoyable

>>71499252
I feel like I've made that same Mac DeMarco comparison before. It's certainly apt

And what brings the score down for me is the general laziness of the songwriting and repetitiveness across tracks. The sound and atmosphere are A+ tho

I feel like Lasagna Cat thinks way out of the box and goes through much more than one would expect of a Youtube channel to display their ideas

take the 1 hour long vid for example

that took some damn effort to make

such a ridiculous and impossible looking idea brought to life by the channel with the help of a wonderful performance by John Blyth Barrymore

I am tempted to say that this is easily one of the greatest things I've seen in any art form and I'm amazed that I can even think about saying something like that so soon

that channel is genius tbqh

mark my words, Lasagna Cat videos will be hailed as classics in the future

even oxen
guided by voices
why lo-fi when you could listen to recordings pre-1960 for the same effect

i got a very sudden urge to make music for some reason so i'm gonna do a little thing and see if it comes out good

i listened to a coltrane today, Transition. it was p great

>>71506628
I gave it a 3 but it's still good stuff

i done goofed so hard, daily...

>>71507636
wot

>>71507278
>tfw my boy co has heard act of tenderness but not public strain
dont shun patty's best project, please

>>71507665
my mom was vacuuming while i recorded so i accidentally made shoegaze

>>71507665
I meme'd myself very very hard
Couldn't find a drummer, thought a drum machine would suffice
After listening to it a few times i was like "yeah this is perfect" and send all the masters to iTunes Spotify, and to get some CDs made
I decided to give it another listen right now and it sounds fucking horrendous like Liturgy levels of dumb mixing electronic and analog instruments

>>71507686
i genuinely laughed, great impersonation of me whoever you are

>>71507672
Yeah been meaning to get to it

>>71507734
oh i'm the guy who's making the cds. thought it was intentional desu. a study in noise kinda pushes it, but i think it works pretty well on the rest of it desu. introduction kinda gives off weird post math rock vibes.
i don't really want to change the digital dl since at this point it would be kinda false advertising. i think it's still kinda interesting, even if it's in a weird way.

>>71507358
Sicc, that's my next Coltrane. Title track is UNDERR8.

>>71507686
Just make sure you credit her on the album and pay royalties.
