Our internet isn't that shit, mate

Yeah nah but they've blocked out certain aus ISPs or something from posting. Which means the only way I can post is by going onto me phone and turning off wifi

>>72981238

Was that due to Aaron?

>>72981433
I finally came around on Power Trip. I think I was just being contrarian because of all the attention it was getting over other Dallas metal albums this year which I think has been a really good year for that city.

Did you really dislike the new Sun Kil Moon/Jesu that much? I gave it a lower score too but still good. I'm just surprised to see it didn't even make your list.

Right now I would say Ambersmoke or Slowdive are my aotysf. I haven't put much effort to find my favourite album yet

Either the new Jlin or new Forest Swords.

>>72982583
ah damn gotta wait then. hearing quarantine without light+space would be a completely different experience, cant take that chance. was it good?

>>72982617
I really enjoyed it. Jazzier than chance of rain, but also incorporates her voice, as well as klein & lafawndah w/ other contributions

>>72982561
Demonseed was the big one for me which came out a few weeks before Power Trip and is admittedly very different so it's kind of Apple's and oranges but still. Recently I was pretty surprised by this band called I Am which again is much closer to Demonseed slam style rather than thrash. Otherwise Dallas has just been doing really well in general with The New Year at the forefront although only one member is still there with everyone else in different states but they're still listing themselves as Texas so Dallas still gets them. Otherwise Partaker is the biggest recent surprise for me which very unfortunately I had to give a 2/5 for a weak side 2 but it's really encouraging to hear a Regulator Watts clone come out of there. On first listen I was shocked it didn't contain a member of regulator watts. I think some other albums too but I'm just going from quick memory. Hopefully Absu will put something out this year to seal the deal.

>>72982614
no offense man but what do you see in this?

>>72982645
ill check those out, thanks

>>72982644
tight, yeah her voice is incredible. im really excited for it. are you into elysia crampton at all?

>>72982667
>elysia crampton
where can I listen to her new ep?

>>72982650
Something about the modern production and the modest simplicity puts it above a lot of old school post punk I've listened to. It feels like she knows she doesn't have to be some weird downed out rockstar to dish out weird downed out tunes. I know this is conceited, but the album to me sounds like if someone tackled electronically produced post punk with some semblance of finesse. If you listened to it and didn't like it, I'd skip the first track. It's really out of place and I don't like it.

>>72982667
loved moth/lake as well as demon city, haven't listened to spots y escupitajo yet

>>72982686
>>72982730
i think theres only a couple of tracks up that are on soundcloud. i only heard one of em which was a 9 minute piano ballad that was great. I'm seeing her live tomorrow at EMPAC which is one of the world's best designed performance spaces for electronic sound. I'm beyond excited.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB1J4o2vT5s

^one of my faves from her

>>72982721
Checked out some of the other tracks and i guess its just not for me, that production style kinda bores me i guess. probably just too simplistic tho, i tend to like a lot of stuff going on

>>72982824
What's your aoty? Tell me about yourself

>>72982840
i dont really know if i have an aoty yet. ive listened to the new klozapin album probably more than anything else and i also have been waiting for new GAS for years so this was pretty awesome to hear narkopop. as for myself i used to be very outgoing and due to schizophrenia and depression and drug problems ive become more reclusive over the last few years living at home and getting a degree and my life back together. i try to enjoy transitory and fleeting moments more than day to day life. i find it hard to understand what people do and why they do it, what they gain from it. ive been coming here for about 7 years and listen to a lot of different music

>>72982919
Hmm
This is a track from one of my other faves of the year. What do you think?

https://theguruguru.bandcamp.com/track/making-waves

>>72982919
>i find it hard to understand what people do and why they do it, what they gain from it.
At the risk of derailment, any particular example?

>>72982250
I personally loved it. Liked it a lot more than Common As Light.

>>72983026
As I recall, there was a lot of musical diversity all done well on CaL which won me over. Also admittedly I had particular expectations for Jesu wanting him to go even a little noisier rather than pulling way back and kind defeating his purpose I think. Although that could be unfair and outright wrong.

>>72983022
social interaction, in particular why people put their honest selves out there and what they gain from doing so. why would someone meet someone new? what do they want from it? how much of their honest and true selves do they release throughout the day, and how does that make them feel?

in all honesty im probably just adverse to being my honest self with people as some sort of defense mechanism since when i failed out of college, i met up with an old high school teacher, who was in a major position of trust having been aware of my mental problems in high school, got me drunk and we had sex. then proceeded to have an affair for about a week but it just really fucked up my ability to trust other people.

>>72982996
not quite my cup of tea. for rock check this out tho, they have a new album coming out soon and rule super hard. https://palmnewyork.bandcamp.com/album/palm-audiotree-live

Could I get some recs?

>>72983080
Yeah I get that. Personally I prefer the prettier side of of Sun Kil Moons output. The instrumentals on CAL (a lot of them) are so drab and sluggish, if find it really hard to get into.

There are moments on 30 secs that I think are up there with marks best. Bombs and Twenty Something are fucking superb.

>>72981433
How's that Pond album? Was thinking of checking it out.

Manga Saint Hilare's Outbursts From The Outskirts is the best grime album of 2017 though.

Is their some particular reason these threads aren't reaching bump limit?

>>72987746
because mu hates actually discussing music, especially new music.

2017 threads always die but there's always 2-3 threads about hot chicks and taylor swifts legs, and a thousand about 70s rock.

>>72987827
Also for example that Perfume Genius thread someone just made could have very easily gone in here.

>>72987913
perfume genius fucking sucks. i only liked his early stuff that was piano shit

>>72987913
people don't check the catalog because they're fucking retarded. It's why there are 75,000 kendrick/kanye threads instead of a hhg anymore.

Script for machine synthesis was really weird. it didn;t click for me

>>72991826
ah yeah that's probably the most annoying one on there, his whole recent material using voice hasn't seemed to be too popular with people but I've had some really great experiences with it.

the khaki blazer album on there is really weird but it's a sort of accessible sort of weird, even though I prefer the hecker album I would recommend that one for anyone looking to get freaky

>>72983188

>>72983495
yeah I was really disappointed in it, I haven't really got into an oM release since Paralytic Stalks, and oh man I love that album, Authentic Pyrrhic Remission is one of my all time favourite tracks, I love it. Rune Husk only got a 5/10 from me, it was disappointing, but not completely awful.

>>72994581
reposting my recs from a previous thread

Brendan Byrnes - Neutral Paradise. Microtonal synthpop. You like microtonal music? This album is amazing, the sounds that this dude has created, I love it.

Hadouk - Le Cinquième Fruit. A nice little jazz album. I don't normally listen to jazz but this was a pleasant surprise, loved this choice of instruments.

Кpacнoзнaмeннaя Дивизия Имeни Moeй Бaбyшки – Пocмepтныe пpиключeния. Russian indie rock album, pretty fun. Nothing amazing but a good album still.
