It's somewhat played out here on /mu/, but I have to mentioned Phil Elverum/Mount Eerie's release A Crow Looked At Me. To me, this is the best album to come out in 2017 so far. It's hauntingly beautiful, with songwriting that is so personal it feels wrong to listen to. Overall though, it's not an album for everyone, but for anyone that has dealt with loss, this record was fantastic.

Good list, nice to see GT Ultra at the top. I really need to get on listening to that shackleton, and I should give Mixtape IV more listening to, though I don't know if that 2nd track is ever gonna grow on me. that first one is great tho. oh and what's the deal with Laurel Halo, is there a full leak out now or is it still missing the last track?

>>73238609

I'm kind of digging Moh Lhean. Especially in comparison to the last two pieces of trash.

>>73240645
that's a good start

based on your taste, you'd probably like:
Father John Misty - Pure Comedy
Mac DeMarco - This Old Dog

Really don't understand what people hear in KGLW, Sun Kil Moon, or ESPECIALLY Pure Comedy.

As a fan of both Sun Kil Moon and FJM, I really found these albums disappointing. It doesn't feel like Mark is putting almost any effort into his music anymore, just making what he makes and slapping it onto what seem to be mostly unedited albums (I mean, did this really need to be more than 2 hours long?)

And Pure Comedy, idk, maybe it's just me, but I don't understand what the appeal is. Music is at best unchallenging, at worst insulting; there are no hooks or interesting melodies to speak of, which means it's all about the lyrics. And the lyrics are incredibly disappointing, too. It's one thing to regurgitate the same suburban, upper-class angst about society that you encounter in high school literary magazines across America, but it's another thing to not even articulate it in an interesting way. The album still has moments, but with how indulgent it is, those moments are drowned in an ocean of piano parts so insipid they wouldn't even have flown in the 70's. I'm tempted to describe the music on this album as feeling "exsanguinated", but honestly it's hard to imagine it ever having been sanguine in the first place. truly confused how anyone could like this album, not even joking.

Nice list, I've been really surprised by the Penguin Cafe album myself.
