Beluga Whale Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 My top albums so far this year: Angel Olsen - My Woman: Just amazing. Glass Animals - How to be a Human Being: This takes a few listens to get into but I'm really loving this album right now. Parquet Courts - Human Performance: Probably my most played album of the summer. The Avalanches - Wildflower: It's no SILY but the entire album is solid and there's a few songs on there that I absolutely love. Radiohead - AMSP Whitney - Light Upon the Lake: Loved this when it was released but I haven't listened to it much since RHCP - The Getaway - Obviously not as good as earlier works but still a great album. The Head and the Heart - Signs of Light Mitski - Puberty 2: Love her style. Your Best American Girl and Happy are easily two of my favorite songs this year. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree Car Seat Headrest - Teens of Denial: Unique style but I really enjoyed this album Frank Ocean - Blonde Shura - Nothing's Real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I listened to half of Angel Olsen...pretty good. I like a lot of what she has going on. But Mitski is the shiz. Listened to it 3 times today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I even like it more than Viet Cong and I'll probably like it even more after a few more listens. Favorite track is definitely Fever.

Yeah, I love Viet Cong (I think it was my #2 last y ear), but this is even better for me. Fever is a very good song. I still think my favourite is Memory though - I love the transition around 4 mins. That's Dan Boeckner (sp?) from Wolf Parade that takes over on vocals. Super cool. The long drone conclusion will undoubtedly turn some people off, but I love it and how it transitions into Degraded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't recognize the voice but I definitely like Wolf Parade. Haven't heard anything regarding them for a while though. The long drone didn't really bother me. I don't mind that kind of thing if it fits the mood appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumours or maybe more than rumours of wolf parade reunion. i enjoyed wolf parade when they were a thing but I'm not sure I need to hear any more of the same unless it's developed into something. meanwhile Boekner has been involved with divine fits and operators if you didn't know already.

The show is part of a terrible festival that is very expensive (relative to its quality), so no, I will not be going - have to work anyway.

Cpt.Clutch Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Anyone interested in Sothern Rock/Country should definitely check out this band. This album was just released last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Whale Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Listened to Love and Hate by Michael Kiwanuka (Soul/Folk) and it's solid. This song in particular is amazing: Spoiler Also checked out Who Really Cares by TV Girl (indie pop/chillwave?) and it too is a great listen. I REALLY like their sound. It's unique and almost hypnotic. If I had to compare I'd say they're similar to bands like Neon Indian, Frankie Cosmos and Wild Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 kool keith - feature magnetic: not the strongest release from one of the all-time greats. this is (as the title suggests) very feature-heavy, and many of them are just horrendous. some songs are really good though. i love "tired" for example - before the feature. cymbals eat guitars - pretty years: don't think it's amazing or anything, but it's a good album from a very underrated band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 whoaa, new album from Hamitlon Leithauser + Rostam is surprisingly great. Not sure why I doubted this album, when I love both Vampire Weekend and The Walkmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beluga Whale Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown is on Spotify right now. I don't listen to much rap but I'm really liking it so far. Love the atmosphere and instrumentals. Rolling Stone - Really Doe - Lost - Ain't Funny - Golddust is an incredible sequence of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 been meaning to check that out. Danny Brown is a cool guy, but his voice really irritates me after a while. give it a listen later was supposed to go to the Preoccupations concert in Vancouver tonight, but I can't get out of some work sht tomorrow :(((( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
