[Inkvoterad]

Doing another listen of one of my favourite albums from last year. Currently "Resin"
This is their first studio album, combines Kinda Blackgaze-isch i guess. I usually don't really dig clean vocals in metal (especially not as emo-tier as this), but i'm loving this.

Astronoid - Resin
Album: Air

 

[RDreamer]

Got a huge addiction to Gazpacho lately. Their two latest albums that I thought were kind of duds when they first came out finally hit me in a big way. Been listening to them a ton the last week. They're great art rock. Pretty laid back, and they try to use other instruments in their music.

Just found this band called Grails, and this album has been on rotation too. It's cinematic post rock, and I fucking love it.

Also got this in the mail today. It's the guy that was part of one of my favorite rock bands ever, Oceansize. Haven't watched the DVD, but the CD is pretty awesome.

 

[TissueBox]

Wrenching, defeated, full of broken, beautifully scored spirit. Lo, the sad rock album of sad rock albums of recent memory.

 

[Davey Cakes]

The motherfuckin' Time.

Pandemonium

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

groove theory. Good album.

 

[Apt101]

Right now, drunk on cheap wine and rocking Bobby Womack

Woman tryyiiiiing to catch a trick on the street

 

[PillarEN]

I just want to give another shoutout to the guy who showed me the artist Nmesh. Through that artist I found Telepath. I like him/her a lot. And now I've moved to another super chill artist from Finland. Idealism

Here is his Bandcamp page: https://idealismus.bandcamp.com/

He's also on Spotify.

Oh and it's February relevant cause he dropped his second EP this month. Discogs update your shit. RateYourMusic.com as well. How does an artist like this slip through all the cracks that are supposed to make sure music is never lost in the digital age? Databases like these need to be on top of their games for the sake of art history.

 

[Username1198]

Kendrick Lamar

Didn't know who he was until a few weeks ago, and man is maad city and pimp a butterfly awesome. I don't even really listen to rap, I'm more of a Radiohead and metal guy. Maad city is amazing

 

[TissueBox]

Bloom by Beach House

 

[RoaringMdog]

Lots of Hentai Dude and Shiki on soundcloud.
It might be parody rap music, but its damn good.

You can enter new releases on discogs (and RYM too I suppose)

 

[Manzanas]

Bloom by Beach House

Great album. I got into the band late 2015. I was randomly watching Conan, where they performed Somewhere Tonight. It immediately grabbed my interest and my love for the band began.

As for me, I've been listening to Arcade Fire's whole discography again. When they released I Give You Power, it got me in anticipation mode for their new album. Here's hoping they give a release date soon.

I'm lazy and not a member. But really I'm surprised artists don't do this themselves. If I was an artist I would be so proud of my releases and would want to make sure that these archiving sites have me there no matter what happens.

 

[Very Berry Sunday]

The Velvet Underground and Nico. It's like one of the greatest albums I have ever listened to. Loved Nico's vocals on Femme Fatale.

 

[sugarhigh4242]

Priests - Nothing Feels Natural

Nice sloppy, noisy, political punk, equal parts Sleater Kinney and Gang of Four. Came out a month ago.

Well then you have to wait someone less lazy than you to add it. In my experience it's quite rare for a release to not appear at all, maybe the info is minimal but given time most releases get added

Hope!

Oh yeah I've also been listening to random tunes from Ayumi Hamasaki after learning yesterday that she's on Spotify. It takes me back to my heavy Pandora use days. It also takes me a to a very dated style of J-Pop but that in a sense is also what intrigues me on listening to some of the old tunes.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978)

Has to be one of my favorite New Wave albums.

 

[YaBish]

La Caffetteria by o h k o and Saïto

Oh! I'm listening to all of these too, and routinely pumping the new Moiré album, it's amazing. Will probably end up as my AOTY.

 

[Myriadis]

Currently?

Cibo Matto - Stereo Type A is some Art Pop/Trip-Hop/Dance stuff, not as crazy as their previous album Viva La Woman but still mighty interesting. 1999.

Ulan Bator - Vegetale is Post-Rock but not of the crescendocore-type, more like the old Slint-Style Postrock. One of the Members also played for Faust. 1997.
Lumière Blanche

I chuckled at "crescendocore" but actually it's not a bad name at all

Yeah, it's brilliant. Though the dusty lo-fi aesthetic is already starting to wear me out a bit in general, so doubt it will reach the upper top of my year-end list.

 

[Jaroof]

Patiently waiting for the new Thundercat and Oddisee releases coming this Friday.

 

[Carn82]

I'm still catching up on a lot of 2016 stuff, but this one is in high rotation at the moment:

Cranial - Dark Towers, Bright Lights
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1JNYhm7Og3VVDXSPxnCYFj
Check it out if you're into stuff like Omega Massif (ex-OM guitarist is in Cranial), Ufomammut, that sorta stuff).

Checking out that Moiré album now, liking what I'm hearing

 

[beato_angelico]

the Moirè album doesn't sound lo-fi at all

Everytime I see you post in these threads, you're posting the Techno shit that I'm bumping.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

New Thundercat is fire, up on Spotify now. Decent chunk of FlyLo collab tracks too.

I really like Thundercat. Need to try that out.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

I really like Thundercat. Need to try that out.

Listened during my morning commute. Good stuff.

 

[pablito]

Enjoying the Thundercat album a lot more than I thought I would.

Probably gonna try that new Future album later.

 

[see5harp]

Thundercat album has some of the funniest songs. It's almost like he really did write some of this shit drunk. Fairly funky and soulful album and then you randomly hear "Gonna blow all of my money on anime YESSSSS" and then "I think I'm Kenshiro, I think that I'm Goku. Can I just stay one more day?" Friend zone has that line about him wanting to stay home and play Mortal Kombat. I do like him but if I'm really honest some of this shit is just so silly.
