A Pamyu 2013.5

The year started out pretty bad but turned out to be just as good as last year around June/July. The J-Pop releases on here are all absolutely essential. Lots of techno-ish stuff that I enjoyed as well as a couple genres I didn't really touch on before. Of the big releases that aren't covered on here I enjoyed Daft Punk and to an extent Autechre. The rest was mehh or bad. Except for The Knife, that one I didn't listen to yet. 4.5: 3. 4: 14. 3.5: 35.
52Fearless Leader
Half Dead


Math-Rock / Post-Hardcore . elephantREVOLUTION recommended me this. Typical
bandcampcore, except good. http://fearlessleader.bandcamp.com/
51A City Sorrow Built
Motions


Screamo / Post-Rock . BlueW's Band. Won't change Screamo for years to come but
is a worthwhile addition to a genre I like. And it's free so get it

38Omar S
Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself


Deep House . Each Track for itself is incredible but it's a bit long overall.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRbk4djczcY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV2IkSpRPtU
35Ensemble Pearl
Ensemble Pearl


Drone . Sunn O))) / Boris mix playing slow, droney stuff. Who would've guessed
that. I can hear more of a psychedelic edge on here though than on the Boris LPs
I've listened to so far so that's pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=h9XQTGJHDY4
34Bvdub
At Night This City Becomes the Sea


Ambient Techno . This isn't liked around here or on RYM but I really enjoy it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbzrvq6Nh74
33Container
Treatment


Techno . Not as good as other Techno stuff from this list but still very much a
banger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx6he432dws
32Naomi Chomsky
Iron Bird Meditation


American Primitivism / Folk . Music to meditate to. Duhh.
http://kiksgfr.bandcamp.com/album/iron-bird-meditation-kiksgfr005
31Clipping
Midcity


Noise / Hip-Hop . Dudes spitting non-sense over noise. Get Money.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5RVbch7rEg
30ENA
Bilateral


Minimal/Dub Techno / Drum and Bass / Abstract . Some of the weirdest electronic
I've heard so far. Extremely minimal. Didn't really enjoy this at first but it's growing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VmgvMQFV6k
29Justin Timberlake
The 20/20 Experience


Pop . I liked this a lot and rated it very highly but if only half of your songs are
actually listenable it doesn't help much that they're god tier. So it dropped quite a
bit. Still a great album. So stop holding that wall, and ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hntD7Xb4TjE
28Ludovico Einaudi
In a Time Lapse


Neo-classical . Not groundbreaking or really spectacular, just nice to listen to.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsEKfdv_kkg
27Emptyset
Material


Dark Ambient / Drone . Just gotta love those dudes. Even though this falls off a bit
compared to their other works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDAktJ3uTLY
26Naibu
Fall


Drum and Bass . Fun DnB EP. Probably underrating this quite a bit actually.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Q6RWYFZ7g
25Anne Guthrie and Richard Kamerman
Sinter


Field Recordings / EAI . Origami sends me right to drool central. Nothing on YT as
far as I can tell.
24Geskia!
Silent of Light


IDM . For when the light is just very quiet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=A9zkaDHJQas
23Jefre Cantu-Ledesma
Devotion


Drone / Noise . If you are looking for sheer beauty in drones and noise, there you
go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3qluhgMEjM
22Okkyung Lee
Ghil


Avant-Garde / Classical / Noise . Okkyung Lee makes noisey stuff with her Cello.
This album is her worst by quite a bit in my opinion, better check out 'Nihm' first if
you are interested. http://youtu.be/vv9Wv6YnL44
21Felix K
Flowers Of Destruction


Drum and Bass / Abstract . Took me a bit to like it. Hard to understand what's even
going on at first, but gets better with every listen.

20Julianna Barwick
Nepenthe


Ambient . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr0_RvJZNbo Full album with time
signatures, check One Half
19Colin Stetson
New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light


Avant-Garde Jazz . What are they doing on sputnik today? "The 15 minute title
track raised the standards of the whole thing to such heights it all imploded into
one mediocre album." I don't completely agree with Baseline - this is still a very
good album - but she has a point. Titletrack is far better than the rest.

18Soap and Skin
Sugarbread


Darkwave / Art-Pop . Hope to hear more from her in 2013.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xUFjl8LzmY
17Volor Flex
Unlit


Dubstep . Extremely well-crafted wubs. This stuff often gets boring on album
length, but Volor Flex manages to keep it interesting.

Screamo . Screamo of the straight kind. NYP: http://delossucks.bandcamp.com/

Asteroids/Over My Head


Dubstep . 8.3 Best New Sub-bass Wankery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=yzXxZppdvbQ
13Gobby
Fashion Lady


Techno . Straight forward Techno with a bit of a noise/industrial-ish edge like the
stuff Blawan/Karenn put out. According to Maestro del Tornado his other stuff is
also very good, but haven't listened yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=eUZEubKp-o4
12Etsuko Yakushimaru
Radio Onsen Eutopia


J-Pop . Very different to the electronic heavy approach of Nakata or what Momoclo
are doing. When I listened to this I wanted to 5 it after the first song. The rest of
the album was somewhat disappointing as a follow-up to Noruniru though and only
after giving it a second chance just now I realised how good it is overall. If you
click on any of the sample links, please let it be this one. SOTY.

doing noisy Percussion + Synth stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=1TWO4j1TU3M
8Momoiro Clover Z
5th Dimension


Art Pop . This dropped quite a bit for me ever since I stopped going all crazy
everytime I listen to it and started realizing that the production is beyond awful.
Instead of Album of the Century this is just another 4, R.I.P.

and if you haven't tried yet then what are you even doing in 2013.

3Sorrow (UK)
Dreamstone


Garage . Sorrow improved on his style in just the right way. Definitely bleeps of the

1Ling Tosite Sigure
i'mperfect


Indie Rock / Post-Hardcore . It doesn't matter what they do, it's going to be
amazing. My avg Ling Tosite rating: 4.5. Some fucker on /mu/ called them generic
j-rock. I got all anal ravaged and put them on 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
