2014 Stuff You're Missing

Some of the best stuff I've heard this year that y'all fools have missed/ignored...
1Anubis
Hitchhiking To Byzantium


Absolutely amazing neo-progressive or "cinematic rock" album from Anubis, who seem to be on a permanent creative high. Could be their best
album, yet almost completely unknown. The level of emotion and virtuosity of the guitarists is astounding. Takes a few listens to grow, but once it
does... Edit: THIS IS AOTY MATERIAL EVRYONE NEEDS TO HEAR IT

2Messenger
Illusory Blues


Brilliant progressive folk rock debut from this British trio. http://svartrecords.bandcamp.com/album/illusory-blues
3Motorpsycho
Behind The Sun


Motorpsycho have always been incredibly prolific, yet never let up the quality - this is a firm statement of a seasoned and masterful band, an
eclectic progressive/psychedelic album with no song that's not stunning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Jr-8XrIfiA
4Dwellers
Pagan Fruit


One of the best blues-rock albums of the year, some ethereal elements in their sound. http://smallstone.bandcamp.com/album/pagan-fruit
5Seven That Spells
The Death And Resurrection Of Krautrock: IO


This is indeed what modern psychedelic music should sound like, two tracks 15+ minutes in length and channelling an eerie Eastern, throat-
singing atmosphere http://seventhatspells.bandcamp.com/
6El Paramo
El Paramo (2014)


Instrumental stoner-rock album incorporating math and post-rock, and isn't that artwork gorgeous? http://elparamo.bandcamp.com/album/el-
p-ramo-2014
7Villagers of Ioannina City
Riza


Greek band fuzing greek folk music with stoner-rock to unique and stirring results. http://vicband.bandcamp.com/album/riza
8Lionize
Jetpack Soundtrack


One of the finest but confusingly unknown hard rock bands of today are still on top form after their previous magnum opus, though I do miss
the reggae elements. http://grooveshark.com/#!/album/Jetpack+Soundtrack/9709133
9The Grand Astoria
La Belle Epoque


Must be Russia's best stoner rock band. This doesn't quite hit the levels of their previous album, but the insane riffs and grooves are still there.
http://thegrandastoria.bandcamp.com/album/la-belle-epoque
10Tumbleweed Dealer
Western Horror


The atmosphere of this instrumental stoner/math/post-rock album is exactly as you'd imagine. You're Riding On a Skeletal Steed through a
Ghost Town in Death Valley. http://tumbleweeddealer420.bandcamp.com/
11Greenleaf
Trails and Passes


Powerful collection of catchy stoner/hard rock tunes from Dozer's main riffer. http://smallstone.bandcamp.com/album/trails-and-passes
12Mars Red Sky
Stranded In Arcadia


Under-appreciated sophomore from France's fuzz-rockers. Let's hope for a masterpiece next time round. http://listenable-
records.bandcamp.com/album/stranded-in-arcadia
13Wishbone Ash
Blue Horizon


One of the best ever British classic rock bands still going strong today with a beautiful and lush statement in the twilight age of their career.
14Hot Action Cop
Listen Up!


They've still got the fever for the flava of enjoyable funk-rock tunes. Their first album in 11 years and only second ever.

15Grand Mexican Warlock
Hell Sweet Hell


Just found this crazy progressive/psychedelic/experimental band from Hungary in the vein of Mars Volta/King Crimson/Motorpsycho. Pretty
unique and eclectic stuff. http://grandmexicanwarlock.bandcamp.com
16Nope
Walker


Instrumental prog/kraut/math/post-rock band from Leeds UK's sophomore has only 4 tracks with 3 over 8 minutes in length. A lush, sprawling
and atmospheric trip. http://obscenebabyauction.bandcamp.com/album/walker
17Brother Dege
Scorched Earth Policy


One of the finest solo blues musicians around, still obscure in the swamps of Louisiana. This must be the only ever "blues mixtape" in
existence... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rozSiTZde4
18American Wolf
My Main Sport


After their stunning sophomore, Chicago dream-pop/indie rockers are back with their extremely chill third album which they seem to have snuck
out without anyone noticing. http://americanwolf.bandcamp.com/album/my-main-sport
19Burn The Sun
Crack Of Dawn


Greek stoner rock/metallers release an extremely promising EP. http://burnthesun.bandcamp.com/ Equal amounts Tool, Kyuss and Colour Haze.
20Marblewood
Marblewood


Jam-filled "Floydian" Swiss blues rock band's debut for *free* download. If you wanted to know what David Gilmour's Eastern-influenced
psychedelic blues-rock record would sound like, here you are: http://marblewood.bandcamp.com/
