Recent Digs
Been looking around sites such as this and RYM for new music to rlisten to. Feedback will be appreciated!! |
| 1 |  | Lotus Plaza
Spooky Action At A Distance
I loved Desire Lines from Halcyon Digest and this is more of the same. One
of my early contenders for AOTY |
| 2 |  | Death Grips
The Money Store
How crazy is this! Didn't think too much of Ex Miltitary but this is immense! |
| 3 |  | Pepe Deluxe
Queen of The Wave
Quite possibly the best pop album since Illinoise (bold statement I know)
but I am loving this! |
| 4 |  | Unwound
Leaves Turn Inside You
This is hard work to properly get into. I've given it repeated listens and it is
improving, but it just feels too long and some of the songs (Look a Ghost)
tend to grate on me. Am I missing something? |
| 5 |  | Miles Davis
A Tribute to Jack Johnson
This is just genius, I mean Miles is the man and all that! |
| 6 |  | Jefferson Airplane
Surrealistic Pillow
'Today' is heavenly! |
| 7 |  | Jack White
Blunderbuss
I did not like the White Stripes at all! But this is one of THE albums of the
year so far. A very pleasant surprise! |
| 8 |  | Julia Holter
Ekstasis
Just started listening to this after it being on my iPod for months! Definite
grower! |
| 9 |  | Actress
R.I.P
Just waiting to give this a listen but I have high expectations for this! |
| 10 |  | Frank Sinatra
Watertown
One of Frank's moody ones. An absolute gem! Definitely up there with
...Only For The Lonely and ...Wee Small Hours. |
| 11 |  | Grimes
Visions
At one point earlier this year was looking to be the runaway AOTY but after
an insane amount of listens I appear to have burnt it out. Still top 5 atm
however. It's the future after all! |
| 12 |  | BADBADNOTGOOD
BBNG
That Zelda medley! Just waiting to give BBNG2 a listen. Hoping for similar joy. |
| 13 |  | Anais Mitchell
Young Man in America
Joanna Newsom gone country? This is a nice little album, not as good as
Hadestown but may well be after repeated listens! |
| 14 |  | Japandroids
Post-Nothing
Been giving this a respin while waiting for album number 2! Such a great
summer album to blare out the stereo. |
| 15 |  | My Bloody Valentine
Loveless
Looking forward to hearing the remasters that are out soon, not sure if
they leaked yet. Stone cold classic! |
| 16 |  | Neil Young
On The Beach
Previous listens did not do this justice at all what an album! One of his
finest albums. |
| 17 |  | Nick Drake
Bryter Layter
I've been ill recently and feeling like death.. Popped this album in to the CD
player and everything was all fine again seemingly. Grown up with Nick
Drake and Tim Buckley so their albums will always play a large part in my
life. |
| 18 |  | Robert Rich
Somnium
This is one hell of a listen. Being laid up in bed all day with nothing to do
was the perfect excuse to finally try this out. Emotionally devestating, what
a trip! |
| 19 | | Easy Star All-Stars
Dubber Side of The Moon
Sacrilege I know but get ready... Better than the original! |
| 20 |  | Royal Trux
Twin Infinitives
One of the greatest albums of all time! Anyone know of anything like this or
near this kind of genius? Not Beefheart or Zorn though please, I am well
versed in them :) |
