The first Sniff is the deepest
Another list from your favorite megalomaniac.This year only featuring for me unjammed -18 stuff that I feel needs to be highlighted. Sort of an assorted goods type of deal |
1 | | Eirdh COSMOS ONE - The (Un)known Universe
4.0 [instrumental post metal] dare I say the best album in the genre in January already. If you only listen to one album from this list - make it this one. Teamster comes up with a great rec once again. |
2 | | Locktender Friedrich
4.0 [post metal, screamo] lacking the same punch as their older material upon first listen but boy does it grow on you? |
3 | | Erik Levander Couesnon
4.0-3.5 [dark ambient] celestial disintegrating ambient that is beautiful |
4 | | Profligate Somewhere Else
3.5-4.0 [spooky electronics + poetry] makes for a wondeful mix |
5 | | Persuasion Quatermass
3.5-4.0 [dark techno] with a stady 4/4 house bottom this makes for one of the early great dance friendly releases of 2018 |
6 | | natriums Deja Vu
3.5 [IDM, breaks, downtempo] glimmers of fantastic stuff on display here |
7 | | Ill Natured Twisted Visions
3.5 [metallic hardcore] what Jac said: Sludgy metallic hardcore with grooves for days and a bass tone that could split a continental fault, rules. |
8 | | Omnivox Surrender
3.5 [psytrance] like living a Need for Speed soundtrack |
9 | | Fire! The Hands
3.5 [jazz fusion] as angular as ever |
10 | | Keepsakes Perspectives From A Sterile Hellhole
3.5 [industrial, house] heavy af dance music |
11 | | Centuries The Lights Of This Earth Are Blinding
3.5 [metallic hardcore] has a certain groove that merits a listen or two. |
12 | | Sagor som leder mot slutet II
3.5 [post rock, post metal] instrumental all the way - by the books jams but decent |
13 | | Noorvik Noorvik
3.5 [instrumental post metal] this is the sound of the genre tbh |
14 | | Deszcz III
3.5 [emoviolence, crusty the down] a gem for those into crust with 6th chords |
15 | | The Sun Burns Bright Through Dusk, Came The Light
3.5 [post rock] crescendo core that is worth a spin or two |
16 | | Scallops Hotel sovereign nose of (y)our arrogant face
3.5 [hip hop] slow hip hop for lazy days. By Milo |
17 | | Skymn Biker Scene
3.5 [ambient techno] chill af |
18 | | Closer (US) All This Will Be
3.5 [screamo] the cheesier the better |
19 | | Misha Mishajashvili 2018
3.5 [plunderphonics, industrial] very true to the motherland |
20 | | Keiji Haino and Sumac American Dollar Bill
3.5 [noise rock, improvised stuff, sludge] do any of these collaborateurs need any further introduction |
21 | | Weedpecker III
3.5 [stoner, space rock, psychedelic] Journey into space with this very drugs but not very doom-esque record. |
22 | | Estimas Flowers
3.5 [dubstep, downtempo] goes by really fast. 4 track EP for those who want to dive deep into the happy-go-lucky electronic bog. |
23 | | Naked Flames Naked Flames Who Can Recall His Past Lives
3.0-3.5 [instrumental rock, sequenzer and midi] jumping between a million genres like it was no thing and it does it well. But 3.5 hours is too much even though it's good inoffensive ambient background rock music you're listening to. |
24 | | Ruined Woven Shade
3.0 [doomgaze] with a hint of post metal and a black metal section. This drags at times ngl, but it also has some sweet moments. Bass, drums and vocals only. |
25 | | Hamferð Támsins Likam
3.0 [doom metal] for the fans of mythology and epic doom metal with death metal leanings. |
26 | | In Vain Currents
3.0 [prog metal] actually quite good considering the genre, death metal influenced of course |
27 | | Akula (USA) Akula
3.0 [post metal, doom metal] riffing post metal with heavy metal vocals. Might get the fire started for someone. |
28 | | Roscoe Mitchell and Matthew Shipp Accelerated Projection
3.0 [improv jazz] pretty wild |
29 | | Xylouris White Mother
3.0 [experimental folk] neatly done and somewhat reminding of flamenco but not feeling it too much I'm afraid. |
30 | | Hooded Menace Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed
3.0 [death and doom metal] classic sounding album is decent |
31 | | Elskavon Skylight
3.0 [post rock] basic but beautiful -> just like me |
32 | | Sean Noonan Man No Longer Me
3.0 [dare i say chamber jazz] this is really weird and it works sometimes and sometimes not. Like a jazzier more experimental firehose |
33 | | Dawnwalker Human Ruins
3.0 [post metal, folk] a bit too much folk influence and bad singing for me. But teamster loves it and so might you? |
34 | | Cavetown Lemon Boy
3.0 [indie folk] great songwriting skills in development here. Some kind of modern take on Neutral Milk Hotel worship. |
35 | | Prana Crafter Bodhi Cheetah's Choice
3.0 [drugs probably] what you do when spaced out and jam on a guitar acutally works? |
36 | | awakebutstillinbed what people call low self-esteem is really...
3.0 [emo] nothing much but if you're on the lookout for new emo this is worth a spin. |
37 | | Heaven Pierce Her Flowerworks
3.0-2.5 [drone, post rock, post metal] the middle track salvages an otherwise rather meh offering. |
