I remember liking that one album they did a couple years back or so but I wasn't aware they'd dropped a new one

Might check it out when I get some time

Woah new squarepusher album coming in a few days.

new Sigh album leaked and it's AOTY
The Tombfiller is easily one of their best songs

cherry bomb

(lol jk)

Listening to Imaginary Sonicscape rn, actually.

Gonna listen to the new one eventually.

i really, really hate the fact that i think the new Alesana album isn't complete s***
like it's not up there for aoty but damn

i actually said "hey, that wasn't too bad" after some of the tracks. what the f***

never thought i'd like another death grips album let alone enough to be a yearly favourite but i can't stop listening to the powers that b

I honestly don't think another album can beat TPTB as my favorite this year.

The new Elvis Depressedly record is sounding very promising so far, however.

EDIT: Oh wow, new Arthur Russell album coming out as well!

if anybody else here is into boring-ass electronic music to fall asleep to, nosaj thing's new album is great. i'm loving it right now. i dunno if it's my favorite album to come out this year so far, but it's definitely gonna be a favorite

So apparently Boris released 3 albums and a collaborative EP today...

I know what I'm doing when I get home from work tomorrow!

That unfortunately came out in 2013, so as far as 2014-2015 releases go,

it'd have to be either
Animals As Leaders- The Joy Of Motion

or

Rittz- Next To Nothing

Last Forever by Westkust is of my current favorites.

Highly recommended if you're into shoegaze, indie-rock, or noise rock.

Q2 METAL GARBAGE UPDATE because everyone cares

leviathan - scar sighted / current AOTY, what can i say about it. murky atmospheres, does the whole "complex dissonant riffage" thing without coming off obnoxiously, vocals sounding like they were recorded underwater & filtered through an industrial grade washing machine. i really need to give this a few more earnest listens.


ghost bath - moonlover / deafheaven but with a less embarrassing aesthetic & better songwriting dynamics? hook me up. not AOTY material by any means but at least another necessary reminder that contempo USBM doesn't need to be a barren tremolo-picked musical wasteland and can actually be fun/interesting! that guitar lead coming in around the 2 minute mark here is power metal levels of uplifting cheese and i can't get over it

also hearty lol @ how these guys pretended to be from china but were discovered to hail from north f*** dakota of all places

on my backlog: new napalm death (top priority), new blind guardian, that thou/the body collab album, probably a bunch of obscure gems i haven't heard of

scar sighted still rules. moonlover is alright, might need to give it a few more listens
totally forgot there's a new napalm death album, i'll have to check that out


Persona by Mello Music Group is my hip hop aoty
notable members of MMG being Open Mike Eagle, Apollo Brown and L'Orange (who also released an album with Jeremiah Jae this year that was good)
also featuring cool people like Blockhead and Oh No

so we're 3 and a half months into 2016 and i wanted to kinda list some notable records that have come out already

cpxn - bad dynamics
f*** debut album from up n coming breakcore artist cpxn, im absolutely loving this album. it officially released today but ive been listening to it for about a month. it's probably gonna be one of my top favorites by the end of the year.

Massive Attack - Ritual Spirit
u guys have no idea how happy i am that massive attack are back and not only just good, but AMAZING again. this soars so much higher than heligoland, it's super engaging and of great quality. if this is an indication of the direction MA are going in i'm incredibly f*** excited. one of my favorite groups is BACK DUDE!!!

Ulver - ATGCLVLSSCAP
ulver, ANOTHER one of my all time favorite groups returned with a very long live album this year. it's pretty great, takes some of the best parts of some of their various alternative styles from the past decade or so. very enjoyable, but really just if you're a big fan. if you're not really into ulver this isn't a good place to start.

David Bowie - Blackstar
i dont feel like i have anything to say about this album that hasnt already been said. it's a moving and fantastic final jam from a legend

HKE - OMNIA
another one of those abstract, post-vaporwave post-techno albums that seem to be the latest trend in underground electronic music. this one is still growing on me but it's very interesting. i enjoy it quite a bit.

Kanye West - The Life Of Pablo
probably the best kanye album so far, really. it's a shame you can only legally listen to it on tidal lmfao

stuff i'm looking forward to:
Antwon - Double Ecstasy
new dalek album
new baths album
ANHONI - Hopelessness
Tinashe - Joyride

im probably forgetting a few but yeah dude
