The Hotelier - Home, Like NoPlace is There

The fact that this album has been so well received makes me even more excited to listen to it than I already was.

mewithoutYou - Catch For Us The Foxes

Inspired both by The World Is A Beautiful Place's (or apparently WR now) upcoming EP and my love for Listener, I've decided to finally try out this band. I decided this would be a good place to start after a bit of research.

Wild Beasts - Present Tense (2014)
These guys manage to be so remarkably consistent despite evolving from album to album. It would be too early to determine whether this is their best work yet but it's right up there with their previous two albums Two Dancers and Smother. It has more electronic elements than their previous output and manages to be a very enjoyable listen.

Sun Kil Moon - Benji (2014)
First of all, this album really does deserve all the praise it's getting. It really is that good. The album almost plays like the story of Mark Kozelek's life, telling us about childhood memories and the deaths of relatives and friends. It strikes me as the most painfully honest and soul-bearing album that he has written and his delivery and songwriting here makes you give all your attention to the stories he's telling you through his songs. This album is definitely up there with the best of Sun Kil Moon/Red House Painters material.

Phantogram - Voices (2014)
I enjoyed Eyelid Movies so naturally enough I was looking forward to this. This album has some killer tracks, unfortunately it also has some very mediocre ones too. The album is okay overall despite being a mixed bag, but when it's good it offers some solid electronica.

Polaris - Music From the Adventures of Pete & Pete (1999)
I only have vague memories of the 90's TV show Pete & Pete, so I decided to listen to this mainly for the music. Polaris were a once-off band put together to provide songs for the show's soundtrack but they were actually damn good one too. There's a bit of an early-R.E.M. college rock vibe to this collection of songs, and they're the type of songs that will stick in your head for a few days. It's probably something I'll get sick off after a while but I'm going to enjoy it for what it is.

Listened To:

TesseracT - Altered State

I really don't care for the Reality and Energy suites at all, but the Mind suite is incredible. :D

Downloaded:

Henry Saiz - Reality Is for Those Who Are Not Strong Enough to Confront Their Dreams
>Secondary Genres (according to RYM): Space Disco, Progressive House
>space disco

Sounds cool. :>

Demon Fuzz - Afreaka! (1970)

Hadn't heard this in a while, so I gave it a spin. A great mix of soul/funk/jazz/rock, and a fine bluesy cover of "I Put a Spell on You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

Downloading an album called MF Dope which I initially thought was a set of tracks with DOOM going over Aesop production. Doesn't seem to be though. More of a compilation.

PM for DL link.

Picked it up used for $7.

Drive-By Truckers - English Oceans (2014)

While it's been awhile since they've released anything I would consider to be amazing, they have been pretty consistent with their releases. I've heard some mixed things about this album, but I think people just need to get over the fact that they'll never release another Southern Rock Opera (2001).

Lea Michelle - Louder

Rick Ross - Mastermind

Pharrell Williams - G I R L

Nadja - Queller

these two really have a great formula and i'm happy they don't really deviate from it.....the four tracks on this album are a bit short for this band....but still are perfect journeys of slow, dark, despondent, fuzzed out, warm Dilaudid binges

Conan - Blood Eagle

when it comes to good sludgy doom.....there is no one better at this site than Mojo....he suggested this band a year or so ago....and i fell in love with them.....i may need a few more listens to this....but i can guarantee that this album will be within the top five of the year for me....for what this is....it is perfect
