Bought The 1975 album about 2 weeks ago

Frownland

Old Time Relijun - Lost Light

This album's a Beefheart influenced group I found on Northern Spy. Pretty good imo.

Psy-Fi

Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Shake My Stick at You (1991)

A good album, though, not as good as some of his other efforts. Worth it just for the humorous X-rated song 'Furburger'

Ibibio Sound Machine Ibibio Sound Machine (2014)

Great mix of electronic/funk/Afro-beat/post-punk with some excellent synths tossed in a few tracks. Best of all is Nigerian singer-songwriter Eno Williams who makes the album really memorable.

Ninetales

Thrones by Aurvandil

ohhhh wow yes. I didn't even know this album had come out until today but I'm excited. His last album, Yearning, is one of the best black metal albums of the decade imo. It had a sort of "epic" feel to it but was also very dense. Comparable to Vinterland probably. Ive got some high hopes for this one.

I have no clue why he made the sides of the throne look like dicks tho

Isbjørn

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division. Delicious.

Afghan Whigs - Do The Beast (2014)
Their first studio album in 16 years. It's not a bad album but it does seem like a standard reunion album, don't expect anything new here. Greg Dulli's voice doesn't quite have the power and range that it used to have and this leaves a few songs sounding a bit flat. It does come together nicely on some of the more intimate songs however.



Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire for No Witness (2014)
A very enjoyable folk/indie-folk album. Her haunting voice is both beautiful and unsettling to listen to at times. It seems like a slow-burner so I can see myself enjoying it more with repeated listens.



Mineral - The Power of Failing (1997)
I have a funny relationship with emo. I can really enjoy some bands (Sunny Day Real Estate, American Football) yet find other bands unbearable (Cap'n Jazz, La Dispute). This album falls somewhere in the middle. Instrumentally I can get some enjoyment out of this but sometimes the vocals are not to my taste. But there are a few songs here that I really do enjoy.



Love Spirals Downwards - Flux (1998)
I've been trying to get hold of some albums from these guys for some time without any luck. I just realised that most of their albums are up on Spotify (apart from Ardor, which was the album I really wanted to listen to). This album is a great mix of ethereal wave and drum 'n' bass influences. It makes for a beautiful and psychedelic listening experience.



October Project - October Project (1993)
Not quite sure why I decided to listen to this. I guess this is what happens when you are led on by an interesting description in someone's album list. This is bog standard early-90's dreamy pop-rock with some some very irritating melodramatic vocals. They sound like a shit version of All About Eve.

Kanda Bongo Man Sweet Lady. That song Elizabeth. Very nice.

The problem with Franco Pepe Kalle is that he is a unpredictable character. There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock.

Important to notice FPK.

The postman was good to me this week, I got:

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
New Order - Technique
Mekons - Fear and Whiskey

Goofle

Jon Connor - A Tribute To The Notorious B.I.G. Vol. 1 (2014)

So he's dropped another mixtape. Lets hope this matches the truly awesome Kanye West one.
