I'm thinking you'll like Ben Frost especially.

I remember feeling rather neutral about this album when it dropped a few years back, but after giving it a listen a couple weeks ago I've started spinning it daily. I still don't think it's up to XXX standards, but then again, what is? It's definitely enjoyable and fun in it's own way. Excited for the new album whenever we end up getting it.

Merauder - Master Killer
OMFG this album is badass. It's meatheaded New York hardcore, with all the mid-paced, thrash-influenced breakdowns and toughguy vocals that that entails, but with enough pure metal that it crosses over into early metalcore territory. Sort of like the halfway point between Madball and Earth Crisis. It never goes much past mid-pace, but every song is such a perfect mosh anthem that I just don't ****ing care if it lacks a certain variety. And that production is ****ing awesome: crunchy and heavy as all ****, but not so overbearing as to be obnoxious. This is one of the most fun metalcore albums you'll ever hear.

James Blake - The Colour In Anything VERY pleased with this album. James Blake gets better and better with everything album, slowly honing his unique songcraft into just the right mood he wants to portray. I wasn't sure he could top Overgrown since that album was so good, but he nailed it. Of course his music is not for everyone. Check this out if you love intricate electronic mood pieces that know when to hold back and then smack you in the face with layers and complexity. Some people call it post-dubstep, I'm going to come up with my own stupid label and call it neo-R&B.
