If not, definitely check out Stetson's solo work.

That does sound like something I'd like. I'll definitely check it out.

Cigarettes After Sex - Cigarettes After Sex (2017)

A modern, second cousin of sorts to David Lynch's work with dream pop queen Julee Cruise. Lots of Mazzy Starisms and some Cocteau Twin touches, but very much its own thing. Just fantastic really.

Jane Weaver - Modern Kosmology (2017)

A great followup to her last psychedelic pop / rock opus a few years ago (The Silver Globe). Pretty much perfect for what it is, especially for fans of the late 60's L.A. sound.

Zeta - Zeta (2017)

Massive synthwave / synth-pop project led by Daniel Tompkins (vocalist of TesseracT and Skyharbor). There's some modern metal and EDM elements strewn here and there too that add some additional dimension to the usual 80's pop aesthetic.

i'm a little upset that nobody let me know that the new Algiers album was out, but i'll let it slide since it's SO ****ING GOOD. didn't know if they had it in them to match their last release, but here we are and they've done it again.

i'll admit i'm no elphenor but these guys are, at least to me, one of the most interesting post-punk bands currently working. this album sees them push forward by fine-tuning many of the elements that made their last release so memorable, while adding a fair bit more industrial influence and once again blowing me away by the sheer power in the vocalists voice.

it's a little early to say as i've only listened to it once, but in a year where i haven't been that impressed with too many releases, this is surely a front runner to be amongst the best projects of 2017.

And it certainly lived up to expectations.

Ex Eye - Ex Eye

Synthesize the Soul: Astro-Atlantic Hypnotica from the Cape Verde Islands 1973 - 1988
Funky stuff with some amazing rhythm sections and a bit of synth. Part psychedelic, part afrobeat, part disco, with a sensibility that's not surprisingly somewhere between West African and Brazilian. This comp is solid from beginning to end and definitely worth checking out if you like any of the things I just mentioned.

Submers by Loscil

probably have peddled this once or twice around these parts before, but truly one of the best albums of this century. get your surround sound speakers on and lights off. this one needs to be experienced
