I've been in a post rock mood lately for some reason, and this is up there pretty high in my personal favorites. |

Clark - Totems Flare
I've had this since it came out last year, I just happen to be digging it right now. I wasn't sure how to feel about it at first, as the vocals were something new for him. Musically there were stellar moments, but the vocals distracted. Luckily they're not on each track. The more I listen to it though the more I just realize it's just a damn fun record, and I shouldn't take it too seriously. It wins. I just hope he doesn't increase the amount of vocals on the next record. I can tolerate this amount even if I prefer it mostly instrumental. Truth is at times it sounds like nothing more than a vocal sample, which I've always been a fan of. It's not like he's crooning or something. And while mastered a bit on the loud side, the production is pretty damn nice.

For some reason I couldn't make the connection considering he was already dead by then. My mistake. Oh and:
Roy Harper - Stormcock (1971) Hey. Pay attention, you indie-folk clowns. This is how it's done right. Beautiful vocal and guitar arrangements yield a simple yet extraordinary folk album. Hats off.

Three Trapped Tigers - EP2
This is cool. Like a mix of Tortoise (new heavier style and old more mellow), Cougar, and 65daysofstatic and some spastic math rock tendencies thrown in for good measure. The electronics might be a little more pronounced, but the drumming is right up front too. The song '7' in particular is grabbing me. I just played their first EP before this and liked it too, and they have a 3rd coming out soon apparently. Excitement!

As for me'self- Gungfly - Please Be Quiet (2009) An intriguing solo album from the vocalist of one of modern prog. rock's best groups, Beardfish. Contemporary yet vintage, there's some fantastic sonic spirit at work here that I'm really enjoying. Oh, and 'On and On' is extremely catchy.

Redneck Wonderland - Midnight Oil
Twelve or so years on, it's still a magnificently, intense, fun and yes, still quite relevant album...

Picked this up for two pound in a book shop its pretty good not their best but still good Choice Tracks:Hey Now What You Doing,Waiting For The Sirens Call,Guilt Is A Useless Emotion Got this on a free download and it's great, one of the better mashups I have heard Choice Tracks:99 Anthems,Dirt Off Your Android, No Karma Great Album, Great Band. I love brody's vocals and lyrics and this is possibly my favourite by them im yet to get into Spinerette but listening to this has put me in the mood so I may pursue them tonight Choice Tracks:City Of Angels, Seneca Falls, Lordy Lordy |
