Damn is that what all deep house is like??? That's so chill I love it. A genre I plan to look into immediately.

Nice! You inspired me to check this out. I gotta say, the rest of the album is pretty solid so far.

Kevin Coyne - Marjory Razorblade

Absolutely superb album. Coyne has this pained, unhinged style to his blues guitar compositions, with a voice that's often heartbreaking.

Here's a vid of him playing a track from the album; House on the Hill, live. So good.

be careful, i call it deep house, but i don't think that's the "official" name for it. i just find it to be a fitting name for this style of downbeat music...

I have to say that no this is not really the sound of traditional deep house. I goes in that direction, with the chill 4/4 beat, but the intro and overall pace of the song are not typical of deep house at all, and there are some IDM flourishes throughout (the intro even wouldn't be out of place on an IDM album). So perhaps an evolution of deep house, I haven't been paying attention for almost 10 years, but not traditional deep house. It lends itself more to casual listening than the club environment (and when I say that I don't mean a funky/disco/hard house club environment - I mean even a "chill room" deep house environment). This just feels more like a singer's song, than a dance song, that just happens to be electronic.

On a side note, I'm not at all a fan of the vocals.

Paul Baribeau - S/T

Thanks to Charlemagne for turning me on to this guy. He makes really simple, heartfelt, and depressing anti folk.

"Tablecloth"

Quote:

You made a skirt from an old tablecloth,
I still remember the red checker pattern.
I want to walk until I get lost,
And when I get home everything will be better,
You made a skirt from an old tablecloth,
We danced to a beach boys song,
In a yellow living room with the lights turned off,
That was long before everything went wrong,
You made a skirt from an old tablecloth,
and i hope your new boyfriend thinks its real cute,
and sometimes i wish that i could just chop off the chunk of my life that i wasted on you,
You made a skirt from an old tablecloth,
and when we kissed you said my face felt scratchy,
so while you were at work i shaved my beard off,
and when you came home we kissed and kissed like we hadn't kissed for weeks even though it was only for a couple of hours.

So check out Hypochristmutreefuz by Eric Dolphy, upbeat kind of smoothish in a way free jazz, and John Zorn's band Mandala which is sort of a jazzy experiment in Jewish music that is often really laid back kind of like the track you posted before.

In other news, I've been digging the hell out of Secede at work lately.

Born in a Tropical Swamp

Leraine (feat. Kettel)

I was thinking about them after that discussion about no drums and ambient music, and this is really one of the only albums I've found where that's alright at times. This is probably the chillest album I've ever heard myself, and it has no dull moments throughout. It reminds me a lot of Boards of Canada, but kind of better.

^^^Really digging this, very chill album.

...

Animals as Leaders - S/T
Just heard about these guys, very good. All instrumental prog rock, always welcome. Gets pretty heavy at times, I hear some Meshuggah in there...

major props to canwll for pointing this out to me. this is probably my favorite release of the year. I feel like this is the kind of music Thom really wants to be making.

PS @ canwll: have you heard burial's new EP?

No problem!

It really is great. And ohh yes. I sure did. NYC is probably my favorite track. Street Halo would be my second. I SO hope he comes out with a whole album this year. I think he's the closest thing I have to a favorite artist. Music for me is so personal, and his songs just strike a chord somehow. They all remind me of the night and the city. Not so much hustle and bustle, but more dark and mysterious. JUST social enough to keep it from sounding too isolated.
