Crystal Castles - III I'm now completely convinced this has been a pretty good year for music. We are getting towards the end and we are still getting some great albums. It was going to be hard to top II - and I'm not sure they did - but it's still a great album nonetheless. I'm always impressed by how willing Crystal Castles are to experiment...they always come up with really interesting textures. If you liked I or II, this should satisfy.

way better than their later albums, although I enjoyed Brothers. That's a solid album.

That is a fantastic album. I haven't listened to it in quite some time now actually. I may have to revisit it. |

II is way better and III kind of lands in between I and II.

Grimes, Geidi Primes. Psychedelic lo-fi electronica with unearthly, sweetly sung vocals. Occasionally danceable. Filled with quotes from Dune, apparently. It's not really like anything that I ever listen to, but I really like it. Man Is The Bastard, Mancruel. Sludgy, jazz-influenced powerviolence with several vocalists who all sound like they should be singing in a death metal band. Sometimes turns into an ambient noise band. Thank you Janszoon for turning me on to these guys, this is seriously great. Like, seriously, really, truly great. The Roots, Phrenology. A hip hop band with live instruments creates a record that goes everywhere from old school rap to hardcore punk to jazz. Pretty dang good. Maybe not my favorite hip hop record, but definitely a good one.

You might also dig The Red List... ...which is a fantastic split between Man is the Bastard side project Bastard Noise and the Canadian powerviolence band The Endless Blockade. Really good stuff imo. |
