Albums You're Digging II

Trollheart · 03-09-2013, 02:32 PM

Heresy and creed --- Ten

One of the best albums from the tail-end of last year. A massive improvement on 2011's "Stormwarning" and a great successor to 2006's "The twilight chronicles". If you like AOR/Melodic rock with punch and just the right amount of gentle ballads, you'll probably love this album. I know I do.

The tall ships --- It Bites

Turned on to this by the famous Anteater, and I love it to death. Progressive pop rock with some epic tracks, and a new singer in John Mitchell (Arena/Frost*/Kino/John Wetton). I've been a bit meh about their output since "Once around the world" but this blows everything away.

and finally, like everyone else with taste I've been reeling from

Push the sky away --- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Easily the best thing he's done since "No more shall we part", a stormer of an album: the quiet, desperate voice of anger and bitterness sheathed in silent steel that's the musical equivalent of a sharp knife stabbed in your back so deeply and so quickly that you don't even have time to realise you're bleeding out. Stunning, a real return to form.

Maurizio Bianchi - Symphony for a Genocide

Some really good industrial/harsh noise from one of the biggest innovators in both genres. Mostly electronic, and I've been loving it. It's better suited for headphones because he plays two parts at once in stereo, and it makes it somewhat more accessible when you can see which sound is coming at you from where instead of a barrage of noise blasting in your direction.

Gonjasufi - A Sufi And A Killer

Really like this album. All over the place, but in a good way.

Where do you guys find this stuff? Oshin by DIIV is kinda cool, real laid back, mellow but fun stuff. Sort of like an updated The Cure album.

I wish Late of the Pier would do another one. This is what dance punk should be, eh

Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks - Ghost Ballads

Indeed a very haunting folk album. Loving it. Leonard Cohen inspired for sure.

Jesu/Battle of Mice - Split

So far so good. Jesu's side is some great post-rock/shoegaze.
