The Fall - Re-Mit (2013)

They won't ever lose it.

Dungeonesse - Dungeonesse

This album is damn catchy. While most of it is simple guilty-pleasure electro-pop with a driving beat and really great atmosphere, there are also quite a few moments that made me feel this is what the Cocteau Twins would sound like if they picked up a bunch of synthesizers and you could understand what the hell Elizabeth Fraser was singing about. This one gets two thumbs up.

Laugh all you want, but I've been incredibly impressed by this album. Not a bad track, and really personal too. Not a fan but this is totally immense.

Sheep on Drugs—Greatest Hits
Pretty sweet 1993 debut album (the title is a joke) from these sleazy, punky, grimy techno cats. I've literally been meaning to check this out for 20 years so I'm happy to report that it's pretty damn good. Recommended if you like (a) early 90s electronica and (b) sleaze.

I bought the album they released after that one.
It had Slim Jim on it which I seem to remember being a minor hit in the UK at the time.

I actually got the second one the other day but couldn't get into so figured I'd try the first. Now that they're clicking with me I'll definitely go back and give the second one another spin.

^ I had that one and Never Mind the Methadone, I think. Greatest Hits was more memorable. They had a kind of RevCo vibe to them.

Yeah, kind of a RevCo vibe and also a bit of a Thrill Kill Kult vibe.

Oh holy ****, I love this band. This album is completely unrecognizable from Beat Pyramid; you wouldn't think they were the same artist at all, and somehow it has managed to be another turn-around from Hidden that drops everything beat-based but still maintains the unsettling bleakness that I found so attractive on their last album. Ah wow, this band has done and is capable of some amazing things, and I'm glad this snuck up on me this year. Between this and Shaking the Habitual, it's a great year for weird, dark and meandering albums.

Ah this is such a perfect step to take after Hidden. Good god.

16 Horsepower- Sackcloth 'n' Ashes

Fantastic Gothic Country. I think even people who are not big fans of country will get a kick out of this, it's so good.
