Rokia Traore - Beautiful Africa (2013) A gorgeous set from the Malian singer-songwriter, produced this time by John Parish. There is a strong, muscular flow to this album that grabbed my attention and kept it. I love her singing and how it complements the guitars & drumming. There's both joy & sadness throughout the album, and Traore expresses her emotions exquisitely. Easily one of my favorite albums of the year. |

I kept saying this is a good album. Nothing too special, yet I've ended up listening to it almost every night for the past six nights. It's grown on me, and now I love it. Can't seem to get into My Maudlin Career too much though, besides the first few songs.

Their new album Desire Lines is another good one as well (though it took a couple listens).

I still can't get into Desire Lines even after several plays, I'm not quite sure what it is but maybe it just doesn't have the same quality of tunes as their last two albums. Despite that I still think 'Fifth In Line To The Throne' is a fantastic song.

Death Angel - Killing Season I've always liked Death Angel, but aside from their debut, they've never been a favorite old school thrash band, but I've been digging up their albums since they reformed and they are really damn good these days. Killing Season is positively feral while managing to be melodic at the same time. Best album since the debut.
