Aww, yay, I'm glad you're enjoying this. I'll have to check out the 2012 release myself, somehow it slipped by me.

I absolutely fucking love this album. I know people have been posting it occasionally lately and I just had to post this again. It's maybe my top album of 2013 right now. "Smother" and "Youth" are mind-blowing.

Does anybody know of any music that kind of sounds like this? I don't really know of much.

^ Never got the deal with that album. Listened to it a couple of times earlier in the year and apart from the 'Youth' single the album came across as bland and unmemorable. To me it falls into the trap where a band has a 'nice' sound but are lacking in the songwriting department.

I'm going through his discography. I've listened to Coles about 5 times now. It could well have the makings of a little obsession.

Hands Like Houses - Unimagine (2013)
This album has been in heavy rotation with me for the past week or so. I actually did a write up of it for my journal. I just have to finish the other album and then post it.

Fuck Buttons - Slow Focus (2013)

First experience with this band and I quite enjoyed it. Definitely not the kind of electronic/psychedelic album I was expecting. I think a few tracks on here would work wonderfully on a cyberpunk movie/video game soundtrack. Easily one of the better albums I've heard this year.

Jeri-Jeri 800% Ndagga (2013)

A percussion-heavy album produced by Mark Ernestus, who's more associated with German minimal techno music. Jeri-Jeri is a band from Dakar, Senegal, and for this album there are some guest vocalists, such as Baaba Maal and Mbene Diatta Seck. My top favorite tracks is the lead-off "Gawlo" which contains some amazing poly-rhythms where the percussion and bass dominate. And the closing song, "Daguagne", is a fine slow-tempo instrumental which reeks of mystery and intrigue.

This is a fantastic warm up to channel ORANGE.

Edit: I would drive the shit out of that orange beamer.
