Future of the Left - The Plot Against Common Sense (2012)

I love it when an album is unexpectedly awesome, either because you had mixed expectations for it, or you knew nothing about it. For me, this album falls into the second category: I have a word doc with thousands of album recommendations listed in it that has sat and grown for years. Often I'll put items into the list and have no recognition of them when I pull them out again, as I did with this one.

This is a post-hardcore album which is equal parts bass chuggery, Unwound high-pitched dronery, and industrial static tweakery. It's pop-punk melody meets avant-prog dissonance, with vaguely nerdy, desperate half-sung shouting through it. It's never boring, and constantly surprising, and lyrically it's bitter and sardonic, at times hilarious. AND they're WELSH. I guess if Los Campesinos! did post-hardcore, it would sound half-way like this.

Nightmares On Wax - Smoker's Delight


Completely forgot I even had this; it's just been gathering dust in the forgotten portion of my external hard drive for at least a couple of years since I downloaded it and never listened to it. Fuck me is this good stuff though. Some really great grooves, very Thievery Corporation-esque basslines, interesting ideas with sparse, overlapping guitar and synth tracks. Definitely sounds like it's somewhere on a more jazzy side of trip-hop stylistically -definitely gonna be giving this a lot more listens in the near future.

I got into Nightmares on Wax with this album as well. I haven't listened to it for a really long time, though...I think I'll bust it out sometime this week. The other albums of his that I've heard don't really match up, but they are all worth checking out.

Talk about a trip through an inter-dimension space time capsule.

Like Ekstasis she channels dream-pop through a kaleidoscopic medium so that her music seems familiar yet completely alien at the same time. On Loud City Song she expands on that formula with far more variety and more interesting, off-the-wall ideas and yet despite this seems more accessible and engaging. This could end up among my favourite albums of 2013.
I want to listen to this SO BAD, but I can't find a torrent at all for it. It's pissing me off.

Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense

Don't judge this album by it's cover, because it's pretty lame. But this album is most certainly NOT lame. Incredible progressive death metal with soft acoustic parts, avant-garde-ish elements, heavy and awesome violin use, and complex rhythms.
