What Are You Listening To Right Now? II

**Goofle** · 12-07-2012, 04:11 AM

Listening to "Brothers" by The Black Keys. It's not my favourite of theirs but It's certainly a good album.

They seem to be getting a reasonable amount of "hate" of late, probably because you couldn't avoid a few of their tracks being forcibly impressed upon your very being over the last few years, but they are great at what they do.

My favourite on the album so far.

The Miami - Motherless Child

Definitely one of the more interesting artists I've heard of late. Both albums from him/them are sort of ambient/lo-fi takes on hymns and spirituals. This is easily my favorite track out of both of them.

Obviously, I'd heard of the Kinks before now, but I'd never really given them any attention before now. How could I have ignored them for this long?

A FOREST OF STARS - A SHADOWPLAY FOR YESTERDAYS (2012)
UK black metal band that play atmospheric black metal, throwing in a piano, a flute and a violin while maintaining a style and an image of the Victorian era. Suits, waistcoats, an occasional top-hat, and long dresses and corsets.

I was late to the party with the new album but I'm not surprised they did what they did, and shift much further from black to progressive/avante-garde. Atmospheric black metal bands get a lot of stick in certain, often close-minded or traditional black circles and so when you go as far as these guys do, I can imagine the critics line up around the corner.

Not that I necessarily think thats the reason for the shift, they just always seemed like they would benefit from this shift, in my book. The elements of a more avant-garde outfit were all there. I'm on my first listen at the moment and I'm not sure either way yet but I am finding it very, very interesting at least.

PS ...was that an accordion I just heard?

Agalloch - The Mantle

I've been loving this band ever since I was given a recommendation I believe it was from Mojo.

Yes, it was me. Glad you're enjoying them man. I dont think I've listened to them since I gave you that rec. Might have to give them a listen this weekend.

I remember when I finally started listening to The Kinks a few years ago. Now they're the top artist in my last.fm charts.
