2019 Albums You're Digging

OccultHawk · 11-10-2019, 07:02 PM

Journey to Parazzar by Joe McPhee, John Edwards, and Klaus Kugel

Solid Free Jazz

McPhee is an octogenarian. How do these people do it?

Just got turned on to Rishloo - Feathergun.

So far so good. Tool meets Mars Volta.

You know what they say: music is the healing force of the universe.

I saw a girl wearing a jacket covered with tributes to this band that she drew herself so I googled them and noticed this album got great reviews. After listening to it, I’m amazed (and I know that I shouldn’t be) that people who actually make money writing about and critiquing music fawn over this garbage. There’s a bright spot here and there but overall it’s really very bad music and most of the songs have no redeeming quality or artistic merit whatsoever.

One song goes through the next like nothing, vapid would be the word I would use to describe it overall.

Yeah from what I've heard of it it's a lot less sappy and more feel-good. Their first album is pretty tight.

Yeah. It never really crashes down but it’s still the same tricks.

All these albums would be better with Jarboe.
