RE: Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks
Damn dude. I had never heard his/their name before now, but balls man this track is unreal. I’m adding this album to my queue for sure. If the rest of their material is as rad as this I think I may have found a new band to obsess over. RE: Jay Munly I dig the melancholic impending doom feel to this song but it didn’t exactly grip me. I’ll probably look into the other albums you suggested rather than this one. I feel like I could get behind his songwriting for sure. RE: Lana Del Ray I can take or leave Lana Del Ray but I won’t deny that I enjoy this song. RE: Vampire Weekend remix This blows the original track (and the album it belongs to) out of the water. Love it. RE: Strawfoot While gothic country business is up my alley this track didn’t grab me. Can see why others would enjoy it, however. Will still check out the album out of curiosity, so I guess that’s a win. RE: Sons of Perdition See above. RE: Coin Locker Kid Holy ****, dude. I couldn’t find any of his stuff on spotify, or anything from The Lars Demos on youtube and only one from Traumnovelle, but I found some tracks off The Ghost Sonata and just, holy ****. I am so into this. I might be begging you for album links here pretty quickly. Spoiler for Youtube:
Like, this is so rad. What the ****. Glad you started this project, Clancy. I have a feeling I'll benefit a lot from it. I’ll write up part two tomorrow. |

Fulborn Teversham - Count Herbert II (2007) Pretty cool Jazz-Rock album. Not quite blowing me away but still interesting enough. 3/5 ---------------------------------------- Jenny Hval - Innocence Is Kinky (2013) This is pretty cool but considering how "edgy" she is trying to appear I don't think she quite reaches the level where you can truly appreciate it. Needed to be darker and weirder, this is a little too laden in sugar for me to take seriously. Still, pretty good. 3/5 ---------------------------------------- The Teardrop Explodes - Kilimanjaro (1980) Nothing mind blowing here, but pretty good nonetheless. Could have done with a little more variation. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- The War on Drugs - Red Eyes (2013) [Single] Really good song. Instantly reminded me of 'Kurt Vile' in terms of production, and I was not surprised at all to see that he was formerly involved in the project. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- Antioch Arrow - In Love With Jetts (1993) Just not that brutal or interesting for me to really love. It's good I suppose, but nowt special. 3/5

Goof, i have a question. I'm just wondering: how do you listen to all this music? Much of it seems not to impress you, and I know I usually buy or download albums I think I'll like, and most times I'm right. Not always of course. But how do you get the time to listen to a bunch of albums you seem not to like? Are you buying/downloading everything you see? Are you living on a separate timeline to the rest of us? Have you cloned yourself? Are you, in fact, the Devin Townsend of Music Banter? Only with hair. Presumably.

I only listen to music that I think will interest me with a few exceptions here and there. Also, I would point out that any album I give a rating of 3 or above is good in my opinion, just varying levels of good

Donso - Denfila (2013) Fantastic electronic afro-beat album. Hypnotizing without becoming stale and repetitive. 4/5 ---------------------------------------- Robbie Williams - In and Out of Consciousness: The Greatest Hits 1990-2010 (2010) [Compilation] There's something that I like about Robbie Williams. He has some really good songs. The problem is, he has some really bad songs too. Luckily for me, I just skipped them and ended up liking this quite a bit. But I had to mark it down due to me knowing how much crap is on here. 2.5/5 ---------------------------------------- Thumbscrew - Within Hearts of Redemption (2006) [EP] Pretty cool mathy/grind EP. Short as ****, but has a track with around five minutes of silence after it ends for whatever reason. Left me wanting more. 3/5 ---------------------------------------- きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ [Kyary Pamyu Pamyu] - なんだこれくしょん [Nanda Collection] (2013) Super fun album. And just look at that album cover. You have to be some kind of angry person to not enjoy this. 4/5 ---------------------------------------- ハイスイノナサ [Haisuinonasa] - 街について (2009) [EP] Thoroughly listenable math rock EP. I liked the dreamy vocals a lot, particularly when paired with this style of instrumentation. 3/5 ---------------------------------------- Cave In - Antenna (2003) Unnecessarily drawn out. Good musicianship and not bad by any means, but fails to grip me. 3/5 ---------------------------------------- Swirlies - Blonder Tongue Audio Baton (1993) Probably the first example of a Math-Gaze album that I have come across, and it's brilliant. Enough variety to keep me interested and some really great songs. 4/5 ---------------------------------------- Antioch Arrow - The Lady Is a Cat (1993) [EP] I prefer this to "In Love With Jetts". A little more oomph to it. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- Hum - You'd Prefer an Astronaut (1995) Good song after good song after good song. Super consistent and thoroughly enjoyable. Gonna have to listen to more of their work. 4/5

Cranes - Wings of Joy (1991) Really surprised it took me this long to hear this album. Liked it a lot and will probably grow to love it with a few more listens. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- Zervas & Pepper - Lifebringer (2013) Pretty cool folk rock deal here. It's not a style of music that I usually gravitate towards but I definitely enjoyed it. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- The Underachievers - The Lords of Flatbush (2013) [EP] This is a fun album with just a few songs that weren't very good. The cloudrap aesthetic is something I love, but the rappers themselves don't quite do it for me overall. 3/5 And yes, I will do a proper review in the "Monthly Music Trading" thread Deej. ---------------------------------------- Lil B - Rain in England (2010) Just shit. Why? Why make this? Plus points for my amusement at how shit it is. 1.5/5
