https://www.anticon.com/sites/defaul...ge/bayblue.jpg Bay Blue - Bay Blue (2012) Nothing great here apart from 'Postcard from New Orleans' but yeah, it's okay I suppose. 2.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://f0.bcbits.com/img/a1202176946_2.jpg Dad Jazz - Exitpoint Stallion (2013) This album kicks a lot of ass, doesn't outstay it's welcome and is fun as hell. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://f0.bcbits.com/img/a0568939751_2.jpg CunninLynguists - Strange Journey Volume Three (2014) Fantastic album. These guys are back with a bang. Not quite as good as Oneirology but that was probably asking too much. 4/5 ---------------------------------------- http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mNIyPW0e0n...20/swidden.jpg Blackbird Raum - Swidden (2008) 'Gypsy Punk' isn't a genre I am awfully familiar with but I see no reason why it shouldn't be like my favourite thing that ever existed. 4/5 ---------------------------------------- http://cdn.pitchfork.com/news/54265/54bf6b35.jpg The Coathangers - Suck My Shirt (2014) This is a little tame. Still quite fun in parts though. 3/5 ---------------------------------------- http://littleblackcart.com/images/P/...rling_host.jpg Blackbird Raum - Under the Starling Host (2009) Another really good album by this band. Definitely gonna be in heavy rotation in the near future. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://exclaim.ca/images/court.jpg The Courtneys - The Courtneys (2013) Love it when I find a cool Lo-Fi rock band that doesn't bore me. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- DJ Q - Ineffable (2014) It's fair to say this is one of the more 'slept on' releases of 2014, especially when you consider it has a contemporary style. Some fantastic future garage elements mixed with cloudy pop. 4/5 |
RE: Floating Coffin. One of my favourite releases last year, glad you're on board with it. They certainly are prolific. Wish I had the vinyl, just because the artwork is so awesome.
|
Yeah it is really good.
Also: Added The Courtneys and Ineffable to my previous post. |

I suppose you could add it to those genres if it fits.

So....
What does it sound like? |
It's folky but more up beat and sporadic, with eclectic instrumentation at times.
Not really the easiest music to describe as I don't really know the terminology that correctly explains it. I'd suggest a quick youtube search. |
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-Myownwolf.jpg Various Artists - My Own Wolf: A New Approach to Ulver (2007) Particularly boring album. Disjointed and I just didn't care. 2/5 ---------------------------------------- http://www.violentsuccess.com/wordpr...l_LatePass.jpg Jel - Late Pass (2013) So forgettable I actually forgot it was playing. True story. 2/5 ---------------------------------------- http://cdn2.pitchfork.com/albums/248...e.9e6c5154.jpg Dosh - Dosh (2003) Ehh this is okay I guess, but it's ultimately not interesting enough to justify how long the album is. 2.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://www.soundsbetterwithreverb.co...rk-400x400.jpg The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream (2014) Really good album. Feared it would go to pot when 'The Haunting Idle' hit but it picked up again. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...GL._SY300_.jpg The Kooks - Inside In Inside Out (2006) Too many naff tracks on here. The guy has a pretty lame voice but I kind of enjoy how shit a singer he is. Some enjoyable throw away Indie nonsense keeps it from being complete trash. 2.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://cdn.pitchfork.com/albums/1978...e.262db95a.jpg Swearin' - Surfing Strange (2013) Reminded me quite a lot of the Breeders at the start, then a little bit Elliott Smith does garage/indie rock. Overall, it's simply a good album. 3.5/5 |
http://consequenceofsound.files.word...0&h=380&crop=1 Future Islands - Singles (2014) What an annoying prick of a voice. But I can deal with it. Decent stuff here. 3/5 ---------------------------------------- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CQR912JVL.jpg Eiffel 65 - Contact! (2001) There's no need for this. 1/5 ---------------------------------------- http://funkyimg.com/u2/4475/265/8345593920953505-1.jpg Zack Hemsey - Ronin (2013) Dalek-lite? Yeah, sort of sums it up. Solid album overall. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://images.plixid.com/imager/w_50...3653888a92.jpg Das Kabinette - Spy Thriller (2008) Pretty neat post/synth-punk record. I think it lacks real variety and interesting instrumentation, which would have pushed it to another level. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/wp...UARTETT-II.jpg Bersarin Quartett - II (2012) Decent enough album but I kinda lost interest towards the end. 3/5 ---------------------------------------- http://www.valve-magazine.net/images...musiccover.jpg Armand Hammer - Race Music (2013) I'm not totally sure what it was about this album that didn't put it over the top for me. The lyrics are fine, the production is fine - but I just ended up liking it, as opposed to loving it. 3.5/5 ---------------------------------------- http://o.scdn.co/300/65ca8431b8fe546...4ee28ce0bb5b4c First Aid Kit - Plaits (2008) Extremely pleasant album. Unfortunately nothing that gets me excited or engaged. 3/5 |
