While we wait on that exposé I want to go back to when it all went undeniably wrong: 2016.
Such an incredible year for music and such horrible year for humanity. As harrowing as 2020 has been I feel like at least there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Now I’m very pessimistic about what’s after the tunnel but it’s not like 2016 when we were just entering the tunnel and that was all we knew. Well, I mean we don’t know for sure the future now anymore than then but idk perhaps it’s just that frightening novelty that it’s not ok has worn off. We’ve adjusted to the deeply not ok and even relish in the idea of entering a much more profoundly not ok era or a ray of sun or crisp air or whatever it is. Controlling Body by Peder Mannerfelt https://pedermannerfeltproduktion.ba...ntrolling-body The Subliminal Kid is Peder Mannerfelt. That Subliminal Kid is DJ Spooky. They’re different people. This album is an electronic album that has an uneasy feel and incorporates fragmented what’s he saying vocal samples designed to echo in your head drug music especially weed - on the cusp connectivity but ultimately too strange to unravel. https://www.scaruffi.com/vol8/mannerfe.html Quote:

Dedekind Cut - Successor I already said this: $uccessor by Dedekind Cut This is truly one of the definitive quintessential records of the 2016 avalanche of musical brilliance. Absolutely essential. Beautiful disquieting ambiguity. Fantastic avant ambient. A true sonic delight. 5/5 highest rating. Very enthusiastically recommended. All that still stands but I want to talk about the cover. Quote:

Love Streams by Tim Hecker https://timhecker.bandcamp.com/album/love-streams https://www.google.com/amp/s/pitchfo...e-streams/amp/ Tim Hecker has a consistently unassailable discography and this one certainly no exception. It’s been a little off my radar so it was a good thing to give it a listen just today. released June 27, 2016 https://theweek.com/10things/625128/...y-june-27-2016 Quote:

Jim O’Rourke Fennesz It’s Hard for Me To Say I’m Sorry https://thequietus.com/articles/2061...-say-i-m-sorry https://www.google.com/amp/s/pitchfo...-im-sorry/amp/ I’ve said it before but I love this album. Big time. Gets a lot of attention from me. This takes a guitar duo to a place where it’s barely recognizable as guitar. So ethereal and shiny and furious and floaty. Two geniuses locked up on an awesome vision

Too by Klara Lewis https://klaralewis.bandcamp.com/album/too https://thequietus.com/articles/2030...um-lead-review Like the sounds trapped in discarded wires that tapped mafia hit men talking about pasta dishes bundled in the Nevada desert and baked in the sun since the 1970’s from lawless era to our new lawlessness of post-truth whateverisms. I don’t care if you don’t believe me. Listen for your goddamn self. released May 27, 2016 https://theweek.com/10things/618949/...ay-may-27-2016 Quote:

I liked Ant’s reaction, too Caramel by Konx-Om-Pax https://konx-om-pax.bandcamp.com/album/caramel Retro-rave-hauntology https://www.google.com/amp/s/pitchfo...7-caramel/amp/ Like a fire that somehow burns without fuel searching for a forest in California or Australia or Brazil or a fireplace in one room Nebraskan schoolhouse circa 1888. released July 8, 2016 Quote:
Blast from the past: Read the Lamp Lighting review of Furfour (****ing still love this record) https://www.musicbanter.com/2018967-post755.html

BEN JOHNSTON: STRING QUARTETS NOS. 6, 7, & 8 Kepler Quartet: Sharan Leventhal, violin I; Eric Segnitz, violin II; Brek Renzelman, viola; Karl Lavine, cello I first learned about this composer in college when I bought a CD for a John Cage recording and it also included a Ben Johnston String Quartet. The freakish difficulty in playing this music is not a gimmick. The composer had something very specific he wanted to express and the music is quite ... well... musical goddamnit. Johnston died last year, three years after this recording was finished. Huge props to the Kepler Quartet for allowing Johnston to see his work come to fruition during before he died. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nyt...uired.amp.html Quote:

Interventions by Horse Lords https://horselords.bandcamp.com/album/interventions https://www.google.com/amp/s/pitchfo...rventions/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nyt...tions.amp.html Some of this record is tonal but mostly it’s pattern based math rock. This band has already received love on this forum from Frown and Exo. It’s entirely instrumental. What makes this record so good is how structurally sound it is. It’s almost as if it’s functional architecture built from nano-technology. If you visualize certain works of Bach it’s like a building built from brick and mortar. But this microtonal stuff, used like this, is like watching a structure built from nanotechnology by a 3D printer but for function not novelty. released April 29, 2016 https://theweek.com/10things/611038/...-april-29-2016 Quote:
