lucy claire collaboration no. 2

Maybe a little like Grouper? Fantastic atmospheric music with great vocals. I think this may be picking up steam. Deserves to be way more popular.

Spoiler for album art:

Ryuichi Sakamoto, 'Nagasaki: Memories Of My Son'

Sakamoto is one of the most respected Japanese composers and Yellow Magic Orchestra is an important band to know about. With this original soundtrack Sakamoto is tasked with providing the score for a film with painful and difficult subject matter. Most tracks have a traditionally tonal neo-classical form. He seems to borrow from Copland, Bartok, Shostakovich, and even John Williams’ less campy material. Other times uses the relatively recent 4th world tradition that he himself help pioneer. I have no complaints about this music as a stand-alone record by a Japanese composer. However, and this is a difficult criticism, but for the content of the film the sound almost ironically Western. While I respect that Europe does not hold a monopoly on traditional symphonic music there’s no hints at all of traditional Japanese music and it’s a film about the aftermath of the Nagasaki bombing.

Devendra Banhart
Ape in Pink Marble

You’re really doing yourself a disservice by ignoring this record. There’s way too much about his wouldashouldacouldas but goddamnit what you got here is a damn fine lyricist and song writing kicking the **** back and making a really cool mellow record that doesn’t give a **** about giving a ****. Nods to Lou Reed, nods to Syd Barrett, nods to Leonard Cohen, nods to cheezy 80’s whatever, nods to nodding, nods to not nodding, and most importantly not nodding to nods.

Have you listened to this one yet?

Scott Johnson : Mind Out Of Matter

AOTY so far for me and one of the best and most entertaining albums ever.

No. I haven’t. There’s a full version up on YouTube but it’ll probably get pulled soon. I see it’s gotten rave reviews.

I’ll try to give it a listen before it gets taken down. After that last post my brain is a little tired. Sometimes spoken word stuff makes my pecker shrink up a little.

HOPELESSNESS Anohni

Drone Bomb Me is about wanting to get ****ed into HIV positivity

Only 4 Degrees is about wanting to witness the spectacle of global warming.

Watch Me - Is about enjoying the exhibitionist opportunity offered by NSA surveillance.

Execution - Celebrates the the death penalty

I Don’t Love You Anymore- abandoning your sense of self from the despair of rejection

(Traditional love song)

Obama- Obama is just another piece of ****

Violent Men- is about peace through letting humanity die out through voluntary extinction before it kills itself.

Why did you separate me from the earth?

Finds her humanity as a barrier from nature and implies suicide or death will return her to the earth

Anger at her parents for creating her

Crisis - a song about how shameful it is to be an American

Hopelessness- a song about how repulsive it is to be a human

Marrow - how the rest of the world has followed America’s lead and given the world cancer

Unassailable

The best pop record of this era.

Echoes from Outer Silence
Album by Alphaxone

Dark Ambient. I know that Schoenberg predates relativity but there’s still a cultural evolutionary connection between impossible tonality and discoveries that contradict intuition. Several composers who dealt with this duality are named in my all time top 40. That still shapes us but in the post 2000 era acceptance has sunk back in and it’s mostly back to the fragility of life which is also amplified by science. Voyager 1’s Blue Dot picture. Hubble images making us smaller and smaller still. Climate and environmental catastrophe and mass extinctions. But one need not be among an elite chosen few to express what this sounds like. A laptop and an internet connection and there it is for the world. Perhaps lost in the volume but still there to be found. Music like this isn’t singularly triumphant like Stockhausen or Wagner. Instead it’s a healthy part of an ecosystem in a return to anonymity not seen since Gregorian Chant. And the sonic similarities are there too.
