I still like the parquet courts album a lot, and this is coming from someone who didn't care about their first few albums at all.

Parquet Courts was one of my tops when it came out but I look at my Top 25 and it's not on that thing. Joy as an Act of Resistance from IDLES on the other hand...

I mentioned her earlier this week, but I went to see a local named Shortly last night and she was fantastic. It was her first headline show ever and she was so endearing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxpkHUxjhWs

She is super sweet and I am hoping she has a great career. She was in tears a bunch as she was talking about taking this semester of college off to go on tour and if she can even go back to school now. I love finding artists early on in their career, some of the most genuine people you can ever meet.

Instead of doing work I've spent almost all morning curating / rearranging this "Ten Highlights: 2018" playlist. It's not really a "my favorite songs of the year" playlist, but rather a collection of sounds that defined 2018 for me. https://open.spotify.com/user/djvecchitto/playlist/2wLFizWoeJBStise72RFhR?si=0csByV-7Q--u3GB4U0Gssw edit: U.S. Girls's Rosebud is probably my track of the year — I liked it from first listen, but feel it more and more as time goes on.

I have no idea why it took me this long to hear it, but I'm working on my year-end list and getting to albums I didn't hear earlier in the year and this new Beach House record is pretty great!

I tend to forget how much I like 7. I had only listened to one Beach House album prior and I didn't care for it. But I dunno, this new one stands out to me. It's definitely going to end up on my top 20 at the end of the year. I don't think the rest of Beach House's discog is worth pursuing though.

Yup same here. I didn't really know about Beach House until Depression Cherry came out and everyone was raving about it. It wasn't my thing. But 7 hit all the right notes for me. There just isn't a bad song on there. One of the few albums I went out of my way to buy this year. (I do have a few others on my wishlist.)

The first three Beach House albums are amazing and their best work. You are missing out if you don't try those. Teen Dream is probably their best overall.

loving hell, I have no idea what thread this belongs in, but I'm posting it here because it's indie and it's electronic and it has some pop elements, though I absolutely wouldn't call it a pop album. I just listened to SOPHIE's album from a few months ago for the first time and it totally warped my mind. It felt like Grimes' old stuff but on steroids and travelling through the stargate from 2001  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbsNInbydGQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uERIXLWeik0 I had heard her name before but I wasn't exactly keeping up with her career. Jesus, what a mistake that was.

I usually put together a personal favourite top 25 songs every year, but I haven't converted it to a more anonymous Spotify account yet (mine is attached to my irl name) so I'm still hoping to share that here. My top albums of the year though were, in order: 1) Dear Rouge - Phases 2) First Aid Kit - Ruins 3) Hey Ocean! - The Hurt of Happiness 4) The Fratellis - In Your Own Sweet Time 5) Frank Turner - Be More Kind This year felt so loving long. "Ruins" was loving 2018 still, holy goddamn

The first time I heard SOPHIE's album it blew me away. Second time... it held up okay but a few of the song's grated on me. I third listen might turn me around. Regardless, it's a very unique well put together album. My indie release of this year might be Moonsong's Lethologica because that album is just ace song after ace song. It's excellent from start to fin.

Oh drat, I'm listening to/digging this Beths record too. It's short and sweet and nothing that's going to set the world on fire but it's fun. I like the speed of these songs. It's a nice breezy little 38 minute listen.

I can never really pin down albums of the year as I just consume as many tracks as possible. That aside, I think the only two albums I listened to front to back several times was Dear Rogue - Phases and Boygenius. This year was one of the best years for shows for me. Saw a ton of new stuff and ones I have been dying to see. List was: Bad Bad Hats x2 Dream Wife x2 MØ Starcrawler Soccer Mommy Sunflower Bean K Flay Charly Bliss Fickle Friends Amyl & the Sniffers Dear Rouge Boygenius The Beaches Shortly Might drive to the other side of the state to finish the year with Murder by Death too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nCPP8FpNIY

Here's songs from my 9 New Zealand albums of the year, plus two excellent singles. Some great music coming out from this end of the world - The Beths are probably the most exciting, but there's a bunch of great diverse stuff. https://open.spotify.com/user/1261664115/playlist/2q2o0FmJamVP2PIp0dzanN?si=Yj5tx4wJT06eGgqm1a1UWw Also I was in Melbourne the other week and went along to Tilley's album release gig, and it was great. She's worth checking out - has kind of a Florence and the Machine vibe going on. https://tilleysong.bandcamp.com/ cptn_dr fucked around with this message at 12:07 on Dec 23, 2018 |

I think this Voidz album could've had a shot on my best of the year list had it not been for the intolerably lovely vocals. I really like a lot of the drumming and synth lines and guitar work on here (even though it's not quite as memorable as old Strokes stuff), but goddamn, Julian Casablancas' voice sounds like loving garbage on several of these songs, both when he's using vocal processing and when he isn't.

DasNeonLicht posted:Is it just female vocals and 80s-influenced production? Is this a movement? Is there a name for it? Is it just derivative? Who else is doing this? Costume-rock? Retro-pop? Hauntology is Mark Fisher and Simon Reynold's term for a more general nostalgic mode. This sounds like an apt description of rock's state: quote:As a reflection of the zeitgeist, hauntology is, above all, the product of a time which is seriously "out of joint" (Hamlet is one of Derrida's crucial points of reference in Spectres of Marx). There is a prevailing sense among hauntologists that culture has lost its momentum and that we are all stuck at the "end of history" (source) It was inevitable really. We had the 70s just two or three years back with Tame Impala's Currents etc. Slowly the nostalgic mode trudges forward. Just a year ago everyone was hyped up over Pitchfork's Best Tracks of the 80s roundup. Reynolds and Raymond Williams and a bunch of others would tell you this is mechanical, that cultural nostalgia always lags a few decades back and probably pop's just increasingly finding ways to sublimate that feeling. Plus the whole "rock's dead and it's impossible to innovate" vibe everyone's on.
