Mt. Modular posted:I almost feel like the entire Italians Do It Better collective deserves their own thread, but I've been a bit obsessed with them lately. The timing couldn't be better, of course, with the just-released new Chromatics album Kill for Love. Is anyone else absolutely in love with this right now? I had actually never heard of Chromatics, Johnny Jewel, or Italians Do It Better till I stumbled across a review of Kill For Love on Stereogum a day or two after the album was released. The more ambient portions of the album tend to drag a bit, but they're cool in their own right. But yeah, album is great.

Been listening to Unknown Mortal Orchestra's self-titled debut lately. They're sort of a garage/lo-fi psych rock-pop band with some really catchy tunes. Great summer driving music, too. I don't know, the lo-fi production (particularly the drums) kinda remind me of The Beta Band or Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, actually. If this sounds like something you may sorta like then you should listen to a song or two of theirs instead of reading my terrible descriptions of their music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-36lCKovBg And this is unlike the rest of the album but really cool, psych-punk if I had to come up with a name for it (a thing I'm terrible at doing which is why you should be listening instead!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqfWtqC4dZk Gio fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jun 6, 2012 |

A bit late on this, but Crystal Stilts are a pretty good band and "Shake The Shackles" is an absurdly great song. It's been on repeat for awhile now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJoMTgANXPc It's like a more poppy Joy Division, I guess. I dunno, but it's god drat catchy whatever it is; that jangly guitar riff hits you at the outset, then the way it just crashes down into the chorus is...yeah I really like this song. The rest of their latest, In Love With Oblivion, is good as well; hazy lo-fi psychedelic rock/pop, basically. If you like good music give them a listen because I think they make good music!

Ahahaha, that video sure is something. I really like the song, though, now that I've got time to listen to it a bunch. It reminds me a lot of "Water Curses". I can't wait for the new album.

Hence "kinda bit of a rant", thought it was worth noting. Regardless, I'm finishing up the album for the first time right now and am really loving it. e: wow, "Sun In Your Eyes" is an amazing closer to Shields. Gio fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Sep 1, 2012 |

Because it's simple, catchy driving music, I've listened to Gorilla Manor disproportionate to how much I actually like it. It's an ok album with a couple stand out songs, namely "Wide Eyes" and "Who Knows Who Cares". Their new song is pretty cool, regardless. Also Woods are great and the new album kicks rear end, maybe more than At Echo Lake. Definitely a bit more of a psych rock throwback album, which isn't a bad thing.

I was listening to Friendo today, a pretty cool band I found out about from a Jagjaguwar split that Women did with them and a couple other bands, who weren't bad but Friendo stood out as the most similar to Women and imo the best of the bunch. If I had to sum them up, I'd say they're a poppier version of Women, i.e., bare bones lo-fi melodies with a similar sort of stilted guitar tone. It's not the most appealing of descriptions, but they're a fun listen. Check them out, their album Cold Toads is pretty good. This song is them at their most poppy (off their split with Women): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AAFHFhAS0U This is my favorite, though--slow, quiet song with some gorgeous vocal harmonies. Ignore the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwMCgBEqjzM

I've been listening to Monster Head Room by Ganglians for the past few days now (thanks to Last.fm), and it's really good. They're a throwback to 60s psychedelic rock/pop ala Jefferson Airplane, Velvet Underground, and Beach Boys--an influence that's thrown around a lot these days, but in this case it actually fits; the falsetto harmonies layered with random yelps, whoops, and whatever-the-hells sound a lot like Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys (and Ariel Pink), best exemplified on tracks like "Voodoo" and "Try To Understand", two gorgeous, blissed-out pop songs. The album is pretty varied, too, ranging from the aforementioned pop songs, to hypnotic psychedelic freak outs on "The Void" and "100 Years", to somber acoustic numbers with "To June" and "Modern African Queen". "Valiant Brave" may be my favorite, though, as it sort of incorporates all these things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLnt1ZDa0OA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JbU2tDkec8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4sdqaYHZNA

Elphiem posted:Heard this on the Artie Lange Show: CoCo Beware is a really nice album. Nothing special, but I really liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV_SS5LJZ-4 This is actually better than the album version and easily my favorite on the album. I absolutely love the vocal interplay during the main chorus, i.e., "They say you're wrong (It's all you have to give) It's alright, it's alright." The added percussion parts in the video make it hard to even listen to the album version anymore. Anyways, I'm not a huge Ty Segall fan, but the first half of Slaughterhouse is pretty good, especially this song. It rox my sox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAXONGchVtc

One of my favorite music videos for sure. songs loving great is what it is. floating coffin is pretty hit or miss, but when they get it right they really get it right. 'night crawler', 'I came from the mountain', 'no spell', 'sweets helicopter', and 'minotaur' are all great songs.

Next month they are about an hour away for dirt cheap. i saw them in detroit back in 08 before wagonwheel blues came out. they played like four songs and left, though two were long drony songs ("show me the coast" and "there is no need for urgency" maybe???). anyways it's okay.
