Is there a stand-out 'Does it Look Like I'm Here?', 'Holkham Drones', 'Ravedeath, 1972' of this year, yet?

- Been digging M. Geddes Gengras quite a bit
  
  Had listened to a couple of tapes previously but have gone pretty deep, most probably due to the awesome Sun Araw and Congos collaboration.
  
  His work's pretty varied, ranging from Keith Fullerton Whitman style synth workouts to almost full on noise, but he also does the blissful drone stuff amazingly well. As the OP was looking for Emeralds style drone, would massively recommend these two (think both are actually from late last year rather than this year, but whatever):
  
  - 'Magical Writing' (Peccant Tapes)
  
  This sold out, but available to stream and buy digitally (foe $3) at his bandcamp
  
  http://mgeddesgengras1.bandcamp.com/album/magical-writing
  
  - 'Rebirth Los Angeles' (Full Of Nothing Tapes)
  
  Think there are some of these left:
  
  http://fullofnothing.net/fon23-m-geddes-gengras-rebirth-los-angeles/
  
  Full of Nothing also have a bandcamp for people who don't fancy buying tapes from Russia!

  Dan_S | 25 May '12, 21:30 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - Just read that back and it sort of looks like I might be being snide about Full Of Nothing records simply because they were from Russia
    
    Really didn't want anyone to have that impression. I ordered the tape from them and it came within about a week and not only this, but they threw in some free stuff too, so would totally recommend ordering from them.
    
    Was trying to make light of the fact that ordering a cassette tape from thousands of miles away was quite extreme lengths to go to just to hear an album, but I'm sure loads of people in this thread have done something similar. Apologies to Full of Nothing records and anyone who thought I was being smarmy.

    i guess the title was more to draw people in, and making it a bit more like 'i play a song, you play the next song' rather than anyone going 'well this is actually an ambient or minimal techno record' if you get what i mean? so glad this thread has taken off.

- Nicholas Szczepanik ~ We Make Life Sad (pay-what-you-like d/l)
  http://nszcz.bandcamp.com/releases
  While i generally find his art concepts great ('Dear Dad' is a brilliant title for a drone record), i find the artwork/title of this one just a bit erm, mawkish (sorry bud!) but the music itself is great as always.
  
  Gareth Dickson ~ Quite A Way Away (12k)
  This is a more of a singer-songwriter record to be honest, but the label affiliations and the way echo is used (esp.) do give it this lush, almost drone-like feel while at the same time being quite anxious & restless. It's a really good record.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNF60BEj6N0
  
  Black to Comm ~ Earth (Digitalis)
  More weird, dark & tortured than lush but v. interesting record.

- It’s maybe not exactly what you’re after
  
  But the new Cinematic Orchestra (on Ninja Tune, who are ON FIRE at the moment) is pretty lush in a swooshy bathtime kinda way
  
  whatisthewhat | 29 May '12, 16:36 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - I should say, it’s not really Cinematic Orchestra
    
    more a set curated by them, and featuring music by them, along with songs by Austin Peralta (hero) and some others. Dream Work by Dorian Concept and Tom Chant is like Luke Abbott meets Colin Stretson meets <insert composer that influenced Muse> and is amazing.

  In their own words: "Hey everyone -- thanks for the patient ears and eyes -- OESB is
  getting back into gear -- not high gear yet, but low gear is better than no gear"
  
  Such great news. My favourite label by a country mile 2009-2010, but all they managed to release in 2011 was a free download April Fools's Day 'tribute' to Creed. When the had a 'hurricane sale' at the end of last year, really thought it was the end of the road for them.
  
  First new release is an Alice Cohen LP called 'Pink Keys' which if it's anything like the last one she put out will be awesome. Also coming out on CD which I think is a first for OESB. Hopefully will be the start of another deluge of incredible records that can be discussed at length in this thread...

  http://aguirrerecords.bandcamp.com/album/ou-du-monde
  
  Those of you who liked Peaking Lights last year MUST listen to this, it's probably the first 'guitar' album i've listened to this year i've fallen for. Syrupy tropical stuff, sweet like mangos. Aguirre are on such a tip at the minute.
  
  E_H_Gombreak | 2 Jun '12, 14:41 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - I've got the tape of this
    
    It's the first four tracks on that album. These sound like new vesions of them, or maybe they've been scrubbed up with a bit of a remaster. Been waiting to hear a good deal more from this guy for two years. He;s got a split with Golden Dwarves on Steak Au Zoo that came out this year too.
    
    Do you know other Russian psychy droney people like Sunbells Fenimore (essential if you like this - http://sunbellsfenimore.bandcamp.com/) Twilight Owls, Velvet Breasts, Arabian Horses, Spirit Catapetl, Love Cult - and more a more industrial/dadaist bent; Asian Women on the Telephone.
    
    all great artists.

    - New tape just out on Aguirre by a Russian drone dude called Black Sky Chants
      
      Hadn't heard of him before but apparently also records as Bedroom Bear too.
      
      Don't really know much about the Russian drone guys but this tape is great. Agree with Mr Gombreak - Aguirre is pretty much the trade mark of quality at the moment

  Picked up on a recommendation from Volcanic Tongue. Double cassette.
  
  If you like the heavier end of Barn Owl and Expo '70 then this is pretty much perfect. Two hours of heavy amplifier worship. Couple of guys on banjo and lap steel guitar (!) apparently, but you'd never know. Lot of pedals and a bit of tape manipulation too by the sound of things. Only listened all the way through once so far but it's already one of my favourite things this year

  definitely one to watch, I got her 'Pollen On The Brow' cassette last year and it's a really dusky folky sort of drone built up into these worldspaces of lyrical music and sound and field recordings, a bit like how Julia Holter crafts her releases. Debut LP 'Familiars' will be out on Digitalis soon.
