^^^The Pre-New - Cathedral City Comedown
bigbollocks britrock has glorious existential crisis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeXDFxetVmc
^^^Extra Life - Blinded Beast
slowburning avantprog cataclysm that goddamn enters the inferno

Gwen Stefani
Anywhere - Rosa Rugosa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfBJIviZXXI
eastern-ish sounding acoustic psych thing
Mirrorring - Silent from Above
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEUai6B1lkM
lush acoustic/droney Grouper/Tiny Vipers thing
is Cedric B-Z channelling......Sandy Denny?!
oh wait he's not singing
this is some kickass psychfolk, approval - gains a lot by not striving too far towards Comets-On-Fire-esque conflagration
part 2 is also in the vague postcode of Fairport Convention albeit a bit more slowcore - I am going to guess you are a fan of theirs
the best bit is the end, where the shimmery electronics come to the fore
cbz is drumming
rachel fannan totally is though.
i didn't even realise extra life had new stuff. sounds killer.
Are you sure that anywhere track isn't from the 70s?
think i like it
Amazing how quickly the OP's 2-song only request was ignored...
:)
Yeah, not complaining or anything...
And apparently you're not the only one doing it - I'd probably be doing it myself but I'm at work and need to look busy!
I think a point is being made about my own effusiveness in various bygone music and movie 'Name Your Top 10s'
either that or GB's gone full hater, which is fair enough, coz I roll full LME
Cedric Daniels chasing Jay Z and Beyonce across the border there,.
was a nice idea for a thread :(
and now it's ruined.
:( indeed
I'm gonna come back later and make a point of listening to every single link posted by people who followed the rules, and ignore the rest.
How do you like that, rebels?

royal headache
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiXXAiA0YGQ
i've seen a few mentions to both bands, but not enough
First one:
superior-grade indie with indelible hook + plangent guitar + feedback squalls!
second one: not my thing but at least it ain't 14 minutes long
geographer - shell beach (not my favourite track on the album but i really enjoy the repetitive guitar riff)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4AS1v4QC-M
a whisper in the noise - black shroud (random song pick off the album because they're all glorious)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXh0KBoYyqQ&feature=relmfu
first one:
would probably react with great wonder and joy were this to play during a TV serial, which is the sort of place I'd expect to find it - good, rousing indie
second one: well that was nice, swelling stuff, probably fares best when well-worn, like a favourite scarf
agreed on all counts :)
Villalobos ~ Put Your Lips
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FWHpCbqM18
Moomin ~ Beautiful As You Are
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXCSsNnUGvo
#1 - Villalobos slowly shakes everything loose around the 'Put Your Lips, Put Your Lips, Put Your Lips...' hook. Shouldn't be half as infectious as it is.
#2 - Like walking through spring rain, just wait for the sultry sax to kick in.
Villalobos one is kinda...Autechre-y
Early period Autechre but still. Is this where deep house meets ambient? For maximum enjoyment I might need some visual accompaniment, or a very unified nightclub
2 is pleasingly polyrhythmic, and yes, vernal. Hypnotic. In short, music I'd expect Chris Morris to include on a fourth series of Blue Jam
Gravenhurst - Three Fires
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd0SE2qKJKM
Daniel Rossen - Silent Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ5C8qYlavE
Gravenhurst
with a name like that I was expecting some Demdike-Stare-esque Ghost-Box-isms but it's a dude with an acoustic waxing wistful on my ass.
Rossen...classic poprock vibe...gaaah it's not 100% my thing. Think I'll quit reviewing EVERY song on this list, just the ones I really like!
What I like about Gravenhurst is how well he manages to mix whimsy with malice
it shouldn't work but there's a sad-yet-sinister vibe to his stuff that I love.
The second one isn't normally something I'd be into (it's the dude from Grizzly Bear, who've never really done it for me) but I really like that song. It's just kinda burrowed it's way into my brain and refuses to leave.
Can everyone make like me or ethricdouble and provide a line's pithy description for each track, too?
cheeeeeers
Done!
hey guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB0prce4eDA
Ty Segall - Scissor People - pretty groovy garage rock but posting mainly for the cool cutup bit that comes from nowhere after about two minutes and flips around the speakers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjbujOMHUh8
Awol - Amen
This just has a cool beat and some mint metallic sax honking
hahaha
it's like Eye joined White Denim for ten seconds
awesommmmme
anything involving Micachu is going to have at least some greatness...let's see...
:D
:D :D
fucking exquisite
I love those horn sounds
They are the sort of sounds that would drive some people to distraction!
I wish plug.dj actually worked again so we could do this sort of thing in factual real time, it's a bit more fun.
We need an alternative!
Motorpsycho and Ståle Storløkken - Into The Mystic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atV4fQ4Z68k
Mahavishnu Orchestra meets Dungen? idk
...meets Danava meets Jaga Jazzist meets Rainbow IN VALHALLA
Its a mammoth of a tune.
I think you'd really like late period Motorpsycho (probably the early stuff too), Heavy Metal Fruit would be right up your alley I reckon.
yeah it certainly needs more of a delve
Have you heard Danava, on the other hand? I reckon you'd approve...
I hadn't, but hunted down a youtube after I saw
you mentioned them here. Seems like Id like them. Added 3 albums to my 'to listen to' playlist in spotify. Which one first?
Unouno or however it's spelt is the one I have
it's got a couple of absolute screamers on it, The Emerald Snow Of Sleep and *especially* One Mind Gone Separate Ways, which might be the zenith of the whole trad-freak-psych wave
you listen to that goat record boyos?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3OKLIBnZJY
I need to, it seems.
sweden got that good shit
holy mother of god
this is the heavy shit
The bass tone is gnarly.
OMGSW
sounds sooo similar to Ulysses Last Stand (minus Bonhams best playing ever) that I'm not sure I can separate it and dissect it. Liking that other one though.
*Achilles Last Stand
WITH MORE BLEEPS
Yeah not like its a pure cover or something,
just the melody on the vocals and the backing track. Sorry mate, I cant un-hear it now.
That Pre-New album is bloody brilliant
playing that lots at the moment.
In response to the OP. I should probably link two songs as well, maybe later.
okay
ricardo villalobos - emilio
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0KyGAfZDHU
1st half sounds like a computer having a coughing attack from laughing too much and the 2nd half sounds like it slowly losing conciousness and dying.
joy orbison - elipsis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6FE9ODH-Lk
didn't really get this track until i was sitting in the sun enjoying a cold one. late sunny vibes with a surprisingly catchy vocal sample. the pianos turn it from a jacking house track into a 21st century rave anthem
probably fire's highway by japandroids twice
Love this song/album.
Going to see them in November, maybe the only gig I will have going to this year :/
oh where is this?
Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
alright then i won't go see them
Come on over man,
you can crash at my place, got an extra room for you.
I stopped off in Phoenix once
It was so fucking hot. I pretty much just sat under the air conditioning for the day.
That's about alls you can do in the summer.
3 months of hell but the rest is prime time.
I was waiting on a new rental car
I decided to walk a couple of miles down the road to get a cable from best buy. Nearly died. It was like 42 degrees or something :/
I'll save my next visit for the winter.
Had to break out the fahrenheit converter. yeah 108
is pretty normal really, gets up in the low 120s sometimes (49 celsius)
if i start swimming now
i'll just about make it
Pretty good pick if you only get to go to one
Incredible both times I saw them this year.
Def excited, cant wait to fist pump like mad
and belt out all those hooks with the bros.
I WILL HAVE GOING
ffs
i think that kids are gonna be discovering and falling in love with japandroids
for the next 30 years. they're perfect. going seeing them toward end of october... might take a pile of mdma, see if it's possible to levitate from happiness.
I WILL HAVE GOING SEEING THEM
'The House That Heaven Built' for me.
I actually, physically, cannot listen to it just the once. I have to play it over and over again until I'm jumping about screaming the lyrics.
IF THEY TRY TO SLOW YOU DOWN
(slow you doooooooowwnn)
TELL THEM ALL TO GO TO HELL
tbf
i've been madly in love with that song too, and younger us, and most everything they've recorded. there are only 6 tracks across both of their proper records that i haven't starred on spotify at some, indubitably drunken, point.
Haha yeah I know the feeling.
I've never known a band, except maybe the Pogues, so perfectly suited for whiskey drinking. By the early hours of the morning everyone in the room is just chanting the lyrics and falling all over the place. If I develop a liver problem when I'm older I'm blaming them.
^ Might have just sold me the album.
I listened on Spotify but wasn't convinced.
I think I'll love it when I'm driving or nor writing lesson plans in front of a laptop.
While lesson planning? :D
I just have an image of you now pumping the air and chanting everything while a load of teenagers stare on in bemusement.
*Having a wank when I should be lesson-planning
^^^how DiS' favourite convict came to be
That's the mainstream pick though, you see.
(but yeah, totally agree)
BUT YOUR NOT MINE TO DIE FOR ANYMORE
SO I MUST LIII-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVEEEEE.
Gonna be listening to this all night now. Again.
*YOU'RE
I WILL HAVE GOING SEEING THEM.
Japandroids > Grammar
Seen Japandroids 2x
and never gets boring :)
HELLO
The Company Band - The House of Capricorn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCkLJhnBT28
Hey it's yer man from Clutch and Fu Manchu doing that really strutting, hard ROCK and or roll. Fallon has the best voice ever.
Officers - Co-Education
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ijdhkCa1mY
Bit With Teeth-era, style Nine Inch Nails, awesomely heavy synths.
I love me some Fallon but I can't seem to get into The Company Band
I think I underestimated how important John Paul Gaster's weird ass grooves are to the Clutch sound.
Great idea for a thread.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hKP5ljDar8
Angel Haze - New York - I literally love everything about this song from the handclaps and clicks to the references to ashy feet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2ed5osQYvU
El-P (and Mister MFN Exsquire and Danny Brown) - Oh Hail No - The Exsquire verse is brilliant and Danny Brown went from being somebody I thought looked weird to somebody I think is brilliant. That line about, "I like the part where you cry/ I like nothing else" in the El-P bit is also great.
<3 NY
Here are 2.
Frozen - Tindersticks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEd0BbunCQU
So it's Tindersticks with everything great (IMO) that that brings, but with drums and atmosphere that takes what they are about into a whole different place.
Lone - Raindance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6spUOjnW6g
It's quite ravey, but quite ambient and the drums are just Machinedrum-y good.
Jogging - Deadweight
http://jogging.bandcamp.com/track/deadweight
I can't think of a second one so Future Of The Left - Failed Olympic Bid will do nicely
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gByIIRPcU7U
Maybe I should have just linked to another Jogging song instead.
Here's 2 more....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MdhsCeasBQ
Bob Mould- The Descent (Live on Letterman)- true return to Sugar-era form in all respects.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy2qlJAaIBw&playnext=1&list=PLE21A9E6FA928BE23&feature=results_video
This is from Black Twig's album Paper Trees released earlier this year and eternally on repeat since I got it....shoegazey joy
