How do you come up with something like that?

fightoffyour Posted June 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2018 4 songs from the upcoming album by Big Red Machine - Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Aaron Dessner from The National. Pretty much guaranteed AOTY material: https://beta.p-e-o-p-l-e.com/album/big-red-machine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i'll give it a go today. I was listening to "Discover Weekly" on Spotify last night and a track from an artist called "Soccer Mommy" popped up, hate her name but the album is actually alright! 3 or 4 decent tracks That's one.

Yeah, Sleep Well Beast came out last year. I think their best was "High Violet" from 2010 (Blimey, time flies). Boxer and Alligator, too are both decent. As is all their stuff. That Soccer Mommy track is pretty decent btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Any fans of The Caretaker (British ambient artist who uses a lot of field recordings and such (aka. V/VM although that's more noise))? I've listened to the latest stage of 'Everywhere at the End of Time' this week, and it is beyond bleak ie. very good indeed. He released an album a few years ago called 'An empty bliss beyond this world', with the concept being Alzheimer's patients being able to remember specific songs, and then the places they heard them and how they felt, from their youth around and after the WWII period. He's one of the few ambient/dark ambient artists who reminds me of Propergol, a French noise project which (amongst other things) produced an album around the concept of a commercial airliner in flight, from preparation, to take off, to experienced turbulence, to landing (Ground Proximity Warning). It's fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Nat Birchall is a sax player, usually in the John Coltrane vein. This time it's Reggae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2018 No new Tool album this year I'd like to say I'm surprised but I can't. I don't understand how they take so long to make an album. They've been actively working on it for about 3 years. Even Maynard is begging to rest of the band to finish it. Assuming it does come out next year it'll have been 13 years since the last release. Perhaps they'll call it 4000 Days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version I was listening to on Spotify had all the song names mixed up. Dunno how that happened! I was trying to google info about that christmas song and it got very confusing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nas album is good. Production remarkable again. That's 3/4 top quality albums he's made this month and only his own was a let down. I want to hear the album he scrapped two weeks before release.

I'll let you know which one of your favourite albums is better Belatedly throwing my two pennies worth in. For me it’s between “Alligator” or “Trouble will find me” as their best album. The former has catchier and more instantly memorable tunes (“All the wine”, “Mr November”). The latter has a more rounded sound, that’s a bit more subtle but once you “get it”, it really gets under your skin. Having said that, I have the impression that “High Violet” and “Boxer” are the more lauded albums by critics and fans alike, which is fair enough. All four are worth investigating. I’ve not got round to listening to their latest album, been meaning to for ages. While it’s not quite as good as their later stuff, “Sad songs for dirty lovers” has some really enjoyable stuff (the string section on “90 mile water wall” is particularly good). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Just who are The National? Bearing in mind I've been out the UK since 2010 and I've no concept of any new music bar the 'phonics and the manics. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 18, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Wrong thread. Either way, give the Soccer Mommy album a go! Really liking this band at the minute. Hoping they tour soon. Bet they're awesome live. Crows. Edited June 18, 2018 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
