Twin Shadows Zola Jesus Matthew Dear Anika Forest Swords
Enjoying all immensely. Particularly the Zola Jesus and Twin Shadows. Zola Jesus is a new music crush I think. Trust Me is my song. It's got that epic 80s night drive type music vibe. With Twin Shadows the jams are Slow and Forget.
The Matthew Dear Black City album is kind of black mud sex feel. Like how Nick Cave makes me feel, all the while pounding through sounding like sort of Nine Inch Nails funk/disco sound.
Meanwhile Anika scratches my Nico itch a little bit, and the Forest Swords give me something to listen to between Burial and James Blake songs.
@texture Shit, for some reason I hadn't listened to Anti-Pop Consortium - Tragic Epilogue in ages. My vinyl is so worn out. Funny thing is there are plenty of popish songs on there. If you like words and sounds it's !!!. Human Shield, Rinseflow, the end of Disorientation, so much good stuff.... now I'm on a nostalgia trip. Gonna listen to Company Flow - Patriotism, Freestyle Fellowship - Heavyweights, The Grouch - Rap is Senseless, Organized Konfusion - Stray Bullet, Ice - Trapped in 3-d feat. El-P, Chillin Villain Empire -C.V Vault and We're Here To Stay, Ras Kass - Nature Of The Threat, etc..
http://sinister-echoes-and-exotic-realms.blogspot.com/ If you like dark, ambient, psych, blah blah! Just found this. So many mixes!!! It's gonna keep me busy for a while. Really awesome. But, uhh, is it possible(and if so easy) to put all the tracks into metadata of the mp3? I'm never going to remeber what these are a week from now.
The backend for a lot of the mixes is from http://robotdj.net/ Never heard of it, but wow. I downloaded a random mix and it's good too. Problem is, the site doesn't link back to the creator, so no track list, no checking out the mix creators website. :( Maybe that's intentional?
Most recently picked up 'Radio Silence' album by Blue Peter (the Canadian 80s band, not the BBC kids show), 'Little Dragon' and 'Machine Dreams' by Little Dragon, 'Look at What the Light Did Now' DVD by Feist, 'Dioscuri I, II, III' by Billygoat, 'Baggage' EP by Signe Tollefsen.
@texture I am quite enjoying the mixtape I have got but perhaps because it resonates with some of the stuff I am experiencing right now. Heartless is an excellent piece of music imo and I like Swagger Like Us,Astronautilus has a nice flow. This is the first Sole stuff I have checked since anticon so I dont really have enough material to judge,although in general it seems less self obsessed/introverted but more political,he seems to rhyme more of his lines now too.
