Sunday 'what have you been listening to?' thread (last.fm optional)
1 Los Campesinos! 20
2 Thee Oh Sees 19
3 Baths 12
3b Ernest Martin 12
5 Guardian Alien 11
6 Yellow Eyes 10
7 Oneohtrix Point Never 9
7b Volcano Choir 9
1. No Blues really is a fucking stellar record. I found their last couple of records a little unengaging but have embraced this one like a petulant child.
3b. Really incredible old bluegrass/blues record called 'That Last Inauguration'. Found it on Daniel Bachman's blog I think. Well worth looking up if you're into anti-Communist devotionals fingerpicked on banjo.
5. Spiritual Emergency (the track) is pretty great - not sure it's an entirely worthy follow up to See the World... but I'm still very excited to see where Greg Fox goes next. He's got a (plantable...) album coming out next month too.
7. Relistening to Replica after noticing it got a repress. I liked R Plus Seven a lot in parts but I do hope he returns to something similar to the Replica format (a bit more like trip-hop, dustier samples, a generally sort of foggier sound) maybe just for one more record as opposed to sticking with the crisp maximalism of his newest stuff.
Also:
Tera Melos in anticipation of seeing them next weekend. Proper lads, proper math-rock.
Mark McGuire's new one a fair few times - embarrassing and beautiful.
Infinite Body/Aquarelle/Secret Pyramids & some others - loads of drone to get me through Being & Time.
What have you guys been listening to?
