The point of these threads is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time.
I don't even have to tell you guys anything, I just felt uneasy knowing there's no /daily/-thread up desu

I have been making an attempt to try more metal as a means of appreciating the genre to a greater capacity, about to listen to Infinite Fields by the Belarusian TDM band Irreversible Mechanism. Otherwise have recently tried the following; >Galaxie 500 - Today. (41 mins. Slowcore/ indie pop). I do not understand how this is considered to have been one of the main prototypes of shoegaze though nonetheless I enjoyed it. There are many interesting chord progressions centered around seemingly linear, slow tempo drum patterns that really do draw from The Velvet Underground's self-titled, I suppose the influence is fairly clear. >Worm Ouroboros - Of Things That Never Were. (57 mins. Progressive rock). This was generally very comfy with tendencies to lean on avant-prog with some broader orchestration that set it apart from a great portion of other albums of its type. Would recommend if you are into that sub-genre.

Two bombastic, bright, and optimistic 'symphonies' on this disc - so very Michael Gordon, after all. I was at the UK premiere of Rewriting Beethoven's Seventh Symphony about five years ago and have been listening to a bootleg of the same recording as on this disc for years, so I won't talk about that one here. Dystopia is a nice title for a so-called 'city symphony' in my view, especially with music as muscular and alive as in this piece. Far from, say, apocalyptic or decaying, Gordon's music is exploding with energy and vibrating with joy throughout. The breakneck pace of movement is controlled only by the simplicity of the material, allowing small three-note cells to rotate and collide around each other, often accompanied by the screech of glissandi and swooping trombones as a kind of riotous grounding. It's an exciting conceptual texture and Gordon bases almost the whole work on its possibilities and rotations. The last third of the work builds up, fugue-like, from the ground to the skies - but unfortunately this gambit doesn't pay off. Too obvious and bombastic even for this composer, perhaps. David Robertson gives a characteristically vigorous and rhythmic performance.
Dystopia (2015) by Michael Gordon, recommended by Accel

Thanks to whoever recced me La Jetee (I think it was Rudi), it's p great.
>how hurricane goin? U okay? it's barely rained, at least where i live. storm is still a bit far from reaching the mainland puerto rico [little known fact we are an archipelago comprised of 7? islands], but the virgin islands are getting destroyed atm, seen some pics and it's not pretty. houses here are built like bomb shelters and glass windows are almost nonexistent unless you're bourgeois.
however, infrastructure is at its worst moments, so the whole island could be without power for 2-4 months and some parts could also have their water cut off.
we all die eventually, we are simply mere mortals.

>Little Kid - Logic Songs >Lo-fi Christian folk Some instrumental choices, like that railroad crossing used in the opening track, are a small choice that kicks some songs up from cutesy folk. All in all way more comfy than even Nick Drake, even as it
But fuck. these lyrics, dealing in some conversations I've heard before. The Lord Made Me Leave You is heavy shit.

>Duster - 1975 >slowcore
>Irato starts playing k im digging this but I can't fucking hear them >Memphis Took a relisten to fully appreciate and not label a snoozefest. >The Motion Picture Remind me, do you like Radiohead? I immediately thought of Kid A, hearing this. >And Things Seems to be building the EP to a point of finality. >Want No Light We full ambient now. I probably should have listened to this AFTER stratosphere. 6/10
>astrobrite - whitenoise superstar >Noise, shoegaze First album I heard from these guys was Boombox Supernova, which was essentially noisy drones. But not really too noisy. This is definitely the noisiest shoegaze album I've ever heard. This kind of shit is what I wish I could turn up my headphones all the way for without the fear of tinnitus. I wouldn't really call this shoegaze, it's mostly pretty noise with audible vocals and faint beats. By the time I reached valentina galaxina I was done with the same noise, because at that point it was almost becoming comical.
6/10
Great review. That's interesting how you saw more of this piece as joyful than I did, I think the glissandos from the brass and xylophone runs were among the choices that made me uneasy listening to this. Or maybe it was imagining this as "dystopian" from the get go

>Never played or handled. From what I was told, only 6 copies exist, the rest were never physically produced, as the box was a pain in the ass to build. Can send photos upon request. Will trade straight-up for Faberge Egg. Jesus. I wonder how that dude got a hold of a copy, is he a Keiji Haino friend?
Carson Morris
Holy crackers user, not him but Faraquet are fantastic. Also what is Chinese Football like? I was tempted to listen to them so that I could give them a rating on rym and make my map look more diverse thus allowing me to pretend that I'm better than others.
I gotta admit that it was a blind rec, but I've been meaning to listen to them. They're clean mathy emo so the American Football comparison is pretty obvious, but from what I've heard it seems like they have just a bit of a post-rock bent in the instrumentation.

Dominic White
I hear the energy and motion as a kind of dance. There are some dances with darker undertows (dances of death, or madness, for example) but the sheer movement seems joyful to me. But that's why I like the title, too - the engineering of utopia always entails repression, horror, and death, so couldn't dystopia be seen as a playful riot by comparison?
Christian Torres
Probably not. Friends with some record label dudes? Maybe
Zachary Torres
>the engineering of utopia always entails repression, horror, and death, so couldn't dystopia be seen as a playful riot by comparison? Well when you put it like that I can't help but use this interpretation too It really was a fresh take on the more common dreary and hopeless dystopia. The minimal phrases made each instrument sound individually alive and human, but the construction of it all was on the verge of maddened I probably shouldn't be giving this a 9/10 because of Nott's part on this album, but whatever

Jeremiah James
oh, you don't like the beethoven rewrite? I think that's a pretty satisfying piece
Nono I enjoyed it, but not as much as I did the title track. I just didn't want to be giving a 9 for the title track alone instead of the entire album
Adrian Johnson
I'm applying for my own >cumblogs at school too ill let u guys know if I get a spot

does he mean an actual faberge egg? what an odd request lmao

Also a Faberge Egg is probably even more expensive, it would be a trade down for the egg owner

LCD Soundsystem - American Dream (2017)
This is at least as competent as other indie pop stuff coming out these days. Rather, for that matter, the world has turned the page on this vaguely retrofitted indie dance pop trend that lasted for about a decade, as evidenced in the universal pans of albums from their peers in the past couple years, most recently Arcade Fire's Everything Now. I haven't worked out what exactly has replaced it yet--certainly music with a progressive social or political agenda at the forefront is a necessity--but the answer was clear that naive pop that's fun to dance to isn't fitting of the times like it once was. I also can't quite figure out how this album fits into the paradigm, because the recycled trope of the critique of the American Dream is vague or vapid here with James Murphy's least insightful lyrics to date, so I'll just drop the politics.
I also don't place much importance on the band's brief "permanent hiatus," but the point needs to be made: what exactly did they come back to do? The music is generally cut from the same cloth as the previous two albums, down to some near-identical beats. You could make the point that they employ some more studio trickery now with varied production from track-to-track, and "other voices", for example, has this weird microtonal bit in the middle that's kind of new to their sound. I just think the general idea of what this album is has been done better in every way by this same exact band in the past. I'll spend even more time with this album because I've dug everything from LCD Soundsystem in the past, but this is extremely lacking in catchy hooks, whereas This is Happening was filled with them, or more generally, ideas.
Jace Sanders
Songs like "oh baby", "other voices", or "change yr mind" are nowhere near ideas for completed songs. "oh baby" might be the closest with some melodies reminiscent of the sweeter moments in This Is Happening, but ultimately serves as only this vague theatrical introduction to the rest of the album. "change yr mind" is no idea for a song whatsoever outside of a rehashing of an LCD Soundsystem beat rehashing a Talking Heads beat with dissonant (microtonal?) guitar thrown atop, never to progress through its five-minute runtime. "how do you sleep?" is a similar song with no ideas until exploding halfway through (a full five minutes in, mind you) in this dread-induced club haze...one of the better moments on the album.
This isn't mentioning the singles that prompted fans to draw comparisons to late-era U2 (for the record, the title track is indeed a highlight but a shell of earlier LCD Soundsystem in every way shape, and form). It was 15 years ago James Murphy proclaimed he was losing his edge. I can't help but wish he would let it go. 5/10

going to post some reviews... The Doors - s/t Yes, very acclaimed and historical and all that. "Light My Fire" and "The End" still hold up very well (and make up like half the album), the rest not as much, but most of the songs are decent at least. 3.5+
Slint - Tweez Decent albinicore album, much less interesting than Spiderland but has some good songs interspersed between mediocre ones. 3.0-
Slint - EP The two songs on here could use some fleshing out, but they're both pretty good and more in the vein of Spiderland despite being recorded by Albini presumably in the Tweez sessions. My main complaint about the two songs is that they don't develop the ideas present that well over their six or seven minute run time. "Glenn" specifically gets to this point where you expect a distorted lead guitar to come in twice but doesn't really make anything of that build other than some very quiet parts mixed into the background, just making an uncomfortable atmosphere like "Don, Aman" "Rhoda" is much noisier and sounds a bit more like Tweez, but still maintains the uncomfortable minor keyed atmosphere of songs like "Good Morning, Captain" off Spiderland. It generally has a much more dynamic sound than "Glenn" that even has some, albeit short, quiet parts. They do this slide thing about half way through the song that just doesn't work at all. 3.0+
Shellac - Dude Incredible I don't know if it quite hits the highs of 1000 Hurts or At Action Park, but it might just be their most consistent over all thus far, no "Mama Gina" on this album, but no "My Black Ass" or "Prayer To God" either. 3.5+
Joseph Jackson
Encenathrakh - s/t So this is some unholy death metal supergroup consisting of the guitarist from Krallice (and also has an album with Zach Hill on drums, alongside a laundry list of production and other credits), the bassist/warr guitarist from the same group (who has produced/recorded/mixed/mastered even more stuff including the new Pyrrhon album and Aesthethica, so you can thank him for making Liturgy listenable), and drummer Weasel Walter who boasts a similarly large catalog including a collaboration with Jim O'Rourke as well as being the drummer for Arctopus. IF by chance you actually happen to enjoy Behold... The Arctopus (youtube.com/watch?v=wniXxeTJlyM) and other turbo prog groups like Ruins or Hella, then this may be enjoyable, but it has some severe departures from even those groups' sound. For one, the music is apparently improvised, rather than carefully planned on a staff like Arctopus did, it ends up sounding like a wall of grindcore noise or something rather than ultra technical metal. Every instrument seems to play independently and the drums have the signature shitty death metal tone to them where they sound more like a little click than an actual drum. Bass and guitar both go off on random chromatic tangents, riffs, solos, I don't know if there's anything I could really call a breakdown in this, but maybe those too. I can't say I particularly enjoyed this album, I'm not that big on dm, especially of the brutal variety, but I did dig None So Vile, this just doesn't hit the same kind of quality. 2.0+
Christian Taylor
Could someone please recommend a rock album with almost maximalist, orchestral instrumentation, that at the same time retains a caustic, noisy edge? If this isn't the right place to make requests pls no buli.
