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.
hmm. tom waits would not be your thing then most likely. i always got a hyper comforting vibe from three love songs, but i find a lot of weird shit comforting.

What exactly do you like about it? The manic percussive gamelan, the wild free-jazz side, the long-form structure, the larger ensemble, the live show aspect?

>Ross From Friends - Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes >Styles: It's called outsider house because it sounds like you're standing outside of a house that is playing music >Related: AЛ-90, Project Pablo
Despite being a relatively new genre, outsider house seems like it doesn't have anywhere left to go. Sun soak your synths, loop some warbled vocals in the background, put on some dusty kicks and claps high in the mix aaaand you're done. I won't lie, it sounds nice, and the opening and closing tracks have some fine grooves. I would happily put this on in the background of a party. When it comes to sitting and listening, I just get bored. There isn't a lot to chew on since it seems so low effort and the aesthetic wears on me. Every song feels so empty and limpwristed. It reminds me a lot of future funk.
>Eric Copeland - Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect >Styles: Outsider House, Neo-Psychedelia, Acid House >Related: Honestly, no clue
Quite the polar opposite of the above album, Copeland has a much more fresh and nuanced take on outsider house. You'll hear none of the aforementioned aesthetic trappings on this record. Instead, the only real similarity is the (intentionally) lo-fi sound. The use of samples here is far more varied and creative, and you can tell he was trying to have fun with it by meshing some strange and frankly ugly sounds with a strong, rhythmic backbone. Only trouble is, these samples can be hit or miss, and often these tracks far overstay their welcome. In general some songs straight up could have been cut and there is a lack of cohesion between tracks. From my understanding, this is a new direction in sound for Copeland, and this album seems like a trial run. His other album also released this year is a lot shorter, so I look forward to checking that out for hopefully a more condensed and fully realized version of this sound. Still, I enjoyed this album and I recommend it if you're into off-kilter beats.

Teen Suicide - I Will Be My Own Hell Because There Is a Devil Inside My Body (2012) >lo-fi indie, midwest emo
Super melodramatic and over-the-top, with a certain enough charm to it. This coasts on the fact that it has a really great sound to it. Ray utilizes lo-fi to its full extent, deftly creating dense, scratchy, shoegaze-influenced soundscapes, even if the songwriting itself may not be that great. Ray carves out some cool melodies here and there, he just tries too hard to make his music something it's not—unique.

missed in the last thread, wanna reply like fish boie did
i'd definitely argue that /daily/ does have a decently big influence on the popularity of certain lesser-known albums, but that rarely extends outside our little bubble. albums/artists that get associated with certain trips here (fishmans/pale cocoon:FISH; sondre lerche:nyar; dialoghi del presente:jangle; khana rung thawi:torts) may get large followings around here and on RYM because they're constantly posted or talked about by trips here, but that really means little outside of RYM ratings or last.fm plays. lots of these albums were already decently RYM popular before /daily/ came around as well. fishmans may not have had the internet popularity they did before /daily/ began, but long season was already starting to get popular before FISH came around. for me, at least, people seem to associate me with albums like bad timing, key to the kingdom, and logic songs, even though I picked all of them up due to their prior semi-popularity on the site. bad timing already had 700 or so RYM ratings, key to the kingdom was a givingbear album before i started memeing it, and i picked up logic songs from a sharethread. /daily/ is incredible, i love it with all my heart and i've spent three years of my life on here, but it's really not that big of a thing outside of the people that regularly come here.
also, i have 21345 RYM pageviews

If anyone wants to hear a weird 2017 release, this is worth checking out. Throat singing, jew's harp (aka khomus, pronounced "ho moose"), improvised (and incredibly realistic) animal noises, weird tribal drumming, basically the weirdest New Age album ever. All done by one very odd shamanist woman from Yakutia.
it is a lot of fun I could go for a mosh right now

The Decemberists - Picaresque (2005) >chamber pop, indie pop, indie folk
I definitely admire this album more than I actually like it. Indie folk is generally a genre I enjoy, but it's really obvious to see that most artists in the genre adhere to specific lyrical conventions that essentially boil down to being sad. It's an inherently personal genre, so it's interesting to see an album that focuses more on storytelling, folklore, and myths over anything else (that's not ITAOTS). The storytelling here is second to none, it's unique and above all it's incredibly well done. The music is pretty much the opposite of that, it's your standard poppy indie folk stuff. Nothing bad, just incredibly bland and basic, for lack of better words.
2.0+
Stars - Set Yourself on Fire (2004) >indie pop
Does often seem like a pale imitation of some other mid-00s indie bands. To blatantly swipe from a RYM review "Like Arcade Fire without heart-scattering emotion; Like Broken Social Scene without badass sounds; Like the Smiths without drama and existencialist irony; Like the Cure without depression", this album takes a large amount of influence from other bands without ever truly capturing what makes those bands memorable. While this may not be a memorable, essential album it's a very solid one. "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" is a fantastic song, and the grandiose chamber pop sound that makes up much of this is inherently listenable without being too obvious.

Charles Bradley - No Time for Dreaming (2011) >soul
Yeah, a lot of modern day soul artists like Bradley have very derivative sounds, but you'd really be hard-pressed to find soul this good and pure past the '70s. Leon Bridges and Aloe Blacc have the classic sound down pat, but they pale in comparison to Bradley, who brings an authenticity to the sound that truly makes it sound like a lost album from the classic days of soul. Bradley's vocals are among the most passionate, gritty, and raw I've ever heard, the man oozes soul from every pour and puts his whole heart into every single word he sings. His band is great too, not the most original surely, but tight as hell and the perfect compliment to Bradley. R.I.P. Mr. Bradley, I wish I'd gotten into your music sooner.

Adult Mom - Momentary Lapse of Happily (2015) >indie pop, signer/songwriter

remembering something out of nowhere rn:
back in january 2015 when I was bigger on them, Aureate Gloom by of Montreal leaked (scheduled for release in march) a couple months early. I thought at the time "how the hell does stuff like this even happen? How can a band be sitting on 100% finished material for that length of time?" I understand there's a lot of people, operations, meetings, handshaking, setting up tours, promotional work, etc. when it comes to anyone making money to any capacity the music industry, so I can see why an artist might choose to wait on releasing their music until all of that is figured out, but how can a band have something completely finished that they choose to sit on for that long? Does it really take months to do all of that? Wouldn't all of the business elements of running a band that needs time and effort be done in the process of making that album and not put aside on until afterwards?
So I looked into it and apparently albums leaking months or in some cases years before their intended release wasn't very uncommon, especially in the age of the early Internet. It just confuses me how it happens so often.
not really trying to make a point or anything, just something that was on my mind. I'd love some further insight into this though
charles bradley kicks so much ass. I'm glad I got to see him before he peaced out
get that waits

Ayden Murphy
The new Schwee Schwee and Chelsea Wolfe leaked well ahead of time too I don't think they were watermarked either, which means someone who worked on the album must have been angry
The way some bootlegs happen is pretty fascinating too, I think the old Dream Syndicate and Angus MacLise bootlegs released because some disgruntled intern copied whatever tapes he could find laying around
Tyler Wood
the english translation of nekojishi came out today on steam I've been playing it all day my friends have accepted my confirmed furfaggotry i just applied the R18 patch from their website anyone got some degenerate-core?
Most of the time it's just that the label wants the album/singles released at a certain time. Like, take Rihanna for example. Def Jam undoubtedly decided to release "Good Girls Gone Bad" on June 5, 2007 to capitalize on the "song of the summer" phenomenon. However, they must have decided her subsequent sound was more winter-worthy, as her next several albums ("Rated R," "Loud," "Talk That Talk," and "Unapologetic") were all released in Novembers of their respective years (2009, '10, '11, '12).
One more hilarious thing to remember about Rihanna's marketing career is that the hit singles "Disturbia" and "Rehab" from the album Good Girls Gone Bad were released in 2008, almost a year after they came out on the 2007 album. And they only hit the charts when they were sent to radio stations as singles!
But desu I was surprised to learn how the business can work like that. One of my good friends interned at Columbia (iirc?) last summer, and her team was a few months into planning the promotion and release strategy for the new Towkio single, "Drift." If you were not aware, Towkio is an up-and-coming Post Malone knock-off-ish rapper with a few hundred thousand monthly Spotify listeners. Basically, he's not much (yet, optimistically). Regardless, the label had the release of just that one single planned months in advance. Since it now only has just over one million plays on Spotify, I reckon it's considered a dud, but I think that's beside the point.
So yeah, labels are pretty good at marketing if anything. Let's not forget how long Will Toledo toiled away on bandcamp producing amazing albums for years, only to blow up overnight after release two mediocre albums... on Matador. I posted the lyrics to Twin Fantasy on Genius before he blew up, and I get notifications whenever those songs are annotated, and it was really funny to see the annotations start rolling in when he signed to Matador, before he even released Teens of Style.
Isaiah Evans
Sorry, correction:
"Disturbia" was newly recorded for "Good Girls Gone Bad: Reloaded," which was released in 2008 with the new single, but "Rehab" was indeed only released as a single on October 6, 2008, well over a year after it appeared on the original album in May 2007.
But yeah, Rehab didn't even enter the charts until November 2008.
