/daily/ - died edition

[Cameron Brooks]

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.

Copy/paste from last thread:

Cody ChestnuTT - The Headphone Masterpiece.

This one's a bit tough, because I'm kind of biased towards lo-fi shit and the instrumentals here are amazing, but at the same time it's really aparent that Cody's not a good lyricist (and neither a good husband from what I could tell). However, somehow it has a weird charm due to its blatant excess and the cocky douchebag attitude he expresses on these songs, it's like a way better version of Kid Cudi's Speedin' Bullet to Heaven. It pissed me off that some songs end abruptly without developing their respective ideas, and I guess that has to do with disc one being less focused than disc two, but the positives outweigh the negatives in my opinion. Also I'm convinced Dean Blunt and Frank Ocean took some inspiration from this album.

Got some reviews, only a few this time tho

>Dicks - Dicks Hate the Police / Lifetime Problems / All Night Fever (1980)
Wow, rym reviewers hold this release in very high regards. Like, they’re right, but since when is rym right about punk singles?
>8/10

>Dicks - Kill From the Heart (1983)
The slight blues edge heard on the single really comes out in force on their debut full length. Every member of this four piece makes the crazed, pounding sound work so well, but Gary Floyd’s vocal contribution is irreplaceable. The last track goes on for about 10 minutes too long though.
>8-/10

>The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (1989)
Cool mix of 80s UK indie rock, funk, and disco. There are so many iconic songs here.
>7+/10

>Crimpshine - Sleep, What’s That? (1988)
Man, the drums are so weird and shitty on the first song, and mixed so loudly too. And did he the bass player just sneak in the melody from Take On Me in the middle of the song? I should listen to more Bay Area pop punk.
>7-/10

>JPEGMAFIA - Veteran (2018)
The production is the real star attraction here. “Peggy” creates all sorts of highly creative, high-frequency, twitchy, fractured beats—equal parts genius and garbage. The rapping is a lot more variable in quality, and usually doesn’t work too well with the beats. When it does, though, it’s great.
>6+/10

>New Order - Substance (1987)
“Ceremony”, “Temptation,” (especially) “Blue Monday,” “Bizarre Love Triangle,” and “True Faith” are some of the best songs ever written—with little exaggeration, so it’s no wonder that even other charting hits like “Shellshock” and “State of the Nation” seem trite by comparison.
>8+/10

>Joy Division - An Ideal for Living (1978)
Wow, their punk was almost as good as their post-punk.
>7-/10

Gymnopedies are not only really famous (the first especially) but also they're stolen quite frequently.

Often directors of all sorts (film, anime, tv, whatever) will put a copywriten song as a placeholder in a scene while the film or whatever is being produced, then tell the composer to make something "that sounds like this". More often than not, the composer will end up just ripping the original song to varying degrees of success. It's not even necessarily because they're lazy or bad composers, it's because it's what they're being paid to do.

this is true of new order, but there's plenty other popular groups where the singles comp isn't their best release

Ronald Bruner Jr. - Triumph (2017)
>jazz pop, jazz-rock, neo-soul

While Thundercat, Bruner's brother, has stayed firmly in the spotlight, garnering massive acclaim for his solo work, Bruner himself has mostly been in the background. As a drummer, he has appeared on Flying Lotus' You're Dead, Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, and Kamasi Washington's The Epic, and he does great work on all three records, especially the latter one. On his first solo release, he lets these drumming skills loose, making for an incredibly frenetic and thrilling album, at least when it comes to the drums. Bruner hasn't really yet honed his skills as an arranger or a songwriter, he awkwardly attempts to bridge the gap between prog, jazz-rock, and soul, and while his efforts certainly are admirable, they don't come off terribly well. The shorter more concise songs usually fare the best, the most notable being "Take the Time", which features Thundercat. This is a stunningly ambitious record, with a fantastic central performance from Bruner, it's just one that represents an artist that can't step out of the shadow of his session work.

2.5+

Doldinger - Passport (1972)
>jazz-rock, progressive rock

This sounds just like any other jazz-rock record really. It's an incredibly careful, meticulous album, lacking in the instrumental freedom that makes jazz so unique yet still retaining a bit of a dirty, Hot Rats-esque atmosphere. This dirtiness mostly reveals itself in the album's heavier moments, which definitely end up being my favorite. Not terribly much else to say, if you like the style check it out, but it's not terribly notable in any way.

Freddie McKay - Picture on the Wall (1971)
>rocksteady, reggae

My knowledge of rocksteady begins and ends with On the Beach by The Paragons, so it's nice to get another album in that style. With this, I'm realizing I quite like the style. This isn't quite as brutally lo-fi, noisy, and straight-up FUN as On the Beach (seriously guys, check that album out), but it's quite great nonetheless. It is very smooth and soulful, anchored by McKay's vocals, and sometimes this can teeter on the edge of sterility. Luckily, there are some nice, heavy, bass-driven tracks to break stuff up. Really nice album.

Austin Peralta - Endless Planets (2011)
>post-bop

This has been on my radar for a couple reasons. Firstly, I knew of Peralta due to his tragically young death in 2012. Secondly, it's on Brainfeeder, and while Brainfeeder jazz is obviously bastardized to hell and back, it's a pretty consistent label. Thirdly, this guy is Stacy Peralta's son, and Dogtown and Z-Boys is a really great documentary. So, the music itself. Peralta is an absolutely phenomenal pianist, especially for being so young. He has a commanding presence on the album, yet he relies a lot more on ambient textural work than anything else, often allowing his side musicians to take the driver's seat. The music can often drift into tunelessness and formlessness, but it does that in a really pretty engaging manner. This guy had a lot of potential.

3.0-

[Easton Cruz]

Face Candy - This Is Where We Were (2006)
>abstract hip hop, experimental hip hop, free improvisation

This record lives and dies on the late Eyedea's skills as a freestyle rapper. He certainly possesses these skills, in spades, he's a really great technical rapper and he manages to command an imposing presense despite doing practically everything off the dome. The band, sadly, tends to fail him. They're okay, especially the drummer, but the instrumental tracks are absolutely pitiful, and they really don't add anything but extra noodling to Eyedea's performances. This is a really cool idea, it's just done kinda poorly.

2.0

Gold Panda - Lucky Shiner (2010)

Okay IDM. It's pretty warm and fuzzy, and as such it's really straight-forward. Not much to say.

its p edgy

[Evan Richardson]

anybody seen Gay Rap Collective 2017 live? im going tmrw night not sure what to expect

[Brody Lopez]

Been listening to this. This is essentially what I've 'gotten' from it:

Smog isn't all weird. There are a couple late-career albums that present themselves as a more-or-less conventional, slacks-to-sunday-service style of depressing indie-folk.

Julius Caesar, on the other hand, is the kind of album that starts arguments. It's really easy for either side of that argument to devolve their position into a series of heady, pretentious cliches like "...anybody could have made this", followed by, "...yeah, but this guy DID make it", or--my personal least favorite--"...it's unpleasant to listen to on purpose".

If anyone isn't familiar, there was a trend for a while in the early 90s on labels like Drag City to mass-release super lofi homemade tapes, most of which were deliberately unbearable. The concept of separating the mood of the artist and the music into two different entities--that is, discovering a way to "deliver" music in a way that suggests an underlying tone wholly outside of the composition itself--was popularized with Nick Drake. Daniel Johnston and Jandek blew this idea up to an extreme in their own niche ways; Smog is the logical conclusion, I think.

It's really, REALLY hard to talk about why albums like Julius Caesar are good without saying something similar to "it's bad on purpose." At least on Daniel Johnston's tapes, once you get past the lofi, there's a couple great melodies to be found and genius songwriting. Jandek's atonal singing is interesting to listen to, and his poetry is superb at points. But when I say, "Smog is the logical conclusion," I mean that Bill Callahan is so depressed (we have to assume), and the process of creating music is so totally overwhelming for him in his disabled state of lethargy, and he is so fucking dirt poor and so fucking sad and emotionally ruined that asking him to try at all and create ANYTHING sonically gratifying is just asking too much.

(1/2)

[Anthony Robinson]

I hate to call albums modern or postmodern, but Julius Caesar is almost begging to labeled as such. The aforementioned separation of 'music' and 'mood' here is so outrageously vast that it essentially becomes its own breed of weird avant-garde.

None of this is to say I've rejected the idea of trying really hard to ENJOY it: I'm not against the possibility that an album can bring emotions I never thought I could have to the forefront. In fact, after a couple listens, I was starting to experience that. Callahan is giving us a "I give up" kind of restless depression that's pretty unique, and when the album finally takes a melodic turn (as on "Golden") the result can be pretty powerful: like it's giving you a sample of actual hope sandwiched between the all-consuming despair of pain and boredom. So despite what I've said earlier, there are actually some albums that resonate in the moment. But you have to be REALLY open-minded, because you're probably not going to nestle-in easily.

So, rating this thing, you have the opportunity to praise it as a very unique and almost wholly conceptual statement, or you can just say, meh, didn't like it. Despite the sophistication and intellectualism, it's just not fun to listen to. And Callahan did much better at meeting the middle ground on future albums. So I'll do what's reasonable: right in the middle.

Alright /daily/, it's gonna have to be Lil Yo for the North America bowl.

As I said before the weaknesses of both these albums come from the constraints that make them interesting in the first place. Otherwise they are outstanding, but what Brötzmann sacrifices in musicality is far more taxing than what Lil Yo can't achieve in production standards and maturitiy.

Don't get me wrong though, in a lot of ways Machine Gun is a lot more unique and stronger. What deterred me from picking it as a winner is that as a music album it is far too challenging. It's gore. It's a nightmare in which the listener is beat, suffocated, persecuted and humilliated. It catches you with your pants down and takes you on an intricate music horror show, and that's hardly enjoyable.

Now about Lil Yo, don't get me wrong either. The tape's shit. Sounds like a bad demo. But the kid can rap, and it doesn't take that much abstraction to make out the qualities that make it stand out: the flow, the youthful energy and probably mostly the bizarre half imaginary world of a 15yo gangsta. So I gotta hand it to him.

Alright, today I made an exception and decided to listen two jap albums from the chart, because why not.

First: Utada Hikaru - Fantôme

This was really good, and it could be a perfect album if it got rid of the collaborators, at least on KOHH's case it was painfully obvious that he didn't belong on an album like this and was forced in for a promotional plug because them hip hop cred.

Second: The Gerogerigegege - Tokyo Anal Dynamite

Jesus fucking christ. This is ugly and disgusting in the best way possible. It's kinda repetitive and the 75 track gimmick might be considered overkill, but man if it wasn't a crazy ride.

[Ryder Anderson]

What makes you think Ocean took inspo from this album? Also why is Channel Orange so good bro

[Wyatt Anderson]

Just when you came back too. Well you've been here, but still

[Jacob Miller]

Have you listened to Endless? It's pretty much the same basic idea with a bigger budget: songs mixed on an unusual way (more "raw" if you will), minimal instrumentation (only a guitar or electronic beats when required), and filled with short 1 minute/30 seconds songs.

And when I'm referring to a bigger budget I mean the guest appearances (Arca, James Blake, Sampha) and the fact that it was a "video album" where Frank builds a boom box (if I remember correctly). In this regard, the bigger difference here is that Cody ChesnuTT barely had any money to record his album, so he composed and recorded the tracks on a hotel room and using cheap instruments; Frank Ocean probably wanted to make a riskier album by commercial standards and made some conscious decisions even though he had enough money to make something cleaner (see: Blonde).

[Daniel Nelson]

thoughts?

[Jaxson Thomas]

Lol did Gob really get you to listen to DGD? I had no idea we had fans of them on here

Well i need to listen to Endless now, but CC too it looks like. You make it sound great, and i do enjoy the risks Frank took with Blonde, so it makes me glad to hear that i might just click with it based on that.
