Alright, so this is, so far, one of my definite favorite albums from this year. Phil Beaudreau is the former lead singer of one of my favorite bands, Shaimus. Since they broke up, he went off and did his own thing. This album sounds very different from the stuff he did with Shaimus, much more synthpop-like. Also, Beaudreau plays every single instrument you hear on this album, which I think is kind of cool (with the exception of the rapper that's featured on one track). Anyways, it's a really cool album, I like it a lot, I hope you all do as well.
You can listen to it here. And as a bonus, here is a cover he did of The Beach Boys' "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times", which, while not actually being released on the album, was released at the same time. And it's a nice little cover I think.
If you have trouble listening to it or want a copy just let me know

Sorry, lotsa work this week. Will try to give it a listen very soon. I'm way late on my ALC listening list though.

It was quite enjoyable, actually. Pretty straightforward and accessible, but also varied and not very predictable. It was certainly more interesting and consistent than any Shaimus release. Great find!

1. Burn Your Fire for No Witness
2. Shelter
3. The Gloaming
4. Ether
5. Moodeity
6. The Unnatural World

This wasn't too bad at all, I enjoyed it, but I felt a little underwhelmed at times. I'll be doing a second listen through headphones rather than speakers later on though.

Well.. I rather enjoyed that. Nothing new, but a very pleasant listen. Will give it another listen before the end of the week...

Sorry I completely forget about ALC until just a moment ago. I'll give this a spin soon and let you know what I think. Looks interesting

I haven't forgotten about this. This week just became a bit of a write-off for new listens once the MadGibbs album dropped. Will get to this in the next couple of days.
