Probably my least favourite of the five, although this is arguably the strongest set of nominees. Not a bad album in sight (although I much prefer Oneohtrix, BoC and Darkside to the other two).

I allowed Jackwc a moment to luxuriate on one of his favourite topics (outisde of asians and skincare of course). Here's Jack talking about Trouble Will Find Me by The National.

Across the sullen midwest, when the frontier was a wide-open bounty, there travelled men of Osage descent; redskinned soothsayers who it was said could spear open the clouds and let unto earth the heavenโs bounty. The settlers they visited would pay handsomely for them to perform their rituals, because rain was worth well its weight in gold. The rain dancers took their pay and laughed off with it back into the desert - for the Osage knew they could not draw the rain, but would instead ride ahead of the coming clouds they could see from the hills. After many moon cycles another band of conmen emerged from the midwest, riding ahead of the clouds that lay in the human heart. Singing songs that were instantly relatable and at once bitterly heartbreaking, they played upon already cloudy skies for a chance of rain. Trouble Will Find Me is a modern raindancer, but it will con you not for your coffers but for your cardio. Trouble Will Find Me follows the errant something you caught in your eye and dances you blind through the ballrooms of your own melancholy, toe-to-toe with every bitter sadness youโve ever endured.
In case anybody was unaware, his love of The National is proof that Jackwc is actually a 47 year old man who reads heartwarming travel memoirs in his spare time.

" All-star Swedish crew works perfectly in a fanfare free jazz sort of way, with metronomic/tribal Amon Dรผรผl undertones to it. Really good and haunting.". -Norman Bates
"Exit! ultimately ends with a cluttered free-for-all the builds from sparer, more defined components to an ending more in keeping with Fire!'s usual modus operandi, as more and more of the musicians enter the fray, leading to five minutes of truly joyful abandon. It's a fitting ending to this expanded version of Fire! that's unequivocally its greatest accomplishment to date. Broader instrumentation and a stronger sense of construction make Exit! both an exhilarating first experience and one to return to time and again, as its multiplicity of rewards unfold with each and every listen.". โ All About Jazz
