70s style singer/songwriter album resembling Bill Fay
i listened to all four of these today, and these are superb recommendations. three of them are definitely going into my chart, and i'm teetering on the fourth. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
Money Store, TPAB, To Be Kind and now Kids See Ghosts.
I thought it's an awesome move from him, I can totally see how it would appeal to his tastes. Will definitely help cement this as a cult favourite down the line, I think.
I've honestly been listening to his album like twice a day since the stream and I'm not with it bored yet. I don't see it elavating from my good-to-great rating, but the album just makes me damn happy, and seeing it get a 10 makes me even happier.
Some quick thoughts on some other releases,
The Snail Mail debut seemed really dull to me, confused why Pitchfork is holding it in such high regard. There was one song with a trumpet that I can remember deviating from the typical indie sound, the rest was pretty melodicless and forgettable, don't see myself giving it another spin.
Similar thoughts on the new Natalie Prass album, but it seemed to have some actual dynamics. Will likely set it aside for a second hearing for another time, I think there's something more under the surface.
I was disappointment with LUMP until song three (I think) kicked in and then it just totally clicked with me. Really cool project, unlikely collaboration that works really well, and isn't something I've 'sonically' heard before. Was too short and inconsistent, but really excited to see where they take it next. So much better than Marling's recent work, even glimpses of Jenny Hval in there sometimes.
Tropical Fuck Storm is pretty wild, very solid release. Not really my jam, but some unpredictable instrumentation and well written lyrics. Felt pretty long but maybe that's because almost everything else I've been listening to lately has been around 30 minutes hahah.
Believe the hype:
Hope Downs by Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever
The enthusiastic reviews by Pitchfork, AllMusic and many others are all spot on: this is a fantastic guitar album and 2018 breathes a lot of fresh year into guitar music, not only via the old guys issuing very fine New albums but also via never bands like this one.
What can be better than lying on a beach in Corfu sipping at a Café frappé and listening to the new Kamasi Washington 😁 Heaven And Earth! by Kamasi Washington
