Y'all need to get on that Blu & Exile album, my current number 1.
Yeah, that's one of the year's best. Fantastic record. Some funny things in their... I spot a few ideas/themes that I tried to undertake a couple years back. I'll make a few comments on it later, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Unlike the new Angel Olson 😐 ... which, I don't understand. She just... put her songs through a transistor radio. _________________ Doubles & Conch
Not listened to it yet but that's kind of how the production on Strange Cacti sounds which is still my favorite release of hers. Excited.
Well, you might dig it then. It's a similar sound.
One of my favourite aspects of All Mirrors was how clean it was :lol:. I liked the new direction she was going in. Most of the tracks on the new record are just different versions of the tracks on All Mirrors btw (spare... 2 or 3? something like that).
Being said, people seem to be liking it. Maybe it just didn't hit me over the head. _________________ Doubles & Conch
I like the string arrangements of All Mirrors (Ben Babbitt is a genius and Kentucky Route Zero is a stunning work of sound design in games) but in general the cleaner Olsen's production gets the less I like it. I go way more nuts over the back half of Phases' iphone recordings than I should. 🤣
Ah well.

The Wailers just released their first album in 25 years: One World. I am so fucking getting to that today. _________________ Do it yourself and let me play my music: https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=61802
After almost 5 years from their last album, their third album came out. And while there are dope tracks on it, and that could drastically change to taste, I would be lying if I didn't say I was somewhat miffed. I think my biggest issues could be boiled to how I find the previous eps and the songs they have made during their twitch streams to be more captivating and with the album, Energy just falls in not being a cohesive experience.

There's going to be a new Crazy Frog album... If he puts his ugly dick on "Rolling in the Deep," someone's going to die. _________________ Do it yourself and let me play my music: https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=61802
Quick forum search reveals both Cindy Lee albums came and went this year without so much as a mention on the forums except for an automated albummaster thread so I'm gonna try and do my best to explain one of the most important DIY bands in recent years.
Do y'all remember Women? Uhhhh wait let me rephrase.
Women were probably the greatest post punk band to come out of Canada and with them they influenced a generation of great acts. Palm, Ought, Patti, Guerilla Toss, Omni and more have all listed Women as one of their main influences when starting their respective projects and after the release of Public Strain, Women were set for big things. That was until Pat Flegal had a nervous breakdown on tour and the band split up essentially overnight. Matt and Mike went to achieve more commercial success with the less good project Viet Cong (now Preoccupations), Chris Reimer went to join the Dodos and sadly died soon after but Pat remained quiet and tucked away for years.
Cindy Lee is Pat Flegal's hauntological meditation on the past, the nature of gender identity and the human body's tangibleness (Pat's come out as non-binary since). The project combines 60's girl group melodies with reverbed out noisey synths and angular guitar straight out of a Jarmusch bar scene.
I really can't get enough of it. If this peaks your interest, check out these two records.
