House For Sale by It's Immaterial

Nostalgia galore: It's Immaterial's new album sounds like nothing happened since 1990, and 1990's already sounded like nothing had happened since '86.

Songs by Adrianne Lenker

Adrianne Lenker coming in hot with this album. This is far and away my favorite work of hers to date, stunning album. AOTY candidate for sure.

Hey Norman, glad to see you around. Not going to lie, got a little worried after the events that happened last week. Hope you're doing okay.


Pivoting, here's some recent 2020 albums I think people should check out—



Bichos by Raúl Monsalve Y Los Forajidos
(bombastic afro-latin jazz-funk)


Lithium Blast by HHY & The Kampala Unit
(Jungle-y afrofuturism)


The Tropisms Of Spring by Clinamen
(I'm not 100% sure what to think of this one yet, I think it's pretty decent, but fans of King of Limbs-era Radiohead might dig it even more)


Familiar Future by Dougie Stu
(That laid-back funky stuff)


Poy Sian จังหวะ by Maarten
(For those who like the bleep-bloops with the structure of a broken radio podcast)


Acts Of Rebellion by Ela Minus
(Minimal-ish house but less minimal that minimal would suggest)

And the new Róisín Murphy gets my full support.

Instrumentals by Adrianne Lenker

It's also interesting that Lenker has released Instrumentals as a separate "album," even though they feel incredibly entwined. They're all part of the same session, coming out of the same meditations and ruminations. The LP has them as separate discs of the same "album," which is far more appropriate in my opinion as a way of organizing the music.

Make sure to listen to Instrumentals also, it's equally beautiful.

Can you really fly from Lille to Tourcoing? Man, I so dig this 21st century :D


No, i misspoke. Lille - Tourcoing is only a short bus ride. I recently discovered that the mix as been posted on Souncloud here. It is quite good, especially the closing track.

Also salut à toi camarade français 😉

Also self promotion for my diary going through the entire Autechre's discograpy 😁

Also did anyone listened to the new Gorillaz ?

I am listening to it right now and there are some good tracks on here, even thought like the previous two albums it doesn't feel like a Gorillaz album. I wonder why Damon Albarn continues doing music under the Gorillaz name, because you can discernably hear how he doesn't care for the concept anymore. On here it feels like an excuse to make music with its mate (that is ,apparently, the entire music industry :shock:), which is cool, but i miss the Gorillaz that really felt like an actual band with all the lore and visuals. The cover art is even ugly, which is really weird for a Gorillaz album.

Disagree. This is my album of the year with MTBMB, I thought it was incredible, only one weak song but that is still above average imo.

Not really cared for a gorillaz record since 2010 and even that was because plastic beach was the avengers of my favs at the time. Lots of "Oh shit, Lou Reed's here? Damn is that Mark E Smith? Mos Def AND Little Dragon!" moments for me.

That one Vince Staples song off of their return record goes though.

In addition to all the credited extra vocalists on many of the songs, Mick Jones & Paul Simonon also perform on a track (they're in the liner notes but the track name doesn't say "featuring...").

I wasn't impressed with the new album.

On another note, I just picked up A Letter to You, I'm excited to get into it. I loved Western Stars last year, and I'm excited Bruce recorded another with the E St Band.

Letter To You by Bruce Springsteen

Yeah I think they toured with Damon for the plastic beach live show too which is pretty cool
