Looks cool, carols! In my queue! Glad you’re loving the new black midi

I have never had my special moment with them, but I imagine many of you are overjoyed and excited about the new Sweet Trip? What are the general impressions from fans of theirs?
Absolutely loved it. It's their dreamiest and most romantic release yet. Pays appropriate homage to their glitchy, IDM side from V : D : C without being a copy-cat. I wish every dream pop record captured this sound and feeling. _________________ ...and for dessert!
3) "Recuerdame" was actually sang by Natalia Lafourcade in the credits to Coco, so it's hard to say this is a cover version when she was (one of) the original artist(s). But it's definitely a re-imagining which is cool.
Yeah, this is the first time she's put in on an album though (and it's definitely her vision of the track). Think she did a lovely job with it.
Fair enough on the Musas comments (of which I think Vol. II is superior, but I think I'm going with Vol I for Un Canto Por Mexico). Because I'm doubtful for a Vol III of either, jumping into playlist-mode, I'd mush Hasta La Raiz, Musas Vol I & II and Un Canto Por Mexico Vol I & II's tracklists into—
Danza de Gardenias
El Balajú / Serenata Huasteca
Cien años
Alma mía / Tú me Acostumbraste / Soledad y el mar
Veracruz
Una Vida
Hasta La Raiz
Recuérdame
Mi lugar favorito
Ya no te puedo quere
Tus ojitos (Vals de la guardia vieja)
Eclipse
Para Que Surfrir
Un Derecho De Nacimiento
Nunca Es Suficiente
Nada es verdad
La trenza / Amor completo
Mexicana Hermosa
Luz de luna
Ya No Vivo Por Vivir
La llorona
Desdenosa
Vámonos negrito
Vals poético
Cucurrucucú Paloma
Rocío de todos los campos
Sembrando Flores
Lo Que Construimos
Soy lo prohibido
Te Sigo
Mi Tierra Veracruzana
Lo que construimos
Son amores (That's Amore)
Tú sí sabes quererme
No más llorar
Alfonsinoa y el Mar
... 😨 however long that is. Probably close to 3.5 hours. Think it's a solid Mexican songbook bible though. _________________ Doubles & Conch
Thanks hayden for the rec (and for the awesome work reccing this and that and this again that are all, imo, at least of interest. I don't post often anymore but I stillread and listen, so thanks).
Also, I'm not sure whether Jimmy and/or Maguey are still reading around, but this rec's right up your alley tweewise, friends, Flying Nun meet TVPs meet The Vaselines.

Excellent bit of indie pop. Dialled back but bright on the ears. Not a bad day for releases (and I'm not even halfway through what I want to hear). _________________ Doubles & Conch

Appreciate it Norman. Glad you're picking some up 😄 (hit or miss or somewhere in the middle).
I could see a lot of BEA enjoying that comp. I know 'pre-teen rockband' is a hard sell, but they were at least ten to fifteen years ahead of themselves in every aspect. It's a great showcase of their discography. Little jealous tbh. I don't usually place archives/comps on years charts, especially decades after they were recorded, but I might make an exception here. Glad they're getting a moment to shine. _________________ Doubles & Conch
Hayden’s actually underselling Índio Da Cuíca’s debut, it’s in my top 20 and I’m not big on MPB (yet, making my way through the classics). The story behind his Cuica drum playing is interesting too. From my chart because I’m lazy:
Quote:
Wonderful modern version of MPB and Samba (and other Brazilian genres like Jongo, Afoxé) with a dash of avant folk. Indio is a cuíca (Brazilian friction drum played by rubbing a wooden stick attached to the drumhead) maestro who has developed a melodic style of "drumming", as in he can literally play a melody with what is a non melodic instrument.
For reference, he’s holding cuica on that cover (which is brilliant btw). Irl it looks something like this

Glad you liked it too LedZep. Bit of a late bloomer, dropping his first album at 70, but I'm glad he did nonetheless. I imagine it'd be a blast live. Seems like an interesting dude. He had an absolutely bizarre photoshoot for the record too.
Checked out the new ThouxanBanFauni after a recommendation on RYM. I think I slightly prefer this record to Young Nudy's although both are excellent trap albums.
Young Nudy sounds like Gucci Mane but his production choice is that of Chief Keef.
ThouxanBanFauni takes a more airy cloud rap approach. He reminds me of Travis Scott at times but generally less hype and more minimalist production.
For those very scared of the future who know they have far too much on their mind to be drunk at 2am stumbling some street you've never seen in your life yet know it's the only place you can possibly be that makes sense.
R&B/neo-soul album, heavily influenced by Frank Ocean. High tenor soulful voice with gorgeous tracks and arrangements. All about exploring identity and duality. Beautiful stuff.
Very cool rap/electronic album that just dropped on Vernon and Dessner's 37d03d label. Collab between Sirius Blvck, Oreo Jones, and Sedcairn Archives. A lot of reflections about Black identity in the wake of BLM this past year. Brilliant lyrics, sick beats.
