oh man - anyone who quotes Monty Python typically gets my vote (Bošković), but I fell in love with the other.

Difficult albums to pit against each other.
When Bošković is in their groove, they've got something going on. Wish it was a smidge more consistent though. And I never say this about any band, but I kinda wish they sounded a little more like Radiohead (In Rainbows era). Like, 10% more. I think it would suit them.
Fullman/Wong flew by for some reason. Was over before I knew it. Dug what they had going on, but it just feels so odd to compare it to a psych/pop/rock record...
I mean... are either better than the other? Dunno. Enjoyed both though.

I definitely prefer the sparer Fullman and Wong to the more mercurial opponet, been meaning to listen to the former forawhile (thanks Streams), but Boskovic is def a good bit of fun

Love your pick! Reminds me a bit of Ariel Pink. I guess that's the hypnagogic pop element.
Really tough matchup! Been listening to both a ton while camping.

Fullman/Wong: this filled an itch I've had for experimental classical music. For whatever reason, it was absolutely the perfect album to listen to the other day when I heard it for the first time. And on another listen, you start to catch layers of the LSI (and cello too) that weren't apparent at first. Great recommendation.
Bošković: I feel like the single genre descriptor on RYM doesn't do this album justice. There are a lot of inspirations from all different angles here, from synthpop to art punk to even a little funk. But yes, neo-psychedelia seems to be the best descriptor if you're only using one.
Overall I think the classical album was really really cool, but Velika Praska was overall slightly more interesting to me. This was a tough decision, but I went with the latter. |
This. all of this. Captures what I'm feeling perfectly. Both great picks, but I find myself playing Velika Praska more often. Reminds me a bit early Gorky's Zygotic Mynci too!

This was the only match up from the play in rounds where the album I voted for got through!
