This is now #1 in my 2021 chart, topping Parrenin. Mindblowing stuff from Ghana on the gyil, an instrument I'd never heard about before. Trancey af. Hayden, you might like this, and I can imagine a bunch of BEAers might as well (Repo ?)

Oh man, on a day when the new Tyler, Modest Mouse and Mountain Goats drop, the album I was the most excited about was new Spellling. And it did not disappoint at all. She's put together an incredible collection of art pop songs. Noticeably less electronic and prog pop than Mazy Fly. That's not necessarily what I expected or wanted, but it works so well.
I agree 100% with you on the new Spellling album. I was expecting a lot more people to be talking about it because it is breathtaking. One of my favorites of the year for sure.
Hopping in because I haven't posted in a while. Here are some albums recently that have rocked my socks. (Also can we talk about how big of a day June 25th was for album drops???????)
Incredible album. Blew me away beginning to end. Her lyrics are top notch and her style is distinct. Each album shows serious maturation in craft. She's too talented. Highlights are "Cheers" and "I Dream With a Baseball Player"
Insane production on this record. Really taking Wolf Alice to the next level after their Mercury Prize. I also love the concept approach here, focusing the album on the narrative of her breakup. Lyrics are great. Highlights are "No Hard Feelings," "Lipstick On The Glass," and "Delicious Things"
Dacus' best album so far. Concept record also, looking back at specific moments of her past and examining it all like a film. Great music, great lyricism. "Thumbs" is a career highlight to be. My favorite is "Going Going Gone," a complex and beautiful ballad with a chorus of all your favorite people (Phoebe Bridgers, Mitski, Julien Baker, etc)
This came out a while ago, but just listened recently. Far and away her best record yet. This is a pandemic record that needs to be heard. Personal songs examining loneliness and diving into the depths of existentialism that the pandemic brought. Phenomenal songwriting. Extra relevant for us New Yorkers.
And I know I'm late to the game, but this album fucking rocks. Best post-punk record of 2021 IMO. Is post-punk the next big genre? Me thinks it might be a big one this decade with this British revolution....

microhouse done in the Romanian minimalist style (by a Chinese Belgian guy) that perfectly hits that sweet spot between club bangers and afterparty vibing. is tasty _________________ A Variety of Artists

Just realized Fantano gave Spellling a 10/10. I'm not sure if I should feel cool or uncool for loving the album before Fantano crowd ๐
In all seriousness I'm still debating whether it's the best, 2nd best or 3rd best album I've heard this year, give it a try if you haven't, especially if you're a Kate Bush enthusiast. _________________ Overall chart Fake overall chart
