Offical 2012 Alt Music Thread

Animal collective is always on teh "meh" side to me. They are pretty good but I wouldn't call them one of my favs tho. Really amped to hear what the XX has been working on for three fukking years tho. Their debut was ill

New a place to bury strangers is looking good too from the couple songs I heard from it. One of you compadres have a link?

There's a couple of new songs The xx played live in London about a week ago on Pitchfork and YouTube. They're alright. It seems like I'm going to have to hear those tracks within the context of the album to properly assess them.

Can't wait for Crystal Castles to release SOMETHING from the new album. A snippet, a creepy vid, a random twitter post... I don't care at this point, I feel starved.

Tell me about smh. I thought CC2 was a straight 5/5 album up there with my favorites ever. The whole album bangs from start to finish and it was a hell of an evolution from the first one. If they come out with some better I might spontaneously combust

So, who wants to tell me something about Holy Other? I heard this at work:



and really liked what I heard. I need to know more before his solo album comes out.

The With U EP is nice. Not much else to say though. Face Vega used the Yr Love beat for a song too.

Like dude above me said, Yr. Love is another joint that's dope.



Not sure about their discography, but i heard this in a mix and was like "yo wtf was that?!" I'll be checking for their shyt in the future for sure.

I had no idea they still had it in them.

This sounds like an updated version of Garbage and Version 2.0

Shirley Manson

came in to post about Electric Guest and I see Im late

but its good to see others have had the same reaction to this cd as me

I pretty much give anything Danger Mouse produces a change and he almost never fails

also that Yuna album someone suggested on the OG thread is getting constant spins from me

 

[Danie84]

There's rumblings about a new Fiona album
