I can't believe it but this Bombay Bicycle Club album is actually pretty sick. I can't really fukk with them much because the singer has one of those "I auditioned for this band" types of voices that is too bland for me, but the production on this is stellar and the songs are well written. It is good enough that I may even buy it despite my problems with the singer

Gotta give some mild praise for Ricky Eat Acid "Three Love Songs"

Might not appeal to those of you with more pop-oriented tastes because there is a lot of ambient stuff on it, but there are moments of great electronica sprinkled throughout mostly starting after around the 19 minute mark and moving forward

My tastes have been getting a little more eclectic recently. My friend was showing me some bands recently and was talking about a song he was going to show me, might have been Mars Volta or something. He mentioned that there was like 3 minutes of birds chirping before the song actually started, and I remarked dead serious that I probably would enjoy the birds more than the song. That is how bad I have gotten :russ:

Im the one with the "weird" music taste in my inner circle and it only goes as far as the slow Indie music like Bombay Bicycle Club seems to be

Some bands take time getting into, especially as your tastes change, Animal Collective was that way for me.

I got 3 tracks into Bombay Bicycle Club, wasn't really moving me.

New Future Islands b-side



New The Men song



A bit too glammy for my tastes



I've been coming back to this quite a lot :ehh:



Has this been posted? Posted again if so :yeshrug:

I don't even really know what to make of Banks. She's pretty mediocre, but this song is ok.

That hi-hat :datazz:

Last September I posted the first song from this guy Mas Ysa
http://www.thecoli.com/threads/official-2013-alt-music-thread.74403/page-44#post-5496831

His debut EP has dropped. I couldn't find a leak anywhere though, I'm just gonna take a chance on it and buy it from Amazon just because I like the single so much. But from what I'm reading there seems to be only 1 other aggressive song like this on the album, the rest is more downtempo and solemn

Went ahead and uploaded this EP for anyone that wants it. It really only has like 4 songs and then a bunch of short interludes. Don't be surprised if this guy drops an album of the year contender eventually

@bsmooth @ThisRightHere both of you dapped my original post last year so I assume you like "Why," you might want to check this out

Can't say I'm that into any of the 3 St. Vincent songs from her new album that have been out. They are all decent songs, but if that is the best the album has to offer I won't be that interested
