@penfield the new record by Matthew E. White leaked....this is the dude affiliated with Natalie Prass. I'm excited to listen

 

[Adam3000]

Saw this came out today, feelin it..

Yo this shyt is nice as fukk and I aint even a Sufjan fan like that

 

[Adam3000]

The musicianship on this Matthew E White is


This shyt aint fair brehs

These Spacebomb studio motherfukkers got the folk rock game on lock

Whoever here is from Richmond Virgina, stand up and let me know so I can add some rep to your tally

Nevertheless, Spacebomb make albums that sound like a million dollars – Big Inner famously featured a nine-piece horn section, an eight-piece string section and a choir – on what appears to be a shoestring budget. They say the reason they can do it is the reason they founded Spacebomb in the first place: for a relatively small city, whose main contributions to pop have been D’Angelo and the preposterous metal band Gwar, Richmond is apparently almost comically overburdened with musical talent. “Overabundance is an absolutely accurate word,” laughs bassist Cameron Ralston. “I mean, it’s irrational how many great musicians there are here.”

Spacebomb got these dudes playing on the cheap just because of market saturation

And we as listeners get to reap the benefits

I'm actually only 2/3rds through my first spin but I had to comment, couldn't wait. Not commenting on the album as a whole yet, need to give a full and more attentive listen. But shyt is sounding top quality.

OH shyt


The fukking GOAT Colin Stetson is teaming up with the violinist from Arcade Fire for a sax/violin collab album

Looks like I'm gonna have my new dark room headphone record that I've been waiting for

Not a chance in hell that this will live up to my expectations though. Colin Stetson's "New History Warfare Vol. 3" is in my top 5 albums of the 2010's so he may not be able to do that again

They have released the first track. Its got that classic Colin Stetson sound with the new wrinkle thrown in (the violin). If you got 8 minutes to spare and want your heartstrings tugged at and your mind fukked, give it a shot. If you are impatient, skip to 4:00 and listen from there but you're fukking up

CHVRCHES did a cover of Cry Me a River.

I need a studio version of this ASAP.

 

[Danie84]

I own Bjork's Debut, Homogenic, Post, Vespertine, and stop listening after Volta (Independence

Day). Yesterday, I listened to Vulnerica. The Icelandic Unorthodox Alternative GOAT always got a way of getting me caught up in my emotions

love me some Lenka


songs a bit different though

 

[Adam3000]

Bruhs this Colin Stetson/Sara Neufeld song has me fukked up today

Already was a sad day because I'm saying goodbye to coworkers cause I'm moving, but then I couldn't stop playing this song cause its so damn beautiful and perfect but at the same time its gut-wrenching

Yall are missing out if you can't feel this.....its beyond music. shyt draws from your deepest emotions if you allow it to

Just cracked this open today, shyt is really good

Low key Natalie Prass is also one of my favorite records of the year, I keep going back to it. I feel like this will be the same way.

Yep, I think I like it better than the Natalie Prass actually. Both are amazing

Gonna check out this Tobias Jesso Jr. album today

 

[FrostBite]

Anyone else getting jiggy with this Tuxedo album (Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One)? It's got an 80's funk feel to it. The whole album got me like

[Adam3000]

Feeling this Tobias Jesso Jr. 2015 strikes again


Lots of classic-style songwriting in the beginning, but as the album goes on starting with the bouncy "For You" the sonic landscape shifts. I'm glad it didn't end up just being 45 minutes of attempts to recreate "How Could You Babe"

I'm even picking up some post-breakup Beatles vibes

@penfield another one that needs your input

Songs from the album:

I've been waiting on his album for a minute

I first heard him with this one



and it seems like more instruments and the band haven't held him back. Dude has that '70s singer-songwriter feel, millennial Randy Newman
