Yes it's shameful but I've started a list:
https://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/78nDved7zIQ5QvrzwmuTNG
So far:
The XX - Say Something LovingBrian Eno - Reflection excerpt (this actually counts as a 2017 album not a song but spotify has it as an excerpt so...)
Actually 2016 singles but full albums get released this month
Grouper - I'm Clean NowOndatropica - Lazalypso

Moka, are you saying there's a new Grouper in 2017?
― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Monday, 2 January 2017 19:39 (seven years ago) link
Yes! And if these two are any indication it will be the best thing she has released since 2007.

Insider intel.
Well, not really... I was sure I read about it somewhere but I've been searching and I can't find anything... maybe I suck and I'm wrong and I just got you excited over nothing.

Great news! So the new LP is called I'm Clean Now, or are you referring to the single?
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 3 January 2017 20:50 (seven years ago) link
I looked thoroughly online but see no reference to a LP. Hoping for one of course :)
― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Tuesday, 3 January 2017 20:58 (seven years ago) link
― flappy bird
She released a 7" with two new songs (I'm Clean Now / Headache) called Paradise Valley on Dec. 21st. New LP is a rumor that apparently I started because I can't find any info about it so... noone know if there's actually a new LP coming up or what its name is.

New Ariel Pink & Weyes Blood collab song "Tears on fire" is catchy as hell, chorus is jarring on first listen but the whole thing has grown on me. Probably my favorite thing he's been involved in years.

Have you heard Julie Byrne's live cover of Photobooth by Death Cab? She takes it to another level... there's something about her performances which really gets to me and I usually hate that emo lyrics + folk guitar combo.
― dance cum rituals (Moka), Tuesday, 31 January 2017 18:29 (seven years ago) link
She recently showed up on my release radar, enjoyed it but couldn't figure out if it was the kind of singer songwriter material the world has plenty of already

Hell no. She's really something else. Give her a shot.

Julie Byrne's "Prism Song" was one of my favourites from 2014, so cool to be reminded me of her now. Will need to check the album out :)
― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Wednesday, 1 February 2017 07:58 (seven years ago) link
I like her but I wouldn't say she's something else, I'm just a sucker for that kind of stuff (Alela Diane, Marissa Nadler etc.). I prefer Rooms With Walls and Windows but this one is solid too.

I'm not much into emo lyrics but her singing is very genuine so I'll buy in... also she's such a good guitar player! I'm yet to hear a live performance of her where she doesn't have a great tone on her guitar.

"In a part of Dublin known as the Liberties, which is also where the Vikings settled 1000 years ago, there is a small community of rebel horse owners. And a few years ago, a travelling street musician who goes by the name, "The Musical Slave", accidentally crashed her van into the wall of one of their urban horse yards – and out came a horse and a few boys. One of them brought her for a spin with a horse and two-wheeler, and from that day on she was hooked. She ended up buying her own horse and moving him into the yard...
The Musical Slave is a street musician and storyteller from Bergen, on the west coast of Norway. She plays tropical punk, and sings about love, the forces of nature, and the world economy."

^I'm liking this so far. It's nice that she keeps taking her music in new directionsite. More polished and jazzy than Short Movie.

I really like it. The video for "Soothing" is a bit er, um.

Still warming up to "Semper Femina" - "Don't Pass Me By" is a great track.
― Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Sunday, 12 March 2017 23:14 (seven years ago) link
A couple days ago I thought I wasn't even going to be able to get through the album (LM is pretty outside my usual) but then I came back to it the next day with Wild Once, which really clicked; then came back around and listened to the whole thing.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 13 March 2017 02:47 (seven years ago) link
Yeah it's outside my usual as well Rudipherous, tbh I like songs like "Soothing" and "Gurdijeff's Daughter" more than the other ones I've heard, which probably makes it clear I'm not familiar with her.
― Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Monday, 13 March 2017 02:50 (seven years ago) link
"Gurdjieff's Daughter" is my favorite song of hers. Maybe it is Laura Marling for people who aren't into Laura Marling. I've always wanted to like her though. She always seemed really solid, just making types of music I don't listen to much.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 13 March 2017 03:05 (seven years ago) link
"Gurdijeff's daughter" is like a really solid Pretenders homage IMO
― Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Monday, 13 March 2017 03:08 (seven years ago) link
"Gurdjieff" definitely one of her catchier tunes. It's not my favorite on "Short Movie" any more though. That honor would go to the lovely "Easy". Of the three albums I have by her, they all have there fair share of keepers.
― o. nate, Monday, 13 March 2017 03:30 (seven years ago) link
Mordy mentioned them upthread but the Sacred Paws album is great in an 'Electrelane play Vampire Weekend' kind of way. I really like the final track 'Getting Old'

Lots of going back and getting up to speed on new tracks from artists I've liked in previous years, plus a fair amount of rabbit holing on Spotify itself. I wish I still had time to scour blogs, but a) I don't and b) so many blogs are just dumping grounds for free PR mp3s or soundcloud links now.
Oh, and also soundcloud. Rabbit holing on there is usually productive.

He's like a poppier, more high-strung Cate Le Bon, which makes sense since she plays on all his albums and he plays on all her albums (and they play in each other's live bands).

Young Marco's compilation on his own Safe Trip label, Welcome To Paradise (Italian Dream House 89-93) is highly recommended. The vinyl's long sold out (although is getting reissued I think) but you can get both volumes digitally for just £8 on Amazon

Tarantula Wallpaper, Dracula Screensaver is the debut album from Danish band Starcrash and I am loving it - it's kinda classic rock/power pop with indie sensibilities, I'm thinking fans of Teenage Fanclub and perhaps Flaming Lips will be into it. Unfortunately I can't find much info about the band and I haven't read a single review of the record. But so far it's one of my 2017 faves.

I kinda thought Hazel English was neat when there was a steady drip of singles every few weeks, but once I heard them all together on a single album I got bored by the sameyness.

The EPs were better)Allie X - CollXtion II (craftmanlike synthpop, chugging away without much attention)London Grammar - Truth Is a Beautiful Thing (Hannah Reid is probably more talented than your favorite current vocalist)Nídia - Nídia é má, Nídia é fudida (ok, I mentioned this upthread, but Afro-house/electronica fans should be all over this)Hammock - Mysterium (plugging away at the ambient side of shoegaze for over a decade, this is among their best)Widowspeak - Expect the Best (more Mazzy twang indie.

Big Thief - Haley

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 2 November 2017 06:39 (six years ago) link
It sounds like something I would have been listening to in 1983, maybe from Touch and Go Records, but so far I am enjoying it a lot, even though I hardly listen to anything like this these days:
Melkbelly - Nothing Valley
I think this vocalist has a good punk voice.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 2 November 2017 15:52 (six years ago) link
She reminds me a bit of Mary Timony.
― o. nate, Thursday, 2 November 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
The drummer is quite good too, and the guitars hit the spot for me (though there are no surprises). Very hooked on this for the moment.
I'm not familiar with Mary Timony except as a name--and I also recognize her photo. I'll have to check out some of her projects while I seem to be in the mood for this-sort-of-thing.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 2 November 2017 17:20 (six years ago) link
Nothing she's ever done sounds much like this—maybe Melkbelly and Autoclave could overlap on a venn diagram on a good day—but she's neat. You may like her.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 2 November 2017 17:39 (six years ago) link
Listening to some Autoclave. Not too similar, but not bad. It would be an understatement to say I'm not a fan of most 90s rock, but as a result I also haven't heard a lot of it (where I might have listened to equivalently positioned bands in the 80s).

― Dinsdale, Thursday, 2 November 2017 20:09 (six years ago) link
That video still doesn't work for me. Maybe it's not available in North America (though it doesn't say anything that specific).
I've also seen comparisons between Miranda Winters' vocals and Girlpool's vocals. I don't hear it based on what little I've heard of Girlpool (which is pretty zzzzzzz to me). Winters has a raw, slightly husky sound that somehow seem very unaffected and not as smug as so man indie vocals. She's hitting a familiar (that word looks weird to my sudafedinated brain) sound but I can't think of other vocalists that sound that similar. They probably exist though! So much that could be related to this that I haven't heard.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 3 November 2017 01:59 (six years ago) link

New additions to the playlist and a change (Knox Fortune song switched because I think I like this one better, but the whole album is good probably one of my favorites of the year) :
James Holden & the Animal Spirits - Each Moment Like the FirstGrapetooth - TroubleKnox Fortune - Lil ThingThe Shacks - Fly FishingE Ruscha V - Who Are YouThe Proper Ornaments - Memories
James Holden, Grapetooth and Knox Fortune might be appealing to BOC fans. It sounds very much post-BOC and nothing like them but there's some elements: hip hop beats, vintage and eerie synths, summer feels, a certain childhood nostalgia to them. Holden in particularly is close to that sound but the other two sound like pop singles produced by BOC.

Justin Adams - Ribbons
It is partly a more abstract take on various world music, which sounds like a frightening description, but I think the music is good nevertheless. Some tracks have Anneli Drecker on them (not someone I am familiar with, although I guess I have been very vaguely aware of the existence of Bel Canto). "Crow Dream" is a standout track (ahem, ulysses).

first listen (cursory), this is some cut n'pasty, OPN-like bullshit. 2nd listen, this is nowhere near KOCH levels. Third listen, 'holy shit!' - it's **dope** "af".. ultra-lean and concise, need to hear it again.
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Sunday, 3 December 2017 01:09 (six years ago) link
It's a fantastic album, one of his best (up there with 'Diversions').
Jungle/dnb died 16, 17 years ago*. Metalheadz, Fabio, Grooverider, Optical & Rush, Doc Scott: I commend them for plowing on, but it's sad really. *Nothing* of note, nothing evolutionary, nothing forward thinking - let alone brash futuristic, a core element of the genre - has come out since 2000 or so.
The only to in some way do justice, and use the breaks and synths of jungle past, is what Gamble does so masterfully. He doesn't do 'nods', but echoes and mutates what was so great about it and incorporates it into a sound palette of now.
* Disclaimer: I was a teenage junglist.

I’m still unsure about many of these not my final list. Almost every artist in there has another song or two which I can gladly replace. I have my own stupid rule of only one song per artist though... I might end changing some of these in the following qeeks.

Didn't know there was a new Errorsmith album, thanks for the tip DL
― brimstead, Friday, 15 December 2017 17:40 (six years ago) link
I do too, actually. At least as far as the rollout goes (highest voted song by the artist is their de facto single appearance), but people would riot.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 15 December 2017 17:49 (six years ago) link
Especially since I'm guessing the # of nominated tracks and albums goes up every year with the hyperavailability offered by streaming services
― Simon H., Friday, 15 December 2017 17:51 (six years ago) link
I wrote in some other thread the same proposal. 77 songs, no repeating artists and maybe acknowledge the next two most voted songs from artists with more than one song in the real top 77. when the rollout is over post the 'real' top 77 with repeating artists. In 2014 we had like 5 Taylor Swift songs and in 2015 4 CRJ and 3 Grimes songs. This year I think will be a tad more surprising but we'll still get 3 or more Kendrick songs in there.
I see the problem about changing the rollout and I don't really see it happening but you can't deny it would be a bit more interesting. After all the real surprises are always in the lower numbers.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 15 December 2017 18:27 (six years ago) link
I propose that every year and get shouted down but imo we should take an actual vote or something
― Simon H., Friday, 15 December 2017 18:28 (six years ago) link

― ciderpress, Friday, 15 December 2017 19:53 (six years ago) link
Why wait a year? If it passes (which, tbh, I don't think it would), I can't imagine it would be all that difficult to adjust the rollout.
― Simon H., Friday, 15 December 2017 19:59 (six years ago) link
that works too, I just think wrapping it into the actual process is the only way to ensure that everyone who cares sees it in time
― ciderpress, Friday, 15 December 2017 20:01 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I think that's a good approach.
― Simon H., Friday, 15 December 2017 20:03 (six years ago) link
I am not in favor of the change fwiw, especially since it opens up a lot of grey areas wrt collabs and guest appearances
― ciderpress, Friday, 15 December 2017 20:05 (six years ago) link
OK, so no repeat appearances according to top billing. How many tracks have popular artists sharing equal billing?
― Simon H., Friday, 15 December 2017 20:07 (six years ago) link
Guys, this change ain't gonna happen. It's one of the flaws of a consensus poll. If a person votes for a song, that vote should count.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 15 December 2017 23:14 (six years ago) link
the vote would count, on the "pure points" 77.
― Simon H., Friday, 15 December 2017 23:15 (six years ago) link

I'd always assumed people would get mad if their third favorite Young Thug feature didn't show up in the 77, but if that's not the case, it's something everyone can decide on before the 2018 poll. Too late for this one.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 16 December 2017 03:55 (six years ago) link
Is it actually prohibitively difficult to add a two-option poll to the eventual tracks ballot (assuming there's sufficient interest beyond....*counts*...five posters)? Or is it just annoying? (That's not me being petty, it would be a completely fair reason, since I can extrapolate how much work running this poll would be from running a relatively piddly single-artist one.)
― Simon H., Saturday, 16 December 2017 04:10 (six years ago) link
The thing is the second, third, fourth song do appear as if in the real top 77 but they’re hidden until the top song appears in the rollout.
Example:
3. KENDRICK LAMAR - DNA (1827 points, 34 N1 votes)[13. HUMBLE (1762 points), 24. ELEMENT (1365 points) 45. FEAR (678 points)]
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 16 December 2017 05:51 (six years ago) link
The benefit of doing it in that way is that you get to discuss 77 different artists and songs and when an artist with several songs in the top 77 appears you get to discuss all those in the context of album. And now we’re not only discussing the top 77 songs were discussing at least 10 more.
I know there’s a rollout with everything else below in the end but once the rollout is over people stop paying attention...
Far shot and in the end it’s your call JF since you’re the real ceremony master in here, just a suggestion of what it could be.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 16 December 2017 05:56 (six years ago) link
Either way, you know I love your effort and the top 77 is always fun and one of my favorite EOY polls if only because of how varied the voters personal tastes are.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 16 December 2017 06:00 (six years ago) link
