Seiho - Collapse
Enjoying this for now. Mostly ambient, often disjunctive, electronic music with jazzy bits. At times not far from Cornelius. I don't listen to too much music like this, so I don't think I have the right category slots or "sounds like artist x" to describe it.

Not so surprisingly the previous list is part of the radio show I'm running. Just uploaded this 'mid-year roundup' show on mixcloud (meaning I can take a summer break): https://www.mixcloud.com/Sterrenplaten/sterrenplaten-24-juni-2016-mid-year-roundup-2016
Thanks to Fat Cat's modern classical offshoot '130701' we had the chance to play a song from Ian William Craig's great 'Centres' and even an unreleased 2005 song of Set Fire To Flames, from the upcoming Eleven Into Fifteen compilation.
Also, show is in Dutch.

New Connections album is yet another great fake GBV (circa 90s) album. Better than anything Pollard can come up with these days.

I've missed that Grubbs had a new one out. What's it like?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 23 July 2016 21:28 (seven years ago) link
five tracks, only one brief track with vocals.. the rest is sort of like Grubbs' circular/spidery/repeating riffing/arpeggios, with loose and nimble drumming (free jazz-like, breezy, secondary to the more pronounced guitar patterns) -- basically Grubbs' guitar and drums (Eli Keszler) with subtle (synthesizer, added afterwards) flourishes/augmentation. Drag City doesn't charge for shipping within the US (for CD), not bad.

Whyyyy do you guys like 1975!? Everytime I try to like them they just sound like an INXS tribute band and I don't even like INXS that much. What am I missing!?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 7 August 2016 08:52 (seven years ago) link
I think if they were actually more like INXS, I'd find a reason to like them. But because they mostly sound like Duran Duran, I cannot.

Album:
iLe - iLevitable
This is PG13 (Ileana Cabra) from Calle 13, the younger sister. She's been singing on their albums since the beginning. I'd be curious to hear other people's impressions but I don't think I have anything to say to entice people to listen. Wish I knew Spanish. Will be saying that on my deathbed.
― _Rudipherous_, Sunday, 7 August 2016 18:03 (seven years ago) link
Definitely not reggaeton.
― _Rudipherous_, Sunday, 7 August 2016 18:05 (seven years ago) link
Xpost: wait rudi you don't speak spanish!? I assumed you did because you're a big fan of latin music!
ILE sounds really good! Closest popular comparison I can think of is Natalia Lafourcade. there's some really nice instrumentation in some of those songs.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 7 August 2016 18:18 (seven years ago) link
I don't. So pathetic. All these years of listening to so much music in Spanish (mostly salsa though) and so little has sunk in.
― _Rudipherous_, Sunday, 7 August 2016 18:31 (seven years ago) link
there's some really nice instrumentation in some of those songs.
I feel that the instrumentation tends to fall short most of the time. It's polished, but somehow lacking. I still like the album but I'm a but ambivalent about it. I think her vocals and songwriting are the strongest parts.
― _Rudipherous_, Sunday, 7 August 2016 18:55 (seven years ago) link
Vocals are somewhat unique from what is normally used in the genre. They're the definite highlight of course, just pointing out some of the instrumentation sounded good on first listen hahaha but yes there's nothing particularly outstanding in that matter.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 8 August 2016 17:22 (seven years ago) link
I hope you at least have learned how to dance salsa! I like the genre but it has never made sense to me as home listening. You need to listen to it while moving.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 8 August 2016 17:24 (seven years ago) link
Oh yeah, learning to salsa is what got me started listening to salsa. I am not dancing these days due to chronic health problems which I'm still trying to resolve. I think it's fine as home listening, especially classic salsa, though I mostly listen in the car these days. Good driving music.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 8 August 2016 22:23 (seven years ago) link
For me, the absolute cream of this year's albums so far is something like
all-time brilliance
Jute Gyte - Perdurance

Lemon Demon - Spirit Phone Mitski - Puberty 2Autechre - Elseq 1-5King - We Are King Oranssi Pazuzu - VärähtelijäKa - Honor Killed The SamuraiComet Control - Center Of The Maze The Display Team - Drones The Drones - Display Team Feelin' Kinda Free
very, very good
Teen - Love YesSuede - Night Thoughts Laura Mvula - The Dreaming Room Skepta - KonnichiwaEsperanza Spalding - Emily's D+EvolutionWorking For A Nuclear Free City - What Do People Do All Day?Saqqara Mastabas - Libras Xenia Rubinos - Black Stars Teleman - Brilliant Sanity Kel Valhaal - New Introductory Lectures On Transcendental Qabala
more or less in that order, but there's loads bubbling under, probably some I've forgotten, and plenty coming to blast the above asunder
