Avey Tare- Down There (2010)

nothing too groundbreaking here - it sounds more or less like a mellower,blurrier,more electronic version of Feels.
nothing as strong as Banshee Beat etc.. but still a pleasent enough record.

Heads Hammock and Lucky 1 are great. Still haven't listened the rest but looks pretty good. I don't know. I'm not an AC fan neither a hater but these two tracks really caught my attention

the fake leak is better

Yes, I was going to say that. Is the fake leak 60 Watt Kid?

the last song, "lucky 1," is the only one that caught my attention

i've only heard "lucky 1" and the synths are cool (esp the stereo panning), but if this is the best thing on the album then ugh.

but with distortions and zzzzzz.....

trippy

This one joins the Liars album from earlier this year in the "cheap, minimal" packaging camp. Look, I understand that "no one" is buying physical albums these days, but skimping on the packaging to the absolute bare minimum certainly isn't going to help reverse that trend.

Liars album also had a deluxe version iirc

Yeah, it did, but that doesn't mean the "regular" version should be just a disc in a cardboard sleeve with absolutely no liner notes or anything.

Anyway, this album. Sounds pretty decent on first listen, but I'm not sure how long it will stick.

First listen... Very nice so far!

New solo song from Avey coming soon, looks like he's part of the Our First 100 Days/Songs Against Trump project https://twitter.com/aveytare/status/819954538459369472
