I'm a fan. Poor Moon is his best album imo, a bit less smoothed-out than his more recent releases.

Does he have anything as dry as Bad Debt? I love that one to death but everything else I've heard from him has left me unimpressed (heard From Country Hai East Cotton, Haw and the latest one).

Lord I Love The Rain is my favorite by HGM.
Originally released as a digital-only EP, Hiss Golden Messenger’s "Lord I Love the Rain" has been reconstituted as a fully realized long playing album that juxtaposes grainy kitchen table gospel and dusted imaginary sci-fi soundtrack pieces alongside dead-of-night renditions of Michael Hurley’s “The Revenant” and Ronnie Lane’s “Tell Everyone.” "Lord I Love the Rain" is the sound of Hiss Golden Messenger after hours.
His proper LPs have been getting increasingly slicker, much to their detriment.

(in case Raymond's question was directed at me: no)

Oh, ok. Just curious.

No problem. There is something very Nathan-esque indeed about the phrase "Alright, I'm sold".

An album I've been listening to the past few weeks nonstop comes from one of the worst named-bands ever - Mike Adams at His Honest Weight. The album, Best of Boiler Room Classics is pretty fantastic from start to finish. It's a bit of power pop with some psychedelic elements thrown in.
This will be one of my top ten ILM albums of 2014.

Eaux - Plastics
I'm kind of surprised there isn't more talk about this, actually! It's pretty good, and the vocals remind me of an earthier (or more earthbound) Liz Fraser.

I thought the Heliocentrics/Melvin Van Peebles collab, The Last Transmission, would have gotten a lot more traction than it has.

yeah that and their collaboration with orlando julius were definite highlights of the year for me.
that said, i do listen to the instrumental version of 'the last transmission' more than the proper album.

Fans of this should check out Eaux's previous incarnation as the Sian Alice Group.

Listening to the Panabrite album. Really nice new age-y, synth-heavy ambient thingy stuff.
