bohren & the club of gore - piano nights and black earth which i am listening to now. i am seriously falling in love with this slow, instrumental, intense atmosperic music. perfect for relaxing in the late evening. very addictive. it totally absorbs me, the music is like a gown, it wraps itself around me.

Sun Kil Moon - Benji
wow
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Friday, 14 February 2014 05:05 (ten years ago) link
that album seems pretty amazing but i got to the song about how he's not going to be able to live when his mom dies and i just really couldn't go on, gonna have to wait until summer to try again
― sXe & the banshees (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 14 February 2014 17:55 (ten years ago) link
yeah that one is a little weird inasmuch as he seems oddly close to his mom for a middle-aged man. But it's still a pretty sweet song. And the song about his dad is awesome.
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Friday, 14 February 2014 18:07 (ten years ago) link
no it's a great song it's just his lyrics on this are so kind of matter of fact and raw that it made me think of my mom dying and i got all sad
― sXe & the banshees (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 14 February 2014 18:13 (ten years ago) link
Yeah those songs are definitely honest and sweet. He said in an interview his mother thought the song about her was the best gift she'd ever received.

My Aunt is in hospice at the moment and the matter of fact nature of life and death on the new Sun Kil Moon album really resonates.
― Evan, Friday, 14 February 2014 18:36 (ten years ago) link
oh yeah I know what you mean. I tried to listen to a couple songs from it at work today and when I got to the line in Song Remains the Same about the friend dying in the moped accident and the girl who sat in front of him who died and was forgotten I just had to shut it off so I didn't break down in my office. My grandma is also about to go into hospice.
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Friday, 14 February 2014 19:16 (ten years ago) link
It's crazy that he has (at least) three relatives who died in fires.

This Cheatahs album is derivative of classic shoegaze, but it's top-tier. Pretty much agree with the Guardian review, but would give an additional star.

Heard Teenage Filmstars for the first time the other day due to a kind soul dropping their name on a thread somewhere. Everything I have heard by them on youtube is BLOWING MY MIND. 90s shoegaze done right, and going over the top with experimentalism (recording albums backwards!). Can't believe I've never heard them until now.

Aunt just died this morning. She's had someone else's liver after having failure years ago. She was lucky to have made it through that, but it meant that she was too fragile to fight lymphoma. Sun Kil Moon record(s) are still helpful.
