This Maya Jane Cole EP, Won't Let You Down, is pretty nice.

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 12:46 (seven years ago) link
My faves up to now:
Aimee Mann - Mental Illness (return to form)Girl Ray - Trouble (those harmonies, song of the year up till now)Hauschka - What If (exciting piano music in between classic, jazz and ambient)Joan Shelley - s/t (calm, understated, glowing)Juana Molina - Halo (twisted is the word that comes to mind to describe this music)The New Year - Snow (perfect chillout album)Pumarosa - The Witch (London indie rock that kicks ass)Tinariwen - Elwan (nicely meandering Sahara blues)
― Ich bin kein Berliner (alex in mainhattan), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 13:31 (seven years ago) link
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.

Really love this Ross From Friends EP, especially Talk to Me You'll Understand.
Thank you rolling techno/house bobbins. It seems like I'm mostly finding things on the rolling threads and then plopping them here when I think they deserve the added attention.

I can't decide if "Ross from Friends" is one of the mostobnoxious or one of the best names I've seen this year.
― dance cum rituals (Moka), Monday, 3 July 2017 05:33 (six years ago) link
Ross from Friends is the kind of band name that makes me want to punch a kestrel. See also Scott and Charlene's Wedding.
― The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums (Chinaski), Monday, 3 July 2017 14:36 (six years ago) link
I sampled his/their latest EP just to see if it sounded like the character's hilarible sound effects collages from the series, and it only sorta did a little bit.

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.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 13 August 2017 13:39 (six years ago) link
Understandable! I listened to it due to circumstances (it was the only thing I had for a few days) and I went from liking its vibe to (most of) the individual songs.
