enjoyable but unspectacular indie, silver is really nice

I like the recent Bjork stuff I've heard but never explore it fully, not sure if that's just because I'm lazy and don't listen as widely as I used to or if there's something in it that doesn't completely gel with me.

I dutifully give every Waxahatchee album a listen but her arrangement and production choices are so fucking boring and drag even the good songs down.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 January 2018 18:03 (six years ago) link
I put Utopia high on my ballot. Adam Bruneau's and Ross's posts on the dedicated thread (Bjork - 2017 album) explain its appeal to me very well. And I still maintain "saint" near the end is a hidden pop gem.

Cool rollout so far: usually the boring stuff shows up around day three.

otm. feel like it's telling that my fav waxahatchee album (the debut) has basically no arrangement or production choices

I heard this one was supposed to be much fuller sounding, though.
― Evan, Monday, 29 January 2018 18:10 (six years ago) link
It is fuller sounding but also stodgier.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 January 2018 18:14 (six years ago) link
What I've heard so far:
Elder - good stuff. Thought I had voted for it but I guess not.
The National - I like their albums up to High Violet included. I found what they release after that one to be super boring and this one is no exception.
The Weather Station - Gave up after a few tracks that left no impression whatsoever.
Will try to sample everything else later tonight.

I had Utopia in my top ten, it's a gorgeous record and a nice next step after Vulnicura. To be honest though I think Volta is the only time I've felt let down by a Björk album.

Here's one I've actually heard, my number 2 and in a roughly similar position to the artist's placer in the tracks poll
― i know kore-eda (or something), Monday, 29 January 2018 18:29 (six years ago) link
It's really different, but I like it for the same reasons I like old Ulrich Schnauss. It's large scale and cozy at the same time.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 29 January 2018 18:32 (six years ago) link
didn't listen to this until the results came in and its a very cool record, i like it

yeah, I also didn't listen to this until it placed in the tracks poll. Enjoyed it quite a bit.
Other than this, L'Rain (which I voted for) and the Italian Dreamhouse compilation (listening to this right now, incredible) I've been a bit disappointed by the results so far.

there def should be more saxophone metal in general

I like the Ex Eye and Elder records. Both narrowly missed my final ballot but such is life.

the opening track has some faint RFTC vibes imo

Lol sund4r did tell you guys about Ex Eye! re: Odysseus & Michael B
Elder narrowly missed my ballot, orob should've made it (as should've L'Rain). Ex Eye was my #11.

oh and if you need any more persuasion to hear it, Ex Eye's drummer is Greg Fox, a man operating at barely-precedented levels

waaaay too low. but then I could have put it higher than 20th on my ballot I guess. bangers all the way down. even the EODM songs

long, distracted, kinda poorly-paced but still, y'know, consistent and great record that didn't quite make my ballot. one of the eodm songs is my current favorite kesha song (let 'em talk)
