Agalloch - Faustian Echoes 2012

really hope this isn't what sunk BEWC this time.

the end makes me feel like the end of VC - winterglow, which is to say: stupid when faced with simple play lyrics in an accent.

Agalloch - Whitedivisiongrey 2012

it's a best-of non-album agalloch songs? plus a bunch more non-agalloch-album-sounding songs?

if for some reason you didnt have the lodge dismantled already...well...

plus you get to enjoy odal nothing. which is like a deck from sleep research facility - nostromo at colossal fucking hyper volume. it's insanely exhausting for a drone remix, if only for the segmentation of components. acclimation to one strata just weakens your ability to prepare for the next.

Dillon - This Silence Kills 2011

the exact midpoint between agnes obel and oh land. some really, really glorious noise and electro hints, lots of repeated lines (over and over and over) and it sounds like something i cannot fucking remember right now. not korouva, not lykke li, ...it's her inflection. ...not quite feist...

what the fuck am i thinking of?!

something. but the closest thing is oh land. like, way super close.

also contains the chorus 'the robots are gonna help us find the crystal', which i want to understand but am assuming is just a fun, european masturbation euphemism.

Korouva - Unbearable Romance 2011

because i mentioned it and cant stop thinking about it.

the best-titled album there is.

Korouva - Sleepwalker 2009

this one seems a little...dazed? sleepier (hopefully, if the title's a clue)? it sounds like movie music, if the movie was your adult life in second person. more instruments and more vocals and more varied directions than shipwrecks, with a cleaner production.



another description:

"It sounds like the middle of the night in a sparsely populated bar, or the last hour of full nighttime before an overcast dawn."



the second part hit the 'calm parts of Brick' scenes the songs conjured for me, especially near the end of the movie.

Pygmy Lush - Old Friends (2011)

Members of pg.99 and City of Caterpillar went on to form a strange hybrid of folk and old school skramz. This album and Mount Hope (2008) did away with all the skramz bits (well, mostly) and went to straight hushed folk tunes. Fuck new Fleet Foxes, this is where the hype should be.

listen.

The Mountain Goats - All Eternals Deck (2011)

It's the Mountain Goats.

Holy Sons - I Want to Live a Peaceful Life (2003)

It's been quite a while since I posted! This is Holy Sons. This is very quiet, singer/songwriter folk music from the drummer of Grails, and more recently, Om.

Seriously, you need this.

listen.

Natural Snow Buildings - Waves Of The Random Sea 2011

HOLY FUCKING SHIT this is phenomenal. psychy, multi instrument ambidrone with some real progressions. like a quieter jackie o mixed with a positive last days and a really slow grouper. and aidan baker without a distortion pedal. and the albums velvet cacoon stole but slower and happier. and master musicians if they werent so fucking high. and this is so fucking blissed-out i want to excrete summer sunsets from every pore.

dont like ambidrone? fuck you.
