damn, GAM got another album already?
Early February, yeah -- very good (if not Umsindo level).

The Quadron album is my favorite of the year thus far (without doubt my year-end number one).

Kings Ballad is so much more listenable and interesting to me than Umsindo, which often prized weirdness over actual quality. Here the balance is a lot better.

Reminds me of when we had to take our daughter to Chuck E Cheese and she slept through an entire birthday party while in her stroller, five feet in front of the animatronic loudness.

Dunno if the J*Davey fans on the thread knew, but they released a freebie ep on xmas day last year: http://jdavey.bandcamp.com/
I'm still waiting for "Dollar or More" to show up in full anywhere. They've been sitting on that song for at least two years, and if it doesn't show up on the next full length, I'm gonna blow a gasket.

Yeah, I've been meaning to give that ep a second spin for a while

I'm way into that Yahzarah track posted upthread a bit.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 April 2010 15:44 (3 years ago) Permalink
i originally thought it had nothing to do with the production since the vocal is so outstanding, but it's not like i ever would've been smart enough to know that pop-punk drums way loud in the mix would ever work in a song like this. any releases i should check out?

xp: If you haven't, check out the Foreign Exchange's Leave It All Behind (which features Yahzarah, among others, on vocals) and Nicolay's City Lights 2: Shibuya, both of which are produced by Nicolay and of excellent quality, albeit much more subdued than this. I haven't heard Yahzarah's previous albums, though. I may have to now.
I'm also happy to find out today that there's a new FE album in October. I am becoming such a total stan for them. XD

xp- word, one of my favourite songs of the year so far. i bumped the cult of dilla thread a while ago asking for recs of similar sounding stuff and got told to just read the psychedelic rn'b thread. good things happen when this thread is regularly updated.

lead by ryan olson, GAYNGS members include POS, Dessa, Michael Lewis, and members of Bon Iver, Megafaun and Solid Gold.
I've heard 4/20 and 5/11 as release dates for the new album, "relayted"
this sounds like it's going to be some late night, or driving in the car, or late night driving in the car kind of dope shit

That Quadron disc is pretty killer, like a spacey, more R&B version of Roisin Murphy. Love love "Buster Keaton."
