rolling off to the forest 2012

ha awesome, i hung out with lantern dude when he lived here. def a great 7 inch but imo his stuff as "omon ra ii" and in "omon ra" is even better

i'll check out that visage musique comp, i like femminielli ok. i was really horrified & turned off of a lot of local stuff by that expressway comp from earlier this year they had a song on but it wasn't the worst by far

of the more talked about local stuff i've heard recently, TOPS (previously silly kissers) and sean nicolas savage come to mind. i'm not exceedingly hot on either, but i should at least give TOPS another chance, if anything i like the sound they're going for. there was a long interview with sean nicholas savage in the alt-weekly here a couple of months ago maybe that was pretty endearing & really hilarious, came off as, like, somehow so wonderfully pretentious & flamboyant. felt like not enough of that quality translated into the music, still felt guarded & shrimpy

i probably shouldn't mention this but my real favourite current local music project is one of my best friends' solo recording project, i just think this song is fantastic http://bakedgoods.bandcamp.com/track/crescent-moon

sean nicolas savage is another thing ive heard a bunch about. will listen to some of that other stuff when i have some more time

anyway the boneglow/delusions split on kassette klub is s0 fukken good. i was expecting some clanging echochamber drone but its these infectiously lo-fi and summery bedroom jamz plax if yr reading this i think youd really vibe it

a bunch of really incredible new stuff on some old faves: nna tapes including the keith fullerton whitman/eli keszler split and 'the moon regarded...' tape by william hutson. the latter in particular is really highly recommended, excellent use of silence and space, super worth thinking about. the 'head boggle' lp on spectrum spools is also really tight. de stijl also has c spencer yeh's 'songs 2002' cassette which is p rewarding. theres also the nite jewel fact mix and the bookworms 12"

sorry this is just a list of things i really like, i dont want to forget them, time & space are infinite

Haven't heard Head Boggle yet but v much looking foward to the new Motion Sickness of Time Travel, which is also gonna come out on Spectrum Spools next month.

!!!! didnt no that...

half want 2 brag and half want 2 weep seein so many ppl i tangentially know who are getting releases on spectrum spools... need 2 up my game

the new MSOTT is so god damned great. four 20+ minute side-length tracks; all four are great but the last song is on a whole other plane of existence. all I could find was a 5-minute sample on Soundcloud to share though:

I'm also really liking Paco Sala's Ro-Me-Ro:

also Ben Frost & Daniel Bjarnason's Solaris collaboration is proving surprisingly reliable (or is this better suited to the Boomkat classical thread?)

Yeah, I heard good things about Paco Sala, thanks for the reminder.

MSOTT now up on spotify, goddamn this is lovely

yeah im def digging it. so much good music out lately just in time for the weather to turn and we to start playing out again

I haven't heard anything bad from MSOTT yet but this record is just a quantum leap forward in every regard. I will probably never shut up about how gorgeous One Perfect Moment is.

best release of summer 2012! http://kinntarecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-lemon-tape

ah cool a friend of mine has a release coming out nowish, too. i finally checked out the label after all the talk about it itt and actually dig some of the releases a lot. i had kind of avoided it because i'm not really into ambient drone or lush sssssphlshhhhssynthscapes & thought it was all, like, that kind of stuff. but i'm actually digging the human teenager - animal husbandry lp, and the no ufos lp in the OP. looking forward to the gary war lp, ht is great & i picked up a copy of what i think is his first release (?) new ratheonport at a show of his in halifax last weekend been jammin both nonstop

i loved that bee mask youtube you posted to the sandbox but everything else i've heard is b0ring to me

co la - dream repeater

?

bought it solely off the album art & a memory of u repping nna tapes

http://browntowndotcom.com/nna/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/NNA038.jpg

kind of reminds me of that starslinger ep you repped for last year

honestly im kinda blanking on it i know ive heard it a few times and may even own a copy but no real opinions.

im sorta burnt out on music atm i have band practice tonite and am just draggin my feet about going and like all i listen to right now are joni mitchell records and 'after the gold rush'

damn homie

^ looking forward to this holly herndon album on rvng intl

so the no kings label has been p on point all year ime but a the leslie keffer tape seems partic good - for some reason that fact that it is called 'finally, caves!' lends it some extra charm

New Bee Mask album is nice and foresty:

V.keen on that Leslie Keffer (+ I had no idea Unicorn Hard-On was still around / had gone noise-techno-y after their mid-00s Providence stuff).

This might be kinda relevant to Lamp, NZ vaporwave/post-internet stuff:
