Confusing! One of them is on Spotify, but I don't know which it is.

I think they're supposed to be the first two parts of a trilogy
― Dan S, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
I voted for both Fushitsushas (a tie). Kinda thought others would do the same - I mean, how do you choose between Fushitsusha albums (unless one of them is Origin's Hesitation or the one Zorn produced, of course)?

I see that one of the wire voters picked the second of the two as his album of the year, so maybe that's why it did better

that killer mike lp was cringe enough at the time let alone still picking it after however many months hindsight― r|t|c, Wednesday, December 5, 2012 10:29 AM (51 minutes ago)

This is literally someone who The Wire put on their Top 50. This video is maybe the best thing since Salem at Fader Fort.

you might laugh at the idea of casio + loop pedal jams, but he's not doing it particularly badly. so many macbook + ableton + apc dudes do so much less at their shows.

i just now realized that you weren't saying "this is literally someone who put 'the wire' in their top 50" -- i couldn't understand what you were talking about. the internet is poisoning my brain.

it's very "department talent show at Google"
would rather watch/listen to this than Salem tho

NPR/Uncut catnip though it may be, I love the Father John Misty record. Who's with me? *silence across ILX*
Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but I really like it too. Nowhere near as mopey as I expected, in fact quite joful and even funny at times. I was really surprised by it.

that's what her friends call her
Yeah that Julia Holter album is great, I love how each track seems to end up in a totally different place from where it began without seeming meandering.
I've come round to the Frankie Rose album as well since the nights have been drawing in. Not sure I've seen that one anywhere.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 20:22 (eleven years ago) link
Thought the Frankie Rose was insubstantial; only "Pair of Wings", corny as it is, held up to repeated play for me.
Julia Holter album is fantastic, of course.
― a Christmas .gif for you from (seandalai), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 20:27 (eleven years ago) link
i feel like there's loads of this sort of ethereal pop about but the level of detail in this really separates it, and the different tones, very easy to become dirgey with this kind of sound but as you say, it's pretty bold in terms of how it jumps from one mood to another. can tell it'll be one i listen to for a few weeks.
― Heterocyclic ring ring (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 20:27 (eleven years ago) link
Sad to see the Marissa Nadler and Georgia Anne Muldrow albums pass under everyone's radar; both albums are career highlights for me.

Love this as well, but after half a dozen listens those transitions start to feel forced, as if too over-conscious of the genre she's playing in. Sometimes I think the songs could've subsisted - and have been great - w/ just a small amount of consistency. "Marienbad" manages to avoid this, but I thought it was especially noticeable on songs like "In The Same Room" where songs would transmutate not out of necessity but a seeming desire to keep things from ever being overtly pop
― kelpolaris, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
still putting the record in my year-end top 5 tho, it's incredible
I thought goddess eyes I and II were so dominant that they made the rest of the album seem a little less alive. still a nice album, though...
