Roaches is really good, especially "Trident 2"

Black Metal 2 out today. Similar to the mellow alt-rock vibes of the first one but with higher production values and only 23 minutes long. Lots of angelic Joanne Robertson vocals. If any of these tracks are sample-based I don't recognize them. "the rot" is utterly gorgeous

great album. and a sorta Ramones cover -- neat indeed.

I have ignored Dean Blunt all the way until now, but I like this new one. I guess I should listen to some of his earlier stuff? His catalog is daunting. Maybe I'll just pretend he's new.

I'd recommend Hype Williams' One Nation in terms of his early stuff w/ Inga...

absolutely loved black metal 2. it did feel more like a return to inga copeland collabs than a sequel to the first black metal–all the noise is gone. the songs are great tho, and i wish it was longer

Definitely hunt more Dean Blunt!

I’d recommend Redeemer, Black Metal and Black is Beautiful for starters. Also the BBF album under Babyfather alias is divisive but I love it. I recommend reading the tinymixtapes review for it too, it helps understand what’s going on: https://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/babyfather-bbf-hosted-dj-escrow

The Redeemer and its companion mini-album Stone Island are probably my favorite Dean, and there's lots of good stuff on the Roaches 2012-2019 comp. He's been consistently fascinating and mysterious for over a decade

Stone island is the one dean blunt album I go back to, everything else is pretty hit or miss for me

the redeemer for me <3

I like a bunch of his stuff but the only one i own is Wahalla, which is the album he did with Joanne Robertson. 'Fuckboy Anthem' off that is great
