Read a review that said there's too much going on in "Still Life." There's not too much going on in "Still Life!"

Little bit similar to Mr. Twin Sister (but I haven't listened closely to the whole album yet so that may be off overall).

Gaussian Curve - The Distance: think of the Blue Nile doing ambient instrumentals crossed with late 70s in his more blissed out balearic moments

Snapped Ankles’ Come Play the Trees? Other than a pretty enthusiastic review in The Quietus, I haven’t seen much buzz about them.

The speech parts of "Murmure" remind me of Robert Ashley
And Henri Chopin, right. Semi-aware of that when I listen but wasn't naming it to myself.

Gwyneth Glyn - Tro

Welsh-language folk with kora accompaniment by Seckou Keita on a few tracks. The tracks with the kora are sublime.

OH god yes, I was thinking of mentioning that one in particular. So beautiful.
Also, again I'd really like to encourage people to try the Chuck Johnson - Balsams record beyond merely mentioning it earlier. It's gorgeous.

I have seen very little on ILX or in the English-speaking press about the new Melanie De Biasio album -- it's v. good.

This doesn't seem like an album I should have to post about here, it seems like it would be huge, but I'm surprised I haven't seen more mention of the Moses Sumney record?
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 13 October 2017 19:07 (six years ago) link
I have a third release to propose here. The Weather Station's s/t fourth album. Tamara Lindeman seems like a heir of Joni Mitchell and Mary Margaret O'Hara. Some more excellent personal female songwriting from Canada. The album sounds like an instant classic.
I listened to three songs from the Melanie de Biasio record, it is a little on the dark side but definitely worth to check out more.

I second the Moses Sumney record. Not that it's generally overlooked (great reviews all around) but I'm just a little surprised it's not discussed here at all.
― ˈʌglɪɪst preɪ, Monday, 23 October 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link
i'm gonna go with NOT EVEN HAPPINESS by julie byrne. spectacular folk record full of melancholy observations on the livelihood of a transient traveling across america trying to find a sense of home. its meditative center feels especially comforting and refreshing in these times we're living in. might be my AOTY.

It feels like outside of a few records everything is overlooked now, especially on ILM. Records come out, get good reviews, BNM, whatever, and there is maybe a mention or two of them, unless there's some controversy attached, and a week later they've vanished from the planet.
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 13:22 (six years ago) link
love that Julie Byrne record

Keyes otm, but what to do about it?
― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 14:59 (six years ago) link
nothing to do really. I was just noticing that 3 or 4 of the records posted in this thread were P4K BNM recipients, which used to mean that a record was not overlooked. Maybe it still does, on Twitter or somewhere.
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 15:18 (six years ago) link
This might be getting props elsewhere but it's pretty overlooked on RYM and and not even mentioned on here: Benjamin Clementine - I Tell a Fly
I gave some stuff from his first album a listen and while it's OK it's total Jools Holland bait, but this record's quite an eclectic and oddball art-pop concept album, about... well you'll pick up the gist if you listen. tbh I'm mostly mentioning this album since I think my AOTY is fairly well-recieved, and it's not metal either which is what I mostly post about, I hope this could be something that the general ILM populace might find interesting.
― ultros ultros-ghali, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 16:51 (six years ago) link
I haaaated his first album but that has me intrigued!
My AOTY is the same as yours but it's gotten quite a few props. My suggestion in this thread is another one we both like but one that like its parent band ought to be a byword for critical apathy
― imago, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 17:09 (six years ago) link
Sadly yeah, I didn't even think of boosting them :/
If B. Clementine's voice bothered you I wouldn't bother with this one, the music's pretty neat though, almost like prog in disguise. I would love it if he reached to Scott Walker levels of inaccessibility in the future lol
― ultros ultros-ghali, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 17:21 (six years ago) link
Oh it was his piano that bothered me before, that and the lack of interesting songs. Sounds like he's addressed that. Voices never put me off! Except for múm, sheesh

― imago, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 17:29 (six years ago) link
It's ranked #104 for 2017 on RYM right now, which is pretty good. If you filter out the metal albums it's probably top 50.
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 19:56 (six years ago) link
I think the Liima record that's about to come out will figure large for me, it's basically an Efterklang side project, last year's record was great.

xp fair enough, I don't actually look at the charts much so I probably shouldn't comment on stuff like that, I just haven't noticed much discussion about that album
― ultros ultros-ghali, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 20:48 (six years ago) link
I'd never heard of Benjamin Clementine. Maybe he's not got as much buzz here in the States - or maybe I'm just out of it. I'm liking it though - lands somewhere in a quadrant between Julia Holter and Frank Ocean.

Consigning Julie Byrne, that record is beautiful.
Is the Klockworks thing a mix? I'm not sure about listening to 20 separate Berghain techno tracks one after the other, it's not really what they're for is it?
