That testpressing lists are awesome.
Did Dusted magazine stopped making EOY lists? Theirs were excellent.

Does Dusted still exist? Their website hasn't updated in several years.

They're on holiday break until January 2nd, hopefully we'll get their lists when they come back.

xpost to niels the balearic revival seems to be the best place now? I think we had a new age (knew-age) thread but it doesn't quite feel right
one of the members of CS + Kreme was in Standish/Carlyon who released an album a few years back that I remember me and Johnny Fever both really enjoying
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 30 December 2017 14:57 (six years ago) link
thanks! must be the Deleted Scenes album? listening now, sounds great
I've been meaning to bookmark that balearic thread...
― niels, Saturday, 30 December 2017 16:16 (six years ago) link
Yeah that’s a great song niels ... boxedjoy is right closedt thread would probably be the balearic one. There was a rolling chillwave one which could fit maybe but can’t recall if we had one in 2017.. closest sounding thing top of my mind from this year which I can recommend is the Tornado Wallace album.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 30 December 2017 16:54 (six years ago) link
Tornado Wallace sounding good too, thx for the recommendation
think I tried following forks' vaporwave playlist on spotify, but I only liked the more chill tunes

The Finest Kiss 40 Singles & EPs of the year. Several aren't available on Spotify, and there's also an annoying trend with labels such as Market Square and Too Pure to not even sell digital versions, only vinyl. UGH!!

Finest Kiss is a guy named Toby who lives in Portland. I don't think he posts here but we could invite him. He does an amazing job of finding singles along the lines of dream/jangle pop and some punk. He should have an album list coming too.
I did manage to buy the Market Square singles on Amazon. I prefer to pay for lossless FLAC over MP3 usually. But man, the Seize The Chair Too Pure single is not to be found anywhere.
The slow roll for StonerHive is complete, this time an aggregate of 91 lists:

I wish you/RS wouldn't lump jazz together with the noise and the other stuff on that list, but I get why you do it. In any case, I need to check out that Sult/Marhaug album.

Man, wish I'd heard of Finest Kiss before. Based on the 30% or so of what I recognize from his lists and his descriptions of what I don't recognize, I'm really looking forward to going through them. Loving everything I've clicked on so far.
― early rejecter, Thursday, 4 January 2018 15:02 (six years ago) link
I did talk up The Finest Kiss back on December 9!

Yes, but at that point I was too busy marveling over Raven Sings the Blues to check out anything else!

Good album, not wholly won over by her voice. But then again, Scott Walker elicits similar feelings from me.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 6 January 2018 22:50 (six years ago) link
Does the comparison stop at 'difficult vocals', or is Circuit de Yeux musically akin to late Walker too?

There's a bit of overlap beyond the vocals, though CDY is less prone to atonalism. Their feeling for the theatrical strikes me as rather similar.
