Deafheaven are still going? Welp.

the best deafheaven album, can't talk about this record objectively bc it aligned with a period of late summer depression
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 15:59 (two years ago) link
There are some great lyrics on The Marfa Tapes, too. Not what you might expect from an album fronted by a superstar.
e.g. "Anchor": When the moonlight hits the water/ The reflection hits your eyes/ I can't take it any longer/ And this rope is pulling tight/ Be my anchor, pull me under/ In this river here tonight/ 'Cause I can't breathe when I'm with you/ When I'm with you, I can fly

I voted for Deafheaven but didn't think it would make it. This is the first record of theirs I've been into.

never thought the best thing about tyler was his rappin-ass rapping, so i enjoyed this one without going gaga over it
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 16:23 (two years ago) link
Flower Boy remains my favourite of his by some stretch, but this had its moments (JUGGERNAUT).
God why is the Deafheaven so good? The songs build and break so satisfyingly, which is the opposite of my experience with them before.

they weirdly got so much more dynamic when they deemphasized the metal

fwiw, emil.y and others, it was user uptown churl who brought the Ran Cap to the weird/unclassifiable thread— I just nominated it.
― we need outrage! we need dicks!! (the table is the table), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 16:49 (two years ago) link
Deafheaven was my #1. Came out at the right time and hit me like a wave. Finally went all in on their shoegaze/post-rock side and they nailed it imo. Also lots of beautiful personal memories associated with this one.
― gman59, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 16:52 (two years ago) link
Great to see the Rochelle, glorious fun throughout. Was my #5 and I now think I underrated it; have totally hammered it since I voted
― technopolis, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 16:54 (two years ago) link
Deafheaven album was a joy, and made me reevaluate the band. I even like Sunbather now.
― jmm, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 16:55 (two years ago) link
I had liked Sunbather and Ordinary Corrupt Human Love a lot and didn't quite click with this, though I thought "Great Mass of Colour" was a really good single. I should probably go back to it.

Ooops, my apologies to uptown churl! Bad memory at play. I had a few of my votes come from that thread and in my mind it was mostly you who had put them there.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 16:59 (two years ago) link
It's pretty funny there's a Heaux Tales deluxe being released. Was she holding stuff back? Don't care if it was an EP fwiw. People call their 20 or 25 minute projects albums nowadays. If I were that in love with the material I'd vote it up whatever it is called by the artist. Only felt a couple of strong tracks though and voted for one of those.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 17:00 (two years ago) link
emil.y, I definitely put a fair amount in the thread, that and Re-Reconstructed etc and Ambient Recommendations were my main lurking points last year.

Oh nice, I didn't vote for Lingua Ignota in this poll, only in tracks, but she is worthy.
― The sensual shock (Sund4r), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 17:04 (two years ago) link
really enjoyed the lingua inota album, much more than the previous (i think i might be in the minority with that view)
― nxd, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 17:04 (two years ago) link
Femenine! Didn't think this would make it either. Joyous. One of two Femenines released in 2021 (I think) but this is the more dynamic

<3 to Moka for an awesome job but maybe pls post subsequent ties separately? we don't want any OH GOD NOT THIS collateral damage lol

not that I feel remotely that way about either of these!!

Lingua Ignota was my number one. I think I only listened to it three times this year, but it's an intense experience.
― silverfish, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 17:08 (two years ago) link
I really did like the LI but didn't vote for it. Caligula still her greatest imo
― imago, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 17:09 (two years ago) link
"Anchor" was one of my favorite songs of the year... I was a little surprised it didn't get any attn in the tracks poll (do folks here not like... songs)?
Not sure why you wouldn't expect great lyrics from a Miranda Lambert–fronted album, tho ;)

― bad milk blood robot (sleeve), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 17:17 (two years ago) link
I've been too scared of the lack of noise to do the whole Lingua Ignota album yet, but I nommed and voted for 'Pennsylvania Furnace'.

Finally HTRK crack the ilx poll! This one seems to have more critical weight behind it than their last few. I love them most when they're at their smallest and vaguest, these are lovely tiny songs.
― technopolis, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 17:35 (two years ago) link
Never listened to HTRK before, but I did a double take on the first track to make sure I hadn't accidentally clicked play on a Nouvelle Vague album.
