dig that 1978ers album.

Ned gave me this link to GABI last week and said I'd probably like it. He was right. This song is very, very reminiscent of This Mortal Coil for me in its arrangement/impact and Gabrielle Herbst's gorgeous voice.

A new gabi song! Is there an album coming out??

http://www.stereogum.com/1730787/gabi-sympathy/mp3s/

According to Stereogum, expect an album in April.

I look forward to it - thanks djp!

Ned also linked this K-X-P track to me earlier today and I have played it three times in a row because it sounds like Stereo MCs covering KMFDM with hints of "Breathless"-era SPK hinting around the edges:

It occurs to me that I didn't put Dawn Richard in here. That is a grave mistake.

hi, is this a thread where I can share dark, dubby, vaguely gothy techno of the non-bobbins variety?

I do not understand why I like Death Cab For Cutie so much, but I do. Not enough to actually get any of their albums mind you, but I get obsessed with their assorted singles.

http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2015/02/02/marsheaux-covers-depeche-mode-a-broken-frame/

This is INCREDIBLE and, two songs in, I adore this in a way I have never loved the original album; in fact, this is an album where I have always liked covers of the songs from it more than the original songs.

http://open.spotify.com/album/1cA32w2EmWRsMdi1mgVeAN

Ned mentioned that he interviewed 2:54 so I thought I'd look them up. According to Spotify, this is a 2014 release and according to my ears, the first song "Orion" is fantastic.

Second song "Blindfold" is also fantastic, btw

OKAY WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT LIZZO LAST YEAR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQaRQe86suA

FURIOUS WITH ALL OF YOU

I MEAN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L28RmCK3bL4

WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS, THIS SHIT IS INCREDIBLE

covered somewhat on the hip hop thread (where it was mostly shot down, unsurprisingly); matt and i are fans but there's a limited amount of exciting tracks after batches and cookies

XP I KNOW I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL PPL ABT LIZZO

I actually just downloaded this last night and put it on my phone this morning. I am so, so stoked to see her open for SK this month.

the Letterman performance was where I went from "oh this is p good" to "oh damn this woman is so fun and charismatic, can I be her best friend plz"

covered somewhat on the hip hop thread (where it was mostly shot down, unsurprisingly); matt and i are fans but there's a limited amount of exciting tracks after batches and cookies

The album is pretty great IMO. I didn't even hate the "Rapture" cover even though it's wholly unnecessary.

ok here's where i tried to tell Lex about Lizzo:

rolling irrelevant rap bro internet thread 2014

didn't know she did Letterman, that's great.

Yeah whoops, I should have been talking more about Lizzo but I don't really post about music anymore on Ilx other than yelling at people, sorry

As a counterpoint to forks' playlist and considering that so far a bunch of stuff from last year has been knocking me on my ass, I've started a complimentary playlist expressly for the 2014 releases I'm catching up on now:

http://open.spotify.com/user/djperry1973/playlist/19BgQokdwUGufDqCM5W93h

Holy shit please more yelling about Lizzo please <3 <3

cashed in a #latepass for this record and I have had this particular track on repeat for idk like 2 weeks?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpCphUPNPy4

also this one which makes me feel like I'm in a commercial and I have to like make a conscious effort not to dance in public when it comes on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_GPeHXUhvg

I did not hear this for the first time this year but it's such a baller song that I'm posting it anyway:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Cb6nUDNnpI

Can I stick skewers in my skin
And whirl a dervish spin?
Can I set myself on fire
To prove some kind of desire?

rly digging this new track by Novella. it was described to me as a Pale Saints song with a Lush chorus; it's super derivative and I'm not complaining one bit.

https://soundcloud.com/sinderlyn/05-land-gone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AhXSoKa8xw

yes yes fucking yes yes

btw a bunch of the other videos have had their audio yanked from Youtube otherwise I'd pretty much list the whole album

This is a quick, quarterly reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a few album selections) are being posted as updated to a thread-specific Spotify playlist that I'm maintaining.

That playlist is currently a bit more than three hours of music and is clickable below.
Give it a spin and subscribe if you want to listen along through the year.

I love this song off the new Mountain Goats album:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Inx7IMyXHzc

omg this is EVERYTHING, I cannot believe I have never heard this before!!! I think this is all I want to listen to for the rest of my life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op2Jfbnafgw

you are the cutest

It's really great when ppl discover Ofra Haza

I have the biggest weakness ever for dance/electronic music w/ heavy Middle Eastern/South Asian influence (which is prob rly reductive to lump together but I feel like there's some overlap w/ vocal stylings and types of instruments used)

DJ Snake continues to kill it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBn7bjy9c4U

this song makes me so giddy!!! How perfect for spring is this!??!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNJOUIA_rDI

just circling back here to say OMG NOVELLA

http://marriagesmusic.bandcamp.com/track/skin

This whole album is glorious but this is the song EZSnappin sold me on.

Did I forget to post Venera 4 to this thread? Apparently I did:

https://venera4band.bandcamp.com/track/black-paws-2

Also everyone seems to have lost their minds over the Shamir album and I was kind of skeptical until I heard the opening song:

https://open.spotify.com/track/4BL0cwm1vMK8Yl45gtdbKz

yeah, i'd been sorta missing shamir until now but this is really good

There's a new Chemical Brothers album out in July and I'm currently obsessed with this song off of it:

demand that you listen to it, or at least jenny ondioline

I was not on the Failure train back in the day but a bunch of my friends were, so I decided to check out the new album:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmbMeKeq1UU

it kind of rules

Two huge shock discoveries for me from Eaux Claires 2015:

Marijuana Deathsquads:

Colin Stetson:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTLbGytEz0U

how the hell did I not know about Algiers before now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpLMc6nWtJw&feature=youtu.be

i like that, sounds a bit like mid 80s foetus stuff

the album is essentially a post-punk/industrial band fronted by the lead singer of The Four Tops

okay you're getting me interested now

why have i not heard this til now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHwXoY0LiQk

you mean HOW have you not heard this?!

never understood what the random kid from my school is doing in that video.

what waht, you never heard that song before now???????

I mean I am sure that I have, but basically, no! When I listened to it the other day I didn't recognize it!

greatest song ever sometimes

also I heard "Can We" and then realized that Missy's "Can we get kinky tonight? Like Coko" line in "Da Rain" is a nod to it oh my godddddd

Dear Dan,
I thought of you.

^three hour 80's goth hits mixtape:

Curated last year by the always-intriguing S13, the mix delves into the dark territories—we’re talking the deep cuts, none of this ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’ stuff. The boisterous deathrock of Mighty Sphincter, Specimen’s Batcave trashiness, the artsy weirdness of Red Wedding and early 4AD stalwarts Mass, evocative and angular sounds from Skeletal Family and Red Temple Spirits and touches of propulsive EBM all feature in this massive mix. Highly worth revisiting—or discovering for the first time.

oh hey, this rules

2015 will not give us a pop song better than this.

I am so digging this awesome Japanese math-rock band! They are playing at a kool bar next week and I might go!

I'm going through Gwen Guthrie's back catalog and I am v partial to this fun lil jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8KuritUffo

Kamasi Washington album is like whoa

I may only play the entire thing 5 more times in my life but damn am I glad I bought that

i keep sorta starting it, getting four songs in and feeling like i need time to focus and digest and backing away slowly.
everything on it is excellent, just wanna let it connect at the pace it's demanding.

okay whoa I heard this in a bookstore in Montreal and I am getting like hard electro Klaus Nomi vibes from this and it's fantastic

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
