Very much enjoying Dauwd's Theory of Colours. Glass Jelly stands out at the moment, but the whole album is good.

My new favorite album of the year is Gurr's 'In My Head,' and I don't give a shit that it came out in October 2016. I didn't hear it until last night.

I'm all in on Hazel English
― Gukbe, Sunday, 13 August 2017 08:19 (six years ago) link
I kinda thought Hazel English was neat when there was a steady drip of singles every few weeks, but once I heard them all together on a single album I got bored by the sameyness.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 13 August 2017 13:39 (six years ago) link
Understandable! I listened to it due to circumstances (it was the only thing I had for a few days) and I went from liking its vibe to (most of) the individual songs.

Really enjoying the recent Chris Bathgate record, starts out as a folksy singer-songwriter thing, spreads out into the cosmos, then recedes back.

I was staying in a pub near Hawarden for work last month and they had this channel on that played all this weird and wonderful music but I didn't have a pen with me to write any of it down but I was able to get another guest to record this for me. I can't remember the name of the channel and last time I was there I couldn't find the pub either (it was a last minute booking and I paid cash)

Perversely unmentioned to date:
Colin Stetson - All This I Do for Glory (you know what to expect, close/contact mic sax aping minimalists, good but diminishing returns)Susanne Sundfør - Music for People in Trouble (acoustic-to-orchestral angst favored by fans of her last, ABBA-esque album. Spoken word bits belong elsewhere)Sevdaliza - Ison (close in conception to FKA Twigs, Arca-inspired downtempo with strong cabaret vocals by an Iranian expat)Kaleida - Tear The Roots (Soft Cell backing Tracey Thorn is an idea I can get behind. The EPs were better)Allie X - CollXtion II (craftmanlike synthpop, chugging away without much attention)London Grammar - Truth Is a Beautiful Thing (Hannah Reid is probably more talented than your favorite current vocalist)Nídia - Nídia é má, Nídia é fudida (ok, I mentioned this upthread, but Afro-house/electronica fans should be all over this)Hammock - Mysterium (plugging away at the ambient side of shoegaze for over a decade, this is among their best)Widowspeak - Expect the Best (more Mazzy twang indie. A personal weakness)Ifriqiyya Électrique - Rûwâhîne (Gnawa inspired call/response with sympathetic production)Anneli Drecker - Revelation for Personal Use (I'd love to see a S/D for post Bel Canto Drecker)Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - The Kid (cheating: out 6 October. Florid bucolic dreampop, as one might expect)
