It's such still perfect music, it's like they're so into the moment that they're trying to play without disturbing any of the air molecules in the room

yeah that Gaussian Curve album is brilliant, in fact all the projects Jonny Nash has been involved in this year have been massively overlooked

Think I will ultimately plump for this utterly lovely little record by Cheer Accident which nobody's heard (listen if you like: gorgeous, knotty prog-pop - this album comes off as an older, wilder American cousin of Field Music maybe?) Oh look, there's me commenting on it and all

I'm surprised Laura Marling - Semper Femina hasn't gotten more love, it's really good!
― Moodles, Friday, 6 October 2017 22:44 (six years ago) link
It seems like the loudest Laura Marling boosters (on this board) lost interest with the last album. I think it's an excellent album but it's still just not really my type of thing. But if anything I like it better as an album overall than what she's done before (and I liked Short Movie more than what came before that).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

― 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
