how is there no dedicated Three Lobed thread?

Good question. I mean, they come up HERE a lot, but Three Lobed is broader than this thread tends to get. Such a good label.

did you guys all hear fabiano do nascimento's album from last year, tempo dos mestres? he's a brazilian guitarist based in california, his playing is tight, crisp, light & lyrical, it's full of gorgeous and quite varied duets, he's got a lovely voice (top mumbler) and is generally an irresistible cutie. it's easily the best guitar album I've heard from the last few years, it's everything I want from guitar music

yeah it's lovely

I love the old school 60s hard-pan stereo mix
This stops me listening to the orang-asli playing their nose flutes, and frankly that isn't good enough*! Jokes, obviously, I'm sure I picked up his first record on this thread, and loved it. Didn't know about the second.
*Apologies for any dickish comments during Lattimore-gate.

let's all hold hands and bask in fab's light. the first album is really good but tempo dos mestres is a glistening masterpiece. all these bad boys trying to cook up the gnarliest open-tuned whirlwind to supercharge everything with righteous fury and here's fabiano with the gentlest breeze to make your heart cave in. there's so much joy in it, such clarity to his playing (a v rare quality nowadays) and it's foregrounded so beautifully by the more diffuse/unfocused elements (is this what he means when he talks about the rainforest? I have never been & have no clue), especially the percussion

would be curious how you feel about the new daniel bachman, as he's sort of abandoned his young hotshot status for more ethereal stuff
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 21 August 2018 17:43 (nine months ago) Permalink
he also put these other versions/reworkings on bandcamp - https://fabianodonascimento.bandcamp.com/album/tempos-selection
hard to pick any tracks out on such a consistent record but his version of canto de xango is... the best version? it's sublime, anyway. really adore o tempo too, just the sweetest tune
haven't been able to bring myself to listen to the bachman yet despite yr and global's enthusiasm. i will dutifully report back if and when

New Glenn Jones here. Haven't seen any discussion on this yet.
― outside, you're never alone. (Austin), Monday, 27 August 2018 15:59 (nine months ago) Permalink
yeah just digging into it this morning on the way into work
glenn's about as consistent an artist as you'll find in the world today, he's so at ease with his own playing
the last passenger pigeon is a standout
only thing that's kind weird for him is i hear some rattling on his guitar that's def. not there on my garden state, almost sounds like a setup issue on the guitar?
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 27 August 2018 16:02 (nine months ago) Permalink
xp below the fold, but this is all the discussion I see here so far:

I like River in the Sky where you can hear crickets and a plane flying by overhead
Bachman has a lot of environmental stuff on his album too, definitely adds to the sense of space
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 27 August 2018 16:25 (nine months ago) Permalink
Bachman's new one is terrific, puts a lot of other stuff in this vein to shame imo

WXDU /Three Lobed day party at Hopscotch is upon us (i.e. today). Tons of good stuff lined up, beginning with Bachman at 12 pm. Will post a link to the livestream when I find it (unless they aren't doing it this year, but my guess is they are).

Alright, line-up and links here: http://www.kingsraleigh.com/shows/three-lobed-wxdu-2018-annual-ritual-of-summoning-a-day-show/

that's amazing it's free! would be fun to go to
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 14:16 (nine months ago) Permalink
If you are remote the entire day’s performances will be simulcast on WXDU using a special live feed from NYCTaper‘s Jonas Blank.
cool, maybe these sets will show up on the NYCTaper site?
― sleeve, Friday, 7 September 2018 14:28 (nine months ago) Permalink
usually some of 'em (though not all of 'em) show up on NYC Taper
― tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 14:53 (nine months ago) Permalink
My guess is some performers are cool with it and some maybe aren't, but its a bummer they don't all end up there. Regardless, I hope to catch most of this live if I can.
― grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 15:01 (nine months ago) Permalink
I have made it to a couple of these, it is a good time. Pretty low key and of course the line-up is usually stacked. And added bonus of it being free, which is crazy.
― grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 15:02 (nine months ago) Permalink
As UMS noted! (being free that is)
― grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:09 (nine months ago) Permalink
Seems like Bachman has a crew there! Not sure who is playing with him, but lots of bells/noisemakers starting this thing off.
About 10 minutes in and no guitars hah hah. Going full Pelt.
― grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:15 (nine months ago) Permalink
yeah this is so great...dronetastic
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 16:38 (nine months ago) Permalink
Two members of the current Mind Over Mirrors crew apparently (Jamie Fennely himself and Jim Becker of Califone/MoM live ensemble). Also Forrest Marquise, who plays the octotone and other instruments on the last couple of records. Indeed, droney as hell. For those who didn't tune in, it was a single long piece with constant drones going and a lengthy Daniel guitar passage in the middle. Good afternoon listening for sure.

Pretty sure it was "Invocation" from the new album stretched out to twice as long

love that between sets they switch to roots reggae :)

it's actually kinda helpful -- i've tuned in during past years' shows and thought i was listening to a live performance only to realize it was like Dopesmoker or something.
― tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 17:38 (nine months ago) Permalink
haha yeah this keeps a nice stoner mellow vibe but it's distinct

i think this is a dub instrumental version of "black starliner" by culture?

Hah the Sleep excerpts keep popping up as well. I prefer the dub/roots, but I mean it all works in its own way.

Is Matt Valentine actually stoned all the time, or has he just perfected sounding that way?
