Great news, Dean/AD are Kranky's best-kept secret, sadly.

New Windy and Carl kills. Absolutely one of their best. (It's not quite, say, their Double Negative but it comes from a similar place.)

Which W&C is that? Forest Trails or something else?

I like the new Dean Roberts but can't help but feel like its deliberately prosaic lyricism detracts from it somewhat, as though he were weaving an aural narrative about failed interpersonal relationships from the wizened perspective of a 50-something divorcee or whatever and I just find that shit hopelessly dull, like a Jonathan Franzen novel.

Basically I hate psychosocial lyrics that make me feel like I'm supposed to relate to them, like 'wow so true man'.

Unsurprisingly, the new Windy & Carl is indeed fantastic.

Listened to it twice in a row last night. It’s terrific.

It is indeed. I'll have a piece running soon -- did a big ol' interview with them, though only a few samples of it will be used in the final result.

The Ana Roxanne album has been my safe space throughout November.

I love the bits where she doesn't use her speaking voice, otherwise it takes me a little too out of itself.

^really enjoying this, it's one of the few times I've discovered something via letting Spotify auto-play.

i wish i liked the mj guider record a bit more cos i loved her first one, but maybe it'll grow on me with time. not sure what's missing, maybe it's just me? probably worth a spin if you're into bowery electric or early HTRK though

I'd like it better if there was less talking involved.

Anyone heard any more of the Niecy Blues album aside from what's on Bandcamp?
