blog 2015/12/15 - BEST ALBUMS OF 2015

GO STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20151215-bo2015.zip

2015 was an incredible year for new music.  Good job everyone.  You did it.  We all win.
I have my top 31 albums here, plus 3 honorary mentions.


First up, the best album of 2014 that should have been 2015 but came out December 17th 2014...
D'Angelo and The Vanguard - Black Messiah
Had it come out 2 weeks later, this would be topping every 2015 list.  And since jerkface "best of" list makers like to now release their lists on December 1st, they EMBARRASSINGLY missed this one.  Take that, listmaker doofuses. (ummm...)

The SPIRITUAL album of 2015:
Run The Jewels - Meow The Jewels
A remix project beyond compare that fills a warm special part of my heart every time I hear it.  An internet crowdfunding joke fed of cat memes, this is the hero we deserve, AND the hero we wanted.

Most surprising comeback of 2015:
Violent Femmes - Happy New Year EP
This sounds exactly like The Violent Femmes as they sound in your crusty nostalgia:  sloppy singalong songs that are addictive as hell.  I am shocked.  I never expected this to be good.


OK, now on to the top 30, proper.


TIED FOR FIRST PLACE, THE BEST 3 ALBUMS OF 2015:
Joanna Newsom - Divers
Son Lux - Bones (& Lanterns Wicks EP)
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell


NEXT TIER, 10 INCREDIBLE ALBUMS (4-13) OF 2015:

Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit
Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
FKA Twigs - M3LL155X EP
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress
Holly Herndon - Platform
LabField - Bucket of Songs
Mbongwana Star - From Kinshasa
Purity Ring - Another Eternity
Sleater-Kinney - No Cities To Love
The Mountain Goats - Beat The Champ


AND ROUND IT OUT 18 MORE (14-31) GOOD ALBUMS OF 2015:

Arca - Mutant
Beach House - Depression Cherry
Beirut - No No No
Bell Witch - Four Phantoms
Bjork - Vulnicura
Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld - Never Were the Way She Was

MP3 blog 2015/12/01

blog 2015/12/01 - even the earth is unwinding

we imagine a clock ticking towards the stillness of the universe:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20151201.zip

This will most likely be the final MP3 blog of the year.  ENJOY, GORGE!  Well, I mean the final typical one.
Coming up soon, just like every other year:  BEST ALBUMS OF THE YEARS, followed by AN ORGY OF HOLIDY MUSIC.



Arca - Mutant
Arca - Umbilical:  While still not being the singer-songwriter fest we are all awaiting, and still not quite up to the high water mark left by Amon Tobin, Mutant is wildly more satisfying than Xen and a monumental achievement of electronic music production.  Highly recommended.

Beach House - Bluebird
Beach House - Space Song
Beach House - Sparks:  Depression Cherry continues the high bars set by prior Beach House albums.  You won't be disappointed.  And apparently they released another album this year?  WTF dudes, I'm just getting to this one.  OK OK OK you're awesome.  Recommended.

Black Beach - Rats
Black Beach - The Youth is Out There
Black Beach - You're a Ghost:  Another great band I discovered at RI Garage Fest!  Totes gives me the Mudhoney vibes.

Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time (Rhythm Scholar Remix):  I think we can ALL AGREE WITH ZERO DISSENT that this is a song that needs a new remix every year?  Yes?  Yes.

Faith No More - Matador
Faith No More - Sunny Side Up
Faith No More - Superhero:  Sol Invictus took me a few listens.  I always knew it was sneaking up on me, and now it is here:  the total joy of a new Faith No More record.  It really continues an evolution that skips over the Mr. Bungle albums (which I love) and sticks to the FNM stylistic core.  Goddamn that piano.  Highly recommended.

G.L.O.S.S. - G.L.O.S.S. (We're From The Future)
G.L.O.S.S. - Outcast Stomp:  Fucking haaaaaaaardcore!

Saint Clare - Goodbye to the Ghost
Saint Clare - Moving On
Saint Clare - Out on the Road:  These are from two great EPs from a great little Ottawa band.

Torres - Son, You Are No Island:  OK I'll admit, I'm a bit underwhelmed by Sprinter.  I really wanted to like it, alas, but I'll just sit here and be haunted by this one stunner.

Wolf Alice - Moaning Lisa Smile:  Close it off with a great track from Creature Songs!

MP3 blog 2015/11/24

blog 2015/11/24 - as high as we get we are just getting less oxygen

you won't even be there for the plunge:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20151124.zip


oh and hey I released a new mix.  You should get it.  http://djcpi.blogspot.ca/2015/11/cpi-on-clairvoyance.html


Beth Bomarbra - Thunder and Rain:  Twang in front front front

Bjork - Mouth Mantra (The Haxan Cloak Mix):  FACE. MELT. OFF.

Dan Deacon - When I Was Done Dying:  New from Gliss Riffer, this is a stroll through a forest where nothing terrible happens.

Dave DK - Coolette
Dave DK - Smukke Lyde:  smooth dude smooth, just nod.

Four Tet - Morning Side:  Morning/Evening is a smooth groove that you should really dedicate a morning to.

Gavage - (Downtown) Where the Killers Are
Gavage - Clowns Only

channeling that inner lain:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20151029.zip



Arca - Vanity:  New Arca track is all sorts of crunch synth yumminess.

Beck - Gimme:  Stumbling all around itself in a glorious way, I'm super in to this new clumsily psychedelic Beck track.  The 20 minute remix, not so much.

Claude VonStroke - Can't Wait:  This is blissful deepness omg I love it so much.

Father John Misty - Holy Shit
Father John Misty - True Affection:  I Love You, Honeybear is quality music of the folk.  Even if you just want to skim the top 4 songs, the purchase is worth it.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Frankie Knuckles - Your Love (Stanton Warriors Tribute Mix):  Smooth + deep with that signature breaky edge.

your canadian boyfriend awaits:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20151022.zip



79rs Gang - Drama:  Hoooooolly shit this track from Fire On The Bayou is slaying me.  After Treme did a great service of introducing Southern NO music to a wider audience, let's get fire like this everywhere.

Aphex Twin - disk prep calrec2 barn dance [slo]
Aphex Twin - diskhat ALL prepared1mixed 13:  Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt 2 has this nerdy aesthetic that just grabs me.  These are not the toe-tapping butt wagglers, but colder tracks that paint a picture of a genius slaving over an ocean of ridiculous pricey nerdtron analogue gear.  For you IDM aesthetes and tech junkies, this album is for you.

C.Diab - Ice
C.Diab - Stars Fall To Flames (shootout):  New C.Diab!  No Perfect Wave is highly recommended.

EVERLAKE x Kizer - Bang With The Gang:  BANGER!

Hidden Charms - It's Time:  That loving garage rock vibe.

In Sonitus Lux - On McTell Street:  Meandering plucked drifts from The Equinox Session.

Janet Jackson - Love Will Never Do (Nude Remix):  Uhhhh did you have your money down on "hot Janet Jackson comeback" for 2015?  If so, YOU WIN!

Kings Quest - Half Hearted
Kings Quest - Tuggeranong:  The iimmediate sense of frustration you might associate with a band name like that is dissolved by the janglepop goodness of this garage fun.

Mura Masa - Lovesick Fuck:  Oh god yes, fuck me up with those steel drums.

oriJanus - Fola (OG Sade Flip):  Chiiiiil beans

Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique - Lose Control
Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique - Set Me Free:  2 great little pop tracks from the Love Is Free collab EP.

Samuel Kerridge - Paint It Black:  Hell yessss some moody industrial flagellation.

Sweatson Klank - I'm A Fool:  Chill downtempo bass hotness to say goodbye

From the performance press release:

“phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid… when the internal energy of the solid increases” A plinth, an ice sculpture, a body and CPI. Two years after a welcomed prophylactic massectomy, Cara Tierney reflects on post-surgical corporeality as sound artist CPI sonically weaves icebergs and high-tension metals. This presentation mimics a gallery sculptural installation and as such people are encouraged to come and go as they please and drop-in at their convenience.

µ-Ziq - New Bimple
µ-Ziq - Rimmy
µ-Ziq - XT:  XTLP has got my bum wiggling . It compiles 2 prior EPs with some exclusive tracks and the whole thing is a Mike Paradinas masterclass in electronica.  Super accessible and filled with all sorts of great vibes to build your next Arduino project to.  HIGHLY RECOMMENED.

C.Diab - On The Island pt 1
C.Diab - Ships:  Been listening to a bunch of C.Diab lately and these two slabs come from the glorious Beacons.  Recommended.

Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld - Won't Be A Thing To Become:  Ummmmmm this is kind of perfect and amazing?  Entering in to a duet, Stetson gets to chill the hell out and lay down some smooth loops for Neufeld to meld with.  Never Were The Way She Was has me pretty excited, and we just need to layer on some valiums til we get ever closer to Bohren und der Club of Gore.

Daktyl - Salters ft Jennifer Akerman:  Total hot groove.

FKA Twigs - Glass & Patron
FKA Twigs - In Time:  UUUUUUNNNFFFFF OH MY GAWWWWWD Glass & Patron is such a fucking jam.  Check the music video before you die.  And the whole M3LL155X is fucking HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Kito - Get Faded ft Tara Carosielli:  Oh yes and this just continues that groove perfectly.

Latimore - Out To Get'cha (Soulist & Dj Vas Rework):  "you can rely on the old man's money, you can rely on the old man's money… AHHH AHHH AHHH AHH STAYIN' ALIVE STAYIN' ALIVE"

Roisin Murphy - Evil Eyes
Roisin Murphy - Uninvited Guest
Roisin Murphy - Unputdownable:  I was a bit not in to the new album Hairless Toys, but I really dig these nuggets.

starRo - Emotion ft ChristianCrow (shigge rework):  Total groove on that subbass

Woolymammoth - Ridoline:  Let's get it gone!  HA!

Christine and the Queens - Saint Claude:  joypop from Chaleur Humaine.

Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - Familiar
Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - Sunday Candy
Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - Wanna Be Cool:  Surf is an extensive document, flitting through a number of organic crunchy grooves, all anchored on the best dang wind section you've ever heard in hiphop.  Oh yeah and Chance The Rapper is involved.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

HeadBanga - High:  More bass bangs up high!

Johnny Jewel - Bullytown:  A giant bucket of darkness.

Lights - Running With The Boys (Leisure Cruise Remix):  Groove house groove

Roedelius Schneider - Hohner Omen
Roedelius Schneider - Umstunden
Roedelius Schneider - Unsettled Hours:  Tiden is a wonderful album of acoustic sounds mixed with extensive electronics processing.  It is full of lush textures I just want to nuzzle in to.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Son Lux - Change Is Everything
Son Lux - This Time
Son Lux - Your Day Will Come:  There is an aching Owen Pallett chasm in my heart that opens each year and demands to be filled.  If a new OP album has not emerged, I eye the world furiously for something to balm my wounds.  And oh here it is.  BONES fills that canyon in my heart and shoots sparks deep in to my soul.  I love this album so much.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  will melt minds.

Speedy Ortiz - Homonovus
Speedy Ortiz - Puffer
Speedy Ortiz - Raising the Skate:  New Speedy Ortiz album Foil Deer is amazing.  Better than the previous one?  Pretty much equal?  Hard to say, but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Against Me! - Black Me Out (live)
Against Me! - FUCKMYLIFE666 (live)
Against Me! - Transgender Dysphoria Blues (live):  23 Live Sex Acts is for the Against Me! completest, I do declare.  I loved the last album, but so many of the anthems just fall flat for me.  The new material still sizzles, but yeah we're not teenage anarchists any more and the nostalgia is faded.  Like so many live albums, this is for the true fans.

Dan Lissvik - Airwalk
Dan Lissvik - Shuvit!:  Lissvil has always been a sublimely aces producer, and these tracks from Shuvit! demand your total groove devotion.

Doe - Julia Survived:  Rock out from the First Four LP.

Jamie xx - Gosh
Jamie xx - Sleep Sound:  OH GOSH INDEED. In Colour is all sorts of amazing.  Just go buy it.  Just go.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Pixies - Gigantic:  I am continuing my swim through all of the Pixies remasters, and here's a great little number from Surfer Rosa circa 1988.

Run The Jewels - Close Your Eyes And Meow To Fluff (George Barrow Remix)
Run The Jewels - Creown (The Alchemist Remix)
Run The Jewels - Meowpurrdy ft Lil Bub & Snoop Dogg, Maceo & Delonte (El-P Remix)
Run The Jewels - Paw Due Respect (Blood Diamonds Remix):  HOOOOOLLLLLYYYYY SHHHIIIIITTTTTT ARE YOU EVEN READY?  No you're not.  Time to get knocked the hell down.  MEOW THE JEWELS IS HERE!  If you haven't downloaded it yet, go and do so, as it's free.  Go buy a physical copy and all profits go to charity.  Calling it now:  these beats are better than Yeezus.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The Mountain Goats & Kaki King - Black Pear Tree
The Mountain Goats & Kaki King - Supergenesis
The Mountain Goats & Kaki King - Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is In Another Castle:  Woah, another great surprise I stumbled on!  Black Pear Tree EP came out 2008 but I just found it now and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want to compile a mixtape of all of the MG songs featuring women vocals, because there are a few and they are all pretty great but woah Black Pear Tree, an unstoppable force.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thomas Scholz - Mimesis (Rampue Remix):  Lowkey ecstatic electronic blissout

Two Gallants - Incidental:  Fab rock from We Are Undone.

all of the rarest pepes can't bail you out:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150922.zip



Beirut - August Holland
Beirut - Gibraltar
Beirut - So Allowed:  The new album No No No is a delight.  It's lovely.  No, it's not quite as amazing as his prior albums, but that's like comparing a A- to a string of A+s.  Still: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Cathedrals - Harlem (BØRNS x Tommy English Remix):  Perfect electro pop nugget.

Chick Quest - Explain Yourself to a Bat:  You just gotta start trying it.

Island Apollo - Lion Eyes:  Just imagine an 80s glam rocker leaning on his mic stand towards the camera singing this.

KloË - Grip:  Epic soaring, release the eagles!

Pixies - Debaser
Pixies - Here Comes Your Man:  Oh hey a few years ago the Pixies albums were rereleased, so going through those again.  Here's 2 from the Doolittle remaster.

Quasimoto - Astronaut
Quasimoto - Catchin' The Vibe
Quasimoto - Seasons Change:  Yessir Whatever came out in 2013, a collection of bsides and rarities and reworks and such.  And it's probably one of the best Quas albums thanks to it's conciseness.  RECOMMENDED.

Sean McCann - Character Change
Sean McCann - Reservations / An Exchange of Courtesies pts. 1 & 2:  Music for Private Ensemble is an absolute delight and a surprise.  Fusing lush textural ambience with contemporary classical, I have nothing but love for this release.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Suffix - Come With Us:  Sweet pitched vox + bass.  God I'm good at coming up with genre names.

The Mountain Goats - Blood Capsules:  New Mountain Goats single!  I think this was a record store day thing.  It's awesome.  Flipside was a dubbed instrumental, so uhhhh kinda perfect.

Window - Ytopi:  This is just some bomb beats idm goodness.

MP3 blog 2015/09/10: Daphne Music Vol. 005

blog 2015/09/10 - Daphne Music vol 005
   
back on the dace floor:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150910-daphne005.zip

It has been too long and so we are back with another mix of favourite songs of my daughter!


Not much to explain here, except, say, the Lykke Li.  It might be a bit of a pacing shock, but let me explain.

Lykke Li came on during a car ride and my daughter started asking about why the song was sad.
Then soon after she kept saying "I want the sad song!" on subsequent rides.
Eventually she started singing along to the songs, improvising lyrics as to why Lykke Li was sad, and what we could do to make her feel better.  (Give her hugs and kisses.)

Sleepy Tom & Gladiator - Cruise Control:  Boom all over my face.

The Mountain Goats - Sinaloan Milk Snake Song:  Dug out the ol' Zopilote Machine again and oh I miss the backing vocals.

They Might Be Giants - Nanobots
They Might Be Giants - Sleep
They Might Be Giants - You're On Fire:  Nanobots isn't going to exactly restore all of your 90s love for TMBG but I was happy to find a handful of tracks on here I could really get in to, ala Factory Showroom.

Insan3Lik3 - Even When Im Down Under:  Now that I'm in my caffeine groove we can chill to these smooth pads and cuddling bass.

blog 2015/07/14 - it doesn't show because you're not looking

Always have some place to be safe in:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150714.zip



Best Girl Athlete - He's Calling:  Oh waltz with me across the floor!

Buffy Saint Marie - Working For The Government (A Tribe Called Red 2015 Mix):  HOOOOOOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS AMAAAAAAZINGGGGGG

Father John Misty - Bored In The USA:  How much smirk can a Garfunkel throwback brim with?

Hundreds - Ten Headed Beast (Radio Edit):  Blissful and perfectly stated.  everything about this is in perfect balance.

Joey Bada$$ - Born Day (AquariUS):  Dip back in to those oh so sweet organ grooves.

Joyce Moreno - Aldeia De Ogum (Psychemagik Remix):  I’m all bubbley for this one and those slight Stereolab undertones.

Kanye West - Only One (BLUEfiveone Remix):  OK OK OK this one is kind of sweet.

Katie Herzig - Free My Mind (RAC Remix):  I've had the original up here, but I think we all know now that I love a perfect RAC tweak.

Ought - Habit
Ought - Pleasant Heart
Ought - The Weather Song:  Wow, what an amazing surprise.  I missed this in 2014 and it fills a spot in my heart I didn't know was empty.  More Than Any Other Day is a staggeringly exciting album, full of so many sounds that make you forget that first time you heard Fugazi because fuck that, times changes, you grow up, and there is always new glory to be found.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Panda Coast - For Me:  I'm assuming this is that rare Panda Bear / Best Coast crossover?

Rubblebucket - Waiting Room (Fugazi cover):  Sacrilicious?

The Acid - Basic Instinct:  Great little unassuming electropop.

Willis Earl Beal - Too Dry To Cry:  Damn that's cold.

blog 2015/07/07 - no one is the water

but this is how it all shakes down:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150707.zip



Castro - Twitch ft Branko & Pot:  GET THAT RATCHET GOING!

Jfm - Eenuff
Jfm - Fall Asleep With Candles Lit:  There is something so OFF about these tracks and that's why I love them.

Jlin - Expand:  Oh hey another band name that looks like someone sneezed on the keyboard (side-eyeing you Jfm…)  but you keep being awesome, k?

John Carpenter - Night (Theatre Of Delays Remix):  I think we all know this needed to happen.

John Coltrane Quartet - Alabama:  Throwback Tuesdays!  I guess?  Been digging on this one a bunch on repeat.

Kid Crème - Sugarman:  After the success of that Searching for Sugarman doc I was wondering when I'd stumble on some house remixes.  And here we are!

Kid Smpl - Vaccine:  Ooooo that grind is so good.

Mount Eerie - Books:  From the new album Sauna!

Mount Kimbie - Maybes (James Blake Remix):  A classic IDM track in my opinion, this little bit of Blake glaze serves it well.

Restorations - Separate Songs:  Ahhh so down with that slight gravely east-coast barroom sound

Sampha - Indecision:  GAH I AM DEAD.  This is so so so good.  It's like a grandiose electropop song was done as a beautiful acoustic piano rendition and ooooooo I hope someone remixes this, it is so beautiful.

Serocee - Propellah:  BOUNCE!

Tep No - A Different You ft Jessica Hart
Tep No - Meant To Be:  That saxophone though.  No really.

The Go! Team - The Scene Between:  Awww yes, the kids ARE all right!

blog 2015/06/23 - this all prevents it from happening so fast

but we cheat and do it to ourselves slowly:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150623.zip



Cadenza x FEM FEL - Electric Blocks:  This is the deep big room feel that I want all night.

Dead Land - Opium Clouds
Dead Land - Walking With Death (Eternal Exit):  2 tracks from Death Has Made It's Peace With Me, love the drift of postrock swoon.

Kin Cayo - Shot The Sun Down:  Dial down the pop from Passion Pit levels to something manageable, thanks.

King Tuff - Eyes of the Muse:  Oh gloried 60s vibe!

Little Daylight - Be Long (Twice As Nice Remix):  Electropop plod along!

Major Lazer & DJ Snake - Lean On ft MO:  Pop classic up there with Get Free in terms of being an instant classic.

Northumbria - The Ocean Calls us Home:  Drone it out in to the skies!

Oh Wonder - Lose it (Nubbz Remix):  Oh the smoothness.

Partynextdoor - Juss Know ft Travis Scott:  I can't help but think of a phrase like "I remember everything" as a horrific reveal in the scariest of psychological horror films.  Also, dat bass.

Perseus - Shadow of the Beast:  Can we agree to call housey electrop GloryHole?  I think that's a swell name for a genre.

Teeth Engraved With The Names Of The Dead - Lacerate:  Sweet digestible noisedrone from Starving the Fires (Pt. I)

Viet Cong - Bunker Buster
Viet Cong - Continental Shelf
Viet Cong - Silhouettes:  From the self-titled 2014 debut…

Watering - Baltimore
Watering - Tall Basser:  Oh gosh these are a special bliss.  It feels like post rock jazz that dance so whistfully you wonder if it will ever just collapse.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
