blog 2016/03/17 - on the knees it's less dangerous

we are just the echoes:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20160317.zip


Annabelle's Curse - Brother In Arms:  Lovely little track to start us off, from Worn Out Skin.

Big Freedia - Pussy Pop:  UH OH UH OH UH OH AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH

Floating Points - Nespole
Floating Points - Peroration Six:  Elaenia is reminds me of the first time I heard Tortoise's Millions Now Living Will Never Die, except more influenced by Orb than post-rock.  Recommended!

Gospel Machine - Just Call Me:  Soul rock that sounds pretty much like the name would have you expecting!

Jim O'Rourke - All Your Love
Jim O'Rourke - Friends With Benefits
Jim O'Rourke - Last Year:  Sometimes an album gets praise and you put it on and you just don't notice.  And you go back, and again, and you're not IN TO IT, but intruiged.  And then suddenly it clicks and realize suddenly that it has been working it's subtleties in to your brain and all at once the album is an essential brilliant whole.   Simple Songs is fantastic, and doesn't quite live up to the title.  While it's no O'Rourke's avant jams, the tones of this album might at first listen seem simple, but the songs themselves fold outward with a refined maturity and depth that would make a prog fan turn their head.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  Each of these songs could have been half of thier length and still been satisfying and lowkey, but they are bubbling with layers and complexity.

Maxence Cyrin - No Cars Go (Arcade Fire piano cover)
Maxence Cyrin - Where Is My Mind (The Pixies Piano Cover):  Yeah you know you wanted these.  Fite me.

Melt-Banana - The Hive:  From 2013's Fetch, my god I can't tell you how much I fucking love Melt Banana.  ESSENTIAL.

Odesza - Light ft Little Dragon:  Smooth as shit.  wait what a horrible turn of phrase.

Oh Wonder - Lose It:  Smooth house pop yes

Rae Sremmurd - No Flex Zone:  This is just straight banging.

Rokia Traoré - N'Téri:  My jaaaam

Vice Squad - Latex Love:  Oh wait this is from 1981?  No Cause For Concern yesss

Worriers - They Them Theirs:  Love this track from Imaginary Life.
