NEXT BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:
facebook are super jerkfaces and are fucking over the group system. That means this group will eventually be "upgraded", and in doing so, YOU ALL LOSE MEMBERSHIP.
That is right, you will have to REJOIN THIS GROUP, when that happens. No way around it. Facebook just sucks.
I will try and send a final message out to remind you before the axe falls...
In the meantime, you can subscribe to email updates of this blog at http://djcpi.blogspot.com if you want.
Anyways, on to the goods:
9b0 - Antilightbulb (Error Version): Crunchy yummy IDM! And anything with 'bulb' in the title is inevitably a nod to Aphex Twin, right?
Crocodiles - Sleep Forever: Ecstatic fuzz rock that bridges that (actually rather common) gap between dream pop and Dinosaur Jr.
Eddy B & Tim Gunter - Bring In The Day ft
The Doors: I have no idea why the bulk of modern pop hiphop has to anchor itself to past hits, but *shrug*, don't expect me to expend much effort dissecting it. From last year's "Dear North Carolina, Welcome Back"
Ellie Goulding - The Writer (
Alan Braxe Remix): The original was one of my unsung favourites off the album, the kind of slightly sappy that you'd cuddle up to with your Tori Amos doll. I'm happy to hear this remix, with Mr. Alan Braxe, the king of ecstatic pop remixes, at the boards.
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
Fleet Foxes - Lorelai: "Helplessness Blues"? Seriously? Holy shit what a buzz kill. These dudes are sad something fierce.
This album isn't nearly as good as their first one. Much more mellow, a bit murkier. And it sounds like they spent a year locked in a room listening to Simon & Garfunkel records, crying over their break-up. BUT, it is still a top quality album. It might not grab everyone, but if you like full-bodied sullen folk, definitely pick it up.
Ghostface Killah - Together Baby: Hotness from last year's The Apollo Kids!
Higuma - Burning Colors: Pacific Fog Dreams is a lovely album of atmospheric guitar feedback and bigs chords. Like if SUNN O))) changed their medication.
Kelis - Brave (
Dark Sky Remix): Kelis gets another superdope remix, this time in the key of latenight dubsteppiness.
Lykke Li - Unrequited Love
Lykke Li - Youth Knows No Pain: I posted some tracks and remixes before, but I am here with the verdict that the new album Wounded Rhymes is indeed HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. What a difference it all is, with a guitar rock feel on some songs, a twangy croon reminiscent of Basia Bulat, and only a few nods to the album of yore. Drop your expectations and dive in, or you'll get left behind by her.
Niki & The Dove - Mother Protect: This is like if The Knife teamed up with Young Galaxy and got all mellow together.
Pechenga - Gitaro: Gorgeous instrumental guitar and effects from the new album "Helt Borte".
Ryan Bingham - The Weary Kind (
Lanny May Remix): Emotive electro country twang! A first! And I love it.
The Charlatans - The Only One I Knows: Oh this one is delightfully dreary. A mopey sing-a-long chorus of "everyone's been burned before, everyone knows the pain"? Just the perfect amount of concilliatory group moping.
The Weeknd - The Party & The After Party: I am extremely sceptical by this new wave of digital RNB redux. So fucking hyped. And while I've been deleting a deluge of tracks that pretty much take watered-down D'angelo and toss on some XX/JBlake synths, this is one of the few that was spared the axe. The album House of Balloons itself was way too much to take, but this track is the perfect distillation of my favourite parts.
Wye Oak - Fish: After last year's amazing EP, I had such such SUCH high hopes for this new album! But I'm taking this song, and passing on the rest of Civilian. I just couldn't get in to it. It just felt so... muted? I dunno.
