if you don't like a band only because they're mainstream, you're a douche.

WELCOME TO THE AVANT-GARDE-TRONICA MONDAY!


DAN DEACON - BROMST

CHECK IT OUT
Genre: weird folk / experimental / indietronica

Dan Deacon - Snookered (new album Bromst drops March 24th)


Note: this album is definitely not for everyone. It's a very 8-bit-ish collision of chaotic indie, pop and strange electronica. Highlights - Build Voice, Snookered, Padding Ghost. This album is great on drugs, lol. Some of the songs might be a little annoying but other ones (especially Snookered) are blissful.

Imagine a hi-speed version of Animal Collective. Non-abstract ODDSAC. Something along those lines.

LINK

This lovely electronic album is among one of my favorites from recent electronica-chillwave stage.


Washed Out - A Dedication

[bright lights, big city]

this release came out of nowhere. and to think a week ago, i had never even heard of Washed Out.

[Crazylegs]

haven't listened to it yet. But i've enjoyed washed out in the past, so i'll definitely give it a go.

[lostpilot]

WELCOME TO THE FOLK & MINIMAL FRIDAY!

Two new albums this.. week (lol, must have been like 2 months). Both quite different.

ALBUM #1 - Wye Oak - The Know
[spoiler]

genre: indie rock/folk rock/female vocals
Check it out and then buy it

A very nice indie/folk album with wonderful melodies, quite catchy, nothing over-the-top experimental/unique. A very fine album to enjoy on a sunny evening.
Standout tracks: Tattoo

p.s. if you like the album, BE SURE to check the other one, 'Civilian'.
[/spoiler]


ALBUM #2 - Bvdub - The Art of Dying Alone
[spoiler]

genre: minimal/ambient
Check it out and then buy it

Ah, droney minimal ambient techno.. It's in the background, it's in the back of your skull. Super honest, super dreamy.  Repetitive.
Standout tracks: To Finally Forget It All

[Crazylegs]

I started listening to S:T Erik - From under the tarn again today, after a period of listening to almost dopesmoker almost on a daily basis. It's not hard to hear the inspiration from Sleep. So good.

[lostpilot]

Sleep are much more chaotic and noisy, while S:T Erik keeps catchy lines and hooks!

[lostpilot]

all I need to say is that you have to at least try to listen to these tracks.

oOoOO - Stay Here [ft. M.L.]
Rangleklods - Cough [Official]

That track by Jon Hopkins is already among the best things I have heard all year.  Hope the entire album is just as good.

And the video is so cool, too. All thats needed for a stylish video: a good camera, and a kid with a blue eye skateboarding in slow motion luv it

the album is very very nice. Tracks are rather different but there's the same hi-fi modern electronic sound. Get it!

[Crazylegs]

I really enjoyed Jon Hopkins and Nosaj Thing.

[lostpilot]

Awesome!

Do you guys use Spotify?

[Crazylegs]

not me. I'm living in the past and haven't joined the streaming revolution.
