Really? You're that desperate for attention?

It does kick ass though.



I think people are just happy to see Daughters back, honestly.

Can't say that I blame them. A lot of music has been feeling awfully safe lately.

But yeah, even SUMAC's Love in Shadow it is not.

Probably would still include it in my top 10 of the year though

...

🤔


Yeah I might too. Lower rung, for sure. No. 9 or 10. But it might be in there.

Again, good album, just not a mindblower. For me, anyway.

Nurse With Wound - Dark Drippings......a collection of raw sources,outtakes and alternate erosions of the NWW release - Dark Fat

I've had the demos for this album for almost a decade, under the band name Carny [thanks, fortblower]. I can't tell you how excited and pleased that I am that it was finally released.

Another Paul Leary masterpiece.

 

ps: how can you fuckheads not love rico suave?

I still can’t really believe that a one-man indie rock act form Seattle would be worth listening to in the 2010s, but this guys is prolific and stupid talented and he puts just the right amount and degree of slacker intensity into his multi-stanza opuses for it to hit a sweet spot.

I didn’t think re-recording an old bandcanp release would really work as a “new” album, but it does.

You know, people are always talking about “apples and oranges,” but the thing is — apples and oranges are comparable by their very nature. They’re both fruit. They’re both sweet. It’s actually an important fundamental element of critical thought to consider the differences between things that are geberally similar.

Anyway... I think what I mean about K.D. Lange was, as the kids say, “Weird flex but ok.” And also that you shouldn’t criticize people for liking music that you think is empty, because you like music that other people think is empty.

It’s like malignant tumors and cysts, basically.

Good enough for me to listen to despite being on this HUGE metal and shoegaze kick rn. Yes.

I'm also enjoying it more than I had originally expected. Either this year has just been unusually great for music, or I'm just paying more attention. It's like Daniel Johnston but by someone who isn't mentally ill. Love, love, love Stop Smoking (We Love You). That's brilliantly cheeky.

Not a single nanosecond wasted. A perfect album.

Thanks for the tip! Such a great album and one I’ll be replacing from the flood. Wash Me Clean and Miss Chatelaine are personal favorites. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since her last proper solo release.

Have you listened to Teens of Denial?

Good shit on there.

Like Guided by Voices only by someone who isn’t drunk.

Savage Clone 12.15.2018 11:26 PM

I opened for Agalloch once. They were most excellent.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 12.16.2018 12:26 AM

Check it out. “Drunk Drivers (Killer Whales)” and “Destroyed by Hippie Powers” and “Vincent” ... all just stupid good tracks.
