This is pretty great. I've just got this and their first LP and early 7 inches within the last few weeks. This new one has some Morricone-like parts, which sort of related to the Broadcast record mentioned above (which I havn't heard yet) though I suspect the soundtracks they are referencing are quite different. Also, gotta love Thrill Jockey's policy of posting full track length streams for every release.

Fender just released a new version of the Fender Bass VI guitar, which was unavailable for a long time and very high priced on the collectors market, and which is played all over these records, for a non-outlandish price (still too much for yours truly at the moment). Coincidence? So want one of those...

 

...then this Fall they sold preorders for a Squier version for half the price of the "Pawn Shop" version released in the Spring. Behind on production, just rolling out now. This is much closer to the original from the 60's, want one myself but kinda broke for now.

One of the best guitar records released this year, superb! Cosmic americana, the solos remind
me of Tom Verlaine.

That Robedoor album is really good, always surprised those guys aren't bigger, they have been releasing killer stuff for years. I saw them in London recently and only about 40 people were there.

and fucking lustmord, damnit. brainbombs....

not getting the widespread OPN love, big fan up until this point but the newie felt hollow, vacuous, not only conceptually but musically too. it seems flat, where his prior stuff, even replica, felt shapely and dense. r plus 7 may be ostensibly dense but fundamentally it's just a fucking cavern. perhaps incomplete.

logos, though, hot diggity.

I first thought that but revisiting it a month later, it really clicked for me.
His synth sounds are so lush and organic. But in terms of hollow and vacuous I'm pretty surprised you but the James Ferraro album in yr list because I thought that pretty accurately described his new release haha

But in all seriousness I haven't really finished catching up yet to post my favourites but this album is a fucking blast. Stoner desert blues...

yeah it got a lot of hate, and ranking it that highly does seem a bit exorbitant (after 20 it's like completely arbitrary) but I did really enjoy it, seems quite disembodied and fragmented in a way which really accentuates both their endearing minimalism and their songwriting abilities. closer to weirdo rippers in that sense, although some of the poppier songs on here (the second and third tracks, running from a go-go etc.) really benefit from this new approach. closer to post-rock in its traditional, original sense ie the british approach of the early 90s: stripping rock down to its constituent parts and leaving it just floating about in the ether, letting each individual element breathe. some of it doesn't work, especially the more mechanical songs (especially lock box) but it's really good to here them challenge themselves like this in terms of process, and I think the strides made here will be consolidated and wholly capitalized on on their next LP or whatever. so yeah, more a process piece than anything else but interesting and overall 'fun'/'yipee' nonetheless.

the difference for me lies in that ferraro is attempting to convey a certain coldness, it's a consciously bare album in accordance with its subject matter. it's a dark, bleak record and he imbues more coherent song structures with that intricate sound design he gave the similarly hollow and vacuous far side virtual with. conversely, lopatin seems to be trying to use this dull palette to illustrate something altogether more grand, as in that which we have purportedly relegated to the perfunctory and heartless is far more glorious than we give it credit, but it feels half-baked and thereby undermines what he's attempting to do. on a purely aesthetic/musical level, something like the back half of zebra or along give off that same intoxicating sense of stasis that made the earlier stuff so insanely awesome, but the rhythmic approach just sounds like amateur hour glass or reich.

so I don't know whether I can truthfully relegate a musical piece to the level that I have solely on the basis that it doesn't fulfill its intentions, but when it is ostensibly that bound up in conceptualism I don't think it can be wholly overlooked; that is, ferraro totally succeeds and lopatin falls a bit short.

plus I simply don't enjoy it as much as returnal, betrayed in the octagon, ruined lives et al. in fact that's probably it, when I think about it. they strove for emotional resonance and they delivered in spades, whereas r plus 7 goes a more oblique route so as to harness that same effect and in my mind just doesn't hit it, at least not as deftly/powerfully.
