Autechre - Confield

By becoming even more detached, mechanical, cold, and uninviting, Autechre somehow became even more interesting.

One of their best.

Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance

Still sounds so fresh, after over 30 years.

This is post-punk at its finest ladies and gents. Plenty of rock, punk, and experimentation rolled together, with odd vocals to top it off. The vocals are probably the only part I could see people having a problem with, but really, everyone should check this out.

Comment posts so I don't feel so lonely; let me know you are out there!

The Pop Group - Y

Very interesting band. The Pop Group mix funk, dub, and even jazz into their mashed up post-punk sound, and somehow, pull it off. There's something about post-punk bands and experimentation that go so well together, and this is a great example.

Worth checking out if you like music at all.

Can - Tago Mago

What happens when a bunch of Germans, under the influence of Stockhausen and many drugs, start playing rock music?

It comes out all fucked up. And awesome.

Gonjasufi - A Sufi and a Killer

An incredibly diverse release from Gonjasufi on Warp Records, featuring Gaslamp Killer on production duties (and also FlyLo on a couple of tracks).

Psychedelic, lo-fi, electronica, hip-hop, soul... the tags are endless, all (kind of) coming together into a stoned haze of gritty vocals and eclectic production.

How To Dress Well - Love Remains

This shit needs to be heard to be believed. Anyone who was a fan of Burial's 2007 ghostly masterpiece Untrue will find plenty to love here, and even if you don't know who Burial is, it's hard not to succumb to the amazing original music on display here. Best album of 2010? Maybe, and I've only had it for 7 hours.

So you like hip hop?

Yeah sure, I guess.

What about shoegaze, or noise?

Yeah...






... well what about putting them together?



Imagine if cLOUDDEAD was darker, noisier, and actually enjoyable to listen to. Imagine if the experimental production was more like "fuck that's cool" and less like "fuck that's weird". Then imagine this band citing Aaron Turner projects and My Bloody Valentine as major influences, and touring with Isis.



This is dälek.

Baths - Cerulean

the word loose was invented for music like this.

cool as a cucumber.

Hey it's really sunny right now

Sup qwe how are things all the way on the other side of the world treating you? Oh man, it's raining? Aww, that sucks I'm sorry man, hey listen up did you hear Godspeed You! Black Emperor are touring and shit! Hell yeah man, they're touring the UK or something, shit's going to be intense - like seriously, you do not want to miss it. I get the feeling it'll be a completely life-changing experience, I mean who knows how long they're even going to stay around this time? I'm not exactly sure why they've chosen the UK pretty much exclusively, particularly given that they're actually Canadian, but I'm sure as hell not complaining. You know you want to hop over the ocean and come chill with me, right? Anyway here are their tour dates and they're also doing the Nightmare Before Christmas festival thing along with Neurosis (yeah I would kill to go to that too but I'm pretty sure it's all booked out, not that I could afford it anyway).

Lift Your Skinny Fists To Heaven

Blackfilm - Blackfilm

Pessimistic comfort and unholy relation in a post-rock sort of way. Listen up you goons.
