As I noted in the Albums of the Year thread, I have eighteen albums to review and order into a Top Ten by the end of the month. Tonight:

Rival Consoles - Overflow
Moody, atmospheric, glitchy electronica. Almost certainly Top Ten material.

IDLES - Crawler
Brooding, visceral, boundary-pushing, makes me want to have a fight with a lamppost. A huge contender for the Number One spot.

I was convinced these fellers are Australian. They sound Australian. They're Australian surely?

For admirers of The Go-betweens, Rolling Blackouts, Eddy Current......




They're Canadian.

A Winged Victory For The Sullen - Invisible Cities

I bought AWVFTS's album ATOMOS in 2014, and can barely remember anything about it. Unfortunately the same can be said about Invisible Cities, although I only finished listening to it a few minutes ago.

It's an album that favours orchestral/electronic textures over melodies, and there's not enough progression for my liking. I know there are some big fans on here, but I'm afraid it's not for me.

It might just not be your thing sbh, but the beauty of those records to me is the way they get under your skin gradually, after multiple listens.

Right now though:

You're probably right. Unfortunately I still have 15 more albums to listen to before the end of the month so I can compile a Top Ten, so multiple listens are pretty much out of the question!

Squid - Bright Green Field

The debut album from the darlings of BBC 6 Music. Lazily funky indie rock; not especially ground-breaking, but it presses all the right buttons and I love it.

Listening to Leonard Cohen's Live in London again. I'll be damned if it's not the absolute best live recording I've ever heard by a country mile.

Tonight:

Mastodon - Hushed and Grim

Not my usual thing at all, but I was in the pub a few weeks ago when my mate was telling anyone who would listen that it was International Metal Day, resulting in the landlord putting Mastodon on the jukebox, and it wasn't bad at all, so I decided to give their latest album a listen.

It's much more tuneful and diverse than I expected, there are even strings on the last track. I enjoyed it a lot, and even though I still can't tell my sludge from my stoner metal, it has an outside chance of making my year end Top Ten.

Gary Numan - Intruder

Has anyone got a better back catalogue of electronic doom and gloom than Gary Numan? Betrayal and regret seem to be the overriding themes here, mainly, I believe, on behalf of planet Earth and the environmental mess we have created. Musically it's superb, unsettlingly pointing a finger at the listener and saying "you ****ed up the planet. Yes, YOU".

Edit: Bonus album....

Bicep - Isles

Bicep seem to have a talent for releasing tunes that could have been huge in 1992: Glue, Atlas, Apricots etc. So in a way their latest album seems like an Oasis album for the trance scene, all happy nostalgia. But there is something new about it; I'm not sure what, but something...
