Khruangbin - Mordechai
Journeying into Afro Cuban music - all other recommendations welcome!
Afro Cuban All Stars - A Toda Cuba le Gusta
Colombia! The Golden Age of Discos Fuentes
Mostly Big Black Delta’s new album, 4.
I love it, Jonathan brings more rock influences (who else here loved Mellowdrone?) to this project to complement the synth pop anthems and soundscapes. Only gripe I have with it is that the mixing is super rough at spots, but frol what I gather he did it himself.
Mostly, a bunch o' jazz.
On Youtube, a lot of Tim Lerch and some Julian Lage. Two great guitarists putting out really good solo guitar takes on tunes.
LITE
Japanese instrumental math/prog rock, very cerebral and pretty.
Shellac - At Action Park
Also very cerebral, beautiful in it's own way. Steve Albini is one of a kind.
You could not possibly go wrong with anything by either group.
Over the past little bit I've been in a phase of listening to some of my favorite albums from high school.
Queens of the Stone Age's self titled, Mastodon's Crack the Skye, Gojira's Terra Incognita, and some others. I think I've been putting too much pressure on myself to keep listening to new stuff all the time, and coming back to all of these things that mean a lot to me has done me some good.
I've been getting a lot more into Gotye recently. A deeper look into his discography that isn't just "Somebody I Used To Know" revealed some really great stuff. The entirety of Like Drawing Blood is masterful, it's just like nothing I've ever heard before. If you're a little bored of the music you're listening to now I'd 100% recommend listening to Like Drawing Blood, at the very least it will be a weird ride.
