omgomgomg...

ok- I doubt anybody else will like this, but a Swedish "supergroup" has put out a handful of singles/EPs starting in 2013, IIRC- Amason. Their song, Algen, has been one of my favorite tunes from the last two years... for reasons I really can't explain (most definitely not garagey/post-punk).

they have put out an actual album called Sky City. I'm partway through the first song... . the first song is Algen though.

I miss the old "Hoofmix, best of 20XX" downloads...

I haven't downloaded a thing since spotify.

I'm way down from my obsessive peak. I mostly just download leaks of stuff that I can't wait for or things that I doubt will ever make it to Spotify. I haven't found a good search/aggregator site since Munju went down though.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I check out a couple of the 2015 song playlists I have seen posted.

Daffodils is ####in' awesome!!

I still make "hoof" mixes on my own, but yeah on spotify..

Mark Ronson track

Is that one of the ones with Kevin Parker?

On a related note, the new album by Pond left me kind of meh. Pond used to have a bunch of cross-pollination with Tame Impala. Their new album has a bunch of long meandering psychedelic jams without enough hooks for me.

I loved their first one but disliked their last one so much I haven't listened to the new one.

I got rock mixes! Going back to the 60's. My profile's a total mess. I don't solicit input anymore but I know what everybody's listening to and this place helps.

Pretty pumped for the new Drenge, I like those kids and the single rocks

[Ilov80s]

Ronson album is dope. Mystikal does a killer James Brown. We gonna rock this mutha_____ .

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Nite Fields - Depersonalisation is good.

Nothing groundbreaking but if you're a fan of the JAMC/Church/Chameleons sound you'll probably enjoy it.

 

[wazoo11]

Mikal Cronin's new single

So, so awesome. Think I'm starting to like him more than Ty Segall.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I'm enjoying Lupe Fiasco's new one, Tetsuo & Youth. I'll always be a Lupe fan though, so take that FWIW.

 

[Workhorse]

Really digging this single by Houndstooth, "No News From Home": https://soundcloud.com/noquarterrex/no-news-from-home-by-houndstooth-1/

Full length album is coming out later this year.

 

[Run It Up]

A second song was released a few days ago from the upcoming new Modest Mouse album. Link to song and video "Coyotes".

Nice ballad reminding me of the Ugly Cassanova stuff. Both released songs have been about man destroying the environment -- a theme not foreign to Modest Mouse and I suspect a theme used throughout the album.

I can't wait until March 3. From these first two songs, I think this album is going to be fantastic.

Their third single The Best Room has me convinced this album is gonna be up there with their better ones.

Been listening to Lampshades on Fire and The Best Room daily, both are great - not a huge fan of Coyotes, but its pretty good.

 

[Northern Voice]

I have an iPod playlist every year of my favourite songs of the year. Was going to spotify it up this year, but like 6 of the first 15 or so songs weren't on spotify (yet?)

 

[jpeace121]

Rest of the month has some of my most anticipated releases of the year:

badbadnotgood/Ghostface Killah - Stone Sour

Spectres - Dying

Torche - Restarter

Elder - Lore

 

[El Floppo]

I think Erase Erata's Lost Weekend came out this year.

I like it- a bit of a more guitary rocking, full-band Le tigre indie-post-punkey thing.

 

[El Floppo]

I used to listen to a lot of Aphex Twin and it's ilk during my bleep-bloop early 90s gradschool years. Really haven't listened to that stuff at all in a decade plus, but...

the new Aphex Twin is really good. Sounds far less artificial- more or all real instruments/sounds (at least it sounds that way).

 

[KarmaPolice]

Listened to a few times the last couple days, and am really digging:

J.D. McPherson - Let the Good Times Roll

It's all Over But the Shouting

Head Over Heels

Shy Boy

 

[KarmaPolice]

A few more I have listened to and liked this last week:

Pinkshinyultrablast - Everything Else Matters

Mourn - Mourn

The Dodos - Individ

 

[El Floppo]

The Dodos - Individ

I'm at a point where every Dodos album sounds exactly the same. I loved their first one for what seemed like a bit of a distinctive sound... and I still like them (including this album), but not much progress from them.

and i am so far behind on music that most of the stuff you guys are tired of i am just starting to listen to.

 

[Northern Voice]

Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian at Best is the best song of the year so far IMO.

 

[skol asylum]

Courtney Barnett -

She's no Courtney Love.

Really good track. I like Torres – Strange Hellos more though.

Loving Picture You by the Amazing.

Been listening to this for a couple days, I was blown away when I first heard it, sounds like all of their different sounds all at once creating something similar but different.

 

[skycriesmary]

Tanya Tagaq 'Animism' She channels a bit of Bjork, with an emphasis with throat singing. Backed by earthy/david lynch beats.

Amazing album, and story behind her work. She just beat out Arcade Fire, and a host of others for the Polaris prize.

 

[El Floppo]

Doing taxes and digging on:

Grooms - Comb the Feelings Through Your Hair

yeah- some good stuff on that.

I've been opening Pitchfork's reviews on Spotify every week or so and just going through the ones that sound in the right wheelhouse for me, regardless of their rating score.

Grooms, Pond, A Place to Bury Strangers, Mourn... I've put something from each into my 2015 folder.

Was listening to A Place to Bury Strangers today too.

very good tune!

Every member of Mourn is younger than my youngest child

 

[Northern Voice]

My 2015 playlist - I followed a few people I remember as FBGs as well, I have a proper account now that it's been launched in Canada.

kupcho - can I suggest the 2015 playlists in post 1 of this thread?
