Celestaphone - Paper Cut From the Obit
Insanely good cut-up abstract jazz rap.
Release date: 2023-02-17
[8.8/10]
Richard Skelton - selenodesy
It’s kind of like GAS’s more orchestral moments with Ben Frost-esque ambience. Dope stuff.
Release date: 2023-03-31
[8.5/10]
Midwife, Vyva Melinkolya - Orbweaving
Sadcore. I still think their best album is Forever, but this is also quite nice.
Release date: 2023-05-12
[8.3/10]
The Space Lady - The Space Lady’s Greatest Hits
Cosmic psychedelic outsider pop. To call this “outsider music” does not really do it justice, it’s like calling off Stereolab as alt-rock and just leave it at that. The lady’s story behind her oeuvre is also very fascinating.
Release date: 2013-11-18
[8.3/10]
Colorlist - Full Circle
Modern jazz / electronic. FFO of Tortoise. I enjoy this very much. The track Kink in the Line has some really sick drums.
Release date: 2018-11-09
[8.3/10]
Marissa Nadler - The Path of the Clouds
Dream-pop + gothic country… Dream-country?
Release date: 2021-10-29
[8.2/10]
Ital Tek - Timeproof
Introspective, dark techno music. I like it.
Release date: 2023-04-21
[8.2/10]
billy woods, Kenny Segal - Maps
Another banger from these two.
Release date: 2023-05-05
[8.1/10]
Blind Girls - Residue
Violent screamo record. Quick and on point.
Release date: 2018-11-13
[8.1/10]
Earth - Even Hell has its Heroes (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Earth is one of those super rare bands whose discography is so consistently awesome.
Release date: 2023-01-01
[8.0/10]
CS + Kreme - Orange
Jazz-noir + techno. I thought I didn’t like it when I listened to it numerous times absentmindedly at work, but when I really did listen to it it’s actually a banger.
Release date: 2023-02-02
[8.0/10]
100 gecs - 10000 gecs
Why this can be so corny yet so much fun at the same time is beyond me…
Release date: 2023-03-17
[7.9/10]
Kassem Mosse - Workshop 32
I think abstract house is probably the right term to describe this one. It’s pretty good.
Release date: 2023-02-10
[7.8/10]
Rina Sawayama - Hold The Girl
This is probably her most accessible album to date.
Release date: 2022-09-16
[7.8/10]
mudy on the 昨晚 - An Instrumental
My favorite Japanese math rock released a new album after a hiatus of who knows how long. The louder songs still kick a lot of ass.
Release date: 2023-04-28
[7.8/10]
Black Math Horseman - Black Math Horseman
I wasn’t expecting this to be more metal than doom… it’s pretty good, hopefully they keep it going and tour a bit. I’d definitely go see.
Release date: 2022-10-21
[7.5/10]
Christoph De Babalon - Leaving Time
This is tamer than his last several releases.
Release date: 2021-01-11
[7.3/10]
Hauschka, Hildur Guonadottir - Pan Tone
Modern classical / chamber post-rock.
Release date: 2011-09-23
[7.1/10]
Flume - Things Don’t Always Go The Way You Plan
Hyperpop. I actually don’t dislike it, but it’s not one of those spectacular albums that I’d go back to from time to time. People are criticizing it for being inconsistent, but I find it to be miles ahead of a bunch of K-pop and contemporary Taiwanese pop albums in terms of overall production quality. Maybe it’s all a matter of comparison? But then it does pale in comparison to Arrived Anxious, Left Bored.
Release date: 2023-02-08
[7.0/10]
Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You
Pop. I still don’t get why people are so into her… to me it’s quite mediocre.
Release date: 2023-02-14
[5.5/10]
Portrayal of Guilt - Devil Music
It’s as meh as it can be. The last chamber music suite is just… strange in a bad way.
Release date: 2023-04-20
[4.8/10]
