Found my obsessions for the year.

Holy shit this Norwegian jazz trip is leading me to some of the best music I've ever heard in my life.

This dude is German, but plays a lot with the Norwegians.
New Liars on the horizon. Lead single dropped. Can't wait.

I am so glad I discovered this group of musicians. Absolutely mind blowing.

This rhythm section is amazing.

There are songs as good, but not better than this.

An ode to '70s style jazz. Could see this being very enjoyable and mellow...

I've never liked Pharrell, but this is such a unique sound it's hard not to like. The other bits of the album I heard did nothing for me. So, I still don't like Pharrell but this song is cool.
The War on Drugs.
So good. Very early in 2014, but this should be a contender for AOTY come December.Quote:

This has been getting a lot of play from me lately. Only The War on Drugs's newest rivals it. The layers of melody and variation of musical styles is what most impresses me. And that moment at 2:00 in is just grin-inducing. Combines the craft and dedication of Agalloch with a focus on post-rock, black metal, instrumental, ambient, and so many other soundscapes. Absolutely bonkers and wonderful for that.
I was wondering what Howard Dean's been up to. ;)Quote:

Yeah, this one doesn't bury the vocals the way something like Woods of Desolation did. That said, there's enough musical talent on display (especially the last two tracks, or track six) that I think it still affirms its quality to those who can't acclimate to black metal shrieks. It reminds me of Ocean's Pelagial, which was released in a double vocal and vocal-less edition so that those who didn't appreciate metal vocals could still groove to the music.Quote:

Love when a new Pharaoh Monche sneaks up on me. This shit is really good, y'all.
Nice. Didn't even know about it. He was from Main Source, right?Quote:
