It's really good. Somewhat inconsistent, but the high points are as good as any he has ever recorded.
If you enjoy the first track, check out Zola Jesus who is featured on it if you haven't already. She's much more darkwave-y with a lot of gothic touches than M83, but still keeps that same synth pop/dreamy aesthetic.

I really want to find his AC/DC covers very soon. My friends on RYM keep proclaiming its amazing re-invention. I have to hear this, as I hate that band.
It's pretty good. Not a huge fan of the songs because they don't have Kozelek's lyrics, but he's a master of making a cover his own. The best ones I think are on the Red House Painter's album Songs for a Blue Guitar.Quoting Glass Co. (view post)

Thanks, D. I've loved all the Monster Rally links that you've posted. Lots of different influences from sources that I adore. A can't miss proposition!Lounge, surf music comprised of loops and samples; or if the Beach Boys had an MPC2000.
"We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."
They've got a brand new remix comp out as well - pretty good. More polished and electronic sounding, with some hip hop thrown in. It lacks a bit of the unique character of the originals, but still worth a listen.
The first disc is awesome, the second is much more hit-or-miss. It's definitely EPIC - you've got that right.
Yeah - I agree. There are a few cool tracks on D2, but D1 is awesome.The first disc is awesome, the second is much more hit-or-miss. It's definitely EPIC - you've got that right.
Thanks to you, one of my favorite artists, ever. (gad, more rep??)I dare you to listen without smiling

Yeah great rec, Davis. Listening to it right now and it's making me seriously nostalgic for the simple little fun moments of life. I'm gonna put it on my iPod and listen to it the next time I go on a swing set.
Wow! This album is just about all I've been listening to the past couple of weeks. A masterpiece. And since it got a 2011 release date in the US, it'll be making my best of for this year.

The black Nick Drake.
I'm gonna un-break the link and assume Terry Callier will appear in this post.
EDIT:ritch:
Anyone else obsessed with this?

I am surprised by how good it is. Perry looks really good, too.
Yep.
Been drinking for two nights in a row. Consequently, Slowdive's Souvlaki has been getting a lot of play. Love this album very much. It's the dreamiest.

Good album. My second favorite from them, after Pygmalion.
Yeah, it's great, especially for when you're feeling a bit isolated. I still prefer the noisier shoegaze overall, but when in the right mood nothing is better. I mostly save it for winter. Loveless in the summer, Souvlaki in the winter.
I prefer Souvlaki, but I will say that Pygmalion is much more unique. I've never heard another album that sounds anything like it.
Rutti is my favorite Slowdive Song.
Spinner is streaming the whole Smile Sessions double LP. This is the music that plays in heaven.
