It seems there hasn't been much discussion of new music/artists since LWR left us but I'm sure some of you are listening to new stuff. So what did you hear in 2016 that was memorable? I have to admit I didn't get much new music but highlights would have to be: Case,Lang, Veirs. Great voices and a quality recording. I've played that a bunch. Nada Surf- You Know Who You Are. Good followup to their last album in 2012 Other than that, I have been listening to a fair amount of Jazz, but nothing released in 16. |

Provocatively on the cutting edge, that does sound like me :) Not! Hey, good to see you around, been quite awhile. It has been a good time in the last couple years for music I like, lots of cool new discoveries, so much interesting music happening all over the world now. Fun to explore. Looks like 7 artists out of that top 10 were completely new to me this last year, but there were a lot of other good records put out by more well known artists too, I just have a tendency to favor the slightly more obscure ones, and most of us only have time for a tiny fraction of what we'd like to hear anyway. Let me know if you'd like some more info on something, I've probably blabbered on about most of them quite a lot, though I haven't been posting much around here. Or maybe stop by SHMF, there's a lot of music talk there. Below is the closer from that great Lake Ruth record, not sure if you are a fan of Broadcast and all their influences, but Lake Ruth is very similar, not quite as much of the fractured electronics as Broadcast, so not quite as lovably weird, but their Actual Entity debut is pretty fun stuff ...
PIPE'S NOT DEAD ! is a dreampop/darkwave/shoegaze audio-visual project of Massimiliano Nardulli(Bucharest, Romania)and Gabriele Saffioti(Berlin, Germany). We love to create atmospheres and sounds that can be the soundtracks for a cinematic approach of the music, We like to call our music SOUNDGAZE. And that Pure Morning song is really nice too, they are a Mexican shoegaze band (or I think they call it tweegaze, but this one isn't too twee sounding). Below is the link and tracklist, name your price means you can download for free if you like too ... Violet Dream Pop Compilation |
