The new Creepoid album is one of my favorites of the year. It lurches and creaks forward, but never once gets boring, even when it slows to a crawl. “Dried Out” is about as close to a rocker as the band get on Cemetery Highrise Slum, but their gaze stays firmly planted on their shoes throughout.

Hello, internet stranger! Today is the first day of my new career, which is about close to “dream job” as I can get while working for somebody else. And while I realize I’m just a disembodied voice posting songs on this little blog, I thought you still might like to know I’m quite excited.
To celebrate, I think it’s a great time to share this wonderful project by the French composer Chassol. He created his own audio/video travelogue featuring footage he captured while visiting the Caribbean island of Martinique and piano tracks he overdubbed in studio. The whole thing’s far more enjoyable to watch than it is to explain, so how about you just click play on that there Youtube video I attached to this post?
Of course, the entire thing is better than the sum of it’s parts, so I recommend picking up the DVD from Tricatel.
“Instrumental 4” from an album titled Instrumentals 2015. There shouldn’t be much confusion about what to expect from the new Flying Saucer Attack LP.
Think Ecstatic Vision may have a bit of a Spacemen 3 influence?
I still find myself being surprised when Low, quintessential slowcore vets that they are, can create such an imposing atmosphere with so few ingredients. “No Comprende” is a reminder of how effortless it seems when they make “epic” happen.
I bet this is what The Green Album would’ve sounded like if Pinkerton didn’t get ripped apart by critics, forcing Rivers to spend half a decade attempting to find his happy place.
I get it: it’s Monday, you’ve still got about four hours left before you can go home, and you’re currently daydreaming about reenacting that Office Space scene where they drive the printer out to the middle of a field and put it out of its misery. Well, I can’t magically turn the clock forward to 5:00, but I can try to ease your troubled mind a bit for the next half hour or so. Just let this new Four Tet release play in the background, take a few deep breaths, and remind yourself that you’re already 1/10th of the way through your work week. It’s basically over already!
I wanted to play this on the show, but there’s a pesky “shit” snuck in mid-song…. So off to the blog it goes!
