I love this album, but think it's awful that they released a limited RSD £50 one before quietly releasing a £35 reissue a couple of months later. Glad I waited. Sounds great though, good Sunday evening record. #vinyl#sigurrós#nowplaying
What album released so far this year do you have on repeat? Share if you would! Top ten, top five, top three, just one, whatever!
One of the very few things I miss about FB was my semi-regular posts inviting friends and acquaintances to share what they were listening to. I've been turned on to music I otherwise would've missed so I'll try it out here and see what y'all are listening to!
My faves this year have been, in no particular order:
Ric Wilson - Clusterfunk
Carly Rae Jepsen - The Loveliest Time
Caroline Polachek - Desire I Want To Turn Into You
Lydia Loveless - Nothing's Gonna Stand In My Way Again
@heathen Ooo, I love these sort of posts! I keep a list throughout the year for potential Albums of the Year, and I already have 33 albums on there (!). But going through it, I just realized there's only a select few I still actually have on repeat:
I got a little sick of Sigur Rós when their music was on every "epic" advert - cars driving through waves, slow motion shots of rugby players diving after Heineken beers, buses gliding through beautiful clean cities with no drivers clogging the bus lanes, etc. But the new album ÁTTA is beautiful #music#sigurRos
Queens of the Stone Age, Sigur Rós and Bettye LaVette have albums out this week. Here's what the editors at Pitchfork have to say about them and other new releases.
#GreatAlbums1990s – #SigurRos - #AgaetisByrjun (1999). Sung in Icelandic and Vonlenska (the group’s own made-up language) SR’s breakthrough disc combines dreampop, classical, jazz and ambient gestures in music that thrills and haunts the more you repeat. Birgisson’s Bjork-on-downers voice is a beguiling instrument that lures the listener with its Nordic lament and childlike innocence. A post-rock symphonic journey like no other. #Albums, #Music, #Reviews, #1990s, #PostRock, #GreatWorldAlbums
