Album of the Day 266: Two Hands by Big Thief

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWYnRLpmjtk&list=OLAK5uy_nUjoC-ciG9NIUdHE7fPpl-litQ9_6D09o&index=1

https://bigthief.bandcamp.com/album/two-hands

2019 indie folk/folk rock album from Brooklyn, New York. "Not" is the real standout of the album, a great folk rock song that builds up to a Neil Young–esque guitar solo. There's still much to like about the rest of the album, but if you only listen to one, that's where I'd point you.

My picks: "Forgotten Eyes," "The Toy," "Not"

i've always found pop covers of metal songs fascinating as they clearly draw out the original creator's intended melody and reveal the pop underpinnings of metal (standard verse-chorus song structures, for example), and The Cardigan's cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath comes close to being one of my favorite renovations.

anything else come to mind?

@buru5 The Cardigans really liked Black Sabbath, and I love their covers.

@buru5 Oh, and how could I forget CAKE's great cover of War Pigs?

@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@buru5 "the greatest covers are such that they sound almost like a different song entirely, befitting the style of the coverer instead of the coveree"

I feel like Todd Terje and Bryan Ferry's cover of Johnny and Mary by Robert Palmer is the greatest example of this.

Original:

Of course, you could throw in Soft Cell's cover of Tainted Love, Manfred Mann's Earth Band's cover of Blinded by the Light, Charles Bradley's cover of Changes, etc.

Album of the Day 265: Zelda & Chill by Mikel

https://mikeljakobi.bandcamp.com/album/zelda-chill

2018 lo-fi instrumental hip-hop album. It's pretty much exactly what it says on the tin: music from the Legend of Zelda series, but as lo-fi hip-hop.

My picks: "Lost Woods," "Legend of Zelda," "Ocarina of Time"

Help me choose the knobs, round 3.

  • small cupcake
  • more white knurled
  • stratty

Which would you pick?

@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@optilude Cupcake. I quite like the design of the knurled one, but the very clean white seems to clash with the pickups and pickguard; in the opposite direction, the stratty knobs are too yellowed to fit in.

Album of the Day 264: O.R.B.O.T. by Simon Viklund

https://simonviklund.bandcamp.com/album/o-r-b-o-t

2016 EDM/house EP from Stockholm, Sweden. 21 minutes of absolutely great music with a bit of a chiptune flavor to it, and some killer guitar on the first two tracks. Apparently at least two of the tracks are remixes of songs originally featured in Payday: The Heist.

My picks: "Hold on Tight," "Nemesis," "Interstellar"

Album of the Day 263: Surface to Air by Zombi

https://zombi.bandcamp.com/album/surface-to-air

2006 space rock/progressive electronic album from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Zombi is a bit of a love letter to Goblin—even the name comes from the Italian release of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, scored by Goblin. Blend in some Rush-influenced drumming and some Tangerine Dream, and you've got this album.

My picks: "Surface to Air," "Night Rhythms"

Album of the Day 262: From This Vantage by The Ascent of Everest

https://theascentofeverest.bandcamp.com/album/from-this-vantage

2010 post-rock album from Nashville, Tennessee. Leans into the chamber music influence harder than most post-rock, with a heavy string presence throughout. Compared to their debut, the band seems to have crafted a more unique sound, although this album does tend to sound a bit too homogeneous for its own good.

My picks: "Return to Us," "Sword and Shield," "From This Vantage"

Album of the Day 261: The Meters by The Meters

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD9lsUjVdUo&list=PLNitVGYNCIxFQNEPMx4hGML8lTD6MupTL&index=1

1969 funk album from New Orleans, Louisiana. Early instrumental funk, kept fairly minimalist—guitar, bass, organ, and drums. Just a bunch of fun little jams.

My picks: "Here Comes the Meter Man," "Cardova," "Stormy"

Album of the Day 260: Older, Wiser, Sadder by Nosferatu D2

https://nosferatud2.bandcamp.com/album/older-wiser-sadder

2015 indie rock/post-punk EP from Croydon, England. A duo of frenetic drums and sharp guitar punctuated with incredibly depressed lyrics, spat out . This EP consists of tracks that were omitted from the only album they put out, and two demos of tracks on that album.

My picks: "The Kids from 'Fame,'" "Don't Try to Wake Me"

Album of the Day 259: Unchosen Paths by goat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8APcGHUVXyQ&list=PLLHeC5H7jP8M9w77ull-XiVnLVPbFc_iv&index=1

https://castlegoat.blogspot.com/p/unchosen-paths-is-guitar-driven-tribute.html

2007 symphonic metal album that covers the complete soundtracks of the first three Castlevania games. goat was active on OCRemix 2002-2007, putting out some great metal covers; he has no modern web presence, but his music is still up.

(YT playlist has 3 songs from OC Remix that aren't on the album.)

My picks: "Scourge of 1691," "Creeping Dusk," "Stained Glass Filth"

Album of the Day 258: Over the Edge by Wipers

https://wipers.bandcamp.com/album/over-the-edge

1983 punk rock/post-punk album from Portland, Oregon. Wipers went from the lengthy art punk of Youth of America to something that's a bit more pop punk, but still just as smartly put together.

My picks: "Over the Edge," "So Young," "The Lonely One"

Godsdamn it, Pittsburgh Modular, if you could stop making badass synths that I feel like I can't live without for a while, that'd be great!

(This is in reference to the new Voltage Lab 2, as well as last year's Taiga, to a lesser degree.)

Especially since they're not cheap 😅

(No shade intended, I KNOW they're actually very cheap for what all they can do, but the raw cost is eye-watering to a indie artist who doesn't make $10's of thousands a year from music making.)

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@etherdiver Can confirm that the Taiga is great!

Wish you hadn't informed me of the Voltage Lab 2, though. It looks fantastic, but I desperately don't need more instruments to not play! 😆

...Or maybe I should buy Opsix Native, sell my Opsix and some other things... 🤣

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE
Diary
2017 U.S. 2xLP Ltd. Ed. Reissue

A monster album for me when I was in high school.
Being a total devotee of all things Sub Pop in the , this one hit me in a way that none of the label’s other releases at the time.

I remember buying it on tape, & it taking me at least a week to get past the first 3 songs, because I kept rewinding it after Song For An Angel and playing those 3 over & over.

Amazing album that still holds up.

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@TheVinylApe First three songs really are the best on the album. The rest of the album's still solid, but I find they all start to kind of blend together after those first few for me.

Album of the Day 257: Monument by Monument

https://monument10.bandcamp.com/album/monument

2017 post-rock/noise rock EP from Lausanne, Switzerland. No, not "Monuments," nor the prog rock band from the UK, nor the doom metal band from Germany, nor the power/death metal band from Oklahoma, nor...

Okay, so there's too many bands named Monument. But this one has one of the guitarists from The Evpatoria Report! Good stuff.

Album of the Day 256: It Doesn't Matter by Saxon Shore

https://saxonshore.bandcamp.com/album/it-doesnt-matter

2009 post-rock album from Los Angeles, California. "This Place" pushes into a shoegaze/dream pop direction with guest vocals from Caroline Lufkin.

My picks: "Nothing Changes," "This Place," "Bar Clearing Good Times"

Album of the Day 255: Kollektiv by Kollektiv

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4YXHLIh6mo

1973 krautrock/jazz-rock album from Germany. Effectively a jazz-rock jam band with psych thrown into the mix. The tracks from the original vinyl release have plenty of great flute playing, swapped out for saxophone in the bonus tracks added for the CD release. The distorted sax sound on "Pap-Jack" is pretty wild.

My picks: "Rambo Zambo," "Gaged," "Pap-Jack"
