Albums of the Year 2015 - Long List | First Cut | Second Cut

First draft / Long list of my albums of the year 2014. Had to cut this dont o about 70 for the Louder Than War albums of the year list so the ones in bold made it to through the first cut and the ones with "**********" after them made it through they second. There are 73 of them. 

Oh, and it's no not just a massive coincidence that the a's are all at the top and the xyzs are at the bottom, it's because this list is alphabetically not numerically ordered with fave at top / least fave at bottom.

NEW MXLX EP - Palazzo Di Sole, release coinciding with the new Fairhorns EP, a counterbalance of sorts… two longform sprawling slow-burn noise/ambient glorydays hymns. Limited to 100 Glassmaster CDs And why not? Thus concludes the first actions of 2014 for Kinda Rad! Industries. Check back in the spring for MORE AKTION: Palazzo Di Sole by MXLX

Bitchin' good grooves from his nibs, aka MXLX. Suck it 'ard n see.

Great stuff this - new track by White Suns called "Priest in the Laboratory". It's going to be on their new album 'Totem', which comes out on March 18th.

On this new album, White Suns' signature onslaught is tempered by deadened stares and slow-burn instrumentals.  Renowned recording engineer Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans, Foetus) provided documentation of the performance in his labyrinthine BC Studio compound.  Totem is rock music realizing its obsolescence; the work of a band compelled to mutate.

Killer bluesy DIY garage rock from the Baltimore regain of the us of a.
