Collecting the music / @topfife

[radiofifelife]

A collection of music that was released in 2017, that I have enjoyed in 2017. It's not a 'best of' the year, more representative of the week of 18.12.17 when it was collated. It starts with Mount Eerie - you can skip that - the rest is liminal, droning, organic and terse. There are moments of beauty.

Mount Eerie - Seaweed

Alessandro Cortini - Perdere

Johnny Jewel - Between Worlds

Perfume Genius - Choir

Croation Amor - Breathe Into Me

Joan of Arc - This Must Be The Placenta

Martin Glass - Reach The Beach

Valgeir Sigur∂sson - No Nights Dark Enough II. Infamy Sings

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Who I Am & Why I Am Where I Am

Alex Cameron - Marlon Brando

Loke Rahbek, Frederik Valentin - You Come With

Dean Hurley - Forest / Interior

Sarah Davachi - For Organ

Damien Dubrovnik - Arrow 5

Xiu Xiu - Wondering

William Eggleston - Untitled Improvisation DCC 04.33.3

Loke Rahbek - In Piles Of Magazines

Protomartyr - The Chuckler

Pharmakon - Transmission

Angelo Badalamenti - Heartbreaking

Anthology Resource Vol. 1: △△, an album by Dean Hurley on Spotify

Dean Hurley, part of the sound design team on Twin Peaks: The Return, just delivered this parcel of indicentals on Sacred Bones.

Crank and get spooked.

I would like a white wine spritzer and to sit in the sun with Seaside Lovers

Yellow Magic Orchestra - Yellow Magic Orchestra That sound of videogames to be invented

[radiofifelife]

Quiet, intimate BPB.

[radiofifelife]

Delightful.

In 1984 Muji commissioned Haruomi Hosono to compose in-store background music.

Meandering, pleasant documentary about one of my favourite bands. There's a lot truth in here about loving, not liking, JoA - realising that these sounds articulate things you can't quite articulate or explain what you're looking to articulate.

Can't get enough of this album. Ata Kak is a boss man.

More beautiful production from Japan.

I want more of these sounds in my life.

[radiofifelife]

Two hours of music that makes up many 'favourite sounds of 2016' - lots of theatrical confessionals, synthesisers, women and silly words.

[radiofifelife]

Melvins. Carol Of The Bells. Intense.

[radiofifelife]

Minimal, synth confessionals.

Missed this when it was released in May. Pita is one of my favourites from the late '90s/early '00s computer noise scene. Get In is up there.
