BEST OF ’22:

ALBUMS_of_the_YEAR…

‘GOD GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE’ was the latest LP from COLD GAWD & it found the Rancho Cucamonga-based project carving out their own niche w/in the nascent NeoGaze scene by bringing all kinds of melancholic haze across 8 tracks that seamlessly blended decades worth of guitar-driven & pedal_gazing genres under one dreamy AltRawk umbrella.

The stoic NYC-based institution known as INTERPOL used their time in the clampdown to get mad productive & did so in a “counterbalancing” way as their latest LP titled ‘THE OTHER SIDE OF MAKE BELIEVE’ found them homing in on the details, earnestness & embracing their sense of minimalist space courtesy of Flood/Molder’s on point production.

There was a palpable melancholy running throughout KNIFEPLAY’s latest LP titled ‘ANIMAL DROWNING’ & it’s a continuously deep feeling that persisted throughout a 10-track spread that reveled in their acute ability to marry many-a-guitar-driven genre, ranging from ShoeGaze, SlowCore & SoftGrunge under one wearily grandiose DreamPop umbrella.

KURT VILE is a fucking vibe… Call it timing, mood or perspective but no KV album has ever hit me THIS hard, whilst I’ve always been a fan ‘(watch my moves)’ had a profound effect on your boy & found the Philly-based artist deploying that acute ability to package those charmingly slackerish AltRocking odes that combined Classic/College/Psych ROCK under one universally lauded umbrella.

‘UNDERNEATH, BESIDE ME’ was the debut album from LESSER CARE & it found the West Texan trio homing in on a vibe/sound, one which nodded to the past w/out fixating on the revivalist rearview as they set their sights beyond “post-punk” when it came to their sonic spaces & business practice as the former seen them apply their own stamp in the gothic sounds of yore across 9 moody & bodied-up offerings.

Crate Digger’s Corner: 2017 albums, part 7

Crate Digger’s Corner…by DJ Musically Rich

Here is the seventh part to my 2017 list. For those that missed the earlier parts (and haven’t taken a look at them yet), I’m giving a quick list of albums that I heard from 2017 7-10 albums at a time. There will be a few more parts to the list over the coming weeks. I may do a listening to some of the ones that I know I like, but want to revisit, and use that as an opportunity to review some of those more deeply (If there are any you see that you would particularly like to see a review of, leave a note). This list does not include reissues, live material or compilations.

Artist- Album (general genre)- and brief description

Motorpsycho- The Tower (hard rock)- The long-running Norwegian rock band continues the avenue they have been mining the past decade with a double LP filled with killer guitar work, an amazing drummer and a bass player that just lays down rock solid grooves. Get ready for plenty of musical fireworks on this one.

Robert Plant- Carry Fire (rock)- Plant continues with his Space Shifter band and continues to look at late night rock with doses of Middle Eastern vibes intermixed.

Courtney Barnett/Kurt Vile- Lotta Sea Lice (alt rock)- This is a lazy, rainy afternoon album. It has a few cuts that really standout, but unfortunately about half of the songs just sort of float in the haze without going anywhere.

Tony Allen- The Source (jazz)- Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti’s drummer delivers a jazz album that has very good playing and hints of his afrobeat background littered throughout the music.

Wu Tang Clan- The Saga Continues (rap)-Wu Tang Clan release another fairly average album that begins to feel more like a lot of individual tracks from the individual members rather than a true group effort.

Alex Cline’s Flower Garland Orchestra- Oceans Of Vows (modern classical/avant-garde jazz)- Alex Cline put together a 13 person orchestra (plus a conductor and some pre-recorded voices) that includes Jeff Gauthier (electric violin), Nels Cline (electric guitar), G.E. Stinson (electric guitar), Yuka C. Honda (electric keyboards, samples) and Scott Walton (bass, keyboard). The album covers a wide range of material across the 2 CDs and includes influences as varied as Stereolab, DeBussy, minimalism, Mahavishnu Orchestra as well as many others. This is a must listen for any adventurous music listener.

 Here are 6 albums I heard from 2017, there will be more from this list coming in the future, and this isn’t necessarily a ranking, just in the order that I was writing them down. I hope you enjoy and happy hunting!

I got more I got no need I got nothing I could leave I got things that you should see I went riding all around Hit the pass, I built this sound Tried to picture it going down Come on wait for me, is it done? Come on wait for me, is it done? Come on wait for me, is it done? Come on wait for me, is it done? Felt a pull I pulled away We got nothing that I'll say Still I feel it's not this way Waiting nothing's going down Can't seem to get it off the ground Seeing if I'll come around Come on wait for me, is it done?

Come on wait for me, is it done? Come on wait for me, is it done? Come on wait for me, is it done?
