What Are You Listening To?

I like the live version of Straight to Hell better than Combat Rock's.

[animal collective - "strawberry jam"]

can someone please slap me for not listening to this entire album until now?

it's fucking incredible, totally builds on their last couple of albums … i never expected to like another animal collective album as much as i did panda bear's last solo LP, but this is right up there
Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling


Me likey.


A lot.
Elephant Micah - Exiled Magicians


Decent alt-country.

Russian Circles - Station


Post-rock with metal leanings similar to Pelican but not as anthemic or heavy. Very good if you're into that sort of thing.

Edit: second half of the album got a little more anthemic and less metal resulting in a slightly more EITS-ish sound.
Horse Feathers - House With No Home


Iron and Wine and Bon Iver fans would probably like this.
Bitcrush - Epilogue In Waves


Jaguar, I can see this ending up as one of your favorite albums of the year.


Post-rocky shoegaze or shoegazy post-rock; kind of similar to Alcest.
Oren Ambarchi - In The Pendulum's Embrace


How'd I miss this until now? Came out last year.


Drone-doom similar to that of the new incarnation of Earth but darker and more minimal.

its the same old mogwai..nothing really new here. its alright.
I dunno…I didn't hear much of that post-rock formula that's been beaten to death by hundreds of bands including them on there at all.

Thought it sounded fresher.
Kyte - Kyte


Not exactly my bag but I'm surprised I haven't seen this band talked up on here before.

Couple things I'm enjoying lately:

Dirty on Purpose "Hallelujah Sirens" - Kind of shoe-gazey epic pop. Reminds me of Cedars.

Truckasaurus "Tea Parties, Guns and Valor" - Kitschy electronica made entirely with computers and games from the 1980s. Seemed too rinky-dink at first but it's pretty catchy.

annnnnd….

the new Metallica album - there are a lot of things I don't like about it, but… I do like it overall and I'm glad that they've returned to the epic jams with multiple guitar solos. James Hetfield continues his fucking awful singing style from the 90s, with a "-YAH!" added to the end of every goddamn line. But other than that, it's solid and is growing on me after 4-5 spins.

This is one of my favorite albums to listen to during the fall. Try listening to this while driving down the B/W Parkway when the leaves are changing and the temperature is a pleasant 60 degrees. It's pretty awesome.
