L’Orange—The Mad Writer (2012)
I was expecting something a lot more off the wall based on the "description" of this album I got from Exo, but this album turned out instead to sound like a mix of 90s Tribe Called Quest/Digable Planets jazzy hip hop with an MF Doom aesthetic. Seems good though, I could see it turning out to be a grower.

^ Planning on checking that one out. From everything I've read it makes me think of Wax Tailor's debut, with more of a Doom/Madlib aesthetic.

Musik aus dem Schattenreich by Nekropolis

the soundtrack to your nightmares. how about "ghost ambient". at times its almost funky, but that just makes it even more ghastly. like walking into a room where a bass guitar is just playing itself.

and after that im moving to this by the same dude

Through Time and Mystery - Ending by Peter Frohmader

and this one is much more strange. theres like rag time on an organ at some point ffs, mixed with a lot of other weird and wonderful sounds like marching drums and horns and laughing and clocks and on and on. just a sonic clusterfuck its impossible to describe. hes brilliant, if not deeply disturbed; cant say enough good things about this guy.

yall need more peter frohmader in your lives that's for true

Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld - Never Were the Way She Was

Just downloaded, about to listen to this for the first time. I have high hopes since Stetson is usually pretty great.

You're maturing into a fine young hipster boy.

Those are some damn good albums there.

Crywank - Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday and Everyday Is Stupid

Somehow this album fell through the cracks for me in 2013. I'm excited to listen to it. One of my favorite bands for sure.

Mitch The Champ - Sings Madeline Ava

Madeline Ava is one of my favorite singers, this was a free cover album, Mitch The Champ is rad on his own accord. I'm happy.

Nai Harvest - Hairball

They have definitely made a sound change over the past few years, but I think it's for the better. A lot of 90s influence on this record.

Shepherd - Stereolithic Riffalocalypse (2015)

Sludge rock goodness by perhaps the first Indian exponents of the genre that I have seen.

Mick Jagger Wandering spirit (1993).

Edit: Outstanding job, including rock, soul , folk and country . No bore. Producer Rick Rubin.

Perfume Advert - Tulpa (2013)
First time I've listened to a release tagged "Outsider House". It's basically a style of house in opposition to the commercialization of Deep House, but also intentionally low-fi and gritty. Anytime I've read that description I just think of Garage House, which was my favorite style during the days I listened to a lot of dance music. Also gritty and rough, but characterized by disco, soul, and gospel vocals. This particular release is very mellow, as was some of the great underground garage and deep house I used to listen to. It's also part Tech House, and is all instrumental aside from the occasional vocal snippet used more as a sound effect than anything. I'm thinking Outsider House is just a new term to separate good underground house from commercialized house. For the introspective ones at the club - who'd rather stare at the crowd and lights, letting the music consume them instead of being the center of attention surrounded by friends and strangers on the dance floor. Sitting on the sofa in the back (aka "chill") room.

Drug Cabin - Yard Work (2015)
Recent project from Ambulance LTD singer/songwriter, this being their second release but the first I've heard. Is it good? Yes, though it's more subtle and simple in sound compared to Ambulance LTD's sound. More Indie Pop I'd say. Worth checking out if you really like Ambulance LTD.

L'Orange & Jeremiah Jae - The Night Took Us In Like Family (2015)
I mentioned this one in the Albums You're Digging thread yesterday - before a complete listen was over I was calling it one of the best new hip-hop albums I've heard in some time. Great beats, great rhymes, awesome use of vocal samples, and minimal use of derogatory terms. The production and sample usage reminds me of MF Doom, Madlib, as well as some of the more hip-hop oriented work released by Ninja Tunes like DJ Vadim, Sixtoo, and also Wax Tailor - all artists I enjoy. Never heard of the MC but his delivery was smooth and blended perfectly with the production.

Prefuse 73 - Forsyth Garden [EP] (2015)
The first of 3 new Prefuse 73 releases coming out this spring/summer, and the first new release in 4 years. I'm just reading an article/interview with him on FACT Mag, where I learned that Warp Records dropped him sometime after his last album, 2011's The Only She Chapters - which I admittedly did not like. I knew 11-year relationship had ended but wasn't sure if he'd left or been dropped. Maybe his contract ended and the label decided not to renew. Regardless, it was a shock to him and he's now back on Temporary Residence, home and ex-home artists like Explosions in the Sky, Maserati, Three Mile Pilot, The Black Heart Procession, Rob Crow, Sleeping People, etc. I'm liking the sound of this one, it's more in line with what I expect from P73 as opposed to what The Only She Chapters was. It's hard for me to imagine that Warp would drop him based on the one album though.

Country Teasers - Satan Is Real Again or Feeling Good About Bad Thoughts (1996)
Real good drunken crass cowpunk. I've listened to and enjoyed a few others, and for some reason held off on this one even though I downloaded it like 6 months ago. Quality.
