These chicks are pissed, and they want everyone to know it.

T-Ride - self titled (1992)

A record very much of its time and yet beyond it simultaneously. Think Def Leppard with the vitality of 80's/90's Faith No More coalesced into the delicious theatricality of classic Queen.

Bloody, knuckle-breaking brilliance this is. Nab it if you can.

35007's Liquid. Space rock. No vocals. Just jams. Very rhythmic and heavy at times, definitely my favorite space rock album so far

The Fall - The Complete Peel Sessions

I will have listened to all of this by the end of the day.

The albums I have chosen to inter-cut the volumes are as follows:

It will have been a great day.

Ah wow, this band has done and is capable of some amazing things, and I'm glad this snuck up on me this year. Between this and Shaking the Habitual, it's a great year for weird, dark and meandering albums.

Ah this is such a perfect step to take after Hidden. Good god.

I've been looking forward to this since hearing the really promising new track "Fragment Two" a few weeks ago.

Suuns - Images du futur (2013)
I just learned about this Montreal band on Monday, starting with their first album Zeroes QC. I liked the Art Rock/Post-Punk vibe, combining electronics and rock and...well I don't remember how else I described them. Then I moved on to their most recent release and it definitely tops their debut. There's definitely more Clinic influence here than on the debut, with similarities in both the vocals and the music. Yet it has a sound of its own. It's not quite as anxiety-inducing as a lot of Clinic's music (though their recent releases didn't produce quite as much anxiety). Anyway if you like Clinic, art rock, indie rock and post-punk I would suggest checking this out.

Aside from a few minor disagreements (like which is the better Besnard Lakes album), I have to say you and I have very similar taste in music. I loved this album when it came out earlier this year... I had it on repeat along with Mister Lies's album "Mowgli" while writing my thesis. In fact, now I think I want to listen to it.

I posted about this before, but I'm still loving History of Apple Pie's "Out of View"... They are the version of Lush that I always wanted to exist.

Massacre - Love Me Tender

Fred Frith rarely disappoints, and this album is of no exception, as it's as exceptional an album as one would expect from his group Massacre. This album's hectic as usual, noisy, and has some great parts involving what I believe to be loops and delays for Frith. It's a fantastically textural album that's quite punky at points while delving into a jazzier area in others. It's been described as "an unholy union of The Shadows, Captain Beefheart, Derek Bailey and Funkadelic", so if any of that sounds good to you, I'd highly recommend this album. Also, if you're a Frith fan, check it out since I'd say it's some of his better work in years.
