Albums You're Digging II

Sioux Falls - Rot Forever (2016)
I heard a song last Friday while shuffling my 2016 album queue and I liked it very much, reminding me of 1994 Built to Spill and Weezer. Can't go wrong with those things. The song was "Your Name's Not Ned". So over the weekend I decided to listen to the whole album. It's a lot more emo than I expected, emo in the 90s revival style (SDRE, Mineral, etc.) not the corporate emo of the early 2000s and beyond. It's a long album but it's one of the best I've heard in the style since the 90s.

J Dilla | Welcome 2 Detroit

Dilla managed to mold RnB, Hip Hop, Jazz, and electro almost with no effort. It's a near masterpiece debut album that showed Dilla as a great wordsmith as well as beat conducta.

Plastic Little - Welcome to the Jang House (2008)

Pretty damn cool Hip Hop album. Quite abstract, synthy at times and generally rather off kilter. Check it out.

Also who played this in plug?

Charli XCX's new EP is the kind of in your face, loud pop music that you can't stop listening to regardless of how hard you try. S/o to SOPHIE for some fantastic production on this thing.

^ This man knows.

Ninetales posted an album by this band, which led me to a "dub" remix album of their songs. This is the opener.

I've not posted here in ages. Very busy these days with university. I came back just to sing the praises of this album, and recommend it to everyone. It's one of the most beautiful experiences I have had with a new album in a long time.

Fishmans- 98.12.28 男達の別れ (98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare)
This is a live recording like none I have heard before. Fishmans' studio work is amazing but these songs just come to life in a live setting. The performance last for over two hours, and it just builds and builds until it reaches perfection. The music is very unique. A blend of ethereal dream pop, psychedelic guitars and big groovy dub basslines and production. Shinji Sato has an androgynous voice, and it's polarising but versatile. Shinji can use it to create the most upbeat dance anthem, or wring it for every little bit of emotion on the devastating second disc. Sadly he would die within a few months of this recording.
I highly recommend watching the video for the last forty minutes of the performance when they do 'Long Season'. The song is a masterpiece. The catchy central riff is repeated throughout, and everytime it grows stronger. It is altered with effects, it is wrapped around increasing layers of instrumentation. Shinji is at points visibly upset. The lighting is beautiful. It becomes something that can't be put into words. 10/10.

Pretend - Tapestry'd Life

This is my album of 2015 that I didn't discover until 2016. Had I known, it would have been my number one.
