Pitchfork wrote about it, gave it an okay rating. I think it's absolutely gorgeous. I love what folk music is turning into. Reminds me of that Anna & Elizabeth avant-bluegrass record from last year. The songs feel both of earth and completely alien, spacey yet grounded. It's transcendental.

It'll take me awhile to decide what I ultimately rate this, but I'm definitely enjoying it.

My first impression is VERY positive. If Pitchfork praises something they’re almost always dead on but I don’t trust their bad reviews so much.

I couldn’t find a YouTube link to the full album, but do check it out. The track I posted is the closer and really works best after the impact of the rest of the record.

It’s on Spotify

Soulseek or gtfo.

I mentioned that Sarah Louise album above in my journal a few days ago, as it's one of the 2019 albums I'm interested in getting. There's 5-10 of them so far.

But the only 2019 I actually have so far is the "Micro" EP from Ukrainian metalcore band Jinjer. I like it so far. It's pretty dense with riffs and changeups in a way that feels very kinetic and doesn't lose track of the grooves.

As far as buying albums goes, I'm mainly still playing catch-up with 2018.

Came out today.
Sounds like it's gonna be another favorite of mine for 2019
(along with that Richmond Avant-Improv Collective album).

So what is the deal with Flips' King's Mouth? It seems to be linked with Coyne's new art exhibit which makes me think that it's not really gonna be anything of value.

Zeppelin Over China
Album by Guided by Voices

Still love this band
