Holy shit.
This was an *insanely* good month for music: lots of good new albums released, lots of good finds on an electronic kick, some playing-bonnaroo-driven finds and a dash of my usual trashy nonsense. Brace yourself!
Album of the Month
Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit - Actual lyrics get at this old heart of mine, this girl do have a wry way with saying words, with a reckoning rumble to back it up.
Also Recommended!
So much!
New releases:
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly - A rich, ranting, blistering hip hop screed to remember.
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowel - Probably the most crushingly beautiful, sad album you'll hear all year.
Electronic stuff:
Zongamin - Zongamin - Glitchy, bouncy, subtly strange, completely listenable accoustic/electronic.
Krazy Baldhead - The Noise in the Sky - Rockist electronica with great hooks and flow, plus a spark of something new you just can't put your finger on.
Lindstrom and Prins Thomas - II - Both at the top of their game: those krauty basslines, those helixical synth lines, pure space disco hypnosis.
Africa via roo '15
Songhoy Blues - Music in Exile - Intricate, toetapping guitar music that slithers all around the outside of "rock"
William Onyeabor - World Psychedelic Classics 5: Who Is William Onyeabor? - About ahead of its time as sounds come, beats and grooves so sure, so pure.
The usual:
White Reaper - White Reaper -Yep. Still a sucker for too-loud, too-fast, wheelscominoff garage rock.
