I really enjoyed that, went back and listened to a few things I had missed.
New month, new music, insecure men!
This month Iām rather enjoying the unlikely pairing of John Grant and Stephen Mallinder (he of the classic industrial band Cabaret Voltaire) coming up with old-school electro-funk workouts under the name Creep Show. Iām a huge fan of both of these people, so Iām predisposed to love itā¦Iām not sure how much itāll appeal to anyone else. I guess thatās what a forum mix-tape is for, after all.
I have no idea why it took me a couple of months to really get into Olden Yolk, but I am enchanted by them.
Itās a side-project (maybe) of Quilt guitartist/songwriter/occasional singer Shane Butler, along with a NYC-area multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter Caity Shaffer. And theyāre really good.
John Grant? Quilt?
GOOD WORK, LADS!
A new album from my favorite band The Amazing is due out Friday so Iāll add that soon.
Appetizer:
Now playlisted at a Spotify near you!..
Itās all in Moussa Faderaās drumming, how he approaches The Amazing like a jazz group. Reminds me of how Damon Krukowski held down Galaxie 500 and Damon & Naomi so beautifully.
Just now trying thisā¦ didnāt know what to expect, but this is way cooler than I expected. Thanks!
Reminding me of The Auteurs and The Church.
Last month is here! I enjoyed that one; I actually had Creep Show lined up for later in the year but pretty happy to hear it now.
This month, I think Iāve added the correct album, but I have a back-up if not.
Literally everything last month was fantasticā¦loved the new Amazing and that Olden Yolk was terrific. The find of the month was definitely Insecure Men though. Thatās been my āfirst thing in the morning go-toā record for the last two weeks,
This month, putting up Persona by Rival Consoles. He manages to mash up fuzzy ambient textures, clubby techno and industrial beats and it emerges sounding downright soothing.
Wow! A video from ye olden days when musicians shaved. So shocking!
I just saw that the new Belly album is out. Havenāt heard it yet, but since I donāt know what else to throw in, you get Belly! Enjoy?
P.S. I agree about Insecure Men! Great album.
Iām new to this Bitches Brewinā forum mix-tape but a quick glance at the most recent albums and I nearly got to see Rival Consoles at a festival last year but he was on at some early hour of the morning and we were just so shattered from a busy day. Shame too because I dig a lot of what Iāve heard of his!
I added the Soft Science lp that came out today, āMapsā. Itās a terrific dreampop album, long on hooks and memorable songs.
Crikey, the new Oneohtrix Point Never album (āAge Ofā) is something to hear. Getting closer to a pop recordā¦not quite there yet. I figure heās got three more years or so of this experimentalism until heās producing Drake singles.
Late night chill soundtrack anyone? Iāve added Fixed Rope (II) by Express Rising whom I dig.
Dense symphonic drone from two guys calling themselves Pausal.
Iām unable to add songs to the playlist, or Iāve forgotten how to do it. The playlist is in my library, so I can access it, but canāt add songs to it. Maybe itās been so long since Iāve posted that Iāve dropped off of the members list or something?
Are you trying to add songs on the desktop version or mobile? Iām not sure it works on mobile.
Which playlist? This is the correct link.
Thereās no membership list as far as Iām aware; Iāve never enabled one at least. I can see a couple of people have added albums.
