resident posted:The album itself is mostly really obnoxious sugarpop so if you are in the AG Cook fanbase you'll probably love it.  the pop of this album is so far away from the kind of pop that PC Music is putting out that I don't understand your point of comparison here at all fwiw, best tracks on this album: Artangels (that guitar!), Kill V Maim, Realiti, Venus Fly, Butterfly abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Nov 6, 2015 |

HorseRenoir posted:Grimes makes pop music for Urban Outfitters stores and people who write elaborate thinkpieces on why their favorite pop stars are more artistically worthwhile than others. Lady Gaga somehow dropped a more eccentric and interesting album than Art Angels a few years ago but no one gave a poo poo I loving love Artpop but Art Angels is a good album too! Thankfully music is not a zero-sum game. They also have a lot of aesthetic similarities I've been thinking about lately. I think they drew on a lot of the same pop inspirations. "Artangels" (the song) definitely wouldn't be out of place on Artpop (that guitar!). In fact, I think a reason I like Art Angels so much is that many of the songs remind of "Artpop" (the song), which is as ethereal as Gaga's ever gotten - so, arguably, as close to Grimes as she's ever gotten - and I always wanted to hear more music in that vein. Man now I'm realizing I want Grimes to produce the next Lady Gaga album.

BonoMan posted:Daft Punk now means "other people's music." well, it always meant that. hell, the new album is by far the most original thing they've done I wish Coldplay would make another album that sounds like Viva la Vida. That was a great album. Everything they've done since then has been bland as hell. Was it not popular enough or something? At least the new song is a successful shift into dance music, relative to, say, Bloc Party. Dude's vocals still sound hilariously out of place singing anything but art-rock, though abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Nov 12, 2015 |

CLAM DOWN posted:I loving love that song Most indie rock that's just a straight 70s rip isn't really my thing, but this is pretty good for what it is! Thank you for sharing, ignore that one jerk. Listening to their newest album now  Was trying to place the dude's voice, and I realized he sounds a lot like the singer from Boston but in a lower register. FWIW, I'm not gonna bother writing up my AOTYs that everyone here heard (Screaming Females, Grimes, Jamie XX, Viet Cong, Lower Dens, Neon Indian, Carly Rae Jepsen...), but here are some of my favorites y'all might have missed: Ezra Furman - Perpetual Motion People By far my favorite discovery of the year. I hadn't heard of him until the day he played Brooklyn, went to his show on a whim because I liked his LCD Soundsystem cover, and was just totally blown away. I saw him again in October and will be seeing him once again in February; he's fantastic live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvfI6Q5WFT0 Shopping - Wind Up Hey, speaking of bands that are 70s-inspired, Shopping is basically just Gang of Four reincarnated. It's as awesome as that sounds. Their second LP is just like their first: a bunch of short, twitchy, catchy songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc65ZogJpwI Aye Nako - The Blackest Eye Laced - Laced Guerilla Toss - Flood Dosed Three EPs from three local bands I learned about because they opened for other bands. Aye Nako makes cool queer-friendly DIY punk, Laced is an indie pop/punk band who has an LP coming next year that I'm really looking forward to, and Guerilla Toss is impossible to describe semi-danceable noise-art-punk and also somehow signed to DFA of all labels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpZw3tLDrng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jR_M2hsV4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO8NGBHf-Uc

Slandible posted:Amazing how much this thread and the Pop one dictate my musical preference. I sure do like lady singers a whole lot: you should really listen to Empress Of if you haven't yet. also hell yeah Beverly owns here's me: https://open.spotify.com/user/anvolcano/playlist/3ZoMHbxoHUZiUOTTfylMO0 I'm kind of disappointed in myself this year, tbh. For the past few years, I've kept a Spotify starred playlist and cleared it at the end of the year, with the goal of adding one song a day (or at least ending up with >=365 total). Last couple years, I got up to around ~300, which was pretty good. This year, my starred playlist has only 206 songs, and probably only ~35% of that actually came out this year. I feel like there's a bunch of great music that came out this year that I completely missed, so I am glad I don't know like 70% of the songs on the playlists y'all have shared so far!

Slandible posted:Empress Of was an opener for something I saw last year and kind of brushed her off, but the album she put out this year was really good. It's hard narrowing stuff down at the end of the year. I usually send some giant essay out to my friends that I'm sure most of them don't even read. I saw Empress Of headline a few weeks after the album came out and it was a great set - IIRC it was basically just the album in a different order. She had a live band playing drums and bass that added a lot. I kind of wish Grimes would do something similar, her set felt a little anemic by comparison. e: really like this Ought song in britishbornandbread's playlist because I am a sucker for any singer doing a David Byrne impression and this is just straight-up uncanny abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Dec 11, 2015 |

I love how varied all of the vocal guests are. And yeah, of the 800 songs that came out this year called "Holding On" or some variant, I'd argue his is by far the best  e: also hell yeah @ Yonatan Gat on your playlist. He's so loving good live.

I saw a loving ton of shows this year but here's my top 5: PC Music (QT, Danny L Harle, AG Cook, Hannah Diamond, GFOTY, SOPHIE, probably someone I'm forgetting) @ BRIC House Number one with a loving bullet. This was an insane pop-art experience that began with selfies with manufactured pop stars and ended with an incredible SOPHIE DJ set, with everything from a small live orchestra to wacky waving inflatable arm tube men in between. Vince Staples @ The Shop I managed to catch Vince 3 times this year - including once opening for RTJ and once at Music Hall of Williamsburg last week - but between those, I saw him at a loving BBQ joint in Bushwick at a Red Bull-presented $3 thing. It was the dead of summer and the single hottest room I've ever stood in, and he brought more energy to the stage than I've ever seen in my life. I nearly died when he dropped Senorita, and lost a shoe during Blue Suede. Savages @ Baby's All Right This show had been rescheduled due to a crazy blizzard, meaning it was at 1:15 in the morning on a Thursday. I had just seen Viet Cong earlier, too, and I was loving exhausted, but managed to hold down a spot dead front and center. Jenny Beth spent the entire show screaming over my head while I stared straight up in a daze for 40 minutes. It was awesome. I cannot wait for their new album. FFS @ Terminal 5 I love Franz Ferdinand, and had never seen them live. I love Sparks, and had never seen them live. I got to see a setlist that included - in sequence - The Number One Song In Heaven, Michael, and This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us. Those were my favorite 12 minutes of 2015. Yonatan Gat @ Rough Trade NYC Yonatan Gat and his band play in the center of the floor. It's awesome and a sight to behold. He also has the hands-down greatest drummer I've ever seen live - that dude plays rhythms that sound physically impossible  Honorable mentions: Kendrick Lamar @ Terminal 5, Carly Rae Jepsen @ Irving Plaza (SHE PLAYED LIKE EVERY SINGLE SONG ON EMOTION Y'ALL), We Are Scientists @ Rough Trade, Neon Indian @ Baby's, Hot Chip @ Webster Hall, Ratatat @ Webster Hall, Todd Terje @ T5, I saw Sloan do like a 2-hour set at Rough Trade, Mastodon & Clutch in Central Park, goddamn this was a crazy good year abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Dec 15, 2015 |

billboard also reiterated the reunion rumors they floated earlier this year: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/6821590/lcd-soundsystem-reunion-new-song-christmas-will-break-your-heart still will believe it when I see it. I'm a little wary just because I've never seen them before and wouldn't want to miss the chance to catch them, if this is just a one-off tour - they're one of my three favorite artists of all time - but I hope they play more than festivals  Anaranjado posted:Vinyl single already sold out........ I bought it because I'm a loving idiot and I want to have as close to a full discography as possible (I meant to fill out my collection while DFA was running that 35% off sale and forgot, arghhhhhhh records cost so much) but DFA reprints everything so I'm sure you'll be able to get it again next year

I kinda liked a few songs on that debut, but they somehow seem really, really popular for a generic shoegaze-ish band. They're a band that I can sort of appreciate but am baffled by their popularity, like Beach House (though even Beach House has more of a pop sensibility)

I saw her after only hearing a couple of songs and totally thought it was a male and female singer until live when she sang both parts. Really cool. awesome, looking forward to that show! The Range is coming out with a new album in March that should be good, if the first single is any indication: https://soundcloud.com/therangemusic/florida/ I've actually seen him play a couple surprise opening DJ sets recently (once for AG Cook/Danny L Harle and once for CHVRCHES) and it reminded me how great his last album was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyOdix_Ndo0

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Bloc Party is one of those weird cases where their debut album was perfect and then nothing they've done has come close to being as good. And it's sad because I want to like new Bloc Party music, but every time I hear some, I already kind of know it's not going to do much for me and then it proves me right. the second and third Franz Ferdinand albums were secretly pretty good though! not as good as their first obviously, but serviceable. the fourth album was pretty disappointing but had a couple decent tracks. and FFS was great whereas every Bloc Party album since their first was straight trash I never want to listen to again (We Are Scientists also had this problem though they had a few good singles on their later albums and their live set is at least 70% first album and the good songs off their later ones)

The new St Lucia album is freaking me out because it sounds like it fell out of a time warp from 1986. Check this poo poo out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_YcC8dw8pk I love their first record and I like this one, but I'm kinda bummed out it sounds like they went backwards in time. There's also nothing as ambitious and overstuffed as September or Too Close on this e: I take that back, "Rescue Me" is as massive and ridiculous as those songs were and I love it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSDYnd8AIc0 abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jan 30, 2016 |

here is music I just saw and would like to tell you about : I first saw Beverly open for TOPS last March and I saw em again headlining tonight and they're really good! They have a similar dream pop vibe but a little louder and more aggressive on some stuff, especially the unreleased stuff they played from their next record in May. I've probably talked this band up before in this thread but they just made a new video that is good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs2XJl12Wvw Opening for them though I saw a new band called WALL that is awesome. They are not the German band called WALL on Bandcamp, which is confusing. They maybe should change their name? Anyway their new EP is on Soundcloud. I think the lead single, Cuban Cigars, is kind of bland and doesn't represent well them at all. The rest of their stuff is really good and some of the highest-strung post-punk I've heard. They remind me a lot of first-album DEVO with the distorted surf rock riffs, weird tempo changes, and paranoid and angry vocals this is my fav song of theirs: https://soundcloud.com/wharf-cat-records/sets/wall-ep-single-premieres
