Best Albums of 2011*

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:27:27 +0000

*According to me.

Had a lot on this year and didn't quite get the usual amount of time to discovering new music, which was disappointing… but a large handful of my most played artists on last.fm released albums in 2011 which kept me satiated, then i tried to cram a whole gang of albums onto my listen playlist for december, which resulted in some pleasant finds.

In alphabetical order...

THE STANDOUTS (My favourite albums of 2011)

Artist: All Pigs Must Die
Album: God is War

Aggression! Hardcore! Guitar solos!

Artist: Between the Buried and Me
Album: The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues [EP]

Artist: Black Pyramid
Album: Stormbringer [EP]

Artist: The Black Keys
Album: El Camino

Artist: Black Tusk
Album: Set the Dial

Taste the Sin was quite average and i wasn't expecting much more with this. Here they have made an unpretentiously fun album and are just playing to their strengths of basic balls out punk, the first words you hear on this are "SIX!! SIX!! SIIIIXXXXXXXaaaaaaaaaaaaaargghhhhhh!!!!" -- its not taking itself seriously like most sludge metal and the songs just rock out in a hugely satisfying way, check out the amazingly fun, repetitive riffage on the highlight "Resistor" for proof.

Artist: Cave In
Album: White Silence

Artist: Defeater
Album: Empty Days & Sleepless Nights

Artist: Drive-By Truckers
Album: Go-Go Boots

I think anything these guys do would most likely end up in my favourites. There's not a weak track on the album.

Artist: East Of The Wall
Album: The Apologist

Finally, an album that might replace my need to listen to Intronaut's 'Valley of Smoke' once every few days. Amazing.

Artist: Floating Me
Album: Floating Me

Artist: Gillian Welch
Album: The Harrow & The Harvest

On top of being a beautiful album that i adore, I love that somehow John Baizley (the singer/guitarist from Baroness who does the artwork for like, every sludge metal band) did the artwork for this album. It's like all my musical tastes come around full circle in album artwork form.

Artist: Helms Alee
Album: Weatherhead

Only just started listening to this, but its easily the most interesting album i've heard all year (as well as MonstrO's album)… Looking forward to giving this album a good seeing-to in the new year. Loved it straight away.

Artist: The Horrors
Album: Skying

Artist: La Dispute
Album: Wildlife

Artist: Letlive
Album: Fake History

Artist: The Lonely Island
Album: Turtleneck & Chain

Artist: Mastodon
Album: The Hunter

Artist: MonstrO
Album: MonstrO

At a pinch, without thinking too much, i might say this was my favourite album of 2011.

Artist: The Panics
Album: Rain on the Humming Wire

Criminally under-appreciated still, even in Australia, and i prefer this one over Cruel Guards too. Brilliant. Again.

Artist: Scale The Summit
Album: The Collective

Artist: Those Darlins
Album: Screws Get Loose

One of my favourites again! Love them!!!!

Artist: Title Fight
Album: Shed

Artist: Widowspeak
Album: Widowspeak

Artist: Young Widows
Album: In and Out of Youth and Lightness

THE DECENT (Great albums! - just not quite my standouts)

Artist: Aficionado
Album: Aficionado

Artist: Chevelle
Album: Hats Off To The Bull

Artist: City and Colour
Album: Little Hell

Artist: Dark Castle
Album: Surrender To All Life Beyond Form

Artist: Earth
Album: Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light I

Artist: Fucked Up
Album: David Comes To Life

Artist: Ghost Brigade
Album: Until Fear No Longer Defines Us

Artist: Iceage
Album: New Brigade

Artist: Jesu
Album: Ascension

Artist: Opeth
Album: Heritage

Artist: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Album: Belong

Artist: Polar Bear Club
Album: Clash Battle Guilt Pride

Artist: Protest the Hero
Album: Scurrilous

Artist: Radiohead
Album: The King of Limbs

Artist: The Roots
Album: Undun

Artist: Russian Circles
Album: Empros

Artist: Serious Beak
Album: Huxwhukw

Taking the clichéd, ridiculously impossible to pronounce and spell song titles for progressive-instrumental-post-math rock/metal bands to a new level.

Artist: Textures
Album: Dualism

Artist: Tombs
Album: Path of Totality

Artist: Touché Amoré
Album: Parting The Sea Between Brightness And Me

Artist: 40 Watt Sun
Album: The Inside Room

THE OTHER STUFF (worth a mention)
Stuff here i listened once or twice…

Ampere - Like Shadows
Austra - Feel It Break
Disappears - Guider
DJ Shadow - The Less You Know, The Better
Headnodic - Red Line Radio
Howling Bells - The Loudest Engine
Joan As Police Woman - The Deep Field
Liturgy - Aesthethica
Megadeth - TH1RT3EN
Minks - By the Hedge
Sons and Daughters - Mirror Mirror
Southeast Engine - Canary
The Strokes - Angles
Trivium - In Waves

Not going to list the albums I didn't get around to… suffice to say as with the years beforehand the list is 50+ albums long and quite disappointing to not get around to a particular 5 or so, since previously bands like East of the Wall were in my pile of shame that this year was in my top 5, so who knows what i'm missing out on…

Now, not that anyone ever comments on these anymore, i'd still like to get suggestions if you listen to this stuff and think i missed something incredible, which no doubt i always do!

I've also uploaded lots of video to YouTube recently. The latest one is here:

I'm running the risk of becoming homeless at the moment. My landlord is repossessing the flat and I'm desperately trying to arrange somewhere I could move to. So, just in case I end up homeless and have no computer access, I'm trying to get as much of my current work uploaded as possible.

out now: STORMLOOP - Snowbound* - Glacial Movements Records

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 10:36:19 +0000

www.glacialmovements.com

PRESS RELEASE:

Stormloop is Kev Spence from Leeds, England who has been making electronic and ambient recordings since 1999. Snowbound* is his first recording on a record label, and the ambience is in perfect harmony with the icy themes of the Roman Glacial Movements.

Snowbound* is a collection of tracks that was recorded in late december 2009, deep snow had fallen that stayed for over two weeks. Composing usually late into the night, watching the heavy snowfalls was the inspiration for these tracks, and the feeling of been lost in some remote cabin, safe but warm, with good food and drink, staring out at the depths of winter snow that covers the land.
These crystalline soundscapes, take us from the cold winter nights, then out towards the bleakness of space. Snowbound* is an authentic full-immersion into the cold, and you can really feel the snowflakes on your skin.

TRACKLIST + INFO NOTES:

1. snowbound (8:19)
2. cold winds (7:19)
3. a blizzard (4:33)
4. a calm reflection (7:38)
5. melt (2:42)
6. dense fog (1:38)
7. drifting-decent (7:40)
8. losing sleep (4:51)
9. space station j (4:39)
10. cygnus (4:26)

094 /
So we keep it on the Eastern side of Europe this week, following on from the Dutch techno mastery that was Bas Mooy to present a Baltic producer constantly pushing his sonic palette to its limit: oyaarss.

The Showcase
Latvian born and bred oyaarss describes his own music as “lullabies for decadent people“, mainly due to the subtle aftertaste of uneasiness it leaves.

Being a staunch admirer of dystopian novels, post/math-metal, contemporary minimalist music and obscene distortion, has all left a massive footprint in his music, and the only thing you will fail to find in his icy landscapes is a gentle summer breeze. In a very weird way, indeed, it works as a soothing lullaby praising all that is cold, uneasy and eerie, and the heavy industrial harshness is merely a side-effect.

The concept of this studio live-set was to build it entirely out of “remixes” and collaboration tracks by oyaarss, most of them unreleased. This contains remixes for industrial acts (Kaltlicht, Cloaks, Fausten), hardcore/metal bands (Amenra, Kingdom, Tesa), classical music composers (Peteris Vasks, Zbigniew Preisner), as well as other collaboration tracks featuring other artists/bands. However, as one could suspect, this is not going to be a relaxing journey to Bahama beach.

At the moment oyaarss is polishing his début album that will be released early next year on the UK label 3by3, curated by the heavyweight duo Cloaks. His latest digital release The Future Smiling Wryly is available for free download. If you want to catch him on stage, head to Brussels on December 2nd where he will be sharing the stage with Ancient Methods.

092 /
Making a welcome return to the MANTIS radio show, this week Mad EP is back to dish up his trademark hip-hop infested beat work.

the SHOWCASE
Back in February 2010 Mad EP stepped up to the plate and unleashed a monstrous multi BPM and diverse genre mix exclusively for the show. This week he’s back with a fresh selection of ill sounds. If you’re unfamiliar with Matthew Peters aka Mad EP:

Mad EP is Matthew Peters, Iowa native (formerly based in New York, Chicago + Montreal) and recent UK transplant, with a vast and impressive background in electronic and classical music. Peters brings his talents to bear on Mad EP productions in such a way that the end results are diverse and unclassifiable, calmly defying expectations as he skims through every imaginable genre to reach the outer limits of a territory that is indisputably his own.

Peters has been making his own music, variously described as electronic, alternative hip-hop, breakbeat, avant jazz, classical, sample-mania, and consistently unpredictable, for the past ten years in various contexts. His performances have been experienced in clubs, squats, restaurants, art galleries, concert halls, roof tops, radio studios, theatres, and festivals all over North America and Europe. He has also joined the Sub.FM ranks, and has a monthly show called “Tasty Cyanide Radio” – which goes beyond dubstep & garage and features all bass-centric music. In under a year, his playlists have been hailed as uniquely creative and innovative, and have a cult following to match.

Peters is also the consummate collaborative musician. His releases are full of guest appearances by artists with a deep respect his unparalleled musicality: Shadow Huntaz, Puppetmastaz, Jason Forrest (aka Donna Summer), Math Head, Si Begg, Aaron Spectre, Mochipet, End, DJ Grandtheft, jazz trumpeter David Young, percussionist Bryce Beverlin II, and more. Venetian Snares + Leafcutter John both requested him to appear as a cellist on their albums and Peters is often in demand as a remixer, delivering unexpected, yet mind-blowing results.
