New Albums I'm Really Into...

Clam Casino - Instrumental Mixtape

>>alone at night, this is a perfect soundtrack for night riding, but I listen to it almost all the time. with the beats hitting in my headphone, everything feels ready to expand into the unknown. really, atmospheric music is my thing, loud or minimalism.





Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Mirror Traffic

>> i like the album cover, but it's the music I enjoy. Malkmus' songwriting seems to have become mature, cuz he can write whatever he feels like, but at the same time, he hasn't improved at all, still singing with the same old random cynicism.




Jenny Hval - Viscera

>> still trying to figure out her lyrics. probably the most powerful and interesting lyricist I have heard in a long time. her voice brings names like Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Linda Perhacs to mind. a very versatile artist who put out a versatile debut album, and it flows effortlessly. sublime stuff.




Bon Iver - Bon Iver

>> this album is a grower. unusually beautiful and exquisite. to put it into a scenario, Emma was like a breakup night, sad and lonely. this album takes place the following morning, when he's still half sleeping, dreaming, slowly awakening...
