Tell Us About 2012 Releases

[GeezrRckr]

Chris, where are you finding the Lotus Plaza..it's not on ? or the other common places I frequent. Is it possible that you have a webrip?

[Tubesock Shakur]

Its in the user group.

[GeezrRckr]

Not what I was asking, but I got it now. As with the Bloom, I will wait till a legit rip shows up. I just hope one of the Scene groups gets a hold of one/both of these fucking soon.

I'm not yet ready to cobble together an appropriately substantive reiew, but the new Voices From The Lake LP is really nice (VFTL is Donato Dozzy and Neel) Deep, hypnotic techno from an absolute master of the form. Dozzy is arguably without equal when it comes to this sound, as both a DJ and producer. His entire discography is well worth mining but that's a post and discussion for another time/thread.

I finally listened to this. It's incredibly impressive. Languish soundscapes, fluid motion, yadda yadda yadda. Do listen.

[DerekClapton]

Glad you guys diggin on Inner Tube. I love Mark so much. Blown away by the new Julia Holter. Also listened to the new Black To Comm album yesterday in the rain and it was crazy. The Tiny Viper/Grouper collab Mirroring is fucking great. Also the new Windy & Carl is sublime as it gets.

[ods..]

^Dig your taste my dude. I'm loving all those. I will check out Black To Comm, but the others are some of my favorites of the year.

And yeah Voices from the Lake is massive... I still need to take a loooong long drive with that album in the dark though.

[DerekClapton]

Also I just finished listening to the new Lower Dens album Nootropics. SUCH a solid band, I can't handle it.

[DerekClapton]

I finally decided to make an account so I can talk about music witchyu guys

[ods..]

Haha, that's what happened to me as well. 2300 posts later...

[TallGuyCM]

Just by actually talking about 2012 releases, DerekClapton has already done more in 4 posts than so many have in ten times that amount. Welcome!

[guedita]

I didn't realize the Lower Dens release was out already - Sweeeeeeeeeeet.

[Fourthisto]

Jesus, it's like a great new music leak-a-thon this week!

Yeah! It's been a great week, Lotus Plaza and Lower Dens have both slayed me - great stuff. Still looking for that Chromatics record out there...

[jeffp1717]

Justin Townes Earle's Nothing's Gonna Change The Way You Feel About Me Now is all sorts of awesome, as expected.

Also, in that same sort of vein, I can't get enough of Kathleen Edwards' Voyageur. Really beautiful record.

[DerekClapton]

How does the group system work? I really need help finding that new Lotus Plaza. I NEEDS IT.

Stick around, dont suck, and send Souldischarge a PM about it.

[DerekClapton]

Don't suck. Got it.

Do you guys know Deep Magic/Heat wave? He runs this label calls Deep Tapes and plays with Sun Araw in his live band. Well he's been releasing a bunch of mixtapes for free on his website http://deeptapes.com/

The tapes he releases as Heat Wave are all super stoney hip hop beat collage mixes. He also does more droney/meditation musics as Deep Magic. I highly recommend both.

[Tubesock Shakur]

super stoney hip hop beat collage mixes.

Is this a "wave"?

[Tubesock Shakur]

"DEEP MAGIC – ALTARS OF VENERATION" Is that the same Alex Grey as the painter?

[DerekClapton]

The musician is Alex Gray and the painter is Alex Grey. I never made the connection but they seem to have very similar interests in spirituality and psychedelia except they practice different mediums. tRiPpYyYyYyYy

[wmgaretjax]

Alex is a ridiculously cool dude. I've hung out with him at a few different shows. Haven't listened to that mix tape yet, but the heatwave stuff has been pretty nifty thus far. the deep magic stuff is great to fall asleep to.

[DerekClapton]

Yeah I met Alex when he played this lil house in LA with Pedestrian Deposit and Earn. Super chill. Deep Magic is great for falling asleep or stoney meditation on a hot sunny day.

[lunatic core]

If anybody else is interested in skwee. Daniel Savio dropped a self titled album this week. More big ass beats and skweeling synths.

[Miroir Noir]

Email from the Dirty Projectors today, seems pretty much like an announcement:



Hey y'all

We at it again

A desert eagle and a black MAC-10

But wait, hold up: The Gun Has No Trigger

XX dirty projectors XX

[PotVsKtl]

Inner Tube are a dumb band who make dumb music.

[wmgaretjax]

Absolutely.

[PotVsKtl]

Human Teenager are neat.

[TallGuyCM]

The Quakers album is the shit. I'll likely listen to it every time I'm driving around at night for the next few months.

[DirtyPistol]

Also I just finished listening to the new Lower Dens album Nootropics. SUCH a solid band, I can't handle it.

Looks like I might be the only one but I am so bored by the new Lower Dens album. I was really looking forward to it too because the last one was so great, thought they would build upon it. Luckily a non-stop musical diet of Lotus Plaza, Beach House, Chromatics, and Moonface have been killing that disappointment.

[IceyHotshot]

Thoroughly enjoyed both the new Chromatics and the new Orbital.

I was bored too on my first listen. Hopefully it's a grower.

Also speaking of absolutely forgettable releases so far this year.... Air? Yawn.
