‘wanna be high’ Recommended Releases 11.12

The-Weeknd-Twenty-Eight-Trilogy

The end of the year is usually pretty light on new releases, so I don’t have a lot to recommend right now.  In fact, November was so sparse I’ve gone ahead and included albums from late last month as well.  I realize this is being posted a little early, but I will be traveling...

September more than made up for August’s lack of color.  Maybe there wasn’t anything as dense and mindblowing as The Seer, but I seriously doubt I could’ve handled another one of those anyway.  What follows is a fitting goodnight to the long days of summer.  And as much as I hate grouping these albums...

‘of grim eloquence’: Recommended Releases 07.12

Most of July was spent in transit, so my tastes might be skewed towards albums that sound good turned up loud while flying down the freeway, but that’s not to say there wasn’t variety in my roadtrip soundtrack.  The past month might have been heavy on metal, but it also saw exciting releases in...

May was almost overwhelming in its presentation of new music.  Not only were there countless new releases, I also took the time to catch up on some of the metal I had been missing out on, making this a heavy month in recommendations.  And as much as I hate grouping these into posts like...

‘cure my ills’: Recommended Releases 04.12

April was a good month for music, but it did provide a lull in what has been an incredible start to the new year. That being said, there are still quite a few albums worth checking out, and as much as I hate grouping recommendations into posts like this, other aspects of life are...

‘take everything away’: Recommended Releases 02.12

February turned out to be a great month for music releases, and as much as I hate grouping recommendations into posts like this, other aspects of life are getting in the way of individual recommendations.  These types of posts will have to serve as ‘better than nothing’ for the time being. Perfume Genius –...

‘i like damage’: Recommended Releases 01.12

Cleveland's Cloud Nothings have arrived with Attack on Memory. There was no doubt this album would be my pick for this first month of 2012. It's inevitable that I miss out on a band at Fun Fun Fun fest every year and it seems 2011 was no exception. I had no...

the last dozen leaves on the tree

Looking out my window on this crisp November morning, all the Fall colors have disappeared and left only a few survivors hanging from the naked trees in the neighborhood.  Winter is upon us here in Denver, Colorado and those few hangers-on will be gone with the next storm.  It’s a transitional time, out with...

Chelsea Wolfe Premieres ‘Mer’

It’s hard to believe it has been less than a year since we started talking about the black-veiled songstress Chelsea Wolfe.  Since then she has released two albums, performed at SXSW, toured Europe, shared a stage with acts as diverse as Liturgy, How To Dress Well and Julianna Barwick, and now her Zev Dean...

‘you camped out in my mind and told me evil things’

Youth Lagoon – The Year of Hibernation (Fat Possum, 2011) Bedroom projects are not usually known to have an immense amount of personality, so The Year of Hibernation acts as the exception that proves the rule.  22-year-old Trevor Powers is Youth Lagoon, but Youth Lagoon is only a part of Trevor Powers.  The tracks...
