i mistaked you for a chanterelle...

its been a while since i've posted, yet again, but with my thesis done and a job found i should be able to post more regularly again...















i figured i would post some new stuff i've been into lately. firstly, alela diane's last album was an over produced mess which lost what had originally made her music capitivating. her new 10' ep with alina hardin seems to be moving back to the rustic acoustic mountain sound that got her attention in the first place. Califone are one of my all time favourite bands and for the life of me i cant figure out why they dont get more attention (although if they did i would probably bemoan it). Anyway, there new album, 'all my friends are funeral singers' is absolutely amazing... the two wooden sky tracks are from their tour ep - thanks to tyson for the help - and the songs continue with the quality of their recent album. not sure about super group monsters of folk yet, but i dont mind these two tracks. the clientele's new album is their best since strange geometry, nothing new, but they pull it off well. kings of convenience seem to be getting close to a new album, although riot on an empty street is a b-side from their last album of the same name. i hope they return to their darker and glacial side for the coming record. kurt mother fucking vile, i love this album and his previous work so much, just great rock music. and finally, while i can't get behind the new fuck buttons album, i like this b-side to their single as it has a very animal collective rhythm and such... not sure why i just wrote all of that, moral of the story listen to califone and kurt vile...
