My Millipede tape is out now on Epicene_ESR, it is called Hyrule, and it is noise of a sort. You can order the tape here if you are so inclined and if you just want to check out what my music sounds like you can do that over here. Thanks.

I miss the days when I could play Zelda.

The Goslings just came out with a new album! The Goslings just came out with a new album! Hurry up mailman, hurry up!

I just gave the Goslings album a listen, and it sounds great so far, I may end up liking this one more than Grandeur of Hair.

It's not quite as noisy or dark as there other stuff, but still very good.

It's alright, but I didn't really like Grandeur of Hair.

Ummm....gtfo

I loved Grandeur of Hair but the new record seems a little weak to me. The good parts sound similar enough to the rest of their material but the other tracks without vocals sound like average, run-of-the-mill doom/noise/sludge. Maybe it will grow on me....
I expected better from them.

You wanna take this outside?

I'm new to Earth and have recently picked up The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull. I was just wondering if anyone who is more familiar with their back catalog had any opinions on the album in relation to their other work.

Earth? It's ALL good! I haven't heard the new one, but I can't imagine it strays too far from their other tectonic plate shaking platters.

Sounds pretty similar to last year's Hibernaculum.

Earth huh? I love Earth 2. It's a stone cold classic. You wanna know where SunnO))) came from, look no further. They started as an Earth cover band. I like the new stuff okay, Bees is better than Hibernaculum or Hex but still follows pretty much the same template of slow, plodding spaghetti western drift. The stuff in-between 2 and Hex is pretty bad but some fans might tell you otherwise....

I saw that review on pitchfork of Street Horrrsing by Fuck Buttons. Does anyone know if it's actually any good?

I've had it for around two months now and it's fucking incredible.

Street Horrrsing is a very good record. I don't think they're doing anything incredibly original, especially if you're familiar with Boredoms, Black Dice, or earlier Animal Collective stuff. Basically it's kind of layered electronics that remind me of some of the Boredoms Super Roots records but with vocals that sound identical to Dom Fernow of Prurient. Definitely a good record but an 8.6 is pretty outrageous. If you look at the reviews on Dusted and Tiny Mix Tapes, the opinion is generally more middle of the road.

I agree. I enjoyed it but I've put it to the back of my queue with a lot of other albums I've been enjoying more in front of it.

I can't believe I'm still digesting that wonderful Prurient album... it's great but taking me a long time to totally take in (which generally means it'll last).

I can't say enough good things about And Still, Wanting. Prurient stepped the game up to a nearly untouchable point on this record. Definitely in my top ten for the year without a doubt.

Anyone here listened to Life-Sized Psychoses from The Fun Years last year. I have had my eye on it for awhile and finally got it and am now kicking myself for not having purchased it earlier. Really incredible ambient/experimental from a duo of turntablist and guitarist. I think it is one of the best as far as melodic fuzz or whatever. If anyone else has heard it let me know what you think.

Yeah I really liked it and listened to it a lot last year, but your post has inspired me to go back to it again.

so i haven't heard the new prurient, although i've definitely been definitely meaning to check it out.

recently, i've been really digging that kites album peace trails...sometimes a little more the psychedelic rather than i usually like it in my noise tastes.

i know we've talked about black dice before, and it may have been talked about to death in this thread, but since it's 30 pages now, i was wondering what people thought of the newest album. personally, i love broken ear record...so much focus (like beaches and canyons), but also a kind of fun. that's what i like about the new album, although i think they focus too much on just one idea per song. anyway, i'm bummed i missed them when they came through dc in november. i just really like their stuff, and they're definitely my biggest electronic influence.

i don't mean to push this change in topic away from more of the fuzzier noise based stuff (like we've been talking about much more recently), so if nobody wants to talk about it, then cool.

Load Blown is good but not nearly as good as Beaches & Canyons. Eric Copeland's Hermaphrodite is great too; it functions almost like a movie, gives me an entire scene (or two) per track that all add up in the end. I love it.
