My year's favorite electronica and noise rock went here. The Flaming Lips Embryonic
, Fuck Buttons Tarot Sport
, and Crystal Castles
(2008) are essential purchases this year, rest of these tracks come from albums you'll want to further explore before making a commitment, thought the rest of Lindstrom CD is in exactly same vein as selection included here. Listen/Subscribe On Spotify!
INCLUDES SELECTIONS FROM:
Strong Recommends: Embryonic - The Flaming Lips, Tarot Sport - Fuck Buttons, Crystal Castles.
Mild Recommends: Where You Go I Go To
- Lindstrom, Popular Songs
- Yo La Tengo, Take My Breathe Away
- Gui Boratto, Psychic Chasms
- Neon Indian
ABOUT THE ALBUMS:
Embryonic - The Flaming Lips: It's hard to reconcile these two thoughts: one, that this might be the year's best record, and two, that it reminds me of nothing more than the jazz oddesey "Puppet Show and Spinal Tap" scene from Rob Reiner's 80's classic...but both thoughts ring totally true. A collosal, oh-so-noisey experimental skronk fest, this heavy, bad-ass, Can-styled experimental rollercoaster is a complete 180 from the wimpy orchestral pop the band has been putting out for the last 14 years. Comprised of eighteen jammy, so-called "songs," it's about the ride and the vibe rather than individual tracks, but Soft Bulletin & Yoshimi fans be damned, I think it's the best album the Lip's have ever done.
