It's every bit as complex as Beacons but on the "prettier" side. Really cool stuff.<br /><br />Also, I totally skipped one of my other favorites this year. My old pals in Creepoid from Philly put out an amazingly beautiful and haunting record. It can out in like January so I forgot to include it but ya'll should check it out.<br /><br />xoxoKyleHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966196962204913198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112188243039145251.post-42036444423110233422012-01-03T09:00:52.154-08:002012-01-03T09:00:52.154-08:00YES! A Kyle mix! One of many things you always br...YES! A Kyle mix! One of many things you always bring to light for me is how even if I think I enjoy "Instrumental music", you show how limited my scope actually is. obviously there's a lot of non-instrumental things as well, but it's fun to see where our tastes overlap and differentiate, but more than anything, you display what a big wide world it is.<br /><br />1) just the right amount of needed inspiration, at a very welcome pace. love that it's only 2 dudes<br /><br />2) some of my favorite records seem like they are scores to imaginary films, and this certainly fits into that tone. I admit to not always being in the mood for jauntier moments, but the sad heaviness pulls it in a wonderful direction. DO tell me when they're playing again....<br /><br />3) check out the "How I loved You" LP! some great (and occasional unexpectedly optimistic) tracks! I could loop the first minute for hours<br /><br />5) you say "return to form" and I can hear that in the first few seconds. I feel guilty for this, I truly do, but Low is one of those bands I don't want to grow TOO far outside of those older records. It may sound strange, but even though they clearly pull it off well, I don't think strength suits them. <br /><br />6) my kind of introduction! i can see this being off putting live, but only because it's impossible to mix this. but this recording, the production? perfecto! so far, this may be my favorite track on the mix; certainly grabbed me by the collar<br /><br />7) ha! hearing you talk about them at Valhalla the other week sold them, and this track seals the deal. what a wrong name; I can not begin to tell you how often I would forever NOT check them out. also...kind of a weird mesh of sludgier culminations of things i got into in both the 90s and the ots.<br /><br />8) can't begin to tell you the admiration, love, jealousy, and affection i have for any dude doing this in his apartment by his lonesome. somebody give him a contract to score a racing video game please. something happens around the 4:45 mark I am wild about.<br /><br />9) "departure", i'll say! i'm glad i can't put a finger on them, and they remain, to me still, the kings of fractured songwriting. it only amazes me how concise and precise they've become<br /><br />11) YYYESSSSS!!!! Justin said it! glad i didpw!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03971170382721575152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112188243039145251.post-73337476713789505142012-01-02T14:44:15.344-08:002012-01-02T14:44:15.344-08:00First off. Holy shit. This is epic.
Second: I feel...First off. Holy shit. This is epic.<br />Second: I feel like I want to live in a future dystopian space world populated by the soundtrack of Ominous Black and 35007, with occasional notes of WWPJP. There should be a disclaimer on Tsunami that states the volume at which it should be played: High. High volume. That drop...Sweet Jesus.<br /><br />There are so many things on here I'm going to need more of.J.Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899579706959992471noreply@blogger.com
