let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The Mars Volta latest album is an 'unplugged' affair. It doesn't suck which is something I suppose.

Here's mine, decided to branch out a bit, want to go and listen to more genres I like this year than just solely prog rock.

1. Scaring The Hoes by JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown
2. Carousel by Vylet Pony
3. Seeking The Sources of Streams by Cicada
4. Fauna by Haken
5. Periphery V: Djent Is Not A Genre by Periphery

No really big five star masterpiece yet, but maybe one day 2023 will have that big stand out album, like what 2022 had with All The Pretty Days by Fren.

suggest the band/artist if it's not on PA yet. 

They were rejected by Jazz Rock Fusion a couple of years ago. I always considered them borderline but primarily jazz. Great album, great band.
Yes, they do have a little bit of "everything I like". Modern jazz, Motorik/Kraut etc... but Post-Rock is where I'd place them here at PA. Maybe purely accidental, the building blocks are certainly different. But there's a lot of similarities experiencing their music for me as a listener.

~Stoned Jesus, Season of the Witch~


I listened to your album when it first came out and liked it but actually enjoyed some of your earlier stuff better.

After your post, I went back again. I realized that I'm not as into straight doom like at the beginning of SotW, but that's just my taste, it's well done. But then listening with somewhat fresh ears to the whole album, I'm digging it a lot more. More psych and prog. Odd time in Porcelain is really good, and just the variation of so many textures. The middle section of SotW is my kind of music, and I dig the guitar sound which has more of a single coil feel in a lot of places even thought it's really heavy.

So - Bravo good sir.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I feel like it's been an exceptionally strong year already, especially compared to last year. Off the top of my head I'd go for, in no particular order:
  • Oiapok - OisoLün
  • Fistfights with Wolves - The Sheep That Eats The Wolf
  • Light - The Path
  • Rain - Radio Silence
  • Zopp - Dominion
But right on their heels I have:
  • Mike Keneally - The Thing That Knowledge Can’t Eat
  • PoiL Ueda - PoiL Ueda
  • Eyeless Owl - Murmurations
  • Amoeba Split - Quiet Euphoria
That Rain album in particular really needs some more ears on it IMO. To me they come across sort of like the UK's answer to Echolyn - nothing particularly showy on the surface, but there's real depth to the songwriting if you're willing to put the time in with it.

You're right of course. I have it listed in my 2023 folder for some reason. Apologies.

The Light album is really interesting, never heard anything quite like it.

Also glad I'm not the only one enjoying the Atsuko Chiba.
