^that one is somewhere in the untrackable mail ether but should arrive this week. Definitely looking forward to it.

Also looking forward to new Cheer/Accident - Putting off Death. Shows as preorder on Amazon for May release, but no label or band press release....weird

My favourite so far this year, rather to my own suprise, is the new Pryapisme album.

Only two new albums so far this year for me, Thinking Plague - Hoping Against Hope, and Mike Oldfield - Return To Ommadawn. The TP is outstanding & will probably be challenging for top spot by year end, MO is very good, while not quite up to the original or Hergest Ridge level it is back to the style of his I love the most and a worthy addition.

Been enjoying the latest Junius album "Eternal Rituals For The Accretion Of Light". Nicely done post-metal with some of that Alcest heavy shoegaze style mixed in (albeit with a little more "manliness" to the vocals).

^Been meaning to check out that King Gizzard album.

Thundercat's great. My favorite thing of his is an EP actually, The Beyond / Where the Giants Roam. 

Otherwise, I've been listening to Seiko Oomori's kitixxxgaia. Definitely pop, but she has an arty bent. Kind of a deconstruction of Japanese idol pop, while also being a celebration of it. She's a great melodicist, too, and there are many earworms on this album. Overall not as solid as her previous, but it's still pretty enjoyable (to me).

2017 has been interesting so far. It has seen both King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Blanck Mass produce their finest work to date. The former sound more adventurous yet still clinging onto that charming psychy garage style of theirs, whilst Blanck Mass' World Eater retains a black 80s dystopian power comparable to that of a few Joy Divisions yet all of this is handed over to the listener in brightly coloured electronics and swooping melody lines. Modern electronic at it's very best.

I also rather dig the new Richard Pinhas album Dronne. Perhaps not all that surprisingly the music takes on these droning qualities - eliptical reverberating guitar experiments yet somehow the music doesn't come off particularly one-sided. There's all kinds of colours, shimmers and twinkles oozing up from various usage of pedals and erfects and the surrounding hypno drums and see sawing electronics transform Pinhas guitar lines into something verging on melody and additionally wraps the whole experience in a psychedelic veil that suits pretty damn good imho.

One of my fave discoveries this year has been Thundercats' Drunk. Damn what a saucy throwback to those bouncy Funkadelic years during the 70s...but on this particular record they seem spliced together with the neopsychedelic antics of a black Ariel Pink. Sound weird? It isn't. It's like slipping into a hot bath.

New Temples album Volcano is still too new for me to have formed an opinion. It does however sound like they've followed in the footsteps of Tame Impala and Pond incorporating synth hooks and a good whiff of the 80s into the mix.

Grails are still at the top with Chalice Hymnal. That album is just gorgeous. Like micing up a river in the mountains.

To be continued..

Also good to see this forum ignoring new Pallbearer - all the mainstream reviews are like THIS IS SO PROG, but all I hear is Type O Negative covering Nickelback. No idea what "prog" the music media been listening to if THAT is considered prog by them, bleh

Mastodon - Emperor of Sand (their best since Crack the Skye)
Dutch Uncles - Big Balloon (they call it "indie", but it's got 80s Crimson/Talking Heads written all over it!)
Fen - Winter (really good prog/atmoblack metal
Soen - Lykaia (A Perfect Circle covering Katatonia; more 2003' Opeth than Tool, btw)
Elbow - Little Fictions (another "indie", but very Talk Talk(ish)/2002' Peter Gabriel to me)
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – Flying Microtonal Banana (math-surf microtonal insanity!)

New Steve Hackett on the way. I am skeptical, but somehow it ended up in the cart anyway.

^ However, the new Gevende appears to be vinyl or download only. Shame as that means I probably won't get it.

I recall listening to these guys years ago and being very underwhelmed. But this album is straight diggum smacks! Will have to revisit some of their older stuff to see if my perception has changed.

^ I've only heard good things about it so far, so the new Maxophone is certainly in the queue for new albums for me to check out.

Here's a new discovery tonight that I'm really digging:


Some of the best psychedelic jamming I've heard in a while!
