Nothing yet, although I am looking forward to the new Kino in a couple of weeks, the new Spock's Beard in May, and The Sea Within, assuming that comes out this year. It feels like it's going to be a quieter than normal year this year, considering that most of my main artists released in 2017 (Wilson, BBT) and DT14 isn't happening until 2019.

really cool and smart art-pop - Field Music "Open Here". Imagine Grizzly Bear minus folk plus Talking Heads, or less quircky Dutch Uncles.





It's cool they're on PA, could you guys recommend me smth related?..

How's the new one Ian? Krautrock jazz galore like Silver Mountain or have they changed it up a bit? I really dig their latter albums where there seems to be a greater sense of dynamics mixing in oozing calmer psychedelic sections, where Reine especially fits like a sonic glove.

It's locked into their usual style with super funky fuzz keyboards, couple of slower numbers but the rest groove like a bitch. Lots of the calmer psych you're looking for mixed in with drive. It's a winner.

Does Torn provide any freakout style guitar or is he much more a part of the sonar cloth? 

He doesn't dominate, it's more ambient experimental layered on top. He gets screamy in parts but not excessively so. I find a very well balanced mixed of their divergently different style.

Thanks. I've always wished for intermittent crazy guitar bursts in Sonar's music, so I was hopeful Torn would oblige. I'll get a preview of it before I buy (hopfully) but assuming it's not total assbags I'll probably buy it at some point.

Mention of Vantomme makes me want to dig out my Wrong Object albums. What a band! Must check out the solo album, thanks.


The Wrong Object was great. I assume this band is a spent entity at this point (at least in terms of releasing material)? 
I don't know for sure, but with no new recordings in five years I figure so 

That's what I'm assuming as well. :/ Shame...After The Exhibition was fantastic.

^ can't quote you but I'm also interested in that Haino/Sumac collab.

Palm's Rock Island has been my favorite so far. Math rock/progressive pop in a whimsical Animal Collective meets James Ferraro funhouse mirror. 



I also love Jonny Greenwood's score for Phantom Thread and what I've heard from his score for You Were Never Really Here is really cool as well. 


I have been wanting to listen to Dead Magic. I didn't even know she was in the database. If you like Anna von Hausswolff, it's worth checking out Chelsea Wolfe who also explores goth and a bit of heavy music through an ethereal wave lense. 

I'm also eager to check out that Keiji Haino + Sumac record. The trailer for it is pretty heavy and crazy. For the noise rock/noise/free improvisation fans:

I found this one a little disappointing outside of the first track she released (The Mysterious Vanishing of Electra), which I loved. I'll have to give it another listen at some point, it seemed liked most of the album was just paced a bit differently so I may have gone in with the wrong expectations.
