What Are You Listening To?

Been listening to a lot of trillwave lately.
Enjoying this little subsection of AMVs made exclusively with trillwave.

The new Spoon is out!
Unfortunately, my favorite tracks haven't found YouTube releases yet but it's definitely deserving of the great reviews it has been receiving. Excellent production combined with a band invested in fully exploring their sound has resulted in an incredible album with layered goodness. More of an emphasis on the keys as well; I honestly felt some distorted Billy Joel vibes flowing through tracks like First Caress. The first great album of 2017 has arrived.
There's also a new Real Estate so I'll update on that one once I've given it a spin.

These are a few of my favorite artists that I think deserve more recognition!
Cloud Cult
Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt! (Explicit)
Miracles of Modern Science
The Black Box Revelation
Joywave
Courtney Barnett
Suzanne Vega
Zebra Katz (Explicit)

Future Islands is a band that has been in the biz for a long while but didn't really find success until their last release, thanks to some really great late night show performances that went viral. I quickly made sure to catch a show of theirs after hearing of them and I gotta say, probably one of the best live acts I've ever had the pleasure of catching/dancing to. This album is another one from them that is just great all around, solid tone throughout, with more introspective lyrics than what I was expecting. Worth a listen.
I really wanna check out Joni Mitchell now thanks to the most recent Frame Trap.

@SabotageTheTruth Future Islands is a great band! They're locals where I went to school so I was lucky enough to catch them live a couple times.
In other news.. a friend of mine got me listening to a lot of Brand New again. I was never a huge fan but I'm really enjoying rediscovering them so to speak
-
@Faaip The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me happens to be my favorite album of all time. I was lucky enough to see them perform all of it up in Seattle back in 2007.
-
@SabotageTheTruth Dude nice! It really is an incredible album. I hear they're breaking up in 2018.. so I'm definitely gonna try to catch them live before that happens.
-
@Faaip In the great words of Ian Hinck, "LCD Soundsystem is playing Coachella this year. Sometimes a finale isn't really final, you know?" So I'm hoping they don't break up but it certainly has been awhile since they released anything.
-
@SabotageTheTruth That's true, a lot of bands come back after "breaking up". I'm hoping The Chariot does that heheh I never got to see them live.. oh and for the love of god Fugazi
-
Lately, lots of They Might Be Giants. Especially the older stuff.
Probably because I was in New York, and they mention NYC a lot in their older songs, so it was cool to go to places they mention or where they filmed their videos.
Don't Let's Start was somewhere I actually got to go to the filming location of (the old 1964 New York State Pavilion in Corona Park, Queens)
-
I've been pretty obsessed with Rag'n'Bone Man lately. The video for Hell Yeah is also one of a few videos that effects me emotionally. He first came to my attention though from the Mass Effect Andromeda trailer.

Besides the wonderful smooth jazz coming from Persona 5, Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.
-
@Rayne5 That smooth jazz is addicting. I could never get into Kendrick Lamar before but everyone seems to be enjoying DAMN so I should give him another go.
-
@SabotageTheTruth I would stand in the street in that game just to hear the music longer haha.
I love all of his albums but this one I would probably rank last of them all. To put it in perspective TPAB is the best. But it's all down to personal taste, you might find DAMN to be your favourite or you might not like any of it.
-
So I found out one of my favorite bands is going to be in town next week.
Between Persona 5 releasing and finally having an opportunity to see Deerhunter live, April 2017 is quickly becoming one hell of a month for me.
-
Ive been listening a lot of Jordan Rudess for the past while. He's the keyboardist for Dream Theater, but has also released a few of his own albums over the years. Some with purely piano pieces, both original and covers of non piano songs. Others being progressive rock. I could almost imagine them in a Mega Man game lol. Here's two tracks from the album Feeding the Wheel. Enjoy!
-
been listening to meatloaf lately
''I would do anything for love'' specifically
-
@FF7Cloud "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is a great Karaoke duet (if there isn't too much of a queue behind you)
-
Right now i am in love with Avenged Sevenfold new album The Stage, but I'm trying to listen to more 70's/80's metal.
-
I've been listening to this a lot for over a month a now, for anyone that is into sad and calm music I can't recommend it enough, and the story behind the album is incredibly sad and it adds a lot more power to the music.
