Very BOC vibe on this one, loving it

I think I can say for certain that I like the GY!BE's post-hiatus albums more than their earlier stuff. I love all of their music, but since their comeback, they've gotten a bit more challenging, and therefore more intriguing.

Electric Youth and new album, Breathing - absolutely incredible, cannot recommend highly enough. Imagine Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, BOC, John Carpenter, crossed with bits of John Williams and films like Poltergeist, Batteries Not Included, Close Encounters.
Man, I have been going about this album incessantly!!!

I don't like how GY!BE's newest is so connected to a political opinion. I've always liked their artwork and little texts but they never felt political before, not sure if I want trump in my drones really..

They’ve been overtly political from the beginning. But if you dislike the politics, all you need to do is avoid reading the liner notes and just listen to the music.

But I love me some GY!BE liner notes!
And yeah they have, true, but it's never felt this strange before for me personally.

From:
The Caretaker - Everywhere At the End of Time Stage 3
https://thecaretaker.bandcamp.com/album ... nd-of-time'Everywhere at the end of time' is a new and finite
series exploring dementia, its advance and its totality.
Featuring the sounds from the journey The Caretaker
as artist will make after being artistically diagnosed as having early
onset dementia.
Each stage will reveal new points of progression,
loss and disintegration. Progressively falling further
and further towards the abyss of complete memory
loss and nothingness.

The new Four Tet is certainly worth a listen. I've had it on repeat for a few weeks now.

For sure. Probably my AOTY, so far.
It was my first proper GB experience too. I mean, I obviously knew Two Weeks, but this was my first time listening to a Grizzly Bear album. I've since checked out Shields (also great) and will proceed with the rest once I find time.

It's funny because Allelujah is quite possibly my favourite GY!BE record, but I wouldn't highly rate the rest of their post-hiatus material. I mean, it's all good, but the original albums are undoubtedly better overall, to my ears.

Getting a bit obsessed with
Richard Dawson, from my home city of Newcastle.
Incredible String Band crossed with Captain Beefheart.
This, frankly, is absolutely magnificent. When it gets going, holy shit....

Go get yourself to see him live Mex, he's phenomenal.
Seen him twice at Green Man Festival here in Wales.
Best song I've heard this year....

Someone mentioned Drab Majesty in this thread a while back (thank you for that, by the way -
The Demonstration is an amazing album.) Here's the band's fantasy funeral playlist:
https://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/drab-majesty-funeral-playlistBOC are in there, which doesn't especially surprise me since, like BOC, DM seem to have a knack for ingenious chord progressions & the ability to conjure up an 80s aesthetic without ever sounding like a hollow, opportunistic imitation . . .

I only listened to few albums of this year. But Grandaddy' s latest album was excellent, IMO.

I love the first half of that album (this track especially) but then it turns into a bit of a snoozefest, in my opinion.
Sumday is my favourite record of theirs. El Caminos in the West is the jam of all jams.

Oxbow's last is nothing short of massive and wistful.

James Holden’s new album The Animal Spirits is just incredible.
