(Must resist the urge to link everything in my spotify library...)
So yeah, I go through a lot of music. Some of it's new, some of it's just new to me. But here's a selection of the super awesome stuff I've been obsessing over lately:
And actually, the first one is totally props to you Court! Because you linked me to this album and I subsequently fell in mad passionate love with it. So thank you. And your brother. *g* Anyway, this is "Julius" by Starfucker, which is now one of my favorite songs of all time.
Here's one I just found last week. "Lady" by Chromatics, off of Kill for Love.
This is actually an album I've been geeking out over for a long time, but since it hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves I'm totally advertising for it. El-P's Cancer for Cure is a legitimately amazing hip hop album and probably one of the best I've ever listened to. I've used many a song in character playlists. This one is "Works Every Time."
And speaking of hip-hop, I am so in love with the new Kanye West album. "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead" are like... *melts into a puddle of musical joy.*
Another album I've been really into for a while is Shields by Grizzly Bear. I never got that into Grizzly Bear before? But their newest album is just gorgeous and melancholy and perfect. This is "Yet Again."
Danger Mouse released a new album (Rome) a while back with Daniele Luppi, Norah Jones and Jack White that's pretty kick-ass. I think my favorite track is "Problem Queen."
I'm not so into the Temper Trap usually, but this is a really good song. "Leaving Heartbreak Hotel."
If you like dream pop, another cool one: "Mute" by Youth Lagoon.
You guys know how much I love Beach House right? Bloom is one of my favorite albums ever. It's so lush and gorgeous. "Wild" is my favorite off the album, but really the whole thing is pretty orgasmic. Anyway, I think this is a pretty good way to end my massive music post of doom.
