A quick-hit on what I am listening to recently.
On Circles by Caspian is an awesome post-rock album that covers a lot of ground. I hear ambient, shoegaze, and metal in the tracks here. I’ve already played this one end-to-end over a half dozen times; it’s that good!
The Slow Rush by Tame Impala was highly anticipated and does not disappoint. This has only been out for a couple of days now so I’m only on my second listen. I imagine my opinions will crystallize as I’ve been able to internalize the songs. My initial reactions are that I love the theme of “time” and it seems like an evolution from Currents.
Have We Met by Destroyer is an album that grew on me. At the first listen, I didn’t quite get it but nevertheless it drew me back for a second listen, and then a third. And now I’ve played it a half dozen times and I really like it a lot. I struggle to explain it to others but I just like it. It feels dreamy and intense at the same time.
Any Random Kindness by Haelos is one that I play for my wife and she just loves it. This is the best trip-hop I’ve heard since Massive Attack. The whole album is just great and good music for socializing.
And finally, a single, and a cover: Young Americans by Durand Jones & The Indications. There is a popular trend right now of calling back to the 70’s and it is at play here. And I love it!
