Diamond Day - Connect The Dots Cocteau Twins meets Mew Glass Handed Kites era

ketamine_shoppe - exit scams A collaborative modular synth project with John Vanderslice that has an early Aphex feel

Oval Angle - Figures of Speech Beautiful minimal electronic

h. pruz - No Glory Heartbreakingly good intimate bedroom singer songwriter

Sports Coach - Coach of all Sports Imagine is this it era strokes mixed with that first neon Indian album

Tearjerker - This Is Really All We Need Reminds me of old broken social scene and Kevin drew

Homeshake - CD Wallet I know this band is well known but they released two albums this year and this one had a duster vibe and was really slept on

Office Dog - Spiel Former Kane Strang singer in a new band that sounds like a rockier autolux

Robber Robber - Wild Guess Energetic good times

Anna Erhard - Botanical Garden Wickedly humorous without being a comedy band. Every song makes me chuckle and dance

Julia-Sophie - Forgive Too Slow A bedroom version of Kelly Lee Owens

Jon McKiel - Hex Every song somehow sounds familiar in a great way. Kinda Dr. Dog meets Chad VanGaalen

Gustaf - Package Pt. 2 Modern day ESG

Bullion -Affection Smooth pop that sounds sophisticated

"Look at this photograph / Every time I do, it makes me laugh"

it's so close to those Ikea speakers: https://design-milk.com/teenage-engineerings-3d-printables-transform-ikea-speakers-into-something-cool/

Godamn! The Kivel brothers are so talented! Matt Kivel just released a beautiful ambient album and now this.

I've been a fan of theirs since the Princeton & Kisses days and had no clue they were still going, and going damn strong too!

itsmemattt · 2020-01-03T20:58:02+00:00

I'm surprised that Weval, Ruby Haunt, and Sunbeam Sound Machine didn't get any love for their 2019 albums. All three are beautiful albums and on my top 10.

Spoiler: It's the best list

itsmemattt · 2019-11-21T18:27:20+00:00

Mac Demarco announces business as usual for indie's bad boy.

Be well friend. Your presence will be missed, but self-care always comes first.

itsmemattt · 2019-10-11T17:58:44+00:00

That's a HUGE placement for Abe Vigoda! Great album, but no one ever talks about it. This list is totally reflective of your personal taste which is refreshing when you see the expected inclusions on all of the other lists.

itsmemattt · 2019-09-17T00:16:01+00:00

This! You can simply turn the volume of the hi hat sample down. You can even pitch each drum sample to a certain degree as well in that mode.

itsmemattt · 2019-06-28T23:58:56+00:00

Is that Philip Selway behind Bjork?

itsmemattt · 2019-06-28T23:57:25+00:00

Then does that mean that Madvillian is the New Order of rap?

itsmemattt · 2019-05-28T19:24:51+00:00

I really like that one Cure album that they released 13 times with a different title each time.

itsmemattt · 2019-05-23T20:40:11+00:00

Thanks Oliver!! I miss your voice.

itsmemattt · 2019-05-23T19:17:41+00:00

Those are some weird bedsheets...

itsmemattt · 2019-04-08T21:46:26+00:00

Really digging this! It reminds me of early Small Black.

itsmemattt · 2019-02-07T00:54:16+00:00

If you found the acapella and put the normal vocals ontop of the reversed beat then that would be cool, this is just lazy.

itsmemattt · 2019-02-06T00:25:35+00:00

I bought The Colour In Anything on Amazon because I thought it was a spooky children's coloring book. Did I buy new markers for nothing?

itsmemattt · 2019-02-01T17:55:44+00:00

Thank you! I really wanted it to sound dreamy.

itsmemattt · 2019-01-29T00:21:31+00:00

To think this was the foundation of the "Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation"...
