AOTY - The Drones - I Sea Seaweed

When I heard the first single, How to see through fog, I thought they'd gone after a new sound, adding a full time pianist/keyboardist and sounding a little more approachable. But once I acquired the album, I realised that this is The Drones at their absolute best, the keys adding the perfect atmosphere to their music that takes them further than they've been before.

A moat you can stand in is an electrifying return to the punk influences of the band, with Gareth Liddiard's poetry always driving each song with attitude, belligerence and a certain philosophy.

I've tried many times in the past to share the magical energy of The Drones with you fags, always to no avail. (Except for Ken loving Gareth's solo album) Hey, maybe it just doesn't float your boats. Fair enough, but I don't reckon any if you have even given them a chance. I'm such a fucking fanboy right now.

Anyway, I leave you with the albums two biggest highlights, Nine eyes and Why write a letter that you'll never send.

Okay I'm finally listening to this post. Had it open for a week.

Really not my thing at all, but I'm giving it all a whirl anyhow!

EDIT: With just some casual clicks this is one of those bands that I'm not really digging, but definitely understand the appeal. That means it might warrant further investigation, one never knows!

EDITx2: Punk rock Neurosis. Love the lyrics. Hmm I say, hmm...

I think many here would enjoy this actually...

"I had the idea to write songs for a jazz band that had elements of Black Sabbath, the Cure, Jaco-era Joni Mitchell, and free jazz. I intentionally made the free playing and the composed sections less compartmentalized. The idea is to have a really great sounding rhythm section that can stretch out and make music spontaneously, and naturally together. Sand is a jazz band, but it reflects the different things I grew up on and listen to; It reflects the fact that I am playing jazz, but that I wasn't born in 1945." – Dylan Ryan
Featuring his volatile, Los Angeles-based trio Sand, 'Sky Bleached' is Dylan Ryan’s debut album under his own name, but the insistently exploratory drummer isn’t a new face on the professional music soundstage. A bandstand veteran who’s spent the past decade collaborating with an array of galvanizing musicians across a wide array of creative scenes, he’s probably best known as the catalyst behind the pugnacious prog-jazz sextet Herculaneum. That’s likely to change with Cuneiform’s release of 'Sky Bleached', a stunning, guitar-drenched slab of visionary, 21st century jazz informed by pop culture and 3rd millennium fusion.
A key force in the avant-rock project Icy Demons, and half of the psychedelic electronica power duo Michael Columbia, the Chicago-raised Ryan has also toured with Omaha indie rock legends Cursive and regularly works with Los Angeles electro-world-pop outfit Rainbow Arabia. Boasting a sonic vision that stretches to the far horizon, 'Sky Bleached' draws on many of Ryan’s varied experiences, but Sand instantly establishes itself as wild and wooly creature in its own right.
Featuring Los Angeles guitarist Tim Young, a versatile player sought out by artists such as Fiona Apple, John Zorn and Beck, and bassist Devin Hoff, a recent LA arrival who’s toured and recorded extensively with the Nels Cline Singers, Xiu Xiu, and Good For Cows, the LA-based trio restlessly ranges between moods, textures and styles. For Ryan, the project provided an ideal opportunity for exploring contrasting, even antithetical impulses, juxtaposing introspective odes with aggressive anthems, artfully composed passages and impromptu flights.
With their love of jazz, metal, indie pop and numerous other styles, Ryan, Hoff and Young draw on a vast shared sonic vocabulary in Sand. In creating a fertile environment for the trio, Ryan fully utilizes Hoff’s gift for melodic invention, and Young’s imperturbable rhythmic drive. Whether exploring a melancholy soundscape or an ecstatic rave up, 'Sky Bleached' constantly subverts expectations with music that defies categories, and embraces all possibilities.

Dude, we are lazy fuckers. I am curious, but I don't want to be arsed to seek it out.

 

[Krilons Resa]

If I was a betting man I would venture to say that this will probably be the "Indie" album of 2013.



Way better than his debut album. Great atmosphere, good electronic layering, and Blake's voice is reminiscent of a cross between Nina Simone and DM Stith. Good shit.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Because the world needs another low-end heavy, "ghostly" R&B album

 

[Krilons Resa]

lol

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hmm....there's a reason why I am not a betting man.

Watched a Joe Cocker thing a few days ago.

Non-metal and non-sucky to the nth degree.

I'm 10 years behind metal, 30+ for other genres.

 

[Ellestin]

Hey Dicky, I suppose you might dig this band. They're Czech and consistently good and vaporous and shit.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Not usually into R&B, but this is really nice

News broke yesterday that DAVID BOWIE will be releasing a new album in March, his first in 10 years. The cover art is......... provocative, to say the least.

My emotions for this: :Smokin:

This whole time I thought you were joking about the cover art. I just saw it on Amazon. WTF?

 

[Krilons Resa]

This reminds me of the 90's...oh nostalgia.

 

[Ellestin]

I guess this is gay-pride-friendly enough for this thread

 

[refraction]

These guys kick ass live. They opened for Tame Impala and totally stole the show.

All around psychadelic/stoner rock awesomeness. They shared a stage with Hawkwind for fucks sake.This isnt off the new album but you get the point.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Arcade Fire / LCD Soundsystem / David Bowie

YES PLZ!!!!!!

 

[refraction]

This band kicks all manner of ass. Wonderful vintage sound and possibly the most diverse/different song Ive ever heard. Bonus fact: They rented a house in a rural area to use a studio for this album and stuffed it so full of equipment they had to camp outside at night.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hey, my cousin just released a new album...
