I don't post here that often anymore (I should though...); but the new Strand of Oaks is shaping up to be a good one:

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Brilliantly lush power pop. Major Phil Spector vibes.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

<3 an Armenian lullaby, but a sad one that is forever tied to the genocide of 1915 where countless women had to bury their children. This ladies voice touches my "soul".

here is another more modern version.


"Go to sleep, my dear, close your eyes,
Let sleep rest upon your pretty eyes.

Sleep takes my sweet one.
Go to sleep now, and grant me sleep as well,
Holy Mother, grant my sweet one sleep."

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Love it. I've never even heard of this, but (early) Modest Mouse is one of my favorite bands and they must've been enormously inspired by this.

Recently dropped midwest emo album, with some mathy elements and some heavier screamo elements. I wasn't expecting much but a few tracks deep and I think I want to buy this one. The guitar work is so infectious.

Liked this a lot. What can't he do?

@Mort Divine this album is going to be really good.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Two of the greatest albums in the genre in one video. Human Emotions is a brilliant concept. The lyrics to "Suicide" are so fierce. Nobody writes 'em like Coe.

kind of a gem of an ep, was suprised to see only 42 ratings on rym

 

[The Ozzman]

Lots of people here hate this band. I don't. Whatever.

 

[no country for old wainds]

enjoying this one lately. brooding post-punk with major nick cave and gun club influence.

I don't hate them. Always meant to give them a proper shot, but I've always liked what I've heard.

Check out Fear of a Blank Planet and the Nil Recurring EP. Both from the same recording sessions.

Listening Genesis - Land of Confusion. Absolutely brilliant stuff.

Invisible Touch is pretty much a masterpiece and this is coming from someone who worships the early albums. Not to go all Patrick Bateman, but it really is great. The mega hits are the personification of perfect pop songwriting (the title track especially. Gets in your head like the girl it's about) while songs like "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Domino" and "The Brazilian" prove they never lost their more ambitious side. "In Too Deep" is one of the most lush 80's ballads and "Anything She Does" is such a great deep cut. Fight me, Collins haters.
