that's kind of cool

I mean it is if you like Earth.

It's kinda cool.

(Okay honestly I wasn't sure whether or not to just make this thread or a "2011 in music" one. That would probably be better)

I'm not good with puns, Tommy.

De_El · « **Reply #4 on:** 03 Dec 2010, 08:50 »

woo, Earth. I hope there's less silly "melodies" and such, I mean god what's Earth coming to

The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull is my favourite thing they've ever put out, and that makes me less of a pussy than anybody who bones out over Earth 2. Look into yr heart, you know it to be true. TBMHITLS is a monster of an album. If anything it is more about pure tone and the nasty sounds a guitar can make than straight drone stuff. It's really fascinating to start picking up the subtle nuance present in the way each run through the languid, repeating guitar lines is phrased, sometimes being allowed to feed back ever so slightly, now with vibrato, and so on. In other words, I am very much looking forward to this. The name-drop of Tinariwen is pretty interesting as well.

What? There are people who don't like "The Bees.."?.... That seems weird because in my social circles and also the metal forums that I'm into that album is worshiped.

New Earth > Old Earth tbh... I mean... I love both, but Earth 2 just can't win against albums like HEX or The Bees, also... I want to say that the new album's artwork SUCKS, there... I said it.

If this is going to be the 2011 music thread, Tom Fischer said in an interview that he hopes to have the next Triptykon album recorded and released by the end of next year

Oh and you guys have seen their music video, right?

Stoked for this. I only recently found out that Kurt Cobain is on a song on Extra-Capsular Extraction - I find that hilarious.

Divine & Bright? Awesome track.

Lupercal · « **Reply #14 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 01:39 »

Along the mainstream road, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Halen and Foo Fighters have new LPs out next year.

Personally I'm quite looking forward to the next Portugal. The Man record. 2011 shaping up to be a good year.

Patrick · « **Reply #15 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 01:50 »

Portugal. The Man and I could get along if they'd just switch it up once in a while. Fuck man, I know they can groove it up hard, their early stuff is pretty rad! So why haven't they for the last couple of albums? Don't become Weezer so soon.

valley_parade · « **Reply #16 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 05:48 »

I think I saw Portugal The Man open up for CTTS several years ago.

I don't remember what they sound like.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #17 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 10:15 »

all i want is a new Man Man record

i thought we might get one in 2010 but no nothing

*fingers crossed*

Christophe · « **Reply #18 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 10:19 »

Police Teeth's third LP, "Awesomer Than the Devil" is coming out in Spring 2011. Once it hits I might as well not wear pants for the rest of the year.

AGAIN? American Ghetto was pretty good, but come on. I have to admit though, it's pretty impressive that they're releasing stuff at this rate and that it's all been at least decent.

Really excited for the new Gorguts, This Will Destroy You, and Mogwai records, as well as the Kanye/Jay-Z collab. Also, I'm pretty sure we can expect records from Aphex Twin and and M83 in 2011, so I'm stoked about that.

Not really likely, but maybe Anata and Circle Takes the Square will finally release their stuff. I know with Anata, at least, it mainly had to do with label issues.

valley_parade · « **Reply #20 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 12:15 »

The one track I've heard off the upcoming Mogwai album was pretty rad stuff.

According to his website Devin Davis's new album is no longer definitely coming out in 2007! He's actually working on it right now and hoping to release it soon! Nothing would make me happier.

Tom · « **Reply #23 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 15:16 »

New British Sea Power in January, it's called Valhalla Dancehall and it's out on New Years Day.

Have you checked out the "Zeus" EP from a month or two ago? Not sure if it has a physical form or if it's download only.

Tom · « **Reply #27 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 19:09 »

First I've heard of it; downloading it now. What did you make of it?

Tom · « **Reply #28 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 19:43 »

It's so unfocused and self-indulgent that I just keep losing interest. I am now worried about the state of their new album.

michaelicious · « **Reply #29 on:** 08 Dec 2010, 20:17 »

Is that album named after a Times New Viking song?

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #30 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 06:01 »

New Mogwai shenanigans. I haven't had a chance to listen to it as I'm at work, but yeah... http://www.nowness.com/day/2010/12/6/1179/thirty-century-man

Vuk · « **Reply #31 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 08:54 »

It's an edit of the album version, but still. I'm really excited based on Rano Pano and that song.

2011: The return of post-rock?

Tom · « **Reply #36 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 12:39 »

It didn't go anywhere, we got new DMST last year and it was ~~pretty~~ very good.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #37 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 12:50 »

Return? There have been literally dozen of great "post-rock" albums this year, just not from the small handful of widely known heavy hitters (MONO, EitS, Mogwai etc.)

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #38 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 13:34 »

Yeah, and 2010 is the year that GY!BE started touring again, and Silver Mt. Zion album, and and and.

Also, how the fuck does JD keep on spitting out so much stuff.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #39 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 13:50 »

Yeah I have 55 albums by the Mountain Goats alone on my computer, not to mention all the related projects he's been involved with in recent years. The guy's damn prolific. I guess most of his music is pretty simple and doesn't demand a huge amount of production but still he's gotta write all those songs. Craziness.

From that link that Dovey posted:

if you have ever watched say a 70s occult-scare movie where one of the scenes involves a couple of people visiting a storefront fortune teller, getting their cards read, and then trying to feel super-hopeful about what they hear when what they're visibly actually feeling is dread

I love that man.

2011: The return of post-rock?

Pretty much, I think. With two potentially amazing albums coming from Mogwai and This Will Destroy You, I think it could be a great year. I mean there have been some good ones in the past few years, but it's been a while since I heard a really good post-rock album.

Scarychips · « **Reply #42 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 14:59 »

Braids will be releasing their debut on January 20th. They have basically become my favourite band this year. Saw them live twice, and will be seeing them two other times in a month. They also recorded a Daytrotter Session. It's goddamn rad.

Tom · « **Reply #43 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 15:34 »

I always get immensely disappointed when I realise that those guys aren't Braid.

According to Wikipedia, Wire are releasing a new album January 11th

Since I heard Wire for the first time well, just now, that is really all I have to say about that

Haha, this is what I was just thinking. Someone brought them up in the "shows" thread, and I got the impression that Braid were somehow playing a show, and got all stoked. Oh well.

Me too, especially because there's the chance that it's a direct reference to the name of Slayer's most recent album.

KaosPilot · « **Reply #48 on:** 12 Dec 2010, 10:32 »

I'm looking forward to Wild Flag hopefully getting their debut out. Also new Mogwai and (hopefully) Low.
