Mysterious band and one of my favs ever. “God Has Lips: Collected Recordings Vol.1” is the new album, their first release since 2010. This is that real shit I would like to listen to in a locker room before a game drinking blue gatorade dipping Skoal mint longcut kicking over garbage cans.
this album isn’t completely unknown, but i definitely never hear enough people talk about it. every single time i’ve told someone to listen to this album, they’ve come back with nothing short of love for it. i took a friend to see flyte, and he only knew one of their songs - he left saying, “THAT’S how i want to be as a musician. that stage presence, songwriting, etc.” - a big fan was born that night lol. i would literally show this band and this album to every individual person in the world if it meant it would get the appreciation it deserved.
@’s two releases to date are both fantastic, bringing back those freak folk vibes (a la dirty projectors, Joanna newsom, early AnCo) that I’ve been missing. I’ve been jamming this more recent one a lot lately and I love how they expand their LP’s sound with gloopy electronics without sacrificing their natural stank. Excited to see where @ goes next !!
Saw the Flaming Lips live last week and it was incredible. I've been listening to more of their 90s output recently. Also lots of Brian Wilson of course
Okay, I like ambient music – sue me. One of my favorite composers is a French electronic artist whose music I might describe as ethereal. It’s like soft-reverb-soaked, loop-based, nighttime-inspired melodic music. She’s prolific in the studio but rarely plays shows and doesn’t do a lot of press. Her side projects (Dj Lostboi and Belmont Girl) are just as interesting. If I were going to make a movie about eternity, I would have her score it.https://soundcloud.com/mmmmalibuhttps://soundcloud.com/belmontghttps://soundcloud.com/djlostboi
A tense comedy / tragedy about a guy who shaves his trademark mustache and no one remembers it was ever even there. Are folks fucking with him or is he losing his mind? A brilliant performance from Vincent Lindon. Genius.
I’ve been re-reading The Ancient Hours, a slim novel that locks itself into a trance of amusement for the dust that settles on townspeople following a devastating tragedy. The pace goes fast, the perspective steadily repositions itself, it’s fucked and funny and reminds me to keep my head on a swivel. Bible is a freaking king writer.
