Arnold Dreyblatt & Megafaun's Appalachian Excitation. It's got four pieces--one dirgey thing, one droney thing, one groove-based thing, and one thing that sounds like country Television--and apart from the hippie dishwater liner notes from the ubiquitous Jim O' Rourke, I'm liking it all. It really seems to be in touch with something, if you know what I mean. Maaaaan.
I also really like the Darkside Psychic record. It's become fashionable to drop late-period Talk Talk as a reference, but a lot of the records tagged thusly--Shearwater, These New Puritans, whoever--mostly miss Talk Talk's commitment to a particularly modern pulse; those groups get caught up in the hush and the space and the stately piano chords, and end up spending long stretches rattling dully in their chambered preciousness. I feel like Psychic is a much more successful, compelling, and truer extension of that sound.
Not real-real new, but I like what I've heard from the Eric Copeland record. Sounds kinda like Arca for people who don't go out, which is a pretty good fit for my lifestyle. I haven't heard the whole thing yet, though. I probably oughta do that.

Very nice. I like that 80s saudade. Someone needs to tell the one batmon to check out dude's "Boot Hill." He'll either love it, hate it, or think it's just okay.
I'm pulling for Ducktails' Wish Hotel EP. I don't know what it's like where you are, but it's fall here.

Hidden under leaves
no one will see
so you might as well
stay there
It's easy to lie down
invisible
to the neighbors outside
Watch the lawn get mowed
by the old man
who lives across the street
Kids wearing tie-dye
shirts bicycle
to the school track meet
If you know, you know. For anyone who ever asked her if she couldn't maybe come down a day earlier.

One of my favourite Mos Def beats, I really like this, and he even gets rid of the race politics :wow:
Finally released - some other guys did an inferior version (perhaps they too were frustrated at waiting for Falty DL's to drop) that came out last week and I guess that release may have forced his hand.

A few months old now, but I just got it in a small parcel, so it's new to me: The Samps' Macrochips And Microdips.
I was worried this was gonna be more of that post-Dilla, Flying Lotus-type glitched-out shittiness that wants so badly to sound like the future of something, but am pleasantly surprised to find out that this instead sounds like one of those good Saturdays you used to spend record shopping, where your vague sense of where all the music comes from and your vague sense of what you might end up doing with it later kinda braid together to make the present moment nice and crisp. You can't keep it, but man, it's nice to have.
Plenty of slabbed West Coasty fat-fat (big chunks of Slave, those "Bounce, Rock, Skate Roll" hits, et al.), but here and there shot through with melancholy and genuinely affecting melodic throbs that sound like what you think you might feel like when you find out that Christine McVie has died.
It is dead-dog November here in Chicago, and is shaping up to be one of those days where I don't take my shoes off until bedtime. This record is working on that nicely.
