47/14 - I Declare It A New Age

I think this is a really good list. Of course I think all my lists are good. But this one just gelled in such a poignant way. I think.


Public Enemy - Prophets of Rage

#Ferguson


Keren Ann - In Your Back

Strong sadness. Delicate fleshy arrangement. A self. An other. A strain but then a reassertion.


Modest Mouse - Parting of the Sensory

Some day you will die and somehow something's going to steal your carbon!


TV on the Radio - Could You

Well could you? COULD YOU? Hm, I doubt it. Love this though. The hornssss.


Scott Walker + Sunn O))) - Herod 2014

In the basement studio, late at night, Scott directs the atmosphere to a dark, dark place. It's albums like this that renews my faith in art. Even though they "refuse to be blinded by Rubens or Poussin"... Everything is just so, so great and powerful. The lyrical juxtapositions, the eerie screaming sounds, the slow slow guitar riffs... Oh and apparently she's hidden her babies away.
