What are not your top five albums from 2005, but your top five new discoveries (just new to you), personally I was dissapointed with ariel pink and blown away by releases by Chad Vangaalen, Great Lake Swimmers, Grizzly Bear, white magic, bloc party and mice parade (yeah I know I'm late on them)

I'll second grizzly bear... they're pretty new to me... it's a friend's boyfriend's band, weirdly enough. I was pretty surprised how good it was. Good enough actually to have bought on itunes and then to want the packaging and buy it at other music on my recent new york trip.

Outkast - Speakerboxx/The Love Below
Held off from getting this album but I saw it cheap in Tesco and thought what the hey. It's really good! I didn't realise how many songs I knew from it as I thought Hey Ya was the only single. What else has been released as singles from this?

Benzos are somewhere between Jeff Buckley and post-*Kid A* Radiohead.

― Broken Hipster (Broken Hipster), Monday, 17 January 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

nice about benzos, I'll have to check them out. awesome you liked that grizzly bear cd too. it's one of my favorites...to echoinggrov...that's a list of names I can't even come close to knowing, is there one in particular you'd recommend most?

― owen reading, Monday, 17 January 2005 23:40 (twenty years ago)

they're all so different. looking at your picks above, i'd say Turkish singer/songwriter Ortaçgil. his 1974 album Benimle Oynar Misin is just wonderful - sounds like a mash-up of the Boo Radleys' Giant Steps and Duncan Browne's Give Me Take You. or maybe Five Leaves Left and Luciano Cilio.
i haven't the slightest what he's singing about so sweetly, but the music is magnificent.

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Monday, 17 January 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

wow... you seem kinda of like the smithsonian of dusty discarded majesty.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 17 January 2005 23:52 (twenty years ago)

Everybody's talkin Grizzly Bear! Describe, please! (RS, above has gotten me into Gilberto Santa Rosa and Grupo Niche and many others Also a lot of good tracks by artists I've never heard of, on KILLTHE DJ (PT 2). Not nec. mixes, a fair number of whole originals from Optimo's hip record collection. No mixes at all on NICKY SIANO'S LEGENDARY THE GALLERY, but wholefood goodies from Exuma, Gloria Spencer, Bobby Womack, a cast of thousands.)OK, y'all's turn: tha word on Grizzly Bear?

Grizzly Bear

― Broken Hipster (Broken Hipster), Monday, 17 January 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

re: grizzly bear, i said earlier that it sounded like a woozier poppier animal collective, or neil young on ether or the new folk thing as interpreted by luis bunuel... but with drum machines and backwards loops and scratchiness and just a general sense that everything sounds the way the band it wanted to

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 17 January 2005 23:59 (twenty years ago)

err... the way the band wanted it to, rather

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:00 (twenty years ago)

is that in flagranti track on kill the dj? the remix by robag wruhmme (joakim edit) is one of the best remixes i've ever heard.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:02 (twenty years ago)

to don: they sound like a very melancholic, fragmented animal collective meets syd barret or something or rather. honestly they have their own sound. lots of tape hiss, weird sounds and TONS of harmonizing and vocals (that's my favorite part), as I mentioned on the thread about them, they are best heard on headphones, don't expect to be instantly blown away as you listen on your computer speakers, they are total growers, if you give it a shot and like, mellow sort of dream like folk then with time you'll like it, if not, you may find it a bit too hushed....

― owen reading, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:14 (twenty years ago)

I've seen this band called The Blind Shake from Mpls, they are great.

I am veering violently between preserving and destroying all acoustic guitars at present. (All synths must be preserved, however.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:21 (twenty years ago)

c'mon ned... there's a couple bad synths, aren't there? i don't know if i can think of them at the moment, but surely... in addition to that, a few people should be allowed to keep acousitic guitars... maybe 100 people...

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

Long live acoustic synthrock!

― Broken Hipster (Broken Hipster), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:33 (twenty years ago)

hey echoingrove wz just doing google searches on yr list...what's kalevala like? I only got info on the finnish poem, they sound like current 93 in other words like stuff that I'd have a weakness for.

what's the xenis record you got?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

c'mon ned... there's a couple bad synths, aren't there?

Their very existence still seems to cause apoplexy in a certain mindset, so that's alright by me!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:35 (twenty years ago)

Kalevala is a Finn (obv) band that started out as Vietnam (eh?). debut People No Names (1972): jammy psych/prog which makes wonderful use of acoustic and Leslie-d gtrs and Finn-folky themes. i'd compare this album to peak Man or Kebnekajse - if not for the theatrical Viking vocals; and the jazzy electric-piano runs; and the floaty ballads. Boogie Jungle has a different vocalist (sounds like a vibrato-less Roger Chapman), adds Moogs and mellotron, rocks harder and more angular-ly - a Zappa influence? - and flirts rather gratuitously with funk. i prefer the first album, but it's a two-fer (boot?) CD. so no complaints. Finland breeds the best freaks.

no particular Xenis Emputae Travelling Band opus stands out for me. i've been absorbing all, up through the new split (which i haven't heard yet), and i've concluded that Phil Legard has as singular a gift for channeling the music of nature as any of the 'Antlers.

I'm happy I've finally made a small (very small) dent on ILM re: salsa.

― RS £aRue (rockist_scientist), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 01:02 (twenty years ago)

russian futurists, kaki king, anthony & the johnsons, left banke, and lots of those ILM top singles I missed when they came out(namely all of them)

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 01:02 (twenty years ago)

Kaki King is excellent. was wary of the hype but newest album convinced me. have you heard Shawn Persinger yet?

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 01:04 (twenty years ago)

i'm going to check out a bunch of your recommendations echo, i look forward to them...hopefully finding their mp3s online wont be too hard...if you haven't you should check out some of the bands I mentioned in the intial post. thanks again for the tip!

― owen reading, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 01:06 (twenty years ago)

hope you find something you like, owen. e- me if anything proves too elusive. i suspect Clockbrains might be your thing - scruffy psychedelic pop/rock, like early Quasi or a bastard branch of the Olivia Tremor Control tree?

your turn, now. tell me about Chad Vangaalen and Great Lake Swimmers?

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

xpost no never heard of S. Persinger. I like Kaki King cos her music seems so...alert or something, intelligently probing for new timbres and structures. I haven't heard much else like it.

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 01:27 (twenty years ago)

i just discovered echo and the bunnymen. a little slow to the punch (i know). i got 'ocean rain' today. it's grbt. i also got built to spill's "there is nothing wrong with love." it's grbt. and the new stars. also grbt. yeah for christmas certificates!

― Cameron (raygun), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 04:18 (twenty years ago)

xpost "Il Flagrante" isn't on the version I have. Maybe it was on Part One? Thanks, but seems like Kalevala might be more my cup of meat than Grizzly Bear's likely to be.

― don, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 05:03 (twenty years ago)

Deerhoof (I'm late, I know)

i only came to them recently as well. i'd only heard 'flower', which hadn't inspired me to check them out further, when in fact so much of their stuff is hella pretty.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 05:08 (twenty years ago)

I got a copy of Reveille, which is pretty impressive.

Ya Ho Wha 13. I'd heard about this a while ago but just picked up "The Operetta" for cheap last weekend. Also a local group (Montreal) called Some Trees, which is about 1/2 of Rivers and Mountains as far as I can tell. I don't think they've released any recordings yet.

― superultramega (superultramarinated), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

Oh shit, the first post said "2005." I thought this was about what new stuff we discovered last year. Damn, what have I discovered this year? I guess I've just mainly been listening to the same stuff as Nov./Dec. '04...

Helgoland! Instrumental german band. Some fast, short rock tunes. Crunchy guitars and theremins. Other tracks sound a bit like Sabres of Paradise (particularly Haunted Dancehall), others are minimal electronica. Not to be confused with Melbourne's Heligoland.

Opeth - Blackwater Park !!!!

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 20 January 2005 19:30 (twenty years ago)

Opeth is really great. I wonder if anybody on this board who is more knowledgable about metal knows anything about their next album. Someone told me it's going to be black metal with just two tracks, each about half an hour.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Thursday, 20 January 2005 20:56 (twenty years ago)

I don't know - I just discovered them through this album. Any recommendations on which to get next?

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 20 January 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

well... odd, but i had never heard the misfits. i hated the logo for a while and then yesterday i saw someone with a misfits shirt and thought, 'maybe the log's not so bad.' so i d/l'd some stuff and lo and behold, i like the misfits.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Thursday, 20 January 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

who are opeth and what do they sound like, i'm curious!

― owen reading, Thursday, 20 January 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

I think they are usually labeled as progressive death metal. They alternate between the growling, throaty death metal singing and regular singing. They tend to play very long songs that have many different sections that cleverly connect. They have chops galore. They alternate between balls-out riffage and more dreamy acoustic passages. Um, does that give some idea?

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 20 January 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

it does. thanks. I'm afraid that's not my thing really, but I'm glad you cleared that up for me. thanks

― owen reading, Thursday, 20 January 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

No problem.

Opeth - Still Life

Hey, thanks - I somehow managed to overlook all those Opeth threads the first time around.

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 20 January 2005 23:15 (twenty years ago)

Not to be confused with Melbourne's Heligoland.

who are also brilliant, and have an amazing second album coming out soon..

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Friday, 21 January 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

Also with Opeth - see Morning Rise, their second LP i think. My favourite due to it being the soundtrack for winter driving around Europe back in, oh, 1997. Still Life too is great, and maybe closer to the Blackwater Park sound.

― PiersT, Friday, 21 January 2005 01:51 (twenty years ago)

Neil Young - Harvest

― Sean M (Sean M), Monday, 30 May 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

i'd like to discover harvest right now. it will never be as good again as for the first couple of listens. i think it is an album of diminishing returns. the more you try to get into it, the more it turns itself away from you. hopefully i am wrong. i haven't listened to it for ten years or something. and i am kind of afraid to listen o it again 'cause i fear the disappointment.

Sister Sledge - We Are Family

Most people blow them off as crap for their one hit song, but nobody realizes that they did two records with The Chic Organization. We Are Family was their first record with Chic and the better of the pair. Slsk Lost In The Music for a very clear example of what I am talking about. The entire album isn't solid and suffers from a few bad ballads like a lot of the commerical disco records of the time, but there are also a few lost nuggets on there as well.

Avoid their second Chic collaboration Love Somebody Today, it is a lot more slick and commerical without any standout jams that make the first one worth tracking down. It is more pop oriented and less disco.

I also picked up a copy of Valerie Simpsons first solo Tamla LP from 1972. She was a Motown staff writer who later when on to have hits as half of Ashford and Simpson. This LP is kind of a weird blend of female singer song-writer songs run through a motown filter. The production and playing is georgeous, and she has a very pretty hi-pitched voice. It isn't hipster fodder, but if you are looking for a nice sunday-morning-with your-girl record, this is it.

The Chi-Lites greatest hits on Brunswick. Jesus H. Christ, records like this are why God gave you ears.

The Sun Palace - "winning/rude movements" 12" which I have been playing on repeat a lot lately which has layers on layers of originality and complexity and just keeps on giving. The kind of disco record that makes me weep for the reductiveness of modern dance.

Smoosh (I'm glad kids know how to make awesome, sustainable music again!)
Gustav (the best German elepop album of the decade? I doubt I'll find better out right now, and anyone else would be very lucky to somehow better 'We Shall Overcome')
Charlotte Hatherley
Wonderful (why couldn't they merit a thread instead of their woefully repetitive labelmates/day job U.S.E.? Imagine Cornelius doing Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks ballads for an entire record)
The Shortwave Set and Cagedbaby's impending albums (after they both disappeared after the brilliant 2003 debuts - the latter's remix work notwithstanding - I sacrificed goats to see them make more records, and they are both top 5 certs, possibly as a result)
Van Dyke Parks - Song Cycle (at last)
Neil & Iraiza - New School (also took its time, but this is brilliant. There are some great moments where they fold r'n'b back into rock'n'roll and there are some excellent elctronic touches)

Hit Music Only - A Heavenly Pop Hits comp
http://home.swipnet.se/~w-67927/poph01.html
That's the tracklisting, sets a really interestingly settled mood. It's a great comp. I probably shouldn't do this but these are two songs that've been uploaded on my server:
http://home.comcast.net/~audgz/PA-LucyE.mp3
http://home.comcast.net/~audgz/Sharks-SU.mp3

The Go! Team Live on KCRW really suprised me. I listened to their record once or twice, but still am admittedly unfamiliar with their output. And there were two songs that I unfortunately cannot name, but both of which made me feel as though I was thoroughly displaced by a beautiful barrage of music. and it felt great.

And funny enough, there's already a mention of this upthread: After shopping around, I finally acquired Friendsound - Joyride LP. Sounds excellent to me and I wouldn't mind hearing this twice. three times. repeatedly.

Oakley Hall: The new album Second Guessing sounds like John Doe and Exene spent a "lost weekend" in Nashville bars, met some underemployed local musicians, and got rootsy.

xpost they were great live at the El Rey a few months back, apparently greatly improved since a couple years ago according to a derisive ILM Go! Team thread I dug up...
xxpost(Oct.) I saw Feathers play last night opening for Vetiver, the only opening act that brought it imo(I missed Gwendolyn tho, in case she's reading this. what up boo!).
