xp i think that's otm, youtube def played a role in my love of the album. not sure if i'd like it as much just on its own.

Much prefer listening to an actual phin than what Khun Narin is doing tbh. This just reminds me I should've nominated that Soundways comp.

Honest was okay for me! Just not earth-shattering or enough of a standout to vote for it or any singles.

Here's a couple of the links to street videos of the Khun Nariin band doing their thing:

Johnny Fever good call on Justin Townes Earle way back.
― campreverb, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:44 (nine years ago) link
album could go on forever tbh
That album sounds like the skeletons of deep, percussive house jams and it's amazing.
― The Reverend, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:44 (nine years ago) link
Cool. I wasn't even aware he had an album out this year.

Theo Parrish - Fallen Funk

yes theo!!!
"be in yo self" is stunning, whole album is - still enjoying getting into it, it's barely a month old
― lex pretend, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:49 (nine years ago) link
i like his shirt on the cover too
― lag∞n, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:52 (nine years ago) link
shirt/hat/beard combo is excellent
― The Reverend, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:53 (nine years ago) link
it is one long-ass album, still digesting it myself
― why you gotta be so rmde (NickB), Monday, 26 January 2015 19:54 (nine years ago) link
Slight pet peeve, but "I don't like j-pop", like "I don't like American pop", doesn't mean anything.
― abcfsk, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:54 (nine years ago) link
People who dig Khun Narin's mixture of 'world' music and psych could do worse than check out The Dur Dur Band release from last year. Not really the same thing at all, but I really like this.

more like Water Treaders
― sleeve, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:05 (nine years ago) link
i love that cover to bits but have never got anything else about this band
― why you gotta be so rmde (NickB), Monday, 26 January 2015 20:06 (nine years ago) link
Nah, this was a good record...best one since Twin Cinema...but in the end I realized I just didn't care as much now as I did ten years ago.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:06 (nine years ago) link
OK back to Theo then. The tracks linked above are all seriously good. Is it all programmed? Painstaking stuff if so.
― Jeff W, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:07 (nine years ago) link
Ha! I'm lukewarm on this album, but I've seen plenty of good to great live shows by them. The anti-indie hatred here seems kind of outdated, and not a little creepy.
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:07 (nine years ago) link
I could hang with a full disc of Theo (listening now), good stuff.
― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 26 January 2015 20:08 (nine years ago) link
Surprised to see 2 first place votes. Good album, but spotty. Best of the year?
― Indexed, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:09 (nine years ago) link
Wait did that Theo Parrish album come out really late in the year or just with minimal fanfare? I missed it completely.
― Matt DC, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:09 (nine years ago) link
Have to admit when I saw that cover I was like "oh word Common made the list?"
― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 26 January 2015 20:09 (nine years ago) link
man I hadn't paid NP much mind after Twin Cinema but this album really sucked me back in and I am super regretful I didn't see them when they toured
― Jennifer 8.-( (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 26 January 2015 20:10 (nine years ago) link
Cher Lloyd was my summer (should have been everyone's) and I'm overjoyed she managed to outshine her debut. Haven't even given Theo Parrish that many spins yet, but he quickly transcended artists I've been playing all year. The Warpaint album sounds great, but not much else to it.
― jay., Monday, 26 January 2015 20:11 (nine years ago) link
I caught NP on the tour around the time of their debut and it kicked alllllll kinds of ass - that period (debut + TC) was when they were at their peak. Since then? There have been....moments of greatness.
― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 26 January 2015 20:11 (nine years ago) link
This Theo album is pretty great so far. Hadn't heard of it prior to voting...I can see how it would have shaken up my list a bit.
Definitely agree about that Dur Dur Band album. Doesn't sound anything like Khun Narin but really great.
― Non-Stop Erotic Calculus (bmus), Monday, 26 January 2015 20:12 (nine years ago) link
will never forgive TNPs for the youtube war on the east coast ads
― ||||||||, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:15 (nine years ago) link
OK I had tuned out the NPs since twin cinema as well but this is sounding very good as of track 2
― ciderpress, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:15 (nine years ago) link
voted for this one, thought it was surprisingly strong
― Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Monday, 26 January 2015 20:16 (nine years ago) link
brill bruisers is a big step down from their peak but still has 4 or 5 really great songs.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:17 (nine years ago) link
the title track and the neko songs are all bangers but i could never find myself listening to it with any frequency after a couple times through
