The Kassem sounds ideal this AM.

i hate it when albums/EPs come with an oblique number in the title as I generally assume it's number 19 in a series
it was

the 19th release on the workshop label, that is

that Kelis album had one track "Fish Friday?" totally grab me in the listen-to-noms phase, I should give it a listen

fantastic album artknow nothing about this, but two tracks in and it's sounding awesome
― nxd, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:17 (nine years ago) link
Cinnamomum Parthenoxylon and Leucadendron Argenteum are highlights for me, though the album in its entirety is sumptuously blissed-out sonic foliage for the spirit.

Oh nice one! Given me hope for Menace Ruine,Yob, Agalloch, Electric Wizard and Scott 0))) now

Lush guitars on this. I like it. Only heard after the metal poll so I haven't had much time with it yet.
― jmm, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:24 (nine years ago) link
Just 49 points separating all the albums so far

It's only a hair away from Deafheaven but for some reason I find this a lot more striking.
― jmm, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:26 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I like it way better than any Deafheaven I've heard

Botanist is the guy who makes metal on a giant dulcimer right? I've heard some of it and it's quite interesting as a curiosity, but how does this differ from his other work?
― diss strychnine (dog latin), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:31 (nine years ago) link
My first vote to place! #16 on my ballot. Absolutely stunning record, heavy and gorgeous, nothing like Deafheaven because he can write melodies and songs. A brief read of the concept behind the artist is quite elucidating too.
― ear sirrom (imago), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:32 (nine years ago) link
Bit underwhelmed by Workshop 19 - I only play the B3 off that one.
workshops 1 and 6 are killer!

If it contributes towards general wellbeing its totally ok to play in the woods too

kassem mosse! another of my votes. immaculately produced headrush techno, platonic ideal of what i want to stay up all night dancing to. yeah it's anonymous and has no use for you if you're not a clubber but this is not my or his problem― lex pretend, Tuesday, January 27, 2015 8:54 AM (34 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Haha, I tried to get into this album late in December by listening to it with headphones on while falling asleep, and ... no.
― Tove Lo Tove You Baby (jaymc), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:32 (nine years ago) link
I say 'heavy' - it is - but it is not crushing - rather, monumental
― ear sirrom (imago), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:33 (nine years ago) link
Haha I think it was #16 on my ballot as well

re Botanist
foliage for the spirit.
between this and the name and cover I risked a quick play.
oh no, a trojan horse:(
― saer, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:35 (nine years ago) link
Ah, so it's lush dulcimer, not lush guitar?

im enjoying this freddie gibbs and madlib, havent listened to anything madlib in so long but he is still good, his productions always have such a nice sound

black metal harshness dialed back on flora relative to past efforts. i'm glad to see it show up, though it wasn't one of the year's standout metal albums for me. prefer installments III and IV tbh.
― A Severus of Snapes (contenderizer), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:38 (nine years ago) link
I was similarly misled, this cover is completely incorrect and should be changed by trading standards. it's true about madlib though

I'm sorry, I should have qualified that this foliage was less that of deepest woodland and more heathered clearing... I'm sure there'll be something on here for you. Maybe.

Almost got distracted thinking about this album, but have sprung free from the foliage and just about made my train

Kew Gardens metal also a description I will borrow

i prefer botanist when less about the astral blissout, more some creepy little wrigglers in the underbrush

this is another album with a number, sadly.
― diss strychnine (dog latin), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:51 (nine years ago) link
I reckon VI is all about the astral creepy wrigglers blissing out in the undergrowth tbh
Latin numbers, too!
― ear sirrom (imago), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:53 (nine years ago) link

'astral blissout' is really one of the highest modes music can achieve

― nxd, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:56 (nine years ago) link
I probably wouldn't think to associate this with botany without the many cues, but I like the idea of black metal devoted to small organic forms rather than, what seems to be more typical, the sublime on a grander scale.
― jmm, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:57 (nine years ago) link
it's a cool concept. like swamp thing meets hammered dulcimer meets black metal. i will def check this new album out.
