[Flâneuse]

Vulnicura by Bjork
This is my favorite track of 2015.

M3LL155X by FKA twigs
This is probably my second-favorite track of last year.

A Moon Shaped Pool by Radiohead

 

[á´…eparted]

port-royal - Where Are You Now? (2015)

It's an amazing album from a massively underrated band.

U.S. Girls - Half Free (2016)

A really unique take on music. I can't really put it into one genre. Her voice is just so interesting! It sounds metallic.

I also wholeheartdly agree with @lumi on M3LL155X.

I would say AMSP is now my favorite Radiohead album although it's close to a tie with in rainbows

I have a tattoo of the Amnesiac minotaur logo on my ankle after seeing them at The Gorge. But OK is still hands down fav for me. I hope you get a chance to see them if you haven't.

RHCP Gateway is really great. First non Rubin production in like 25 years and they borrow a underlying musicality with earlier Radiohead that seems familiar. (even though RHCP are a punchline joke kind of band for a lot of people with good reason, it's a great album)

Maxwell's blackSUMMERS'night is great.

Sturgill Simpson A Sailor's Guide To Earth.

Voivod Post Society EP

---

I'll come back with more. Off the top of my head, this is what came to mind.

I can't go to concerts!

I can't go to concerts!

Why not?? Are you on house arrest?

 

[Doctor Cringelord]

Why not?? Are you on house arrest?

Anxiety around crowds.

 

[ChocolateMoose123]

Anxiety around crowds.

Oh. That sucks. :/

Have you ever tried outdoor venues? I like the open air. Doesn't feel so constricting. Get there late, keep to the back, then leave one song early? Cuts a lot of the crush out of it.

If you're feeling brave, that is.

U.S. Girls - Half Free (2016)

A really unique take on music. I can't really put it into one genre. Her voice is just so interesting! It sounds metallic.

I LOVE HER! My favourite song at the moment is Window Shades, can't tell you how many times I've listened to it!

THE PALE EMPEROR / MM

Really kickass songs on that album.

 

[Hawthorne]

The Colour In Anything by James Blake is full of mood vibers.

To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire

I'm saved by nature
But it always forgets what I need
I hope you'll stop me before I'll build a wall around me
We need a forest fire

You're thicker than you think
You know that money bought your name
Caution, swelling, can I repay you with some blame?

x Infinity by Watsky
This dude is my personal favorite music artist and this album came out like last week. It is so good. Favorite song on the album right now is Yes Britannia.

"Yes, I’ve been a mess
With the pressure the stress
See ya never, I guess
Nevertheless, finding you I was blessed
Swear I’m trying my best
Lion inside of
 my chest
Trying to claw his way out
Crack my ribs, pop my lungs
I don’t know if there’s a safe route
Now—we can cut this frayed
 rope
Or hope and wait us to fade" -from Yes Britannia

Watsky is an overall fantastic artist. I'm not even that big of a fan of rap music, but his music is just that powerful. Not to mention, he raps pretty fast. The intro of this album is a continuation of two songs from his second album, Cardboard Castles. Tiny Glowing Screens Part 1 is about technology and how it blends with culture, but Tiny Glowing Screens Part 2? Well, listen to it for yourself. (Words are in the spoiler)

"There's 7 billion 46 million people on the planet
And most of us have the audacity to think we matter
Hey, you hear the one about the comedian who croaked?
Someone stabbed him in the heart, just a little poke
But he keeled over 'cause he went into battle wearing chain mail made of jokes
Hey, you hear the one about the screenwriter who passed away?
He was giving elevator pitches and the elevator got stuck halfway
He ended up eating smushed sandwiches they pushed through a crack in the door
And repeating the same crappy screenplay idea about talking dogs 'til his last day
Hey, you hear the one about the fisherman who passed?
He didn't jump off that ledge
He just stepped out into the air and pulled the ground up towards him really fast
Like he was pitching a line and went fishing for concrete
The earth is a drum and he's hitting it on beat
The reason there's smog in Los Angeles is 'cause if we could see the stars
If we could see the context of the universe in which we exist
And we could see how small each one of us is
Against the vastness of what we don't know
No one would ever audition for a McDonalds commercial again
And then where would we be?
No frozen dinners and no TV
And is that a world we want to text in?
Either someone just microwaved popcorn
Or I hear the sound of a thousand people pulling their heads out of their asses in rapid succession
The people are hunched over in Boston
They're starting app stores and screen printing companies in San Francisco
They're grinning in Los Angeles like they've got fishhooks in the corners of their mouth
But don't paint me like the good guy 'cause every time I write
I get to choose the angle that you view me and select the nicest light
You wouldn't respect me if you heard the typewriter chatter tap tap
Tapping through my mind at night
The same stupid tape loop of old sitcom dialogue
And tattered memories of a girl I got to grind on in high school
Filed carefully on rice paper
My heart is a colored pencil
But my brain is an eraser
I don't want a real girl, I want to trace her from a catalogue
Truth be told I'm unlikely to hold you down
Cause my soul is a crowded subway train
And people keep deciding to get on the next one that rolls through town
I'm joining a false movement in San Francisco
I'm frowning and hunched over in Boston
I'm smiling in Los Angeles like I've got fishhooks in the corners of my mouth
And I'm celebrating on weekends
Because there are 7 billion 47 million people on the planet
And I have the audacity to think I matter
I know it's a lie but I prefer it to the alternative
Because I've got a tourniquet tied at my elbow / I've got
A blunt wrap filled with compliments and I'm burnin it
You say to go to sleep but I been bouncing off my bedroom walls since I was hecka small
We're every age at once and tucked inside ourselves like Russian nesting dolls
My mother is an 8 year old girl
My grandson is a 74 year old retiree whose kidneys just failed
And that's the glue between me and you
That's the screws and nails
We live in a house made of each other
And if that sounds strange that's because it is
Someone please freeze time so I can run around turning everyone's pockets inside out
And remember, you didn't see shit" -from Tiny Glowing Screens Part 2
