Die Berge (LP)
Paysage d'Hiver
EXTREMELY COLD! This is one of my favorite black metal bands <3 This record is super atmospheric and ambient but still very intense. Very noisy. Very, very good.

1991 (LP)
Drop Nineteens
This is the first music they ever wrote! Finally on vinyl, it's their first 2 demos that they decided to scrap and they put out Delaware instead. Legendary low-fi shoegaze, in the vein of early Slowdive, finally seeing the light of day. Seriously, this is the real deal.

Lovely folk with completely absurd lyrics. Something about it though is just so charming I can’t help but to love it. Like a cross between Silver Jews, Daniel Johnston, and the National’s first album.

Realistic IX (CD)
Belong
Shoegaze underdogs return with new music for the first time in 13 years and it doesn’t disappoint! I’ve always thought this band’s sound was underappreciated; especially with the recent wave of shoegaze fanatics emerging everywhere. Imagine MBV doing coldwave and ambient music and you have these guys. Also be sure to grab the reissue of their album “Common Era” while you’re here.

The Moon and the Melodies (CD)
Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd
When a legendary dream pop group collaborates with a legendary new age composer, you get one of the best ambient albums of 1986. Nice to see this one reissued and remastered on both CD and wax. It’s a classic.

Geordie Greep
Channeling the likes of Sinatra, Zapa, Boredoms, and salsa music, Geordie’s debut album lives by its title. A jazz fusion from hell full of equally chaotic storytelling. It’s amazing! R.I.P. Black Midi…

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
I’m completely blown away by this album! For whatever reason it just clicked with me more so than any of their other recent works. Something about the delay on those guitar lines just hits so hard. It’s easily my favorite post-rock album of 2024.

I drifted away from Mogwai some time after “Rave Tapes”... but tuned back in for this album and, yup, they’re still a great band!

September 23rd (CD)
William Basinski
A piece that was originally recorded in 1982 but unearthed in 2024. It’s literally just 40+ minutes of a repeated piano line over spooky drones yet somehow it evokes so much emotion. Everytime I put it on I end up listening to it from start to finish which doesn’t happen often with long pieces like this. Only the disintegration loops master could pull that off.

George Clanton & TV Girl
The collab I didn’t think I needed until I got it. It just makes sense that vaporwave’s top dog would work with the current biggest indie pop band. And their individual sounds compliment each other so well; woozy but groovy. What a way to close out 2024.
