personally i'm addicted to eulogy for evolution - olafur arnalds
though i still don't think it's out where i live, and it may have come out in europe at the end of 2007. but still, i would gladly marry that album

I agree, it's a very beautiful album... I've heard that he's recording a new album right now  |

My favorite album of this year is either Fleet Foxes self-titled or Islands' Arm's Way.

If any of you haven't heard the Bon Iver album 'For Emma, Forever Ago' you really need to do something about that. It was self-released last year, but got a proper release this spring.

Bon Iver's album has been making its way onto my "Play Frequently" playlist. So. Good.

oh i saw bon iver a month or two ago. greeat show. fleet foxes is nice but it doesn't seem too stellar to me. i like beach house's devotion or wolf parade's at mount zoomer. i do have high hopes for entanglements though; i listen to something from safe as houses at least once a day.

The album feels far too safe by half and not as edgy as earlier stuff. I don't think it shows any musical progression. Still it is a Destroyer album and if it expands the audience that can't be a bad thing. My favorite track....Plaza Trinidad..keeps reminding me of Alice Cooper playing Herod in JCS, but that's not a criticism hmmph.  well, that's a bummer but i still haven't heard it yet so i'm gonna reserve judgement for just a bit. the true litmus test for me will probably come in a couple weeks when i get to see him performing the new material live (w/frog eyes!! yayyy!!!). |

It a comfortable safe album and I still hear Herod everytime I play Plaza Trinidad. |

My favorite so far this year is A Perfect Place by Mike Patton, followed closely by 13 Blues For Thirteen Moons by A Silver Mt.Zion. Also Johnny Greenwood's soundtrack to "There Will Be Blood" is awesome.

Sometimes I get a pre-release copy of a record, and I'm confounded. It's weird to listen to something unfinished but already know that it is a bona-fide 'classic album'.
Before this year I could only honestly say it about the Grizzly Bear record and the first Arcade Fire album. But this year I can name four albums that are coming out this fall that--well, not to be hyperbolic or anything--are going to change the way people listen to and make music.
Luckily for my German friends, three of these records are going to be on Tomlab. Parenthetical Girls, Simon Bookish and Skeletons. The Skeletons record, especially, is 'holy cow'. It sounds like Gastr Del Sol's "Camofleur" but if, instead of having Jon MacIntyre and friends kind of 'play' on the record, David Grubbs got everyone to Join The Band And Bring It. Absolutely my favourite new band.
And you all should've heard Song For Ellie Greenwich by now, and Simon Bookish just goes without saying. And the Max Tundra record is absolutely amazing.
Speaking of records, the EPs will be out before you know it. We haven't set a release date yet, but if I see you anytime in August, I'll have copies to sell you. I'll post some MP3s on a Myspace or the site or something in the next few days.
