The Seven Intellectuals in A Bamboo Forest.

I went round the Venice Biennale Arsenale section today for the second time, most of its complete tripe but I did like Yang Fudong's "The Seven Intellectuals In A Bamboo Forest". I would suggest watching all 2 hours of it if you get the chance.


Hood - Cold House

The Last in the series of "Albums I Love But Not Many People Have Downloaded So Why Don't You Give It A Try". Is Hood's Cold House. It is without doubt one of my favourite albums, a glorious mesh of glitchy electronica with space rock and experimentation  in huge amounts. Its cold, its delicate, its minimal, its desperate, its haunting, its everything you ever wanted.

Essential






Josephine Foster - Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You

Carrying on my present theme of Neo-Psychdelia and the New Weird America, here's an album I acquired on the recommendations of a regnyouth.com post a while ago. An album definitely for fans of Espers and Joanna Newsom, Foster gives us an amp-ed up and extremely inventive release the talented vocalist.






The Fiery Furnaces - EP

A B-sides collection of 40 minutes length which is stuffed full of great tracks, I didn't realise these b-sides into i read up about it. It could actually be classed as one of their best releases, full of pop and experimentation with indie/garage rock added in for fun. In all a really fun album and Highly Recommended.






The Rapture - Echoes

I had written a big review of this until I remembered the title track:

It has Cowbells

Essential

I've been downloading a number of albums you've recommended, and I just want to take the time to say THANK YOU! so very much!! I know it takes time to zip & upload files, and I really really appreciate it. a lot of blogs carry generic "indie rock" (whatever that is) but I love the diversity of sounds you've posted here. again, thank you =)

Thanks...

...for maintaining such a wonderful site. Your recommendations have been spot-on for me so far - well written to the point that I can discern what matches my tastes or not. If only other sites were as well-written! Cheers!
