At last an album that I feel deseeves to go in here that hasn't been mentoned already:

Peter Wright - Snow Blind

I haven't actually heard it all yet, but what I have heard is fanfuckingtastic.

mi ami- watersports... special album!

yes but excellent! i saw them live two or three weeks ago and they're even better in concert. i felt compelled to buy the cd at the end of the show - i hadn't listened to it before, and i wasn't disappointed.
ECHO!! NO ECHO!! ECHO!! NO ECHO ECHO!!!

also the new as i watch you from a far album (northern irelands answer to explosions in the sky) is damn fucking shit good too.....

I'll check that

The Giuseppe Ielasi album, "Aix", is fucking good (glitchy stuff). So is the new Pterodactyl.

If they're an answer to EITS shouldn't they be called "A Punch in the Face" ? Because that's what EITS deserves.

Wow, hey syrfox, I love Giuseppe Ielasi. Didn't know anyone else was a fan.

C93's latest is awesome. I'm really enjoying the new "stoner" rock/psych direction.

Oh, and Sasha Grey is on it, which is pretty odd. Ah well, at least it isn't Antony!

I can't say I'm a fan, as I only know this album, I haven't heard his older works - yet. But I sure really enjoy this one

yeah sorry, that description was a bit misleading..i should have said eits really good album......

I'm listening to their first album right now and it sounds very Spacemen 3ish.

I just got Bonny Prince Billy's BEWARE, and for the most part, I think it's really good.

mi ami really is fucking phenomenal. there are very few noise rock bands whove referenced a world music sound and pulled it off with amazing results, sun city girls, and mi ami. about one million times better than black eyes was, even though black eyes was pretty good.

They've expanded their lineup and their sound in the meantime. Lots of interlocking percussion, but the basic blissout aesthetic isstill there. DoTS are a kind of rare exception for me, as their music really works in the major keys a lot and doesn't have much "darkness" to speak of at all, and yet maintains a saturated psychedelic vibe that is thoroughly enjoyable. I think these factors could ultimately make them a pretty popular act nationwide. Their music is both good and somewhat radio-friendly, which is a rarity indeed.

ajilvsga-blue crow is a headscratcher in the best possible way. nathan young, head of digitalis recordings, duo, really ominous and heady fucking psyhedelic noise/drone, really easy and great to get lost to. id take this over the absurd amount of not not fun drone casettes any day. tropical drone or whatever they wanna describe it, not a good musical idea if you ask me. i did enjoy that sun araw beach head lp though.

the new pterodactyl is REALLY fantastic

Yeah, I listed ajilvsga's white crow in mine. Didn't realize blue crow was out though. May replace my entry with "black mouth society", simply because it's longer. More is better. Look for a Robe./Ajilvsga split out by the end of the year on Peyote Tapes. Also got some other splits in the works but they're pretty secret for now...

now I have tons to listen -- thanks for this thread guys!

by the way, latest Alan Licht release is very, very good.

Hate you all :(

the jerkwave cassetes "black plague in mono" series is fucking phenomenal, i love this band he elks. that whole label is really great, lo fi synth punk has to be one of the greatest things ever.
