New Melvins album is probably the best I've head from them since the records made when Jarred Warren and Coady Willis were in the band.

Can't wait for Vincent...always such a joy to hear a new record from her. I genuinely like all her work, but, I think I prefer her when she's not adopting a new persona for the newest record, ala Bowie, and, this one feels more of a direct statement from her so far, not as distant, so, I'm really looking forward to it.

As an aside...Can I throw something else at you?

The new Messthetics album...

So...it's typically the rhythm section of Fugazi, alongside jazz/avant guitarist Anthony Pirog, and, they're incredible on the two prior records they've released so far, but, they've just recently put out an album in collaboration with saxophonist James Brandon Lewis, and...holy shit...it's freaking incredible.

Don't know if I'm telling you something you already know, but, please check it out.

Yeah, we have been discussing the Messthetics a lot on the fugazi thread! I need to check the new one out, i was a little bummed with a few things here and there but its worth more listens of course.

Just checking out this Messthetics album and 1 minute into the opener I am sold.

Good man. Cheers.

Loved her 2022 album, and this one really hits for me also.

Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it...
To bed without dinner for you, big guy.

oneway23 wrote:New Bill Frisell double album, Orchestras, is pretty great so far. Really enjoying it.

2 distinct live performances:

Disc 1 with his trio and the 60-piece Brussels Philharmonic.
Disc 2 is his trio will an 11-piece jazz orchestra.

Disc 1 is very beautiful and lyrical, but, it's also a bit buttoned up for me, at times (so far).
Disc 2 is much more exploratory.

Makes sense given the composition of each ensemble.

Just getting around to giving this a proper listen. Absolutely love it so far — “Rag” on the first CD (a favorite Frisell composition) sounds immaculate. I waited through that first couple minutes of improv just waiting for Frisell to launch into that riff, and was completely and delightfully caught off-guard when the orchestra did it instead. A+ stuff.

And after a few full days with Dark Matter, the sound of this record is like an ear massage. I feel like I can physically feel my eardrums relaxing as I listen.

This is awesome. I have no idea how I missed this one. Thanks for the heads up!

I can't remember, did you enjoy the previous records without the sax?

New Iron & Wine record out today - includes a collaboration between Sam and Fiona Apple that sits high in my list of favourite songs of 2024.

New High on Fire slaps and bangs. I mean, just listen to this shit!

This makes me want to ride into battle atop a mighty steed.

Don't know how Pike keeps churning out devastating riffs. The guy is a god damned machine.

Hopefully, we'll get a gift from the mighty Sleep this year.

The first record these guys did was excellent and this is equally good, if not better.

Not until I get a new Om album!

It's been way too long.

Already six years since The Sciences. My God.

But I really would love some new Om. I wonder what Cisneros has been up to?
