Recency Under Review

1. Radiohead – The King of Limbs [Feb. 18]


R’head is under the influence of age skilled musician, marked by tired; gets jittery. If y’dunno by now, yer gone. Halt to the endless thiefs, let me join ye with these 3:



Track 5. Lotus Flower
Track 6. Codex
Track 8. Separator







2. Lykke Li – Wounded Rhymes [Mar. 1]


Surprising wavy psyche rock where user flows arms above and below as shown in videos. Esp. check tracks 1 and 6 for this effect. Try again if fails; chiller popper goes more intense. Quick, hit this:



Track 1. Youth Knows No Pain
Track 4. Unrequited Love
Track 6. Rich Kid Blues








Toro y Moi – Underneath The Pine [Feb. 22]


Disconcerting second effort. Try these; some excitement found but not the promise fulfilled from first release. The grooves go deep but the concepts notasmuch or so much growth from ‘em. Go ahead though:



Track 7. How I Know
Track 10. Good Hold
Track 11. Elise







d. Deerhoof – Deerhoof vs. Evil [Jan. 25]


Proceed with heavy, near-metallic feet. Enjoy this off the top of the dropper for it hits in rhythms on the tongue. Let electricity pour through the veins. Hold on tightly. Grip the followings:



Track 2. Behold a Marvel in the Darkness
Track 7. Must Fight Current
Track 10. C’Moon








e. Mogwai – Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will [Feb. 15]


My first attempt at their playing. Not a bad jam. In case you’re interested…


Track 7. George Square Thatcher Death Party
Track 8. How To Be A Werewolf
Track 9. Too Raging To Cheers














Too raging to cheers now that this is over. Happy Tuesdays y'all.
