What are you listening to?

Saw Boris on Thursday and without a doubt, truly one of the best performances that I've seen from them. Despite Michio not present doing back up, the sound was wall crushing.
If You haven't listen to their new album noise, the studio version of Angel Has nothing on the sheer mass moving live version.

The opening band Subrosa blew me away. I was surprised that I've never heard of them till this show. They had me hooked right at the start. Great people too!

Went to this show in Detroit. Subrosa's use of electric violin is a refreshing take on the whole stoner/doom/sludge sound without being cheesy; The Atlas Moth's newer material was interesting; and of course, Boris never fails to deliver live. Atsuo is a one-man hype machine.

^ never thought I would like a remix as much as the original

Reminds me of this one, which is better than the original as well if you ask me.

550BC, glad you like gagaku - you might find these interesting as well. Here is:
the korean analogue of gagaku (aak ... but this piece might be hyangak, I'm not sure):

the vietnamese analogue (nhã nhạc):

an attempt at recreating the chinese analogue (yayue), which has been unfortunately lost:

After subsequent listenings [FKA twigs] definitely grew on me. I feel like the production is still a shadow of arca's to some extent, although it is still very strong.

Two Weeks or Video Girl are probably my favourite tracks on it.

Gave it some solid listening, apathy!, and it's one of my favorite albums this year. Arca's production, alongside Clams Casino, Emily Haynie, etc. gives Tahlia's voice suspenseful and dramatic counterpoint, and she immerses herself therein gorgeously. You're right to think "Two Weeks" and "Video Girl" are standouts, though "Pendulum" and "Give Up" also cut to the quick, and even secondary tracks like "Closer" and "Kicks" would be crown jewels in most any other debut album's collection. LP1, for me, fulfills hopes that her debut would be a proper statement -- it's not really an expansion on EP2, though she didn't need one (yet). Happy she exists.
