Ninth album from this long running dance-punk group, a collaboration-heavy affair that leans the heaviest into electro and hip-hop of their careers. This also contains a bonkers cover of R.E.M.'s classic "Man On the Moon", turning it into some sort of leftfield disco shuffle. On Warp.

<<< FAIR CONDITION >>> <<< FAIR CONDITION >>> <<< FAIR CONDITION >>>

Whatever the 1975 are, they don't feel fake. They have a faith in their listeners, & they make music intent on challenging the status quo. There's an earnestness & reality to their music that never flounders. WHEN YOU SLEEP is an epic, messy, gaudy, human, beautiful record that hits all the biggest Pop notes, while still leaning towards artsiness.

THE 80S/ 90S AEROSMITH HITS so many, so many hits

AESOP ROCK's first full-length for Def Jux is his fourth release (after Mush Records' "Float" and the self-released "Music for Earthworms" & "Appleseed"). ACE's style is all his own, with a free-jazz style to his rhymes. What this guy is talking about, I have no idea, but this record is excellent. Features production from AESOP ROCK, BLOCKHEAD, & OMEGA ONE. 2013 reissue.

Take the passionate,emotive sounds of say,HOT WATER MUSIC,SMALL BROWN BIKE,and/or CRIMPSHRINE & throw that into the ring with stripped-down acoustics with a marked political slant ala BILLY BRAGG...that pretty much sums up Florida's AGAINST ME. On NO IDEA records. OUT OF PRINT --- ONLY AVAILABLE ON CD

This is the second one from the L.A. based black metal/noise rock band AGRICULTURE. Heavy riffs & harsh vocals with nods at THOU & THE BODY & even some shoegaze moments ala DEAFHEAVEN.
