Clau Aniz - Filha de mil mulheresThere's a pretty clear line that can be drawn between this an Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising. Both are lush, largely analog and wood-like in feel/texture, pop music rooted deeply in 70s trends and acts; but whereas Blood's albums tend to favour more the sounds of Harry Nilsson or Joni Mitchell, Clau Aniz, native of Brazil, seems to evoke a fair bit of the MPB of Milton Nascimento and the particular jazz-rock brand of Luis Alberto Spinetta's mid-70s ventures, especially with Invisible's El jardín de los presentes. All in all this is a warm, nostalgic, quite tasteful throwback to this era, all with a certain dream pop/slowcore-tinged wistfulness about it as well. Can be seen as a bit of a musical equivalent of going through one's parents' slow-degrading photo albums of the time - in other words its cover seems quite apt.

Khalab - Black Noise 2084A very nice, hard-cutting, groovy slice of afro-infused UK bass. It all makes for a soundscape that is at once distinctly pluralist and combative and clashing, like a dystopian reimagining of Wakanda, in full realization of the conflict in its contrast to its starving, neglected environs. It slaps, that's all.

DjRUM - Portrait with FirewoodBlending lush post-minimalist passages and acoustic instrumentation with electronic beats, glitches and synth pads isn't anything new per se, we've seen as much in the past from Venetian Snares, Kashiwa Daisuke, Murcof, Susumu Yokota, and the list goes on. This album might not be bringing something new to the table, but what it does, it does so with plenty of finesse, fusing both elements in a manner that is as effective and resonant as any of the previous acts, and often lending itself so some rather transcendent passages. Quite lovely, all in all.

Khalab - Black Noise 2084 DjRUM - Portrait with Firewood Something tells me you've been looking at my RYM ratings. Maybe.

Debby Friday - BitchpunkThe cover says it all really. It's hard, it's sassy, it's punky, it's stripped down, and it's political, not just in its lyrics but in the sheer soundscape it manages to evoke. Like Khalab's Black Noise 2048 (though also very much unlike it in sound), it creates a feeling of discordant pluralism that seems to create as much of a contrast and divide as the plain black and white of the cover in the music itself. It's very much the sound of the social divide.

Okay now I'm scared. To quote the title character from The Assassination of Jesse James..., do you want to be like me or do you want to be me?

Holy shit, this is Sigur Ros!? It's the best thing they've done in probably two decades. It reminds me of Ben Frost, Tim Hecker, Roly Porter, or The Haxan Cloak. Hell at one point all sorts of oscillators and sequencers are making an absolute racket and it's basically the second half of Coil's "Red Birds Will Fly Out of the East and Destroy Paris in a Night". They may be jumping on the bandwagon train a bit late with this attempt at noisy "post-industrial" but to me it's the signature sound of the decade and I'm very happy to see them crush it. it's great to hear Jonsi still has a proper pair of lungs on him and the arrangements are archetypal-Sigur Ros, based on long build ups and massive crescendos but now with slabs of drones, psychedelic electronics, noise, and subterranean levels of bass.
I think the lower ratings on RYM come from people expecting the band's orchestral post-rock but I say this is an AOTY contender. Awesome.
