For those who like progressive dance music, Jody Wisternoff's "Trails We Blaze" (Anjunadeep) is really nice.  He's half of Way Out West with Nick Warren.  The album has the same pristine, beautiful production of Way Out West's "We Love Machine", but with a heavy summer vibe.  I've linked some tracks off of the album below:

(vocal tracks)
Out Of Reach (feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn):
Just One More (feat. Pete Josef):

(instrumental)
Babylon Calling (Original Mix):
Red Stripes:

I love the tunes, but is it overly compressed to you?  I don't know what it is, but something sounds off on the recording compared to her earlier albums.... maybe it's just me.

Hmm.. I haven't listened to this much in my main system, mainly just in my car and through my phone --> V-Modas, but honestly I didn't notice anything off too bad. It's certainly not as bad as most recordings I listen to though.

You're probably right, given.... http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/details.php?id=22468 

Upon another listen, it's the EQ across the album.  The bass seems bloated on a few songs with my travel setup - I'll have to see how it sounds at home.

And definitely +2 for Beach House.  You guys have great taste in music.

Some excellent music being discussed here. I really liked Teen Dream and Bloom is slowly resonating. Thanks for the Father John Misty and EL-P reco too Questhate. Good stuff!

No prob. If you liked the El-P, it's also worth checking out Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music album. El-P produced this album at the same time as Cancer 4 Cure, and they were released a week apart so the two records are sorta joined at the hip. Production isn't quite as dense and frenetic, and El-P uses a touch more jazz and soul samples, but it's definitely cut from the same cloth. Killer Mike is a better rapper than El-P too if you can get over his southern drawl.

And I love that Chromatics record. Kill for Love and Lady are my favorite tracks as well.

The new Dirty Projectors record officially comes out today.

Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan


I seem to be the only person on Earth that couldn't get into Bitte Orca. I can respect that they want to be eccentric and challenging, but that album just didn't resonate with me.

This new one still has that oft-kilter touch, but is much more accessible although less adventurous. Love the vocal harmonies throughout this record, and I feel the songwriting is stronger overall.
