Blood Orange: Cupid Deluxe

Yet another album that's well outside my wheel house, but easily the release of the week, if not the month for me. 

I think this guy is genius in the studio; just take a listen to what he's done with Solange, MKS, an Sky Ferreira.  This album is no exception.

Give it a listen, you won't regret it.

That Blood Orange record is great. Really enjoying it.



Matador Records is doing a one-day sale for 50% off their 2013 releases. Some really good deals on some great albums this year. I'd personally recommend Queens of the Stone Age, Kurt Vile, Darkside, Yo La Tengo, Majical Cloudz and Savages (the first three being must-haves from this year, IMHO).

Completely unfamiliar with this composer's work; bought this based on a review in Gramophone, and I'm really digging Symphony No. 1.  If you like John Adams' orchestral work, this is for you.   headbang

Harold Budd - Perhaps

One of my favourite artists. I discovered him in the 80's via his work with Cocteau Twins and Brian Eno.
This work is a return to form. Just a man and a piano... bliss.

Good stuff, And happy to see Christoph Poppen get a little more creative with his album covers!!   :-00

I haven't really consumed a lot of new music this year. Most of what I've heard has quickly faded though. I'm mining this thread for nuggets. This reco is giving me a fair bit. It channels The Weeknd in parts. I really dig it.

Arctic Monkeys - AM



Never been a big fan of Arctic Monkeys. Always saw them as style over substance. AM is a mature album that shatters that view. This is up there. Check it out mateys!

Bit late to this one but it's in heavy rotation at the moment. Hadn't heard this group before Spotify led me to this album. There's a kind of fusion here of Fleet Foxes, Band of Sarah Jessica Parkers, Elbow and Bon Iver. The Deluxe edition is a must, with the addition of a great live set.
