#Shriekback is back with their 19th studio album! They’re crowdfunding it once again, and it’d be awesome if any of you kicked in a few quid to make it happen!
Their last, Monument, was quite good so I’m hopeful that Things With Heads will be deep and wide!

CW: #MusicAppreciation (long post)
brewing in my head for a while:
it's happened a few times in my life that i've heard an album and been like,
`well that changes something and i like it'
here's a personal and incomplete overview:
(0) look here come the wormies (nomeansno, 1980)
extremely limited edition and how the HELL did it get to prince george. proof that DIY works.(1) soul mining (the the, 1986)
woke up in the middle of a winter night and had to walk about. the sky was intense, glowy. ran into an acquaintance walking home from the bar, who was like "YOU HAVE TO COME WITH ME AND LISTEN TO THIS THING I GOT" and damn wasn't he right. the beat will get to you and you are worthy. i got to see them live, they was some stunning.(2) sacred city (shriekback, 1992)
absolutely a concept album, from the band that brought you singalongs rhyming with `parthenogenesis'. humans decided to make cities, and also decided they would not be of fixed form. the consequences are all around you still. made by producers who *finally* understood both that on a CD there is no practical limit to the low frequencies but home amplifier design, and also that that aspect should not be tested continuously.(3) throwing copper (live, 1994)
it's a bold move for a rock band to open an album with a funeral...dirge is the wrong word. banshee audition? but as muhammad ali said, it ain't bragging if you can do it. at least one song made top 10, and is still heard occasionally on the radio. still, you'll want to strap in for this rollercoaster of love, loss, faith, poverty, and one too many wrong books. but don't worry, it's not quite like the hip where you need english degree to understand everything that's happening.(4) good news for people who love bad news (modest mouse, 2004)
the introductory transition from world at large to float on is the slickest thing since david bowie. seamless. everything is exactly the same, but it's different. i'm still not sure how it works. aside from that, the music is top-notch, the writing is mostly inspired, and `bury me with it' outlines exactly why the kids are justifed in stabbing every billionaire they meet.(5) loveless (my bloody valentine, 1991)
i first heard this at the insistence of jeff, who i'm still trying to convince to join us, in 2007. what can i say, i was busy in the 90s. it sounds exactly like the inside of your head /after/ a nomeansno concert.(6) shapeshifting (young galaxy, 2011)
saying they're from montreal can't hide the lyrics describing living in vancouver's west end perfectly. oh, it turns out they *are* from vancouver originally, and i'd bet on something like robson/denman four blocks from stanley park. i'm not sure i'd describe them as new age, wiccan, or thelemite, but they seem intent on asking 'who am i really' in a beautiful way. warning: you may end up asking yourself the same question just before the black swan event.#NoMeansNo #TheThe #Shriekback #Live #ModestMouse #MyBloodyValentie #YoungGalaxy

“Clear Trails” was on Shriekback’s 1983 debut full-length album Care, and also appears on this compilation, The Infinite, a year later. #shriekback #postpunk #newwave #vinyl #recordcollection

@davidgerard #shriekback #music #obscurantism You could try "Rem Koolhaas Stole My Shovel" too. It's one of the extras on Having a Moment.

I was listening to the Album Art podcast in which three or four guys tell the history of an interesting LP cover. I wanted to slap them over their discussion of XTC's Go 2 album. Their assessment of how the cover came together was pretty knee-jerk and they dissed Barry Andrews' contributions, failing to note that Andrews went on to found #Shriekback. With that in mind, today's listening includes Oil and Gold, one of the most perfect LPs of the 80s.

Is there a crossover between #Shriekback and #HalfManHalfBiscuit fans? They're a similar vintage, different styles of music but both using fairly complex lyrics full of cultural references. I love them both.

#NowPlaying: #Shriekback - Care
Also released #OnThisDay!This album is a weird mix of funky dancefloor rhythms and ambient ramblings, weird in places and catchy in others, sometimes a bit of both. Lined Up is of course the big hit along with My Spine Is The Bassline (bonus track here), but I love Cleartrails especially: it's got a nice beat and catchy melody. Wonderfully experimental with Hapax Legomena and the album closer In: Amongst.
