  2. In: #Eurovision crisis

    Over 1,000 artists, including Massive Attack and Sigur Rós, have signed an open letter calling for a boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 to protest Israel's participation, due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

    1001 Albums You Need To Hear Before You Die.
    I just rated number 900, so it feels like getting into the end stages now. One album per day, short breaks on the holidays, so I've been going for about 3 years. The generator uses all version of the book, so I've got about 200 albums to go still.

    Since the last update, about 8 months ago:

    * Never heard them before, how awesome is this?: #themonks #drive_like_jehu
    * Never realised how much I like them: #echo_and_the_bunnymen , #sonicyouth
    * I liked this before, this is still excellent: #CocteauTwins , #tomwaits , #nickcave
    * This really isn't for me: #emersonlakeandpalmer , #steelydan , #pil

    According to the stats, my favourite sub-genres are:
    Post-Rock ( #sigurros , #tortoise , #talktalk )
    Industrial ( #nineinchnails , #laibach , #atomizer , #pereubu )
    Zolo(?) (Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, XTC, King Crimson)

    Favourite years: 1980, 1994, 2006

  5. If you haven't heard Black Country, New Road yet, imagine a hybrid of Sigur Rós (yewtu.be/watch?v=qiFgfPiJHyA) and Ozric Tentacles (yewtu.be/watch?v=UpONOfahgLA). If you haven't listened to those bands either, you're missing out in all 3 cases.

    Check 'em out!

    This year sucked (understatement of ever), but at least the music didn’t. Here are the albums released in 2023 that I loved (along with a couple from other years that deserved mention). I hope you find something to enjoy and play out the rest of the year.

    Outside of my personal Top 5, I just couldn’t rank all these in a regular, boring list, so I’ve grouped them according to theme or some shared quality that made sense to me. While the bolded ones are my Top 5, in order (with two tied for 5th), there are 10 categories, so we can just say these 40ish albums are my Top 10. There are no rules.

    If you’re the sort that only wants metal (or, perhaps, wants anything but), I’ve put an asterisk beside any albums that are metal, for easy scanning in addition to the genre notes. I’ve also included links to the Bandcamp, when available – if you do purchase on Bandcamp, make sure to download the files before that platform goes poof!!!

    Happy listening, and, ef you, 2023.

    TOP ALBUMS OF 2023

    1: Most intense albums of the year

    Rye – Всё* (atmospheric black metal/blackgaze) / Jeremy Dutcher Motewolonuwok (neo-Indigenous/neoclassical) / ANOHNI and the Johnsons My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross (pop soul/art pop) / Sufjan Stevens – Javelin (indie)

    (Honorable mention: Sinéad O’Connor – The Lion and The Cobra, because it took me until 2023 to hear it in full, wtf, and it was my 2nd most listened to album of the year.)

    These all pretty much have a theme of “I don’t want you to be dead” (lyric from the ANOHNI album), starting with the first 2023 album I heard and fell in love with, then going to my absolute top and most listened-to album (probably ~200+ listens since October), then ending with the last 2023 albums I heard and fell completely in love with. Not only are the Jeremy Dutcher and ANOHNI albums my Top 2 of the year, but they’ve made my Top Albums of Ever list as well – they’re both life-changing. Sinéad too, for that matter (RIP).

    2: Most chill albums of the year

    Acid King Beyond Vision* (stoner metal/doom) / Midwife & Vyva Melinkolya – Orbweaving (shoegaze) / Sigur Rós ÁTTA (postrock) / Zoon – Bekka Ma’iingan (moccasin gaze)

    Need to chill out a bit after that start, in order of my hearing them. Acid King and Sigur Rós are my most listened-to albums of the year after Jeremy Dutcher and Sinéad. Zoon (and their genre label “moccasin gaze”, i.e., Indigenous shoegaze) is new to me this year and was a pleasant surprise, being the opener for the Jeremy Dutcher show I luckily was able to safely attend (first concert since the pandemic began). Best way to describe Zoon’s music is sound waves washing over you.

    3: Pure fun

    Blackbraid Blackbraid II* (Indigenous black metal) / Marthe – Further In Evil* (black metal/crust punk) / Árstíðir lífsins – Hermalausaz* (pagan black metal) / Mizmor – Prosaic* (black metal/blackened doom) / Jalen Ngonda – Come Around And Love Me (soul)

    This originally was just a group of welcome follow-ups from black metal bands on past lists (and yes, Mizmor can do fun/fun-adjacent!), but then I heard the Jalen Ngonda album and had to make this just a category of fun. The Árstíðir lífsins release is technically an EP with 2 songs, but at 43 minutes, it qualifies in my books as an album.

    Also check out the Marthe/The Lord collab EP (see EP category below), and watch out for the full length from Marzia’s (a.k.a. Marthe’s) other band, Horror Vacui, in 2024!

    4: Longest albums of the year

    Bell Witch – Future’s Shadow Part 1: The Clandestine Gate* (doom) / André 3000 – New Blue Sun (ambient/new age/soul jazz) / Eremit – Wearer of Numerous Forms* (doom)

    (Honorable mention: Dolly Parton – Rockstar)

    And when I say long, I mean Bell Witch’s is a single 83-minute song, André 3000’s is 88 minutes of instrumental jazz in the vein of Alice Coltrane, and Eremit’s is 2+ hours of dooooooom. Dolly deserves an honorable mention somewhere on this list because she’s Dolly F’ing Parton, and she fits right in here with her 2+ hour-long rock n’ roll karaoke project.

    Who knows where you’ll end up after finishing these. Definitely a long way from home, perhaps hell, perhaps ordained as a Reverend.

    5: Most hell(fire and brimstone)ish albums of the year

    R.A. Sánchez – L’ottava Sfera* (doom jazz/funeral jazz) / Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter – SAVED! (experimental) / Khanate – To Be Cruel* (doom/drone metal)

    Some may find the first and last hard to listen to. “Hell” is mentioned in the descriptions and reviews of both. But to me, no album is harder to listen to than Kristin Hayter’s (a.k.a. Lingua Ignota’s) new project, from this or any other year. It sounds like a literal hell to me, while the other two are comfy, cozy, relaxing. So, if you like one of these albums, you might like one or both of the others here. But, a warning – if you had a not-so-rosy experience with charismatic/Pentecostal Xianity, you may want to stay away from SAVED! all together, it might be, umm, triggering.

    Also, for the Kristin Hayter you might be more familiar/comfortable with, see the live Lingua Ignota album, also out this year.

    6: Angriest albums of the year

    Ragana – Desolation’s Flower* (blackened doom/blackened screamo) / BIG|BRAVE – nature morte* (postmetal) / Ushangvagush – Pestmo’qon* (Indigenous black metal)

    After listening to SAVED! (or, just thinking about it), I have big feelings, which can be expressed with some anger. Here’s some anger. Ragana is pretty much tied with Blackbraid and Marthe for my top 5 spot, it’s just so so good.

    7: Peter, Paul, and Not Mary

    Peter Gabriel – i/o (rock) / Paul Simon – Seven Psalms (folk) / Blind Guardian – The God Machine* (power metal)

    Albums that for some reason I didn’t think I’d love, and I didn’t the first time around, but then I kept listening to them, over and over, and then asked myself why I ever thought I wouldn’t like them or assumed any of these artists were past their expiry date/my fanship. I even complained for a few days on Mastodon about how there’s too many good songs on the Peter Gabriel album (i.e., all of them). Paul Simon’s was recommended by Mike Scheidt of YOB, and is a really lovely meditative/cyclical piece. Blind Guardian’s was released in September 2022 but I didn’t listen to it until after the 2022 list season AND it was my most-listened to album of 2022 this year because it really has no business being this good, so it makes the list. Again, no rules.

    8: Experimental eclectic awesomeness

    jaimie branch – Fly or Die Fly or Die Fly or Die ((world war)) (free jazz) / Ky – Power Is The Pharmacy (experimental noise) / ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT – “Darling The Dawn” (experimental art rock) / Lonnie Holley – Oh Me Oh My (blues/soul/folk) / Sanam – Aykathani Malakon صنم – أيقظني ملاكٌ (postfolk/postrock/free jazz/krautrock)

    Thank goodness for AOTY lists, otherwise I’d have no idea that there was a posthumous release from jaimie branch (RIP), and I would’ve ever heard of the utterly amazing Sanam. Ky is the solo Laurie Anderson-esque project of the singer from Lungbutter, featuring collabs with a member of BIG|BRAVE. AH_ML is a power duo of Ariel Engle from Broken Social Scene and Efrim Manuel Menuck from GSY!BE, Silver Mt. Zion, etc. I was very happy to be reaquainted with Lonnie Holley’s work after his last album got buried in my Bandcamp wishlist, and this one is an absolute stunner; in particular, the title track with Michael Stipe on guest vocals has been on repeat in my head since hearing it.

    9: Prettiest albums of the year

    vvilderness – Path* (atmospheric black metal) / Jo Quail – Invocation and Supplication (neoclassical) / ARCHE – Transitions* (funeral doom) / Marina Herlop – Nekkuja (experimental/avant garde electronic)

    Any release from vvilderness is always welcome. The Jo Quail is technically two 3-song cycles, but they were released together and essentially form an album. The ARCHE came out December 2022 after list season, so it qualifies here. Marina Herlop is a late addition and completely new to me; this album is like a cross between Aurora and Björk’s Utopia, but sung in Catalan.

    10: The Nottingham Twang

    Maȟpíya Lúta – Wowahwala* (Indigenous black metal) / SQÜRL – Silver Haze (experimental/drone) / Mong Tong – Tao Fire 道火 (experimental/electronic) / Donny McCaslin – I Want More (electronic jazz)

    Okay, I’m not really sure how to name this category – think Americana/Dead Man soundtrack goes travelling and picks up some synths along the way, maybe a saxophone? It makes sense to me, anyway, if listened to in the above order. I initially wanted to put SQÜRL with Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon because Jim Jarmusch is still kicking ass like them at 70, and then I wanted to put it in category 8, but the Dead Man vibes I get from the first album decided it for me.

    If you like the Mong Tong, perhaps also check out Japan Blues – Japan Blues Meets The Dengie Hundred.

    Top (sorry you’re not long enough so I won’t say anything further about you) EPs of the year

    Ufomammut – Crookhead* (psychedelic metal) / Marthe/The Lord – The Eye of Destiny* (drone metal) / Wolves In The Throne Room – Crypt of Ancestral Knowledge* (atmospheric black metal)

    Moar albums

    I’ve been adding some more albums to my Discogs list as I find them via other people’s AOTY lists (but haven’t spent enough time with them to include here), so check it out if you want more. And please feel free to leave a comment with your top album(s) of the year!

  12. Headed down to MONA, possibly the quirkiest museum on earth, in #Hobart yesterday. Saw Jonsi (lead singer of Sigur Ros)'s 'Obsidian' exhibition, a 25-minute audio loop of his interpretation of the 2021 Iceland volcanic eruption. Was coupled with flickering visuals as well as changing smells throughout the loop. Incredible atmosphere in that room.

    Hard to take photos of what was in there but I managed to take this shot of the speaker set up. You sit in the center of the room on a circular seat facing outwards at this wall of speakers. The number of audio channels in that performance was crazy, you could really feel the samples flickering all around you.

    #PaulSimon - Seven Psalms

  19. I caught #SigurRos at the Greek Theater in Berkeley last night.

    I loved the show, but the lovely venue made it so much better. I'd forgotten how nice the venue was.

    What are some other outdoors concert venues in the Bay Area?

  20. My top artists in #June2023 on #Tidal:

    After seeing them live at #RockImPark for the third or fourth time, I fell even more in love with #Meshuggah! Started to appreciate #TheViolentSleepOfReason a lot more after being disappointed with #Immutable...

    Besides that everything I was listening to the previous month, #M83, #Hammock, #SigurRos and #Lambert.

  21. Wer auch immer es aus der alten #antville-Klicke war, der mich damals mit Sigur Rós angefixt hat - danke dafür #sigurros #atta

  22. "With its unique and hypnotic blend of sounds–including a full orchestra–the Icelandic band’s eighth studio album soars above traditional musical categories, reaching bold new heights."

    Music Review: 'Átta' Album by Sigur Rós High in Post-Rock Atmosphere

  23. Really really enjoying the new #SigurRos album #Átta.

    It is slow and patient, but still potent and moving. It's the difference between making sourdough bread from scratch and buying a loaf of white bread from the store: it takes time and labor to get through but you are rewarded for waiting and enduring.

    I'm also reminded of being younger and enjoying their music. I had more time then to listen intently and listening to this album now gently pushes me into that space again.

  24. CW: meaning of burning rainbow flag on the cover art of Sigur Rós' "Átta"

    #SigurRós themselves are, at least as far as I can tell, until now very vague on what exactly they want the picture to mean. This part in a Guardian interview, in which Jónsi says “Trans and queer and gay rights have been trampled on so much recently. It’s scary to see. Around the world also, it feels like we’re going backwards.” was the best I could find:
    theguardian.com/music/2023/jun

    #SigurRos #Átta #Atta #SigurRos8

  25. CW: music, relationships, burning rainbow flag

    After ten years, there’s a new #SigurRós album. #Átta (“eight”, as it’s the eighth album) sounds very much as always, I’d say. Ethereal, melodic, very slow and very well-suited as the background music for an evening chilling in bed with a loved one.

    Not quite sure what’s with the cover though. Sigur Rós' singer Jónsi is openly gay, so I don’t think that it should be interpreted as aggressive. *Edit:* See follow-up posts below.
