Music I’ve bought in October.
Hey! I got a lot of music this month…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXYZQTt-KuoThe Pescado Rabioso album was fun… I mean, it has a fun shape.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQtEJX_bLdsBut the Album of the Month is definitely the Nia Archives album. I was really into jungle back in the days, but it seemed to disappear after two months, didn’t it? That is, the basic rhythms were incorporated into the BBC Sound Archive to signify “urban” in all TV series from 1995-2000, and the major artists in the genre decided to go prog (looking at you, Goldie), so it all petered out so fast. (Before turning into something else with eski/two step/etc.)
The Nia Archives album poses the question: What if you just dropped some really, really catchy tunes over a really, really 1993 jungle backdrop? The results are just perfect.
More, please. And don’t turn into prog this time around.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SImQSN8cZ5QThe Lencinho EP is fun, too — Brazilian tunes under a 90s post-shoegaze glaze of fuzz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWsF-gFGGloDisappointment of the month, but I’m not really surprised because I’ve read a lot of reviews saying it’s their best album yet: The new Fontaines DC album is absolute crap.
And:
Closer look at their new look:
Yeah, they’re taking the piss, and you have to give them some kudos for that, but does that extend to their album as well? Is the album a piss-take, too? I’m not sure, but it sure is awful.
