I still agree with this synopsis, and still strongly encourage you to listen to my #1 track from last year: Gone in Bloom and Bough. I went on and on last year about how Caspian’s album Waking Season is the greatest album in a long while. Track #1: Caspian – Hymn For The Greatest Generation
Ok then, onto the track by track breakdown: Don’t miss the other bits about good vinyl and other music developments at the end of the post though! My advice to you: listen to the playlist, if a track catches your ear, read the breakdown about that track below – or, you know, just read all of this blather if you’re bored. When you see this meme, you’re reading about a post-rock track. For this, I’ll be using the greatest meme of all time: the post-rock raven. To that end, I’m going to utilize a “post rock warning” image throughout the track lists. Not everyone is a fan of post-rock, and not all post-rock fans are fans of EDM. Option #3: Search for me on Spotify with “1226261222” (no quotes), and look at my public playlists for 2014 Best Of. Spotify has a couple ways to link to playlists, so here are options you may want: My playlist is a spotify playlist this year, it’s 45 tracks that clock in at 3 hours 48 minutes (there’s a fair bit of post rock in there.lolz): If you think 65daysofstatic and/or this will destroy you and/or the glitch mob and/or matthew good and/or sigur ros and/or the paper chase is the greatest band ever, shoot me an email, let’s share playlists. I hate attempting to make a playlist out of tracks when they flow much better within their respective album’s framework, but the albums playlist for these tracks is over 37 hours long, so, a hacked up playlist it is. It’s hard to pay attention without losing yourself in daydreams or memories while listening, and I think that’s kinda the point. Impressively consistent with enough variation to keep your attention – and, like all good shoegaze, it keeps moving you places without ever being front and center. Their previous album ( Drink the Sea) was a regular repeat-forever on my commute to and from work a few years ago, and this latest effort is even better – if ever there was a EDM supergroup to top all EDM artists ever, they’d be hard pressed to match the glitch mob’s work.īlack Rebel Motorcycle Club’s Specter at the Feast – Moody shoegaze perfection. The Glitch Mob’s Love Death Immortality – EDM/Glitch.
I highly recommend the following records – they’re all solid listens all the way through, and I find that I can’t start any of these without an obsession with listening the whole way through.īT’s These Hopeful Machines – EDM (electronic dance music), his masterpiece in my opinion, 2+ hours of incredible highs and lows both fast and slow, all mixed perfectly into one endless soundscape of amazing.Ħ5daysofstatic’s Wild Light – Post-rock meets a swirling wall of synth with a never-subtle virus of glitch constantly threatening to tear it all down, both inspiring and apocalyptic all at once. Due to the slow year, my listening habits have been all over the map in 2014, so there’s bound to be something in here that you’ve never heard of. I’m hard pressed to recommend much of anything new this year, so my recommendations this year are mostly from years past. I like to listen to albums all the way through, and I’m not really a top-40 or metal fan, somewhere in between metal and top-40 – that’s me.Ģ014 has been a slow year for music. To me, the best album ever is Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins, and my current favorite record is either 65daysofstatic’s Wild Light or BT’s These Hopeful Machines. Standard Disclaimer: I’m a fan of post rock, electronic music, and alt rock.
