Halcyon Digest


Absolutely amazing, totally agree that it does seem to be a more fleshed out and fully formed version of Atlas Sound (Bradford Cox's solo effort) than a direct continuation of previous Deerhunter albums, although there is a definite lineage.



if that wasn't all the explanation you needed you are beyond redemption.

The Mountain Goats - All Hail West Texas

Tied with The Magnetic Fields as one of the few artists where I am yet to find a song that I do not enjoy a crazy amount, given time I will probably end up putting up every one of their albums (definitely no easy task, given the quite literally absurd amount of releases by these two artists)
A truly fantastic album, filled with exceptional lyrics and perfectly constructed acoustic songs, definitely one of the best of its kind, I would seriously recommend giving this a listen, even if you aren't normally into this sort of thing.



Crywank - James Is Going To Die Soon Demos

Acoustic folk punk from a kid up in Manchester (not sure if I can really say that considering he is probably older than me.) Full of emotion and stuff, and he has a really great voice, I hope he gets a bit more popular and starts touring further south. Also he looks so much like someone I know and it amuses me to imagine that all along it was actually him creating these heartfelt songs.
