To Hold the Ripened SunOne of my favorite albums from last year. Been listening to it a bit again today and I'm liking it even more. "Fascia" has a really cool drum groove midway through, and "Shrines" is one of the prettiest melancholic songs I can think of.
White Ward - False Light
Might give this another spin tonight, great album.
Finally checked it out today, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, certainly a strong contender for end of the year lists. Not sure I like it quite as much as the previous one, it has less of that unique nocturnal city vibe than before, but it has other things I enjoy more, like heavier guitars than I remember them having before. Can't wait for additional plays.
Sylvaine - Nova
Finally got around to listening to this a few days ago. Beautiful stuff.
Yeah, that's one of my favorites this year as well.
I've been trying off and on to get into her for awhile, but she hasn't clicked yet for me other than a song or two here and there. I know she's been influential on a number of other artists I like, I might have to give this one a go. How does it differ from the normal version? I've heard that one and enjoyed it, but very mildly.
