Also, Tool should be releasing a new record in 2012, but knowing them it could also take another few years.

The Magnetic Fields will release Love at the Bottom of the Sea, their tenth full-length album and first release of new material with Merge since 1999?s
highly acclaimed
69 Love Songs,
on March 6. The band will celebrate their new album with a North American tour that passes through the SXSW Music Showcase in Austin, Texas.

the 90s with Merge releases such as
The Charm of the Highway Strip
and
Get Lost.
Stephin Merritt has come back to synths with a fresh approach: ?Most of the synthesizers on the record didn?t exist when we were last using synthesizers,?
he notes. The songs ? none over three minutes long ? were recorded in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York with Merritt?s usual cast of collaborators:
Claudia Gonson, Sam Davol, John Woo, Shirley Simms, Johny Blood and Daniel Handler.

Methinks Jaguar will be happy with most of this new Alcest album.
The black metal vocals are at a minimum and more of a focus is put on dream pop. There are a couple detours into black metal but it is nothing too rough.
-
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/01/alcest_streamin.html
I am really digging it. I might try and catch the NYC show at the end of March...
-
The only gripe I have with it is whenever the vocals are not backed by shoegazy guitars, they sound generic radio rocky to the point of almost making me cringe. I would take black metal screams over that painful vocal any day.

Oh, cool. I'll have to check it out. There was only 1 song on his last album that I could tolerate and that one was an instrumental. Gorgeous song but not long enough to justify a purchase considering that the rest irritated me beyond belief.
Thanks, Killsaly for the link! ;)

Not likely; however, I do have a big gap of time off coming up then. Then again, if it's in DC, odds are much, much slimmer that I could reasonably make it to the show. A Baltimore show would be a possibility even though I'd be staying even further from the city than where I had been living.
When and where are they playing again? I forgot.

BC on the 18th.

GBV's new "classic" lineup album Let's Go Eat the Factory
Its very much of a piece with the pre Mag Earwhig output...and thats a good thing....
-
Unlike the other "classic lineup" records, nothing really got stuck in my head after listening. Not bad but not up to the absurdly high standard the other three albums set.

Waves by Sprout
Imperial Racehorsing by Pollard are up with anything they've done... if the fuzzed out guitar on Imperial doesn't get you well...
with GBV you have to listen to stuff a bunch of times.. one can't pop it in once .. not saying Azaghal you did that.. just a cautionary tale for those that may be giving them a first chance.. the albums grow on you and the half fleshed out lo-fi vignettes that pepper the album eventually - in a way by feeding and building off of the album- eventually mean something..
I remember the first time I heard Alien Lanes I thought it was crap compared to Bee Thousand.. a few weeks later I preferred it and I do to this day...
The Pollard chorus on the last track:"If you want some, if you need some.. " and the harmonies "AAHH AHH AAAH.." are classic GBV
The album is full of moments like that.. .
Other highlights are Either Nelson (I assume he's talking about Rick Nelson but can't tell who the other is) and Cyclone
I'm far from a "love everything they do..." guy although I did love them from just about day one.. I remember talking about them with Bob Mould about 1994 when they were breaking out and he was just as enamoured as everyone was (Sonic Youth, Breeders, etc)... but they lost me a bit with Mag Earwhig... to have Demos, Sprout, Mitchell and Fennell with JIMMY POLLARD too.. recording a classic type old school GBV album... its a good birthday present for me. Can't wait til they tour...
-
I did give it only one full listen. But tracks like "hunting knife," "Game of Pricks," "smothered in Hugs," "Tractor Rape Chain" and "Queen Directory" just to name a few were imprinted onto my brain instantly also after the first listen. I never ruled out this new one being a grower but that was not the case for me with the others.

one listen? Sorry .. that just doesn't cut it with GBV, mac.. no way.
Its very easy to read that the critics and hipsters that preceded you all think Bee Thousand is the cats miau and get shaped by it.. you need to listen to stuff for yourself without that baggage.. don't worry what others say. Of course Bee Thousand may have more "immediate" songs but there's plenty of GBV that requires you to let them burrow their way into your skin.. an album like Tonics and Twisted Chasers would seem underwhelming at first listen.
I remember when Alien Lanes came out and it was pretty controversial. .there wasn't any opinion it was the awesome album people think its now..it was more of a disssapointment after bee thousand...heck just look at the All Music Guide review to see that.. 3.5 stars? On what planet. Its a 5 star album.
I guess what I'm saying is people have to let the songs work on their own without any of the surrounding context.. otherwise of course an attempt by a long defunct band to recapture a sound from 15 years ago is not going to measure up. How could it?
ANyways to each their own but the way kids listen to albums now is just no way at all... "oh let me listen to 10 new albums today and see"... How could that make any impression? In the old days you'd buy a tape and listen to it for a few weeks cause it was all you could afford and guess what? Eventually- that way- you figured out for yourself what had value and what didn't! Nowadays.. oh let me streamm it once on NPR while I am at work.. come on!

Ugh. I get tired so easily these days. Bowing out on this after all. :( Lame I know. Especially since SVI have been quiet live performancewise as of late.
I know you live far out now but is there any chance of you coming out for the SVI/Ceremony show next week?

I didnt catch the first band. Ceremony/SVI more than made up for it. It was weird seeing Ceremony play as a four piece.

Background info.
Originally, C Royal was offering spots on his "Royal Tavern's" album for emcees to be a part of on the Justus League (9th Wonder, Little Brother, etc.) message board. Ardamus contacted C Royal and they completed 4 cuts on the project alongside Mallz, Chaundon, Society Of Gentlemen, and other counterparts on the album. Ardamus, in the meantime, was involved with his projects with his crew FAR EXP and other solo projects that he was completing. C Royal contacted Ardamus for an idea for a project and Ardamus agreed without hesitation.
The Album/Singles.
After back and forth emails and phone calls to establish a constant theme for the album, "The Glass Is Half Full Of" seem to fit because of the contrast of the hard and smooth production of C Royal and the content of what Ardamus was delivering. In addition, Ardamus informed his peers of C Royal's production and he got the nod from the crews and affiliations Ardamus has in Washington, DC. In addition, Cee H. Blak aka Blak Lungz who used to be in the Food Chain Collective contacted him because of the development for Shotgun Daisy Records. Just recently, the label had dropped an EP that was featuring his work with Joe Beats (the producer of Non-Prophets with Sage Francis and other great instrumental works). After a video was completed for one of the first songs entitled "Indeed Loyalty", Blak was sent the video and this lead to a three-single deal for the duo to have digital distribution through various outlets.
Special thanks and notations.The most high of course.To all the artists who were selected in the process of this album: my FAR EXP members (Flex Mathews, Fleetwood DeVille, RNL), Charlie Bucket, Deborah Bond, Chaquis Maliq, and Enoch 7th Prophet. Toney Smith for the additional recording at Vintage Vibez Studio. A very big thanks to Lauren from Snarky Studios and the homie, Terry, for both putting together the visuals. And a very big shotout goes to Blak Lungz for hooking up the three single deal with Shotgun Daisy Records. And most importantly?.you, if you have supported this project. Peace.

Brazilian band the Tape Disaster release new free album. RIYL post rock, shoegaze, indie, etc...
(http://sinewave.com.br/albums/thetapedisaster/sw0101.jpg)
(translated from Portuguese)
Release
As one of the most original and creative indie rock bands of Porto Alegre, The Tape Disaster comes six years playing often in concerts in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. With the support of the seals and Mr F Virtual Sinewave, the band released in May 2011 in Opinion, the first EP titled Augmented Reality, containing five songs.
The latest work, entitled The Voice of Fire (2012) is an EP of two songs recorded and mixed in the studio by Sebastian Carsin Hurricane. The Tape The Disaster confi now? Rma as one of the highlights of Brazilian instrumental music.
It would be too cliche to say that the band has an independent genre? Finível. From? Finível perhaps, but the complexity of this tumultuous cause contradictions. The sound of the quartet Porto Alegre has reference to the instrumental genre. But the big problem is that just name them that way would be a crime and in the references? Fluences that are synthesized for each millisecond of the songs. Interestingly, the sound is characterized by these vast infl? Uências that each member carries, not a particular genre that simply chose to follow. They walk into the unknown without losing focus.
The Tape Disaster is universal music, wandering around town to hear, to taste in transit, to accompany us on rainy days and sunny. Just take care not to trip over or hitting your car. Their songs are instrospectivas and require much preparation, so take care of yourself even more, for this insight causes us euphoria, waking self. Today, the different scares, while in glorify? Ca. "Gloria is a quiet moment," and the instruments are autossufi? Aware.

Secret Colours - EP3
http://secretcolours.bandcamp.com/album/ep3

What would west coast pop art experimentalism sound like filtered through an industrial midwest prism? No clue, but perhaps Secret Colours can shine some light on that. The newly minted Chicago quintet channels the finest in the greats of late '60s psychedelia, '90s newgaze reverence, and a touch of driving, bucolic, no frills RnR straight from the greasiest of garages

Dean Garcia (SPC ECO, Curve) - Das Haus Volume One
http://deangarcia.bandcamp.com/album/das-haus-volume-one
(http://f0.bcbits.com/z/19/60/1960019089-1.jpg)
Das Haus is a compilation of various ideas and collaborations made with the people I like to work with. The album explores a multitude of moods and styles from industrial alternative rock to chilled out dark core lounge. It's been fun compiling this collection, I'll add to it or make a volume two as time goes on, it's also a way to promo the various projects that I'm involved with that will spawn EP or album releases at some point in 2012.

More Dean Garcia goodness. This one is a collection of songs Dean did the music for, and his daughter Rose Berlin did the vocals. It was recorded at their home when Rose was just 15. A bit more pop and less shoegaze than other releases, but still great. Rose has a beautiful voice and Dean never disappoints. I actually like that her singing is more of the focus, and not fuzzed out guitars and hard drums.
Rose Berlin - Anyway

Jacober is the solo project of a busy Baltimore soul - a force that drums for Dope Body (Drag City) and the Dan Deacon ensemble (Domino), and also makes up half of Holy Ghost Party (GenPop).
Water Karaoke is Jacober's first collection of weird pop music, an introspective adventure through the things you tend to fascinate over when you're not moving at full speed. The album features recordings from the past three years that Jacober has been working on with some help from Dan Frome. It was mastered by Matt Schulman, and comes packaged with art by Beth Hoeckel and layout by Chris Day.

The Funk Ark - High Noon
Really enjoyed their debut album, but this is one is even better. Tighter and more on point and I will be spending a lot of time with this one.

Rodrigo Y Gabriela w/ C.U.B.A - Area 52.
Loving this.... not sure how long ago it came out, but they got added to the Bonnaroo lineup so I started listening and I'm a big fan.

'90s era New Zealand indie rockers
Bailterspace
will release Strobosphere on August 21 via Fire Records, their first new album in 13 years. Led by Alister Parker, the group were an outgrowth of '80s
noisemongers The Gordons and made seven albums from 1987 - 1999, many of which were on Matador Records in America. (Flying Nun in NZ of course.) The band,
which never really stopped working together, always managed a balance between fury, drone and the beautiful.
Bailterspace lean toward the latter two descriptors on "No Sense," the first released track from Strobosphere which you can download above and stream below.
The band
toured the U.S. in 2008,
so hopefully with a new record we'll get more live shows as well. We shall see.

This (http://pitchfork.com/news/45775-j-mascis-to-release-psychedelic-instrumental-album-with-side-project-heavy-blanket/) was really boring.

j should have been doing stuff like this years ago . . . instead of getting the two losers back together and touring while only playing the worst albums.

Have you listened to it?
It's wankerrific. It reminds me of Buckethead.
New Dinosaur will come out and make everything right, though. I can't fault him for wanting to get the masturbation out of his system.

I know griping about Pitchfork is very 2005 but Lorelei are not a fucking emo band. (http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17010-enterprising-sidewalks/)
They are just not. There is nothing emo about Everyone Must Touch the Stove.
Looking forward to hearing Enterprising Sidewalks though.

I've only listened to it twice but the new xx album just might end up my favorite of the year. I love it.
Between this, Capsule, Chromatics, Grimes and Black Moth, this has been quite the excellent year of singing chicks. Makes me feel all feminist like.
-
You left out Frankie Rose, Screaming Females, Eternal Summers, Heavy Cream and Deep Time. But I agree.
-
I will look into those as the only one I've heard is the Screaming Females, which I thought was good but not great. We'll also see about the new Cat Power. I listened to it once and liked it but haven't gotten back to it. Fiona Apple's also was good but not enough to keep me listening to it.
-
Relaxer, check out Purity Ring if you havent already. Their album "Shrines" is one of my favorite female vocalist driven ones of the year. Excellent dark/witchy pop.
-
White Lung's record is another. Stream. (http://whitelung.bandcamp.com)

I am loving that album.
-
I gave Purity Ring an earnest try. First couple of songs, I thought, oh this is pretty good. But then the vocals just got a little too cloying.
Chains of Love's Strange Grey Days is another I'm liking a lot. Very VERY retro girl-group sound with just enough of an edge to keep it modern. Super catchy, way out keyboards, great backing vocals. Would love to see these guys live.
And I usually don't much go for yesteryear's artists but the new Bob Mould album is really strong. Its much more Sugar than Husker but that's too be expected I guess.
-
Chains of Love sounds up my alley. And yeah the Bob Mould is his best in a long time. I think the rhythm section he used has a little to do with that.
Same one he has been touring with for the last three years.
-
K8T, good to hear!
And Relaxer, I feel you on that. I usually just listen to them on shuffle.
I am excited for their upcoming DC show with Evian Christ (he is also worth looking up if you are into dark pop/witch house).
-
I will check out chains of love! Thanks!

Horse Lords
By Horse Lords
(http://www.ehserecords.com/ehse023/images/ehse023_front.jpg)
"Horse Lords is the quartet of Andrew Bernstein, Max Eilbacher, Owen Gardner and Sam Haberman. The band transmutes experimental tactics (polyrhythm, arcane tunings and modular synthesis) into direct, muscular and surprisingly funky songs. The result is an ambitious sound with the volume, energy and density of great rock music but an expansive wanderlust that draws on a wider range of reference points. Using the just intonation tuning system favored by avant garde composers such as La Monte Young and James Tenney, the group's playing acknowledges the conservatory but just as freely draws upon krautrock, post-punk, Appalachian and African musical traditions. In order to be able to play in this tuning, Gardner hand-modified his guitar, adding and precisely repositioning frets, and the result is a truly distinctive guitar sound, both jarring and joyful. Elaborate but not self-indulgent, wide ranging but tightly executed, Horse Lords are at once trance inducing, ecstatic, and rhythmically compelling. "

The last album left me underwhelmed. Hopefully the new one is a return to form. Have you given a listen to any of the Dementia and Hope Trails stuff I linked in the 2011 Albums thread? It reminds me a good bit of the older Hammock material.

so bob mould will play the entire new album and copper blue and be done at 1045...probably but you never know...

Both are pretty short. I am stressing more about how I am getting down there now than making the Burma show on time. These storms are throwing a monkey wrench in things.

Even worse for the bands. The storms may be hitting around load in unless their times are fairly early.
-
Curious as to whether you all were able to pull it off.
-
Almost. The Black Cat tweet claiming that MoB would hit stage at 11 was inaccurate. We missed the first two songs for sure. Maybe three. Still, they were at their best that I had seen so I can overlook walking in 10 minutes after they started.
