The Syndicate

I recommend watching the film before listening to the whole album bc parts of it will make more sense/have more impact

Listening to the full album and it's so beautiful, but definitely watch the film too bc in the context of that it's even more truly a masterpiece. Seriously, the lyrical tie-ins to the film, the themes..... I have a lot of feelings about this

I just watched the film and. wow. I'm still reeling from....a lot of emotions. It's really something.

I like two songs by Vampire Weekend. What's up with them?

Bro it's no craze, they've been my favorite band* for like ten years now and same for dunya and jay. Check out all their albums yo!!

*Or at least in the top three, I'd also say the family crest has been my favorite for 3 years now


VW are fun too, I've also liked them for about that long, their 2013 album is the best but their first and second are also pretty good. They just put out a new one which I mostly enjoyed.

I'm only 2 tracks into Marina's new album and it's already goat [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] [mention]dunya[/mention]

yo this is so Fucking good

this guy sounds like otis redding but looks like a long lost mcelroy brother, lmao. also his dancing/not falling off the desk is a+

What a weird-ass video. I think my favorite is when the curve of the violin forms the horse's butt

Ooo this is my kinda shit thanks for sharing.

Woke up with this song stuck in my head for some reason. Love it though, I really should listen to Porcupine Tree more often

Golden I will talk for literally hours about The Witness. My housemates and I played it and have SO many thoughts about, well, how awesome it is.

I definitely meant to post that in the musical fascinations thread. But it works just fine here too so here it stays

Another rec I got: Milo. Definitely a very different type of sound than the stuff I posted about earlier, but I'm really really digging it so far. Super chill, and his wordsmithing is amazing -- the lyrics have continued to impress me track after track.

Neil Cicierega just released a new mashup album and it's AMAZING. And hilarious. https://soundcloud.com/neilcic/mouth-moods

Sometimes I just remember that nothing else is quite as perfect as the bass riff of Where I End And You Begin

I'm listening to the new Animal Collective album!!! It's pretty awesome

absolutely flawless EP... to be fair everything by this man is freaking perfect

Woodkid is so fucking good

<333

Now I'm listening to Belle & Sebastian's new album (and being v sad that I can't make it to their concert in Portland tonight )

It's April 8th.

The Boxer Rebellion - Safe House

I am very quickly falling in love with this band. good stuff.
