smashingjj · 08-10-2008, 06:29 PM

certainly an album to check out (especially since it's up for free download): coen oscar polack - psychic investigations. it's this electro-acoustic stuff, abstract and cool.

4. M83 - Saturdays = Youth
5. Portishead - Third

Shapan · 08-15-2008, 10:47 PM

so i listened to the new stereolab album and now i want everything they've ever done

davin · 08-16-2008, 06:41 PM

portishead - third
monotonix - body language
gutter twins - saturnalia
black mountain - in the future
local h - 12 angry months

i'm really surprised there aren't any mentions of radiohead - in rainbows in this thread. it tells me you people are buying into the bullshit that the promotional mp3's they put out in 2007 constitutes an album release, and therefore are not considering it as a candidate for 2008.

no offense, but that seems a lot more plausible than everyone agreeing its 2008 but not putting it on their lists because they don't like it enough to be in their top 5........though thats basically my thinking on the subject.

maoi · 08-16-2008, 07:11 PM

wow. so davin and japanalex share my favorite album of the year. that is such a huge fucking bummer

JapanAlex · 08-17-2008, 02:52 AM

because (unlike alot of you scoff) I know what makes a good album!

it is an official 2007 release - we can't do anything even if we tried *single tear*

davin · 08-17-2008, 10:20 PM

its all just a popularity contest for you, isn't it douchebag?

Shapan · 08-26-2008, 05:43 AM

so daniel rossen of grizzly bear has another band hes in with his roommate from nyu. its called department of eagles, they have a new record that just leaked.

its called "in ear park" and its pretty fucking incredible. its probably already a top 5 album of the year for based on only a couple of listens. fans of yellow house should listen to this immediately.

celluloid_love · 08-26-2008, 05:56 AM

that really is the worst band name ive ever heard

celluloid_love · 08-26-2008, 07:01 AM

what is the point of this? it sounds exactly like grizzly bear

Shapan · 08-26-2008, 07:12 AM

well i was on a grizzly bear binge as it is so it works well for me

and one of the two is a primary songwriter for grizzly bear so its bound to have similarities. doesnt take away from how good it is.

celluloid_love · 08-26-2008, 07:22 AM

no i just think if you're going to do a side project you'd want to be a bit more adventurous...why make a grizzly bear record without grizzly bear? dude's probably a huge control freak

Shapan · 02:04 AM

rossen was initially in department of eagles and he joined up with grizzly bear before yellow house. so maybe this is just what his sound progressed to, grizzly bear's debut sounded way different without him when it was just droste's outlet. i havent heard of any of his doe stuff before this album, though.

edit: so i just listened to doe's LP before this one, and if you're looking for something thats not grizzly bear by rossen, this would be it. this is called the cold nose, the band has 2 LPs, cold nose and the upcoming in ear park.

hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?xnvtoogtcnn

its not as good or focused as in ear park but i like it. it can get pretty random as it goes along and is pretty scattered in general, but you can hear their direction in that last song.
