I’ve only recently gotten into CG, had never really listened to him before. I’ve had _“Camp” _on repeat a fair amount recently. Couldn’t really get into his latest effort though. Maybe a few more listens will help.
Blue & Lonesome - The Rolling Stones
Blackstar - David Bowie
Friends - White Lies
It’s a big departure from his other work, but it’s a grower. Helps if you divorce it from his previous albums and take it as a standalone.
Some of my favourites have been…
Grandfeathered - Pinkshinyultrablast
Lines - Waclaw Zimpel
Controlling Body - Peder Mannerfelt
Varmints - Anna Meredith
Varahtelija - Oranssi Pazuzu
Bes - The Dwarfs of East Agouza
Secuirty - Gaika
It’s Hard for Me to Say I’m Sorry - Fennesz & Jim O’Rourke
Hubris - Oren Ambarchi
A Moon Shaped Pool - Radiohead
We Be All Africans - Idris Ackamoor & the Pyramids
Second Woman - Second Woman
Moogmemory - Matthew Bourne
He’s made half of them up. He always does,
I had to! I spent most of the year listening to Prince and weeping.
Haha…I was thinking that…but I am old and out of touch.
You might like the Anna Meredith one, Fatsy.
Although I’m always a bit crap at predicting your taste. You’re so mauve.
The only new music I listen to is usually suggested by posters on here so I concur with suggestions above, particularly the Bowie and Radiohead albums.
Am also enjoying The Soft Bounce by Beyond The Wizards Sleeve at the moment (yes, I know it sounds like I just made that up).
Leonard Cohen - You Want it Darker.
That is all.
Some of the above, plus:
Ulrika Spacek - The Album Paranoia
Death Grips - Bottomless Pit
