D.vassalotti - Mirror (2011)

andrew, FC's lord of death rock, wrote on d.vassalotti's 'book of ghosts' ages ago. after completely forgetting about the band i recently rediscovered this triumph of a track. been blasting it on repeat ever since. the bass drone riff + mega-fuzz antics = pure bliss.

Planning For Burial - Late Twenties Blues CS (2011)

Artist: Planning For Burial
Album: Late Twenties Blues CS
Release: 2011
Label: s/r


Tracklist:
1. Where You Rest Your Head At Night
2. Late Twenties Blues
3. I Put Red House Painters On A Mixtape For You
4. Rest Your Head


Planning For Burial is a solo project devoted to the art of slowcore (see Red House Painters). These dreamy, droney, shoegazey tracks wash over you with overwhelming melancholy, paralyzing any thought you had of being chipper today. Tracks 2 and 4 are interludes more than anything, but tracks 1 and 2 clock in at somewhere around 7 minutes, giving this tape some heft. Though time has no bearing once your sucked into this release.

Pro tip: Track 3 on repeat for the win.



Get it.

Spiritualized - Sweet Heart Sweet Light (2012)

Listening to the new Spiritualized album 'Sweet Heart Sweet Light' on The Guardian's album stream. Hits and misses so far [loving 'heading for the top now' atm], but pretty great overall. Check it out.

still, Spacemen 3 was unbeatable.
