Updated my list to add Terrace Martin's Drones to the mix.
Speaking of The Drones, Springtime - s/t comes out this Friday.Updated my list to add Terrace Martin's Drones to the mix.
I've tried to get into Hammock a few times in the past and while I generally like most of what they do sometimes it's a little on the boring side. I don't know why but drones, piano, synths I can do, but electric guitar feels like it needs something else along side it. I like their first album the most because it feels more post-rocky. With that said I'll probably check this one out.If you are into ambient that often includes sparse piano / guitar compositions, there is a new Hammock album out today called Elsewhere. I've loved their work, so very excited for this.

Another one that missed my list...
I look forward to a full length album some day; all his EPs have been fantastic so far.
The surprise album for me today is Joan As Police Woman, Tony Allen & Dave Okumu "The Solution Is Restless". It's a very chill, jazzy, ethereal album. I'm really impressed with it.
I really like Valentine as a whole perhaps even more than Lush. This album will most definitely be featured on my AOTY list come December.I was critical of this Snail Mail album with the last 2 singles but I quite like the rest of it. It's still got some guitar and a lot of nice, I want to say 80s, vibes in places. It works as a whole.
This Nation of Language album suffers from the fact they released 5 out of the 10 tracks as singles before release date. Had I not heard any I might like it more. I get weary of that many singles because usually your singles are the better tracks and when the whole thing is out it's kind of a let down. Might be a grower though.
Anyone check out ABBA's new album? I've been really diving into their discography hard the past few weeks and I was super excited to hear their new stuff after the fantastic lead single. But I'm so sad the say I'm pretty underwhelmed with it. Granted they really aren't known for albums and are mainly about singles and hits but I usually get more out of them then I did this. Besides "Don't shut me down" the album just feels like its missing that spark they usually have
