Funny, I would kill to see them. My bandmate and his partner crossed the ocean to see them at the rocket recordings 20th anniversary Festival last week.

Really enjoying the new Screaming Females album. It doesn't feel as vital as the last two albums to me, but still a heap of great moments and individual songs.

My state just elected the first conservative government in 15 years yesterday, so I'm cranking this and pretending the world doesn't exist for a couple of days. It's working so far!

Now you can add a Kanye-produced Nas album to the list. ;)

I knaaaawwww!!

We’ll see though. We’ll see.

A Kanye album, a Kanye collab, and THREE top-to-bottom Ye produces joints in the next two months?

Somehow I doubt everything will shake out that way.

The glass is half empty with this one, haha

I think the best solution is that I cut off my ears

Pablo's Eye - Spring Break

amazing album

Nah. Not like these are Drake projects.

the latest release from Constellation Records will be a reissue:

Quote:

Alanis Obomsawin is a member of the Abenaki Nation and one of Canada's foremost activist documentary filmmakers. Based in Montréal, she has directed 50 films with the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) that explore the lives and concerns of Canada's First Nations, receiving some of the country's highest accolades, including The Order of Canada, the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Art, and most recently the 2017 Order of Montréal.

Before establishing herself as a filmmaker, Obomsawin began her artistic life as a singer-songwriter in the 1960s, as Indigenous artists from across North America were rallying in new assertions of cultural identity, consciousness and political rights, calling for reckonings with oppressive colonial history. She was invited by Folkways to perform at Town Hall in New York City in the early 1960s and spent most of that decade primarily identifying as a musician and social activist, channeling traditional First Nations songs hand-in-hand with modern composition and arrangements.

Obomsawin kept her musical output percolating alongside her burgeoning documentary film career, with performances at the legendary Mariposa Folk Festival among others. In the mid-1980s Canada's national broadcaster (CBC Radio) invited Obomsawin to record an album; unsatisfied with these recordings, she reclaimed the master tapes, remixed the material, re-recorded the title track from scratch, and issued the ensuing Bush Lady album on her own private press in 1988 complete with her own artwork and liner notes. Lacking formal distribution - and with Obomsawin focused primarily on her documentary film career - only a portion of this pressing was sold at the time, the remainder occupying a closet in her Montréal home. The album has grown to become an increasingly legendary rarity ever since.

Bush Lady is a unique and magical record by any definition. It's an invaluable example of contemporary First Nations music that blends traditional folkways with avant-garde composition. Amidst the broader and long-overdue resurgence of interest in modern Indigenous music - perhaps most notably culminating with the Grammy-nominated Native North America (Vol. 1) released in 2014 - Constellation is honoured to be working with this Canadian cultural icon to issue a remastered version of Bush Lady on audiophile 180gram vinyl and on CD for the first time. Thanks for listening.

There's one song for streaming on their site. But the original album can be streamed here. It reminds me a little bit of the solo album of Jessica Moss

Since Big Stick has been saying they've been working on a new album for the past 24 years, I've been taking the "updates" on their facebook page with a grain of salt. But apparently it's for real this time. They've received and listened to a test pressing of the vinyl version. They say the new album will be released in the spring (we're already there, though you wouldn't know it by the weather where I live) or summer. Really looking forward to this one.

There will be not one but TWO live albums released of Oiseaux Tempete this year !!!!

First one:

This was recorded in 2016, and will be released on June 1 2018, in an edition of only 300 CD's.

Second one:
This one is named TARAB طَرَبٌ and will be released as a 2xLP (but hopefully also on CD or even DVD?) on the Sub Rosa label later this year. It's not listed yet anywhere, but there's already a YT clip of it: OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE - CARNAVAL (LIVE)
It was recorded at the Trabendo in Paris, and I was there :D
And I so much hope that this release will be complete and unedited, the final encore song is as far unreleased and it was mind-blowingly awesome

New fucking DJ KOZE comes out tomorrow!
Five years of waiting!

Knock knock, motherfuckers!

not necessarily most anticipated, but this is an interesting combo:

Chantal Acda & Bill Frisell - Live At Jazz Middelheim
it will be released on 25.05.2018

listen to one track already on YT:
Chantal Acda & Bill Frisell - Son (Live at Jazz Middelheim) I Glitterhouse Records

On my first listen Jon Hopkins' new album. It's been a ling time coming but it's been totally worth it. Loving it.
