Personally, I thought the artwork was kind of eye-catching and cool when I first saw it, but now that you mention it, it *feels* nothing like Blood on the Tracks. So I guess I’m with you on this one.

The new Beak > album — which is actually called “>>>” — is pretty interesting and easy to krautjam out to. Would kill for a Portishead album, but I’m good with anything Geoff Barrow wants to release at this point.

Worth a listen. Good stuff.

Damn SN, thanks for making that unquotable.

Yeah, that’s a damn appealing tracklist. I haven’t personally purchased a Bootleg Seires entry since 2010 (I think), but I’m tempted on this one.

These tend to have some seriously good finds in them, too. Not sure if you know this, but the best version of “One Too Many Mornings” ever recorded turns up on the 1966 “Royal Albert Hall” entry.

Goddamn Dylan, man.

Are you kidding me? Ya think I started listening to Dylan yesterday and that my first album was Empire Burlesque or some shit? Fuckin' A the "One Too Many Mornings" from The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 is the greatest! It's just... fuckin'... VOLCANIC is what it is. And Danko (or is it Manuel? Both?) adding raw, almost desperate backing vocals to the end of each chorus... MAN OH MAN.

"Essential Jeffness" is the term George Saunders uses to describe Jeff's new solo album WARM, and we think you'll agree.

Head over to The New Yorker to read the full liner notes by George Saunders, plus check out the single and video for "Some Birds."

Indeed. And just a couple of weeks before that his "memoir" comes out, so it's gonna be Tweedin' cooliosity galore.

Having said that... I think I would like my favorite artists to stop releasing new stuff for, I dunno, six months or something so I can CATCH THE FUCK UP. I mean, guys, please, cool it with the new shit for a bit — my wallet is A-HURTIN'...

Best new/most anticipated album TWENTY-NINETEEN, muthafuckas!

https://sharonvanetten.bandcamp.com/...nd-me-tomorrow

Sharon Van Etten's Remind Me Tomorrow comes four years after Are We There, and reckons with the life that gets lived when you put off the small and inevitable maintenance in favor of something more present. Throughout Remind Me Tomorrow, Sharon Van Etten veers towards the driving, dark glimmer moods that have illuminated the edges of her music and pursues them full force. With curling low vocals and brave intimacy, Remind Me Tomorrow is an ambitious album that provokes our most sensitive impulses: reckless affections, spirited nurturing, and tender courage.

"I wrote this record while going to school, pregnant, after taking the OA audition," says Van Etten. "I met Katherine Dieckmann while I was in school and writing for her film. She's a true New Yorker who has lived in her rent controlled west village apartment for over 30 years. Her husband lives across the hall. They raised two kids this way. When I expressed concern about raising a child as an artist in New York City, she said 'you're going to be fine. Your kids are going to be fucking fine. If you have the right partner, you'll figure it out together.'" Van Etten goes on, "I want to be a mom, a singer, an actress, go to school, but yeah, I have a stain on my shirt, oatmeal in my hair and I feel like a mess, but I'm here. Doing it. This record is about pursuing your passions." The reality is Remind Me Tomorrow was written in stolen time: in scraps of hours wedged between myriad endeavors - Van Etten guest-starred in The OA, and brought her music onstage in David Lynch's revival of Twin Peaks. Off-screen, she wrote her first score for Katherine Dieckmann's movie Strange Weather and the closing title song for Tig Notaro's show Tig. She goes on, "The album title makes me giggle. It occurred to me one night when I, on auto-pilot, clicked 'remind me tomorrow' on the update window that pops up all the time on my computer. I hadn't updated in months! And it's the simplest of tasks!"

The songs on Remind Me Tomorrow have been transported from Van Etten's original demos through John Congleton's arrangement. Congleton helped flip the signature Sharon Van Etten ratio, making the album more energetic-upbeat than minimal-meditative. "I was feeling overwhelmed. I couldn't let go of my recordings - I needed to step back and work with a producer." She continues, "I tracked two songs as a trial run with John ['Jupiter 4' and 'Memorial Day']. I gave him Suicide, Portishead, and Nick Cave's Skeleton Tree as references and he got excited. I knew we had to work together. It gave me the perspective I needed. It's going to be challenging for people in a good way." The songs are as resonating as ever, the themes are still an honest and subtle approach to love and longing, but Congleton has plucked out new idiosyncrasies from Van Etten's sound.

For Remind Me Tomorrow, Van Etten put down the guitar. When she was writing the score for Strange Weather her reference was Ry Cooder, so she was playing her guitar constantly and getting either bored or getting writer's block. At the time, she was sharing a studio space with someone who had a synthesizer and an organ, and she wrote on piano at home, so she naturally gravitated to keys when not working on the score - to clear her mind. Remind Me Tomorrow shows this magnetism towards new instruments: piano keys that churn, deep drones, distinctive sharp drums. It was "reverb universe" she says of the writing. There are intense synths, a propulsive organ, a distorted harmonium.

The demo version of "Comeback Kid" was originally a piano ballad, but driven by Van Etten's assertion that she "didn't want it to be pretty", it evolved into a menacing anthem. Cavernous drones pull the freight for "Memorial Day," which fleshes out an introvert in warrior mode. The spangled "Seventeen" began as a Lucinda Williams-esque dirge but wound up more of a nod to Bruce Springsteen, exploring gentrification and generational patience. Van Etten shows the chain reaction, of moving to a city bright-eyed and hearing the elders complain about the city changing, and then being around long enough to know what they were talking about. She wrote the song semi-inter-generationally with Kate Davis, who sang on a demo version when the song was in its infancy.

Since her last album, Van Etten has had a young son, and family life is joyful. Preparing and finishing these songs, she found herself expressing deep doubts about the world around him, and a complicated need to present a bright future for him. "There is a tear welling up in the back of my eye as I'm singing these love songs," she says, "I am trying to be positive. There is strength to them. It's - I wouldn't say it's a mask, but it's what the parents have to do to make their kid feel safe."

Alongside working on Remind Me Tomorrow, Van Etten has been exploring her talents (musical, emotional, otherwise) down other paths. She's continuing to act, to write scores and soundtrack contributions, and she's returning to school for psychology. The breadth of these passions, of new careers and projects and lifelong roles, have inflected Remind Me Tomorrow with a wise sense of a warped-time perspective. This is the tension that arches over the album, fusing a pained attentive realism and radiant lightness about new love.

So...

This time it *is* called “MassEducation?”
Because remember the first time it was called “MASSEDUCTION” and consistently mistyped as “MASSEDUCATION.”

But... the stripped down, reworked version of “MASSEDUCTION” is indeed called “MassEducation?”

Yeah, yeah I did look at the cover, that’s how I knew you weren’t just spacing out. Because the title of the album that is being reworked here is “Masseduction.” That Album was frequently — on this very board — mistakenly referred to as “Mass-Education.” And now a “stripped back” version of the album is being released and its official name is the erroneous name of the album being reworked.

Just sayin’

Like y’know lol

New Kristin Hersh album 'Possible Dust Clouds'. Loving it after the first listen, a lot more aggressive and noisy than her last solo album. No one else makes music like this.

Mountain Movers - Pink Skies (Trouble in Mind)



I can't remember the last time I was so excited about a new album. This is a perfect follow-up to their excellent album last year. It'll certainly be too heavy and slow for some, and that is ok!



These guys would be huge in England right now. There would be fucking riots if they played the right places.



I could listen to these sounds for hours...



my pink vinyl copy sounds flawless, no crackles or static.
