I still listen to indie rock. I've heard the new Japandroids, Cloud Nothings, and Surfer Blood. They are all.... ok. |

I've been on a big African kick recently. And diving deeper into MPB (Modern Brazilian Pop -- yes, I know the acronym is off). |

I listen to a bit of African stuff but still know almost nothing. I've really enjoyed a lot of stuff I've heard from Mulatu Astatke. And the Awesome Tapes from Africa label has great stuff as does Analog Africa. Been digging a late 2016 release from BROOKZILL!, a group with Prince Paul and others collaborating with some Brazillian musicians for a nice blend of hip hop and Brazilian music. https://brookzill.bandcamp.com/ Also... this... |

Josef Leimberg: Astral Progressions Modern astral jazz hip hop fusion stuff. If you liked Kamasi Washington's The Epic, he's featured on this one and you'll probably dig it too. |

The Shins - Heartworms : Granted I haven't paid much attention to them as of late, but this new one did very little for me. I love the oldiescore flavor of the title track. I wish the rest of the album was like that. Unfortunately not. |

So has that great run of Spoon albums come to an end? I know they are trying to develop their sound a little with each album but this seems very flabby, no edge at all. Even Britt's vocals seem lost in over production. I am incredibly tired and in an incredibly bad mood so maybe I need to come back to it in better days.... |

I guess I was in a receptive mood, because I enjoyed it, for the most part. I still like Transference the least, though some of the songs on that have grown on me over the years. I haven't LOVED a Spoon album since Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. This one is about on par with They Want My Soul - good, but not great. |

On my third listen and this still sounds well short of the last three albums which were all great and a progression on each other. There are some good songs but it sounds a bit wet, lacking punch, tired. When the instrumental tracks are in the top half best songs on the album then you have to start thinking there is a fair amount of filler on there. To me this sounds like a mediocre album by a great band. The ideas are there in the background but they just don't come alive. |

To put my current level of Spoon-based enthusiasm in perspective, I was MUCH, MUCH more excited about the new Real Estate album being released on that same day. I still really like Spoon, but my fanaticism has waned somewhat over the years. |
