Cool tune indeed!

 

The GTA V soundtrack in its entirety is pretty damn amazing. At some point during almost every play session, I have just picked a cool car, tuned to a radio channel more or less at random and gone on a leisure cruise around the island. It is the best.

 

They added a shitload of new songs to the PS4/XBONE/PC version, by the way:

Really enjoying this.

 

 

I don't think this new DG track is going to end up a favourite but it's pretty fun.

Meant to post this earlier, but Whales, from Hail Mary Mallon's latest album, is pretty great:

 

 

The whole album is fantastic, really.

:0 Last I heard Brock was regularly going ape shit at people picnicking in the park behind his apartment if they played Modest Mouse.

 

This is one of those bands where I hear one song I love then find out I hate everything else they've ever done:

 

Their back catalogue is so twee and feels like it's superficially touring other cultures. I'd recommend chasing it with that Run the Jewels Album Clyde posted, or Spare Ass Annie by William S. Burroughs.

Fuck.

 

I should just listen to the whole album already, that was amazing.

Shawn Lee did the music for Bully right? Never played but seen some praise for the soundtrack. His other stuff does sound superficial as you put it based on what little I've heard.

Some damn fine techno:

I don't have GTA V, and found it through this Jon Hopkins Radio 1 mix:

It's well worth tracking down if you can't access that due to country restrictions or it being more than a month since it aired or whatever.

 

Daniel Avery's album is awesome. It's available through Erol Alkan's record label, Phantasy Sound. The whole album is brilliant -

 

I particular like the tracks Water Jump and Drone Logic.

 

I'm excited for the album release of another Phantasy Sound artist in January - Ghost Culture.

Oh, yeah! Drone Logic is great. I didn't realise he and Ghost Culture were on the same label, but spent quite a bit of this year looping Guidecca.

Hey now this is really good. Usually hippedy hoppedy and the ol' Rhythm and Bass music don't mix well with me, but this is pretty ace. The whole album is good! (Although this is the best song)

 

The only thing that's reasonably close to this that I like is Dan Le Sac

 

 

It even has the same sense of humor

This is really fantastic, thanks. Gonna have to have a poke through that list (since it won't play any more), Mr. Hopkins has some damn fine taste.

Holy cow, this guy really has the whole heavily layered/looped one man band thing down. Sounds so huge.

Hah yeah that was pretty neat. 

 

I checked out another song of his and the comp is so delightfully mad. It kind of reminds me of early Battles minus the vocals.

The only vaporwave song I ever came across and actually liked was this.

My go-to reference for solo loop-based stuff will always be Dosh:

It's neither new nor revelatory, but Damage by Yo La Tengo came up on shuffle today and I was reminded of how great it is:

On the subject of songs about damage that make me feel kind of sad, here's Blonde Redhead:
