Good album. It does the usual 60s pop/girl group tribute, but it does it very well. Everyone that voted for the Pipettes last year should be voting for Lucky Soul this year. Hooks galore:

I adore the Pipettes, but i found the Lucky Soul album terribly bland and annoying.

Im heartened by all this love for Untrue. Personal favourite lists so far: Vurt and Avec (of course) and........

Monatna

In case anyone's interested, here's my #1 pick. It would be nice to see a little more Red Krayola love on this board.

vote for it

And I don't know if it's too late to suggest to keep newbies from posting their list since they could just be multiple accounts.

how new is too new?

Each to their own, I guess, and it seems that you are I can't find much common ground when it comes to pop. I find Lucky Soul's more Dusty-esque take more charming, but I don't have any problem with the Pipettes.

In case anyone's interested, here's my #1 pick. It would be nice to see a little more Red Krayola love on this board.

Who are you?


Looks like we already passed by the "good list" portion of this thread.

[Hey Montana, have you listened to this Robert Wyatt album?

it sort of seems like your thing, but then again, you could probably hate it. so who knows.

Who are you?

Haven't heard it. Will give it a try.

really surprised to see that Montana isn't into DO MAKE SAY THINK.

DO MAKE SAY THINK - You, You're A History In Rust

"Since Constellation issued their self-released debut record in 1998, Do Make Say Think have made one critically-acclaimed album after another. They are one of the most consistently inventive instrumental rock bands of the past decade, and one of the most self-realised: DMST members themselves have recorded, mixed and mastered all the band’s work, developing a highly original and finely detailed approach to audio production. You, You’re A History In Rust is the fifth record by Do Make Say Think and a brilliant extension of the band's unique sonic narrative.

In many ways the new album picks up where Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn (cst025, 2003) left off - acoustic fingerpicked guitars are the recurring compositional anchor, with drums and percussion fluttering around these campfire themes while horns and electric guitars gather in swarms. The songs on You, You’re A History In Rust develop like moths drawn to a flame, instruments tracing erratic circles around a flickering, elusive centre. This organic non-linearity will be familiar to fans of the band, as DMST has been honing this kind of overlapping, multi-thematic ebb and flow over the last couple of records. And as these fans know, DMST's approach to musical deconstruction is never academic, forced, or played merely for effect; it is always a matter of weaving the captured elements together with the mixing desk played like a master instrument. As with previous releases, DMST set up in remote locations for the main recording sessions, tracking these new songs at a cottage and barn in rural Ontario, Canada and returning to their Toronto homebase at th'Schvitz studio for overdubs and mixing by production wizards Charles, Ohad and Justin.

Album opener "Bound To Be That Way" puts all these elements on fine display: recorded rhythmic and melodic figures fade in and out along with found and recovered sounds, lead instruments slide and shift in the mix, and the band's dual drummers deploy separate channels of syncopated stutter. "A With Living" will surprise hardcore DMST followers, as it features full-on verse-chorus-verse singing that builds towards lovely massed vocals before breaking down again into a beautiful modal horn denouement. "The Universe!" and "Herstory Of Glory" serve as tight, snappy firecrackers set off within the rest of the album’s pensive, dusky atmosphere. Constellation is thrilled to release this fifth album by one of our most creative, thoughtful, challenging and accessible groups. The CD is available in a 6-panel cardstock jacket and the LP features DMM mastering at Abbey Road and is pressed on 180g virgin vinyl. Thanks for listening."

Release Date: 12 February 2007 (Europe), 26 February 2007 (rest of world)

did you ever see pants yell! when you were at mit, sm?

DMST's latest wasn't amazing, but they're definitely a great band

i was pretty let down by most post-rock this year, EITS included

i was pretty let down by most post-rock this year, EITS included

instrumental group with connections to Broken Social Scene and Godspeed You Black Emperor. long epic tunes, thought that if you dig Mono then maybe you would know this...

You didn't hear that Mono then.

but since Gone is just a collection of EP tracks and rarities, i'd already heard most of it before. It probably belongs in the Compilation list honestly...

i dig Mono, but not nearly as much as EITS, DMST, Red Sparrows, etc. You Are There from last year did pretty well on my list i think though.

Alot of it was unreleased, so I think it belongs.

I don't remember it placing on your list last year. Could be wrong though.

actually none of it was unreleased:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_%28Mono_album%29

Tracks 1 and 2 are from Hey, You.

Track 3 is from the Mono/Pelican split.

Tracks 4 and 5 are from the Memorie dal Futuro 10"

. Track 6 is from Temporary Residence's "Thankful" compilation.

Vampire Weekend - Blue CD-R

So are we voting for this then?

Most of these tracks are now available for the first time on CD, in a non-limited release format.

Vampire Weekend - Blue CD-R

So are we voting for this then?

I continue to be baffled by the outpouring of love for that drone-tone sleep inducer Stars of the Lid, whose bandwagon I admittedly jumped on for a day before a couple more listens revealed it to be seriously overhyped and not nearly as cool as everyone seems to think it is (think of it as this year's Tim Hecker).
