i like dream pop but even so i thought teen dream was boring as hell so is it worth getting beach house's new one?
also, top 4 this year for me so far (no order (or i guess the order in which i think of them)) is
Loma Prieta - IV
Tindersticks - The Something Rain
Saltillo - Monocyte
Oren Ambarchi - Audience of One
and then there's a tie between a bunch of bands like portico quartett, the saddest landscape, message to bears, pop. 1280 etc all of whom have put out strong albums but not quite on the level as the above have imo.
anyone else think that jan / feb were pretty great music wise but after that the releases have just dropped off a bit? there's little that has interested me for the past month or so.
