Argentinian post-rock/math rock/post-hardcore/etc. that suits exactly the obscurantist taste that I cultivated via the blogosphere in high school. They seem very pretentious, but the songs are quite short, which feels generous of them... you don't need to sit through 5 minutes of bells to hear the cool riff (see Frances the Mute). In fact, their whole 17 song output is only a 43-minute long playlist on Spotify, which I've linked here. RIYL: Tera Melos, Kayo Dot, maybe Deafheaven

Haven't been here in a while, craving a different social media vibe. Here's a band I discovered recently in my Search For the World's Finest Emo. For fans of bands like The Appleseed Cast or Mineral.

Blindsided by this, really sad. The list of Albini's productions is jaw-dropping. Magnolia Electric Company is one of the great pieces of post-industrial Americana, bleak and beautiful. Farewell Transmission is Jason Molina's most powerful recording, but the album (incl. outtakes) is stacked. Heavy & gorgeous, suitable for the moment.

⭐Tearing up right now instead of working. I moved to the city as the last of Williamsburg's artistic energy was spent, and I moved to the edge of the neighborhood after it was already hollowed out. God bless the few places that are still interesting: Spectacle, Union Pool, Ore Bar, Blue Sun, Miriam Gallery, The P.I.T., Baby's, etc.
Are there places in NYC with a real artistic scene now, or did our new way of living end that possibility? Please don't say Hudson, there's no way I can learn to make furniture.

⭐More of a look back on the making of the album, no footage from the actual recording, iirc. But great banter, good insights into the process.
The Wilco doc about making Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is good and dramatic, too—I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.
