Checked out two new albums today: Fever Ray’s Self Titled and Dan Deacon’s Bromst.

First impressions:

• Both are (almost) wholly electronic.
• Both are unique.
• Both create their own world. These are the kind of records you can get inside (and stay a while if you like).

Fever Ray:

• No one else really explores this kind of emotional territory.
• Austere, cold, stark, scary, and pretty.
• Not exactly a spring record, but i have to imagine this sounds great on a dark, stormy Saturday in December.

Dry And Dusty - Fever Ray

Dan Deacon:

• Always dense.
• Sometimes irritating (fucking chipmunk voices).
• Often sublime.

Of The Mountains - Dan Deacon

Cool shit. Happy Thursday. Go Blazers.
