    @ me.

    XXX completely slipped my mind - I knew how much you liked it. It really is a good album, but just a tad too long.

          Sometimes when I post it will say currently unavailable. I looked into it and apparently you are supposed to clear the cache. So I clear it and nothing changes. But sometimes when I load this thread sometimes they show up properly. Which is why I at least post the youtube video just in case.

            Explosions in the Sky - Take Care, Take Care, Take Care



            Explosions in the Sky - Take Care, Take Care, Take Care - 03 - Trembling Hands by niquolass

            We are at that point in the list where I pretty much only have good things to say about the album. I think Ky posted this as a top album and even Woy asked for a link to this when it leaked. Favorite tracks for me has to be Human Qualities and Be Comfortable, Creature. I really don't know what to say besides this being a veryyyyy good ambient-ish album. I am not big on the ambient scene besides a couple Nicholas Jaar songs so I was kind of surprised I enjoyed this album so much. At times it can be slow moving, and this definitely is an album you listen to in full. Each track will grow and evolve over time and makes for interesting drug music, or study music. I think the beauty of this album is it will evoke a different emotion and feeling for every person. Which I think is pretty incredible.

              STAYING ON THEME OF AMBIENT ISH BUT NOT REALLY MUSIC HONORABLE MENTION

              Teeel - Amulet



              Teeel - Amulet by Moodgadget

              I don't remember how I found this album. Probably exploring the nodata links. But anywho it made its way onto my ipod during the spring semester last year. Maybe because I had a lot of morning classes that semester so I would walk in a haze of tiredness, but this album seemed to be the album of choice most of the time. I don't think they have much of a following, probably because they don't do anything spectacular. But I love the beats. It actually might have made a top album list of mine if I made a list at May. I wrote too much for an honorable mention.

                  Good choice with Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. One of my favorite non-rap/R&B albums of this year.

                    NUMBER 14

                    The Antlers - Burst Apart



                    The Antlers - French Exit by Republic of Music

                    Gotta admit this album grew on me. Early on I did not really see much of the hype. Yeah they sound like some NYC indie band, that's cool. I noticed a lot of people liking this so I tried to figure out more on the band. I listened to their previous album Hospice, and I think that changed my opinion on this album because by the end of the year Burst Apart had over 42 playthroughs. How that happened I don't really know. Favorite tracks are French Exit and Every Night My Teeth are Falling Out. There really aren't any weak spots in this album to be honest. They probably wanted to create a dreamy, groovy, electronic, and some rock n roll throughout and they obviously sound confident in doing that which only makes me enjoy it more. Maybe it was Silberman's (singer) sad falsettos on upbeat beats that sound so good. And it kept me coming back for more so it had to make the list somewhere. I feel like 14 fits for this. It's obviously good, I just can't put my finger on why I like it so much. If I ever get a chance this would be a band I would love to see live just to get more of a feel for them.

                      WHAT A HONORABLE MENTION



                      Beach Fossils - What a Pleasure EP

                      I changed the layout because I don't like that everything looks the same and this my list so it's whatever. But I picked another NYC indie band. Where would this list be without some irony?

                          So far I have checked out BBNG and John Maus. Like both a lot, find them to be very relaxing. Listened to Pitiless Censors this morning while I cleaned the kitchen and it made for a pleasant experience.

                          Downloading the Real Estate and Danny Brown joints now.
