The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I'm hoping I can motivate myself and/or find time to write up my mini-reviews, but for now I'll join in with those listing favorites so far:
p2p - Impossible Burger Joyfultalk - Familiar Science Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There Esmerine - Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More Duster - Together Eric Chenaux - Say Laura Country Phasers - Country Phasers Animal Collective - Time Skiffs Kee Avil - Crease God Speed You Black Emperor! - All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling (it counts in my book)

Just saw a blurb on that Cola record. How round you describe it dad?
I know you asked this of dad, but I don't think he ever got back to you, so I figured I'd chime in. My cousin called it fairly straightforward post-punk, and it's definitely conservative in its aims and composition. It's quite rhythmically focused and kinda spiky with the guitar. I've been enjoying it myself, as I was a fan of Ought, the band that two of Cola used to be in, but also because I find it nestles nicely into my pleasure centers. It doesn't try to do anything grand, and I don't really want it to.

yeah, i definitely missed trag's question, but i agree with everything Brett said here. I'm just glad the Ought guys are still making music. one of the things I enjoy about Tim Darcy's vocals is they work in a post-punk record, and he can sound like Roy Orbison on his solo stuff.

Suddenly excited about that Horsegirl album coming up this Friday. I've only heard Anti-Glory so far and it's really good. Maybe it's the summer heat, but I'm really feeling that jagged guitar.

Beyond Matador’s imprimatur, it was recorded in the band’s hometown of Chicago at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio by producer John Agnello, the indie super-producer whose client list includes Dinosaur Jr., the Hold Steady, Waxahatchee, Nothing, Hop Along, Kurt Vile, and many more. Steve Shelley and Lee Ranaldo, members of key Horsegirl influence Sonic Youth, contribute to a pair of the most thrilling tracks, the tumbling, flanging noise-pop stunner “Beautiful Song” (truth in advertising) and the triumphantly fuzzed-out closer “Billy.”

Dad, did you see they released a 7" "Billy" single with a cover of "History Lesson Pt. 2" as the b-side? I'm sliding into my local record store's DMs post haste.
