<i>MUUIXX </i>starts off in a warmly beautiful electro-acoustic trot, only to take a series of associative leaps and departures, playfully intermarrying organicism with industrial menace. Never not willing to take a left turn, the album makes a point of settling into the unsettling back alleys of pop-electronics. It's a harrowing head-nodder that sparks the ear with grinning textures atop slabs of gilded waste.<br />

My favorite album of 2015 until I discovered it came out in October of last year. Regardless, I've been listening to this all year. It's sooo weird. I think of it as the <i>Disintegration Loops</i> of vaporwave, which tells you something about it's presence. Absolutely amazing.<br />

And I'm okay with that, up to a point. However, when I realize that not only has New Zealand noise god Campbell Kneale resurrected his Birchville Cat Motel moniker (thanks <a href="http://antigravitybunny.com/?p=10072" target="_blank">AGB</a>!), but, combined with Our Love Will Destroy the World, has put out at least 5 or 6 albums this year alone, I'm embarrassed. And thrilled. If I'm remaking my 2015 mid-year music list and limiting myself to, like, ten albums, probably half of them are Campbell Kneale's. That's how good these are sounding in my headphones. I'm giddy to be sorting through these for the next little while. And you should be too:<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Chenaux has been creating slow-burning outsider blues and balladry for some time now, all of it consistently beautiful and weird. <i>Skullsplitter </i>though is weirder and more beautiful than the rest.<br /><b><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/192988474&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe> </b></span><b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Don't sleep on The Go! Team. I know, they seem like old news. Maybe they are old news, I don't know.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Neatly composed, classically beautiful piano pieces that, as the album progresses, take on minimalist electronics and a spryly playful air. More conservative than his debut, <i>Garcon</i> has been my palette cleanser, a nice counterpoint to the more chaotic music that's been dominating my headphones.<br />

Always happy to stumble upon Matana Roberts projects (or one's she's involved in). And this trio is really great. Released last year (2014), <i>Feldspar</i> is an awesome, slow-moving, almost bluesy avant jazz album matching alto sax, contrabass, and electric guitar. Super swell sounds for adventurous listeners.<br />

100% recommendation. Their best yet. Really, really amazing laser beam noise wonder and awe. Ranks up their with the new Zs album, the new John Wiese album, the new Mount Eerie Album, the new Liturgy album, the new Matana Roberts album, i.e., the best music of 2015.<br />

In January I almost posted a year-end list of my favorite music from 2014. I’d been re-listening to a lot of what came out during the past year and figuring out what I’d listened to most, what I’d liked most. And, as you’ll notice, I’d already put together a <a href="http://forestgospel.blogspot.com/2015/01/favorite-2014-books.html" target="_blank">books list</a>, so I was poised to get back into the game of year-end nonsense after missing last year (and yes, it’s nonsense, but I love it all the same). What stopped me this year was an inkling that Drip Audio might’ve put something out that I’d missed. Drip Audio, if you’re not already familiar, is an absolutely amazing label out of Canada that only puts out the best of the weirdest best, often limiting themselves to one or two releases a year, and, following whatever cycle they’ve been running on over the past few years, often putting the stuff out in the middle of December, when everyone else is looking backward trying to tally the year’s offerings. So, of course, I pull up there home site, and what do I find? There’s a new Subtle Lip Can album. And, just like that, I’m unable to post my list—not without listening to this album. And not just because it’s a Drip Audio release (which will invariably demand a spot on any worthwhile best-of list), but because Subtle Lip Can’s eponymous debut stands as one of the best records I’ve heard in the last ten years. So, my apologies, you can find the list below*, but more importantly, <i>Subtle Lip Can has a new record!!</i> And, hot damn, it’s a brain scrambler. As well one would hope. Still swimming against the current, the trio (Josh Zubot on violin, Bernard Falaise on guitar, Isaiah Ceccarelli on drums) contort their instruments into plinging, gut-bursting, animal-heaving monstrousities. One of the things I really loved about their debut was this quality of playing that generated these gloriously animalistic sounds, nothing like traditional instruments, but more like the loosing of the souls of beasts. And Reflective Drime picks up that thread, those animalisms, with an added tinniness, a here-and-there bed of industrialism, with wide scrapes and pinnish micro-punctures. The bottom line of which is to say, thank everything, there’s a new Subtle Lip Can--get it now and be destroyed. There’s nothing like quite like them.<br />

And, truth be told, it's not likely to reignite any time soon. That said, I don't think we'll ever just out-and-out quit the thing--who would even care if we did? And so, in a surprise move: a list! Sure, you're probably well past caring about any more year-end lists (at least I am). But then again, who am I even addressing? Myself, mostly. Self: These are my favorite books of the year, books that seem to be underrepresented in terms of year-end love, which is why I'm compelled to post this here. It's an unranked list, and I know that I missed reading a million books that would/could/should probably be here (money/time), but regardless, everyone should read these books.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Dan</i> by Joanna Ruocco (Dorothy, a publishing project)<br />
<br />
I know I said this was an unranked list, but <i>Dan </i>was for sure my favorite book of the year. It's the book that I wish I was always reading. Ruocco's amazing sentences in <i>Dan</i> remind me a lot of Flann O'Brien, both in terms of their humor and Ruocco's ability to write the hell out of any and everything. Made me LOL every couple pages for real (and dumbly smiling for all the rest). Just thinking about it...I think I'm going to go re-read it, right now.<br />

<b style="font-style: italic;">Arsène Schrauwen</b> by Olivier Schrauwen (Fantagraphics)<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Silence Once Begun</i> by Jesse Ball (Pantheon)<br />
<br />
I wrote a pretty glowing review for this thing <a href="http://heavyfeatherreview.com/2014/08/04/silence-once-begun-by-jesse-ball/" target="_blank">here</a>, so maybe you can read up on it there? It's really an amazing book that quietly destroys you. I'm a pretty big Jesse Ball fan and I think it's probably his best.<br />

<b><i>Discomfort</i> </b>by Evelyn Hampton (Ellipses Press)<br />
<b><br /></b>Oops, this actually just came out. I had an advanced copy--why did I think it came out last year? Oh, well: still so good. <strike>Friend alert! Yep, I know Evelyn. We're probably friends. So, I'm pretty happy that her debut collection is as super weird and awesome as it is. I don't know another imagination quite like Evelyn's--every premise, every observation, it's like, WTF, who is this girl? It's so great.</strike><br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">How to be Happy</i> by Eleanor Davis (Fantagraphics)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://twitter.com/danseafrica/status/50263810853965824" target="_blank">Twitter evidence</a> that I pretty much got the ball rolling on this collection back in 2011. Definitely worth the wait. Davis is probably in a three-way-tie for the oft-considered category of Nick's Favorite Cartoonist, so having a collection that exhibits such a wide range of her work is super rad.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Here</i> by Richard McGuire (Pantheon)<br />
<br />
An absolutely gorgeous comics treatise on place, wherein Richard McGuire brilliantly offers up a vision of the corner of a room, its history and future, both before it existed and after it's gone. The books a formal masterpiece, the kind of work comics scholars will be referencing for years to come. And rightly so.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">In the Marble of Your Animal Eyes</i> by Nathan Hauke (Publication Studio)<br />
<br />
Friend alert, part two! I'm sorry, I can't help it if my friends are super talented and wrote some of my favorite books of 2014. And <i>In the Marble of Your Animal Eyes</i>, a book-length sequence of poems, is simply the most beautiful. Incorporating a facsimile transcription of Hauke's pencil edits, every page has a wonderful tactile energy of a genius poet's imagination at work.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">In Pieces</i> by Marion Fayolle (Nobrow)<br />
<br />
Marion Fayolle's <i>In Pieces</i> is deserving of a much wider audience. Her book, <i>In Pieces</i>, gorgeously produced by the amazing folks at Nobrow Press, is one of the best examples of comics poetry I've found, whether or not she regards it as such. Filled with lovely vignettes, both darkly humorous and poignant, Fayolle's work achieves a quiet gravitas rarely found in comics.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Travel Notes</i> by Stanley Crawford (Calamari)<br />
<br />
Okay, so this was originally published in 1967, and, truth be told, I own an original copy. Still, any chance to recommend the writing of Stanley Crawford is a chance I'll take. So thank you Calamari Press for republishing this lost classic, because if you haven't read the machinations of Crawford's mind, his sentences, what are you doing with your time?<br />

QUARTERBACKS<br />
<i>QUARTERBOY</i><br />
[Double Double Whammy, 2014]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
For New Weird Utah nostalgists, upstaters, the tape label kids, people with guts: QUARTERBOY. No record of the last few years has made me feel more like I'm leaned into a corner of the shed at Kilby Court, arms tucked tight against my coat on a neck-snappingly cold winter night in 2006 or 2007. You can see everybody's breath in the house. High-school kids shivering cross-legged on the cement floor in front of the stage. The quietest you've ever heard an audience at a show. Singing right into your young and hungry hearts.<br />
<br />
QUARTERBOY is a solo outing from Dean Engle, whose QUARTERBACKS is usually a punky three-piece. It's offered on tape from Double Double Whammy, the Purchase, NY-based label currently staging a full-fledged political takeover of the Eastern Seabord – stacked with bands, shilling Olympian DIY communitarianism, proprietors of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dblainesteak">David Blaine's The Steakhouse</a>. Get in on the ground floor.<br />
<br />
A cursory glance at the credits, liners and thanks of the DDW catalogue sees Engle's name popping up left and right, and you get the sense that QUARTERBACKS is at the core of a swelling movement up and down the Hudson Valley like so many scenes before it. The music is honest and brave and true.<br />
<br />
Long live K Records, long live Marriage. Long live Sarah, long live SST. Long live Shrimper, long live A. Star. As long as there's kids there'll be kids doing this, and it'll never stop feeling this good. QUARTERBOY has the distinct emotional affect of one Thanksgiving song that I sometimes listened to more than 60 times in a row on late late nights in college. Or the Navigator CD-R I seem to play every single time I find myself, wistful, on a flight back from my grown-up life to stay in my childhood bedroom, an untouched time-capsule in the basement of my parents' home in Centerville, Utah. Certain songs, they get so scratched into our souls.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Notes<br />1. It is perhaps worth noting that this guy looks exactly like McKay Felt, who played up and down the Wasatch Front as The See Through Boy in those beloved mid-aughts years, and whom, full disclosure or at least bringing it all back home, I once played bass for.<br />

Put this buzz in your ears, leave it there forever, or some amount of time where you're like, okay, yeah, heaven, house, and it's in your head, and you don't even need headphones anymore it's always there, everything's better, voila, cured.<br />

It's been over five years since Brian Mumford, aka Dragging an Ox Though Water, released his debut solo album, <i>The Tropics of Phenomenon</i>, which was not only <a href="http://forestgospel.blogspot.com/2009/12/thistles-best-favourites-of-2009.html" target="_blank">one of my favorite albums of that year</a>, but one of my <a href="http://forestgospel.blogspot.com/2010/01/57.html" target="_blank">favorite albums of the last decade</a>. So I'm immensely grateful to Logan Maus, who had the goodness in him to notify me of this, Mumford's follow up, <i>Panic Sentry</i>. And finding it put out by Mississippi Records (& Eggy Records) seems the perfect fit. There's a bit less electronic carnage on this record, but the songs are no less off-kilter in their quiet immensity and overwhelming beauty. I am in love with it--absolutely essential.<br />

Seems like everyone discovered Ian William Craig late last year with his astounding album, <i><a href="http://ianwilliamcraig.bandcamp.com/album/a-forgetting-place" target="_blank">A Forgetting Place</a>. Theia and the Archive,</i> the follow-up, is equally good, confirming the validity of the Tim Hecker/Fennesz comparisons. Looks like we have a new auteur on our hands.<br />
