Music is starting to pass me by. Nfi what my favorite album/song from this year. Maybe Antagonist AD - Nothing from no one.
It's October, I think it's safe to say I can't think of anything to be released that'll trump Arliss Nancy's Simple Machines as my Album of the Year.
You like the Smith St Band Greemy? Warning - heavy Australian accent ahead: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XdTGtgTQRTA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Although it's not a song of 2012, I've only come across it this year after someone requesting it on JJJ so it sort of half counts in a round about way. It's 'twice' by Little Dragon, really simple song that I find remarkably sad. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yedD4JsZyT0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Yeah I give them a listen every now and again. Quite like what they're about and definitely dig the new album. Also I know they're friends with the guys in Like...Alaska and Jen Buxton which is how I first got into them. Will Wagner to be included next time the Revival Tour goes to Aussie imo.
subtle = not bombastic, not overblown, focus on details rather than big musical sweeps direct = maintaining intensity, demanding that the listener actively pays attention to the music rather than tuning out not hard
