I’m looking for some new music, particularly in the vein of Yesterday was dramatic today is ok by mum. What are some good atmospheric glitchy albums?
múm is great…
Now you’ll need to check out Sigur Rós (Ágætis byrjun and the Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do EP, for example), The Album Leaf (In a Safe Place), Do Make Say Think (and you might as well check out some other Canadian post-rock while you’re at it: GY!BE, Fly Pan Am, A Silver Mt. Zion, One Speed Bike, etc.), Four Tet, Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Plaid, Board of Canada…
Lots of stuff overlaps with múm
Great list. I would also like to add Mice Parade to that. They have several songs featuring Kría Brekkan of múm.
Impressive that you recommend Sigur Ros without suggesting Takk.
Agaetis, () and Takk are a really good run of albums! I’ve been less interested in them since which maybe isn’t fair.
Nah, to be fair, 2008’s ‘Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust’ was a great album, but then they veered hard back into the ambient stuff, which doesn’t really interest me. But their work on ‘Odin’s Magic Raven’ that came out a couple of years back, and the new record, ‘Atta’ is back to what I love.
If you’re happy going a little heavier, then I can warmly recommend 65daysofstatic.
Also this We Lost The Sea record is absolutely beautiful.
I’ll check it out. I ventured into Mogwai a bit over the past couple of days which is a departure from the aforementioned mum album as well. Hunting for synths :)
Mogwai are wonderful. I picked up ‘As The Love Continues’ from Bandcamp on release day so I could have it in full, lossless glory. Richie Sacramento really gets my blood pumping.
