Foscil - Residential

I LOVE this record.

 

    Quote
Much of the 12-track all-instrumental release evokes the bravura melancholy of Miles Davis and Gil Evans's Sketches of Spain, Tortoise's more languorous post-rock reveries (marimba figures prominently), and Ennio Morricone's sorrowful yet dulcet spaghetti-western scores. Other diversions occur in "Latona," which features a triumphant, Don Cherry–esque trumpet fanfare, and "Roy the Barber," whose mesmerizing, ascending chord progression sounds like a gorgeous paraphrase of a 17th-century classical-music piece, but which Adam composed with crucial accompaniment from Moore. The all-analog studio setup, along with editing and effects techniques influenced by Miles's studio wiz Teo Macero and Lee "Scratch" Perry, lends Residential that trademark warmth that even today's finest computers can't replicate.

us maple - talker

 

us maple is like a negative of pixies for me. the latter spawned 4 perfect alt-rock albums and us maple made 4(.5) perfect anti-alt-rock albums. i never tire of praising them, they are brilliant and terribly underrated.

Discovered this album two days ago, been playing it on repeat since. The title track Close To The Edge is one of the most beautiful tunes I've ever heard.
