QOTD: "dis my first baby i aint had no abortions or nothin!" (said in line for registration for college to someone at least 8 people back)

Nneka.

Legitimately one of the best finds I've had in a while (or ever if you ask my lady). Going to see her live in a couple weeks and I'm fuckin' pumped. Gonna be brilliant as shit. Anyway, her stateside debut comes out just a couple days prior to that on 2/2/10. This is a 3 CD set of her current material up until now. I upped an EP as well but can't manage to find a proper picture. I'll sort that and some more samples out in the morning as it's getting late.

Check check check it out.
Wiki it.

Marissa De Mi Mente?

Here's an album by Marissa Nadler.
Best sample I can find for now here.

Oh and here's the new Bosques while I'm at it. Shame I gotta wait till next semester to properly utilize it.

Olafur.

I've already put up two albums by this dude (wiki), but here's his latest two and they are just as good as the rest of his stuff. Real brilliant stuff as always.

Just in case you've forgotten.
Also here's a sample, or two.

Eluvium.

Dert.

Honestly probably some my favorite new stuff. Just real well put together and I've given it probably way way too many spins as of late. Available for free on the net last I checked but I rar'd it up for something somewhere so I'll put it up here as well. Check this track out if you want a sample.

there are some that would have you believe that you haven’t tasted life until your own blood has filled in the gaps between your teeth. and really there is some truth to that, that school of thought that you haven’t experienced life until you’ve experienced life being taken from you. the subtle emptiness that creeps up on you until you only vaguely recollect what it was like not being entrenched in it, consumed by it. the real fact is this world we’ve managed to cobble together for ourselves is nothing but a soul sucking never ending quest of oneupmanship and living is merely doing your best to take note of the small things. those boundless, epic moments of everyday beauty that we write off as trite, those tiny shaky steps towards the true definition of humanity. those inconsequential minor interactions with society at large that leave you changed though you don’t even notice. either that or sleep. sometimes sleep is nice.
