I'll be re-recording the tracks already there when I get a better mic, which should be soon.
My favorite modern music (as opposed to classical music, which is my first musical love) is made by Joy Division, Bauhaus, the 1980-82 period of The Cure, the Sisters of Mercy, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, and so on.
Prurient is pretty diverse, so it really depends. His most extreme work is best sampled after his subtler work, so I'll suggest that you check out Pleasure Ground before, say, Mater Dolorosa, but it is worth noting that, more often than not, the lines are blurry. For example, And Still, Wanting has some of Fernow's loveliest melodies, but it also has a dynamic range of 0.0, making it one of the loudest albums ever (and one of the few where the number matches one's facial expression on hearing it).
Black Vase is probably my favourite of his, in that it bridges several (but not quite all) of his styles while remaining extremely cohesive and frequently downright scary. Through the Window is also pretty interesting, although perhaps more for the novelty of being one of the chilliest industrial techno releases I have ever heard than anything else; and his collaborations with Sutcliffe Jügend (End of Autumn) and the aforementioned with Burning Star Core (Ghosts of Niagara) are both truly delightful. His cassette EPs are also worth a look, but the guy is prolific enough that I can't say anything definitive there.
P.S. All of the beau's suggestions are very solid as well, although that is self-evident, methinks.
P.P.S. I have not yet heard Troubled Sleep or The Baron's Chamber, but both seem to be well-regarded and the source of the lyrics certainly intrigues me: They were written by Fernow's mother, the much-lauded public radio presenter, writer and poet Jean Feraca.
Daniel "Danielson Famile" Smith's record label, Sounds Familyre, is handling the release of Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil's Goliath on vinyl. For me, that's merely interesting, because I already grabbed Goliath when it came out on CD.
But nestled into that announcement is: "Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil will also embark on a national tour with Danielson in the spring, with dates and locations announced soon."
If that tour comes anywhere remotely close to San Antonio, I'm going to see them. I need it.
further evidence that going to a fancy boarding school gives you the requisite connections but completely strips away any self-awareness you might have
perhaps he got lucky by writing middle-aged-woman-baiting faux-sensitive acoustic-guitar dreck without any connections but surely he's aware of the likes of Florence (of the machine fame) welch, amongst others, who only got where she did because of family connections
I actually get the joke there, even if no one else does. All the bands listed make post-hardcore and similarly aligned music, which is the kind of stuff that Coachella would never put on.
I also don't think that someone you don’t like releasing something warrants a “sigh”, but I understand we just disagree on Todd so I'm not going to press on that any further.
