David Thomas Broughton's Crippling Lack is a really wonderful integration of the more conventional sounds and expanded lineup he explored on Outbreeding with the really experimental techniques and forms of his early solo work and improvisational records like David Thomas Broughton vs. 7 Hertz. Like, it feels like a real David Thomas Broughton LP with the crazy looping guitar breakdowns and crooning about deep emotional trauma but it has drums and keyboards too! :D
Also, the last paragraph of the spoken word bit in the closing song is at once slightly disquieting and maybe the funniest thing I've heard in a song in context.
Listening to Charalambides and I am pretty sure the one thing that keeps me from consistently loving their work is, ironically, one of the things that makes it so distinctive: That for folky psychedelia, it is *extremely* abstract and melodically minimal, to the point that it tends to feel aimless and formless more often than not.
so this will probably annoy the shit out of everyone but I've decided to not do this immediately just because yesterday I was backreading this thread and wrote down a bunch of stuff people recommended me at one point that I never listened to, and, well

Put something together. Will send later. Apologies for the delay.

I swear that Joy Division are retroactive me-pandering incarnate.
Good.
Buy it all.
