albums of the day: nov 17 09

Black Mountain's "In The Future"

My favourite jams being "Wucan," "Queens Will Play," and "Stormy High."
Perfect album for a smoked out afternoon just like the one I'm rockin' today. It has just the right amount of ambient transcendence, juxtaposed by bone-crushingly slow riffs.

Perfect listening for: a satanic orgy, getting stoned in the forest, playing a videogame about extraterrestrials.


Air's "Premiers Symptomes"

Some say that Air have perfected "la musique de chambre," and I can't bring myself to disagree. Lulls you into the sweetest limbo between lustful and the most relaxed state you've ever tasted.

The best tracks: "Brakes On" for its hip-hop meet early Chemical Brothers sensibility, and "J'ai dormi sous l'eau," which is like a sailboat ride on a rainbow superhighway, traveling in slow-motion and hyperspeed all at once, twisting throughout the cosmic curves of the Milky Way.
