#NowSpinning #AntsFromUpThere by #BlackCountryNewRoad.
On release, I thought this was something special, but it is one of those rare albums that suck me back in again & again. It is perfection & - imo - the best thing in the last 20 years.
The Bread Song, Good Will Hunting, The Place He Inserted the Blade, and Basketball Shoes are original & poetic, musically inventive, hook-laden, with real emotional weight.
Birthday gifts, cocktails, & #NowSpinning #LiveAtBushHall by #BlackCountryNewRoad.
#AntsFromUpThere, #BCNR 2022, is vying for my best of the century to date: I love it *that* much. This, due to the sad departure of Isaac, is different, but musically ambitious, experimental with enough pop sensibilities to keep the foot tapping.
The package, for the price, is well done: booklet & 180g vinyl. The pressings bang on - flat, clean, dynamic.
Okay, we’ve reached the fag end of 2022, & my top 5 favourite #albumsof2022 are,
1. #AntsFromUpThere by #BlackCountyNewRoad (#BCNR)
2. #DragonNewWarmMountainIBelieveInYou by #BigThief
3. #ChloeAndTheNext20thCentury by #FatherJohnMisty
4. #ALightForAttractingAttention by #TheSmile
5. #CoolItDown - #YeahYeahYeahs
I’ve enjoyed the newest offerings from #SoccerMommy, #FirstAidKit, & #BethOrton. I’ve also found myself warming to #BeingFunnyInAForeignLanguage by #The1975.

Ants from Up There - Black Country, New Road
Una banda nueva, formada en 2018, que yo recién conocí este año, ¡pero qué gran descubrimiento para mi!
Rock experimental que va aumentando en intensidad (catalogados también como una banda de post-rock)
Si aún no los han escuchado, les recomiendo darles una oportunidad.

Lazy Sunday evening & #listening to my favourite album of the year, perhaps even of the decade, #AntsFromUpThere by #BlackCountyNewRoad. Few recent albums have had this kind of impact - #ThePlaceWhereHeInsertedTheBlade is just heartbreaking & ecstatic by turn.
This is the boxset which includes live versions of some of the album - perhaps the only chance we might get to hear Isaac sing this stuff. The pressing is iffy in places, but generally well mastered.
