As I researched what I bought this year, I discovered several albums that I barely remember at all. Current 93, The New Pornographers, Triptykon, Woven Hand… Lots of musical veterans are putting out stuff that just doesn’t stick in the brain…
Uhhhhh, what? Is that the name of the band?
Are the competing for douchiest attempt at uppity elite lameness? Gonna knock out Sunn O)))) and the Prince Symbol thingamajig (called a “glyph”, as I recall).
The name of it is Crosses. It was ok for what Chino was going for. Really need to get that Cocksure album since I would definitely put the K.K.E.P. for one of my favorites.
Part of the reason I haven’t picked it up is because I don’t wanna support Metropolis.
Same here with Sime Shelter. It’s like those guys try to make it hard to keep up with what they release. I still haven’t been able to track down Growing Pains by Stayte, if anyone out there has it.
Haven’t heard many good ones this year to make a full list,but from what I’ve heard I actually really dig the new Pink Floyd and the new Goat albums alot.

I know he was having issues with his record company on how/when to release it. Eventually, he just decided to give it away. Most of the album can be downloaded [url http://www.simplesheltermusic.com/downloads]here.

I donated $5 for it, 'cause Josh always seemed like a swell guy to me.
This is DEFINITELY on my list. This is one of best Industrial albums to come out in the last decade. They have a Ministry LORAH mixed with classic SP vibe to them. Basically, less is more with a very cold and sparse sound. Glad you gave them some love.
