Here's two things I've been into for a couple weeks:
One is Son Lux, which has come out with an album of some of the most explosively creative and original pop music that it almost defies description. Best track:
We Lost It To Trying.
A conceptual electronic artist called The Caretaker has also released a ridiculously amazing album this year called
An Empty Bliss Beyond This World (
full album). It's a sonic sampling of alzheimers, as the schmaltzy-but-lovely music slowly, indiscernably erodes over the course of 54 minutes.
