The
new Träden record is really, really great, "OTO" is my current favourite, not been off my turntable for some time now, and the track "Hymn" too, its what Mogwai should sound like in my head.
It's been at the top of the shuffle at Casa Nanamour, we were lucky enough to borrow a car for a road trip down the coast from San Francisco to Big Sur and back a few weekends ago...we had it playing almost nonstop. Can't have asked for a better soundtrack for blasting through primeval redwood forests!
If I had to pin down a favorite track, gun to my head, it would be "Tamburan," but that answer could change on any given day/time/mood/weather/etc/etc/etc, the whole album is monumental. I hear what you're saying with the Mogwai comment, parts of "Hymn" also reminded me a lot of some of the playing on the Morte Macabre album, which is never a bad thing.
While we're talking recent 'woggly' albums, has anyone heard the latest Our Solar System album
Origins? I think it's my favorite of theirs yet, prime uberkosmische spanning from blissful flute lullabies to motorik chug, sometimes in the same song
