dead ends

Gastr del Sol - Serpentine Similar

Too much solo noodling here. I need the crazy interplay / transitions of Camoufleur. Jim O'Rourke wasn't involved in this one; perhaps I'll stick to the other Gastr del Sol albums he was involved in.

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

This did nothing for me. It will undoubtedly end up on plenty of year-end best-of lists and I'll shake my head like an old fogey.

Atmosphere - Lucy Ford: The Atmosphere EPs

This wasn't that bad but it's still a dead end. I can't avoid the mental image of a white guy who wears a hoodie in the studio and feels that he needs to yell all his lyrics. I prefer a more relaxed-to-the-point-of-indifference delivery.
