  1. Old Spool and Gurges 1
    by Protomartyr
    Old Spool and Gurges 1
    by Protomartyr
    Born To Be Wine Born To Be Wine
    Two of the most ice-cold Protomartyr songs ever.
  2. Hotel Usona
    by Protomartyr
    Hotel Usona
    by Protomartyr
    Pray to the big witch in the sky that Protomartyr doesn't get arrested for free speeching the holy Ohioan emperor. Do you believe the theory that he unalived the pope?

    I've never heard anything like this. You're lucky if you find this album.
  4. Natural Kautz

    Forest Nymph Study Forest Nymph Study
    Sporadic horns in a briny fog. Beautiful and calming.
  5. Inferno
    by Boards of Canada
    Inferno
    by Boards of Canada
    Age Of Capricorn Age Of Capricorn
    Translucent evangelical voices wobble in and out of the grooves selling tickets to the rapture for $19.99. A red heifer was born with two tails. The Chrislamic prophet's rare-earth magnets destabilize the one-world financial systems. Insects inherit the Earth.
  6. Train on the Island
    by Aldous Harding
    Train on the Island
    by Aldous Harding
    As a long-term Aldous Harding fanatic, this is where I would recommend starting. Good luck converting people with Swell Does the Skull.

    For a favorite track, gotta go with What Am I Gonna Do?
  7. Looking Glass
    by Nighttime
    Looking Glass
    by Nighttime
    At every party I go to in New York, I try to hijack the music with a Nighttime song. Maybe Ring of Fire, maybe Curtain is Closing.

    I picture myself just outside of LA, a warm breeze rustles the coast live oaks, setting off ancient wind chimes whittled by a long gone prospector.
  8. Relatives In Descent
    by Protomartyr
    Relatives In Descent
    by Protomartyr
    Half Sister Half Sister
    Protomartyr's most supernatural album. Weird noises across the river in Canada. Spirits travel from ancient Palestine to northern Michigan.
  9. No Passion All Technique
    by Protomartyr
    No Passion All Technique
    by Protomartyr
    Too Many Jewels Too Many Jewels
    Protomartyr's origin story. May contain my all-time favorite Protomartyr song.
  10. Formal Growth In The Desert
    by Protomartyr
    Formal Growth In The Desert
    by Protomartyr
    Graft Vs. Host Graft Vs. Host
    Nosedive into the future and fish out a decent set of psychic armor. Modern business hymns give way to bully basslines and haunted parking lot crooning. I love these guys.
  11. The Agent Intellect
    by Protomartyr
    The Agent Intellect
    by Protomartyr
    Why Does It Shake? Why Does It Shake?
    Boyce and Boice are demons who live in electronics, something you might hear about as a kid up north where the real freaks live. Don't get me started about Uncle Mother's.
  12. Under Color of Official Right
    by Protomartyr
    Under Color of Official Right
    by Protomartyr
    A hell of a sophomore album. One of the nastiest. Best for bleak times. A friend once said "I like Protomartyr's album covers a lot better than their music."
  13. Ultimate Success Today
    by Protomartyr
    Ultimate Success Today
    by Protomartyr
    Michigan Hammers Michigan Hammers
    Prescient and irreverent. I first heard this album in an attic in Grand Rapids. I soldered new pickups in my guitar and made many an apple pie with this record spinning.
  14. Pulverized And Slightly Peaced
    by David Nance
    Pulverized And Slightly Peaced

    Ham Sandwich Ham Sandwich
    Feels like sticking your head under a waterfall.
  15. Is It Now?
    by Automatic
    Is It Now?
    by Automatic
    Terminal Terminal
    Mystifying drum, bass, and synth music.
  16. 東風
    by Sawteeth
    東風
    by Sawteeth
    Mystery Of Dub II Mystery Of Dub II
    Delirious and uplifting jungle.
  17. Joanna Newsom & The Ys Street Band
    by Joanna Newsom
    Joanna Newsom & The Ys Street Band
    by Joanna Newsom
    Riddled with medievalisms and weird live band dynamics.
  18. Divers
    by Joanna Newsom
    Divers
    by Joanna Newsom
    Stupefyingly dense songwriting. Pull any thread and you'll be unravelling this album for a decade.
  19. Ys
    by Joanna Newsom
    Ys
    by Joanna Newsom
    Not for everyone, but it fills in a lot of cracks in your brain.
  20. Sprout and The Bean
