Mellow Candle - Swaddling Songs (Esoteric Records)
buy now
Even more than the Michael Moorcock CD, this album is (circa 2008) my favorite album. Haunting psych folk by two girls (women) raised almost in a nunnery and barely out of their teens. Famous for being the most sought after LPs from the folk-rock era, it can now be yours for this low, low cost (far cheaper than what I paid to own this record.)

Fucked Up- Year of the Pig (Matador)

Dirge!
Get your dirge here. Year Of The Pig has a dirty, lumbering,
Cave/Waitsian aesthetic milling about in the recesses. That said, its
not afraid to get its frilly cuffs dirty. That is if any shirt is being
worn at all. Fucked Up has honed the rage and done what so few hardcore
bands have... they've grown! And grown whilst retaining all the venom
and bile. This Fucked Up record is nothing if not tastefully executed.

Ascend - Ample Fire Within (Riot Season)
buy now
A
follow-up of sorts to the Iceburn Collective/Engine Kid LP from back in
the day. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Greg Anderson brings
the drone and metal from current project Sunn O))) and Gentry Densley
continues his experiments with jazz instrumentations and structures
that first surfaced in Iceburn. Attila from Mayhem brings on some
vocals and Soundgarden's Kim Thayil lays down some guitar. Sweet.
