Big Thief Back On Top With ‘Forgotten Eyes’
Posted by Roberto in IN THE LOOP on October 28, 2019
For the third time this year folk-rockers Big Thief get to the #1 of our loop. The Brooklyn combo who have released not one but two of the best albums of the year is our song of the week with ‘Forgotten Eyes’. On a singer/songwriter-heavy edition Mount Eerie with Julie Doiron and Julien Baker round up the Top 3.
And right when his former album ‘Blonde’ has been named by some influential critics the best of the decade, Frank Ocean‘s return with a teaser from his new opus is the week’s highest new entry. Also debuting, another song by Leonard Cohen‘s posthumous new album, as well as new ones by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds;Pusha T & Swizz Beatz; Destroyer; Bill Callahan; The Comet Is Coming; Courtney Barnett; TNGHT; Soleá Morente con Las Negris; Black Lips; The 1975… and The Nationals’ Matt Berninger with Phoebe Bridgers on the first taster of his first solo album.

The remaining ones still fulfilled their gatekeeping role with clockwork precision and the following names were among their luckiest findings.

Su influencia se hacia notar y en algunos casos era interceptada, con algunos ejemplos notables cerrando sus puertas y otros viendo como sus contenidos y ética eran alterados. Los que quedaban siguieron cumpliendo su papel de filtro con precisión casi mecánica y los siguientes nombres se encontraron entre sus hallazgos más felices. Read the rest of this entry »
