My Last.fm is great for this reason.

Alright The Underachievers just released their first mixtape and it's pretty fucking good. Flying Lotus signed them into his label after listening to the song I linked up. New My Bloody Valentine - M B V was better than I expected. I must admit I'm not the biggest shoegaze fan but I really liked this. DANGERDOOM not particularly new, but I've been listening to this awesome album non stop. Mount Kimbie!! I'm happy I found this album. I didn't expect it to like it as much because my friend told me it was better than an artist I love, but yeah it's pretty good. Dilute Math Rock chill stuff.

I'm a slight shoegaze and postrock fan, and I found M B V incredibly disappointing. The immense hype from MBV fans might have contributed to my unmet expectations, but I was left entirely underwhelmed. Not a single song seemed to have any dynamic range or musical progression. Each track was just 5-6 minutes of distorted meh.

I'm loving that mixtape, FlyLo is right. I've been steadily ignoring the new MBV but I may crack.

Will check out the rest.

Yeah, it all depends wether you like shoegaze or not. But yeah check it out it may become a big deal since its their first album in like 20 years. Yeah totally underachievers have good beats, good flow, and good rhymes. I have been listening a lot right now.
