Top Ten albums of 2017. #10 Dirty Projectors "s/t" This skitchy weird album is fascinating. It's a breakup studio album that sounds like the weirdest contempory r&b album ever made. It shares alot of the production values of contemporary pop albums but with none one of the mind numbing stupid lyrical hooks. In fact this record isn't easy to listen to, it's strange and engaging. I keep going back to it and mining it's textural depths. It feels futuristic, like a record that someone would be listening to in a dingy apartment pod in "Blade Runner". This kind of music bends my mind because I wouldn't know where to begin to create anything like it. I keep thinking if Skinny Puppy made an r&b pop record it would sound like this. That's how weird it is. I dont even remember why i bought it at the now closed Record Theatre, but it has haunted me since i purchased it. I have alot of music and not a ton of time to really absorb and examine records but I've made time for this one over this past year.
