The Necks - Fatal (from Chemist) on Soundcloud. Really enjoying this one, thanks, kargatron. Too bad chemist does not seem to be available digitally.
More rock in it than with Dawn of Midi. Reminds me a lot of Jah Wobble's Solaris. Also, have you listened to any of Aidan Baker's recent NYOP long-form rhythmic pieces? I'd put one or two of them in this ballpark too, especially this one.
ETA, really like Buoyant as well, going to have to get a CD of Chemist I think.
@kargatron, Open is appealing to me less than Chemist on first listen (though sounds like it might grow). Any suggestions as to which of their other back catalog releases are more like Chemist (hypnotic, often driving rhythm) and which are more like Open (more freeform noodling)? I have Drive By (which I think you might have recommended to me once before) bookmarked at emusic.
NYOP and great. Experimental/beats/female vocals. Tiny Mix Tapes cites Grouper, copeland, Grimes as touch points, all of which make sense, but this has it's own unique charms too.
Don't know why they left off John Tilbury's name, but he's on it too.
NUDE WITH HANDGUN AND ROSARY
The small silver crucified man hangs between her breasts like an arrow directing attention away from the face in its nimbus of unasked-for beauty, all that stands between her and apparition, while pointing the way to the ever inexplicable V, all that's left of her animal: damp, like the tip of a painter's brush just dipped in darkest blue. She has put the thing on like a necklace and gone to admire it in the full-length mirror, in muted light the color of gold's shadow at this late-afternoon hour. There's a light that enters houses with no other house in sight. How describe it? But then there are more important things to think about than light. It lies on the dresser blackly glowing, the one object that's completely self-explanatory here. Just look at you, child with the sun-colored eyes, waiting in line with love's innumerable patients and their grievances at scarecrowlike standstill, how slowly, how badly, they mend; just one more being tested, in need of new double-thick Coke-bottle glasses, straining in the poor light to make out the oversize letters of their own obituaries while they're waiting to be born... Soon, soon, between one instant and the next, you will be well. There is a sound that comes from houses with no other house in sight. Franz Wright

Very nice and NYOP or free. TMT called it something like "that post-vaporwave album that Ducktails never made."
