SHINY LITTLE CIRCLES No. 12: Vince Guaraldi - “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

What is there to say about this record that hasn’t already been said? Perhaps the most successful jazz record of all time, and for good reason. Guaraldi is a master of nuanced harmonies and lyrical melodies. Has anyone called him “The Beatles of Jazz”? If not, I’m staking my claim.

SHINY LITTLE CIRCLES No. 11: Various Artists - “Christmas Blessings: The Narada Christmas Collection (Volume 3)”

Hear me out. A bunch of slightly weird New Age / ambient / classical crossover Christmas songs dripping with reverb and 1995-era synthesizers. My mom spun this disc at all hours of the day during the Christmas season, and it seeped deep into my childbrain. Perhaps formative in my affinity for weird ambient/instrumental stuff with nice melodies.

SHINY LITTLE CIRCLES No. 10: A Troop of Echoes - “The Longest Year on Record”

An understated yet ambitious record that finds the sax-heavy post rock outfit teaming up with a string quartet, horn section, chamber choir, piano, mallet percussion, and other sundries. This DIY punk orchestra is a significant departure from the band’s early noise-dance-math leanings, but still retains some of that unhinged spirit.

SHINY LITTLE CIRCLES No. 9: Volcano Kings - “11 Ways to Avoid Death in Trash Can City”

The undisputed kings of instrumental noir rock. Their drummer used to bring a full-sized oil drum to all their shows. Now that’s commitment.

SHINY LITTLE CIRCLES No. 8: Wye Oak - “Shriek”

This criminally-underrated indie gem from 2014 is packed with warm synths, lush vocal melodies, inventive grooves, and perhaps the best bass guitar sound ever achieved on a pop record.

SHINY LITTLE CIRCLES No. 6: Manu Katché - “Neighborhood”

A staple of ECM’s modern European jazz catalog. Dark, slick, melodic, spacious, and groovy sketches driven by Katché’s inventive cymbal work.

SHINY LITTLE CIRCLES No. 5: Happy Apple - “Happy Apple Back On Top”

Playful and palatable free jazz driven by The Bad Plus’s Dave King on drums. Less dissonant and more hypnotic than you might expect.
