Are there any artists whose new albums you will ALWAYS buy?
They may be in a rut or past their peak or whatever, but something about them compels you to get their newest album because, even if they ARE in a rut or past their peak, somehow their albums are always satisfying to you. And it always makes you happy to hear something new from them.
Me:
Martin Newell/Cleaners From Venus
He's been putting out basically the same record for the last 20 years or so; longer if you don't count the changes to his sound made strictly through virtue in improvements in home recording technology. Still, it's like a great burger or pizza or something, even lesser Martin is satisfying. He's comfort food.
Tom Zé
He is the opposite of Martin Newell, not comfort food, but always challenging and stimulating. Even at his worst, Tom Zé is ALWAYS interesting at the very least. But, usually, he's far better than that. Even after 50 years of putting out records, and nearly 80 years on the planet, he finds new ways to surprise and delight me. A new Tom Zé record is always cause for rejoicing in my world.
Cate Le Bon
Hasn't been around long enough to hit a lull or be past her peak, but each time she has something new, I feel compelled to go out and get it. Even if she's only the producer and not the artist (like on the new H Hawkline) or if it's a collaborative side project (like with DRINKS). She hasn't disappointed me yet. Probably my favorite artist that has emerged since the turn of the millennium.
You got any?

Oh another opportunity to keep harping about how fabulous Raul Ramirez is. I have every cd he's done and can't wait for the next.

And I was just reminded:
Although after only one album and a couple of singles (their second full album comes out in April), it's still too early to completely commit, but if Fumaça Preta keeps it up, I will absolutely be as devoted to them as to the other artists that I named in the first post of this thread.

you have such an eclectic taste, Todd, it's really awesome.
I have a few, Queens of the Stone Age, Zero 7, Radiohead, Cave In, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Grizzly Bear.
There are others, I am sure, but those are the first to come to mind.
