The new Guided by Pearl Jam is kinda good but not great and thats the problem with most 'hyped'albums so far this year ..i fully expect the next idles album to be a bit cringeworthy.

Arghus

After a few more listens I now think the Deerhunter album is great. It's very slow and grey, but it works on you if you give it enough time, but I can see how many mightn't be able to get past that initial period of yeah whatever.

Richard Roma

New Cass McCombs album sounds really good on first listen. His gig in Whelans a few years ago was some night!

Acosta

Pye Corner Audio - Hollow Earth

Already sounds amazing after just a couple of listens.

Been listening to the latest RY X record Unfurl a lot over the weekend, would highly recommend this. Also listened to the new Woman's Hour record Ephyra and Methyl Ethel record Triage and on a first listen I'm really liking them both.

Banging tune ..not sure if the album is full of these but will certainly aquire it

Some really good records out last Friday. Abjects -never give up, Feels - post earth, Teeth of the sea - wraith, Adia Victoria - Silences, Gary Clarke Jr - This Land and the one I been listening to a lot in between all the above is Pom Poko - Birthday. I highly recommend it.

PCA are class. This is going on my list for the week.

Getting a kick lately out of the album Mazy Fly by Spelling. Didn't know what to make of it at first, seemed a bit Portishead-lite or something, but it's weird atmosphere and surreal songs have grown on me after a while. The singer has a really cool soul singer voice and that mixed with off-kilter synth sounds is a good combo.

I’m loving Helado Negro’s new albums. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard in a long time. It sounds like what I’d imagine if Kevin Parker got free rein producing a Richard Hawley album.

Enjoying Broken Social Scene’s new mini album. It’s their first music that’s clicked with me in a few years.

Anesthetize

Been listening to Beware of the Dogs by Stella Donnelly all weekend. Her singing voice and quirky lyrics are a winning combo.

enjoying the new Cinematic Orchestra "to believe" album - worth a listen

Stephen Malkus new album is worth a listen, bit of electronica, bit of the usual

That's all I had managed this week. Not filling me with confidence. Very samey and could have been plucked from the last album bh. Which I also didn't really dig.

TBH I would like them to feck off for a few years. They've been here way too often and the lack of quality in their releases is showing.

Plus them not playing "Mistaken for Strangers" every time I see them is now just a bad joke.

UrbanSprawl

Its not perfect but priests mass seduction is worth having a listen ..political punk rock not many doing that ..also texas instruments is a gem of a track

A bunch of great records came out last Friday Witching Waves - Persistence, Ioanna Gika - Thalassa, Circa Waves - What's it like over there?, False Bliss - Ritual Terrains and of course the new Priests record.

Crows - Silver Tongues came out around the end of March and have listened the sh*te out of that. I think it will be in my top ten albums of the year for this year.

Crows supported idles last week, thought they were excellent. Meant to grab the vinyl at the merch stand afterwards but forgot

Durand Jones and the Indications 'American Love call' out since early march has been getting tons of airplay in my gaff.

Saw them there too, they were excellent. They're playing Kasbah in Limerick on the 26th of this month and the following night in SoundHouse in Dublin.

Dogrel from Fontaines DC. It's very distinctively Dublin.

Nice shout, had forgotten about them (him)! Really loved the first album when it was out, the second one was not as memorable but still decent. Must check this one out.

Seen them as trust years ago in workmans, was hoping he would hit Dublin on his recently announced European tour but not to be.
Most of the shows sold out pretty fast.
Enjoy the album!

I was meant to see them as support to Yeasayer in Manchester in 2012 (was living in England at the time) but then Yeasayer postponed because one of them had a baby and when the gig was rescheduled it was Glass Animals (pretty much unknown at the time) who provided the support instead, who were grand except I had initially bought the ticket more to see Trust than Yeasayer so was kinda disappointing.

And I didn't even get to see all of Yeasayer's set as I had to leave early to get last train back from Manchester to Nottingham. Which of course was then delayed, meaning I could have stayed for the whole set and still made it. >_<;

Probably because the Internet hardly existed back when Isn't Anything was released.
Gave Dogrel a listen but I don't get the hype.
