The folks in the hip hop section would appreciate your post

Once again fu-ck this. RA is one one of the best wrappers in the game and firmly falls under independent labelling.

Surprised there has been no mention of the new Strokes album on this thread.

I have to say the more I listen to The New Abnormal the more that I am enjoying it. It's brilliant!! I wasn't expecting much but it's by far The Strokes best work since their first two albums.

I'm absolutely loving it. It's been a long time coming!

SOHN live with the Metropole Orchest next week...

But this new Erland Cooper one is out today. It's just fantastic. The third of a trilogy about Orkney's birds, water and now plants.

New RSAG album released this morning.

A really nice eclectic mix of styles, all tied together nicely by Jeremy's signature drumming.

Really enjoying it.

jeez, who pissed in your cornflakes. The perfume genius album is very good, has gotten great reviews. Sparks are very well regarded and have made some great albums and yes, I forgot for a moment that this was an indie thread, sure who'd listen to anything different.

This thread is actually half blank for me and I rarely venture in anymore.

Anyway, liking the new Bleeding Heart Pigeons album right now.

Oh, maybe I'm better posting in the Limerick Music Scene thread/forum.

Just gave it a listen earlier, too early to form any significant opinion on it, but I have liked nearly everything she has done.

Brigid Dawson (of the Oh Sees) has her debut album out now. Uncut gave it album of the month so looking forward to a few listens this weekend. I enjoyed my first listen to Bleeding Heart Pigeons.

New deerhoof album ..its weird but good

Chelsea Wolfe and Jess Gowrie have a new project called Mrs. Piss, they released a record last Friday called Self-Surgery. It is excellent, quite short but brilliant. Worth a listen if you're a fan of her.

Arghus

The new Jeff Rosenstock record, NO DREAM, is great. Big step up in consistency from him.

Run the Jewels just released RTJ4 early because of the protests. It's really a landmark album.

The way I see it, you're probably freest from the ages one to four
Around the age of five you're shipped away for your body to be stored
They promise education, but really they give you tests and scores
And they predictin' prison population by who scoring the lowest
And usually the lowest scores the poorest and they look like me
And everyday on evening news they feed you fear for free
And you so numb you watch the cops choke out a man like me
And 'til my voice goes from a shriek to whisper, "I can't breathe"
And you sit there in the house on couch and watch it on TV
The most you give's a Twitter rant and call it a tragedy
But truly the travesty, you've been robbed of your empathy
Replaced it with apathy, I wish I could magically
Fast forward the future so then you can face it
And see how ****ed up it'll be
I promise I'm honest, they coming for you
The day after they comin' for me
I'm readin' Chomsky, I read Bukowski
I'm layin' low for a week
I said somethin' on behalf of my people
And I popped up in Wikileaks
Thank God that I'm covered, the devil is smothered
And you know the evil don't sleep
Dick Gregory told me a couple of secrets before he laid down in his grave
All of us serve the same masters, all of us nothin' but slaves
Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state

Fairly cutting.

Really looking forward to listening to this.

Phoebe Bridgers just released Punisher a day early, album closer I Know The End will forever be the song that I associate most with lockdown and the album version is phenomenal.

Just gave the album a listen there. I had probably listened to "Stranger in the Alps" at some stage, but wouldn't be overly familiar with it.

I recently came across her singing with Matt Berninger and thought she had a great voice.

Really enjoyed Punisher on first listen, will definitely be getting repeated spins over the weekend.

Starflyer 59 amazing EP released today ..recliner is my lockdown tune but class ep

Omar Rodríguez-Lopez released the first of his Cloud Hill Tapes records yesterday. It sounds more like Bosnian Rainbows than anything he did with The Mars Volta or At The Drive-In. I'm really liking this, then again I really like anything he's been involved with over the years.

The Cloud Hill Tapes Pt. 2 to be released July 3rd and Pt. 3 to be released July 24th.

New Sault album out yesterday is more of the same great stuff from them

Her debut was fantastic. Ordered this the other day so will wait till it arrives to have a listen. It's probably the album I was most looking forward to this year.

Anesthetize

Punisher is every bit as good as Stranger in the Alps, if not better. Certainly has not disappointed!

I really love the last track on the album
