The new MGMT album is top notch stuff. Great fun.

hmm, I listened to it once and it didn't make much of an impression on me (I did like their first 2 albums). Maybe I'll give it another spin.

I haven't listened to the whole album yet, but this is one seriously trippy music video

Unbelievably, despite knowing of their existence for, what is it they've been around (?), 10y plus, I've never really heard any of these guys' stuff. This is one trippy video, alright, but also unsettling & disturbing! And similarly, a very trippy song! I like!

Not quite sure as to their alt/indie credentials but the neighborhoods self titled third album is worth a listen.I Thought some songs sounded like they could be on a MGMT record. Few fluffer tracks as well but overall probably the best album I've heard so far this year.

if you're into Cornish-language electro-pop (and who isnt?), I recommend the new Gwenno album:

yeah I've gone back and listened to that (which was in Welsh) and it's also very good.

It might be a bit over the top for some but I know what album I'll be listening to the next time I'm walking on an isolated country road at night, alone:

The new Anna von Hausswolff album is my favourite so far this year. Very dark and atmospheric.

Birneybau · 23-03-2018 11:23AM

The Lowtide album is great for those into their 90's shoegaze.

Arghus · 26-03-2018 11:05PM

Any love for Young Fathers in here?

They've a new album out Cocoa Sugar. This one is a bit milder than what they've done previously. I've seen it described as more "accessible", but I don't know if I'd agree with that assessment entirely - it's certainly less busy and noisy than some of their earlier material but they've always been able to make their songs hooky as hell no matter what. This album sounds more streamlined on the surface, but if you pay attention to the instrumentation and arrangement it's amazing how weird and eerie many of the songs really are. It rewards repeat listens.

Anyway, great band IMO. Consistently high quality.

As a chest doctor meself, this is a hilarious & interesting song! Never heard a song before about tracheotomies!
Cool!

Birneybau · 04-05-2018 01:17PM

New Gaz Coombes album (released today) is an absolute cracker!

Spear Tackle · 11-05-2018 10:14AM

So eh , the Arctic Monkeys released a new album and its very very different.

Reviews ranging from "masterpiece" to " what the **** is this you Kants"

in summation:
Alex Turner got gifted a piano and made a self indulgent solo album. The rest of the lads came over to get their pics taken for the album sleeve.
Either that or their guitars were stolen.

I absolutely love it, but i'm pretentious. I can picture it being on in the background of a South William Street cafe while i place my order for an avocado and peach flatbread with a teaberry cooler.

I've only listened once but there's very little making me want to go back to it again.

loyatemu · 11-05-2018 12:18PM

listening to it now, it's (unsurprisingly) quite reminiscent of the Last Shadow Puppets stuff, which is not a problem for me.

Brilliant band - Lost Coastlines in one of great songs of the last 10 years. Video has 34K views on you tube!!..not right.

Listening now to '7' by Beach House for the first time. Out of all their albums (which have been hit and miss for me - 'Bloom' being my favourite), this sounds most promising on first listen. Tune called 'Dive' which stands out already.

Very impressed with this...loving the opening track, Dive and Lemon Glow

New Jon Hopkins, 'Singularity' is also excellent.

On of the worst albums i've heard put out by a major band.listen to it through 4 times now and gets worse everytime. Alot of the lyrics are drivel and nonsensical.he's trying to sound impressive and sophisticated but it's not coherent.throwing out random words like quantatative easing when it doesn't related or fit into the song abd you know he doesn't know what it means.mention technology multiple times also,maybe their attempt at an ok computer type commentary on tech but unlike thom york and the boys they don't actually make any profound or meaningful commentary.they turned into the band they have lamented on their first album that were singing fake tales of San Francisco. Also the music and instruments are boring an ineffective.

I really like the new Beach House. I loved Teen Dream but the subsequent albums seemed to be diminishing returns on the same formula, so this is a nice surprise. It's still clearly them, but with enough new stuff going on to keep it interesting.

New Parquet Courts is A Savage album

I think it might be my favourite album of the year so far.

The new Belly album is great as well. Great to have them back.

On first impression it sounds like Immunity part II. I was expecting more of departure. The jury still be out.
