An Awesome Wave by Alt-J. Hadn't heard of them before picking up the album, easily one of my favourites of the year so far, some cracking songs on it. No Irish dates yet unfortunately.

Would also like to lend my support to this, one of the best albums this year!

Also, Glen Hansard, Rhythm and Repose. Definitly worth a listen, great album.

Ty Segall Band - Slaughterhouse
This just might be one of my favourite releases of the year so far. If you like your music with lots of FUZZ then this is the album for you.

Jets Overhead - Boredom and Joy (released last Tuesday)

Don't think it's passed Bridges as my favourite album of theirs, but it's not far off...

New WHY? EP "Sod in the Seed"....there's rapping on it.

I don't like the video much but the sight of the girl... (Liz?) from the band dancing her ass off is great.

I'm liking Defcon - In binary shrines

instrumental Hazey, Psychedelic, Hip Hop based electronic music, similar to Flying Lotus (I prefer Defcon meself) I think he's from Belfast.

Have a listen here: http://ie.7digital.com/artist/defcon/release/in-binary-shrines

Am I the only one that got into these guys after hearing 'fitzpleasure' on an episode of Weeds?

LuckyFinigan · 25-09-2012 8:45pm

Caspian released their new album today. If your into sigur ros and post rock type stuff their well worth a listen. The full album can be streamed on their site http://www.caspianmusic.net/

The new Dinosaur Jr album I Bet On Sky is really starting to grow on me over the past week. It's as good as Beyond and Farm but I wouldn't go comparing to their 80's stuff. Good album though.

She played on the last Bonnie Prince Billy album, one of those voices that will either click with you in a big way or have the opposite effect and turn you away.

Tame Impala - Lonerism

Even better than Innerspeaker and surely one of the best albums of the year for me. They still sound a lot like later-era Beatles though.

new Godspeed LongPlayer

A great comeback album. It's not quite as good as F#A#oo or Lift Yr. Skinny Fists... but it's a welcome addition to their catalog. It's a nice digestible album too.

RikkFlair · 08-10-2012 6:04pm

Halfway thru streaming the Godspeed album....worth waiting 10 years for

Edit: Love the pots and pans percussion at the end of track 1

Captain Graphite · 09-10-2012 12:18am

I'm listening to Cat Power's new one for the first time. Initial impression; it's extremely strange! She's using synths! And was that auto-tune I heard on track 4? So different from her normal stuff, which is really brave after a long absence. I think once I get past the initial WTF-ness of it all I'm gonna really like this album!

Any other thoughts out there?

who is cat powers..thinking stehanie or austin mashup ..could be wrong though?

jefreywithonef · 10-10-2012 3:02pm

New Dinosaur Jr. album is very good indeed. Bit different to other albums in that there's quite a few slower songs, most of which are glorious though. 'Almost Fare' and 'Don't Pretend You Didn't Know' are highlights.

Yeah, it is very good. However, I think it'll require a few more listens before I decide if it's as good as Farm.

I first heard cat power doing a major tom cover for a Lincoln tv ad.

So i bought her album, The Greatest. Its good. She's been around for awhile but I dont know much about her except she had a serious booze problem.

Sorry...i realize this isnt under 30 days old...

She's also responsible for inspiring one of my favourite albums of all time - Knock, Knock by Smog.

The second album from Dublin's very own post-hardcore/math-rock noiseniks BATS and the last release ever on Richter Collective. It really is a fantastic album and a great send-off for the label.

ned rierson · 20-10-2012 7:14pm

New Trail Of Dead is top notch

recordwatch · 22-10-2012 4:55am

Here's a track off a new album by Tamaryn, a vocalist who's from New Zealand, but is now living in San Francisco, California.

The Band: Tamaryn
The Album: Tender New Signs
The Track: The Garden

I sense a lot of divided opinion on that one. I was a big fan of "Tao of the Dead" and "Worlds Apart", but I'm not getting into "Lost Songs" at all. It's noisy and messy, and definitely a throwback to their early material, but just doesn't have the same melodies, as far as I can tell.

Also, a lot of the vocals sound (deliberately) underproduced.

Really Liking their sound..posted 'no wings' in the share thread already..

http://soundcloud.com/search?q%5Bfulltext%5D=Saturday+Captains

Irish musicians Brendan Tallon and Barry O’Mahony. In the mid-1990s Tallon grafted in Dublin band Revelino, whose mix of surging guitars and punch-yer-face pop melodies won them a friend in John Peel. O’Mahony was in mid-1990s Dublin band Luggage, who was also liked by Peel. These bands split up, as happens, but love of music has remained, and Saturday Captains seem the kind to carry on without the attendent hang-ups and/or issues that bedevil the younger self. Tallon, for instance, apparently hasn’t lost his knack for creating memorable tunes; there’s nothing on this low-key debut that lacks for want of smarts. Indeed, the band even channels their inner Krautrock motorik spirit on the instrumental Kiss of Life. But it’s the remaining highly likeable indie-pop tunes that linger most.
