I'm sure there are plenty more coming out tomorrow also, this is just a selection that I am personally very excited about......

Lot's of listening for one days worth of releases

Mogwai - Atomic

Explosions in the Sky - The Wilderness

Yeasayer - Amen & Goodbye

Hammock - Everything and Nothing

Mogwai was interesting.

I was a bit disappointed in Explosions.

Some good songs from Yaesayer. I liked I am Chemistry.

I've enjoyed Hammock too. Clarity is...nice.

There's a new We Are Augustines album due soon. I'd love to know exactly when.

New All Saints album!!!! :pac:

Seriously though, Lumineers and Eliza & The Bear are two decent indie folk bands, will listen to theirs.

OhHiMark · 08-04-2016 07:46AM

I was listening to Junk yesterday. I really like it, but it's nothing like their old stuff.

Indie folk *shudders

To me that's an oxymoron that dredges up nightmarish pre-apocalyptic visions of mumford & sons

Have only gotten around to listening to the new Deftones album so far, but it's a stunning release. I think it sounds very fresh, but still has that distinctive Deftones sound. To me it sounds like they have definitely taken influence from Crosses.

The guitar work is more refined, but still hits hard.

Check out 'Doomed User', 'Hearts/Wires' and 'Phantom Bride' for a taste.

And what did you think of the two albums mentioned above? Since you commented on them, I imagine you have formed and opinion after listening to them?

No, I don't like indie folk, that's all. I'm sure the world of indie folk will not be unduly concerned by my prejudices.

Allowing the new Moderat album to wash over me at the moment. 'Finder' is the best song I've heard this year so far (along with 'Ether' by Mogwai).

You may well think that but there's nowt as queer as folk.

Listening to it right now.

EDIT: Wow... I really like this one. Certainly worth a listen.

Sorry for dragging the thread off topic again just have to say the otherkin gig last night was truly awesome.

Took a few listens to really get into it but loving the new Frabbit album!

Yep, they're supporting Foals in Belfast for Belsonic at end of June. Think that's a definite gig this Summer.

That sounds like a great gig tbh. Saw Foals earlier this year in the Point and they were class.

I'm hoping for Frightened rabbit at Glastonbury, although they're at a festival in Belgium the same weekend.

I'm a big M83 fan. Think it's pretty uneven. 2nd half is pretty forgettable but I need to give it a few more spins

Didnt like it much.

Plus my vote for Most Horrible Sound I've heard all year goes to "Moon Crystal".

Good God...it sounds like a bad american 1970's documentary soundtrack:

The Transpersonals - Schizodelia. Out about 6 weeks.
Bit of a mish-mash of stuff that's been knocking around for some time but it all hangs together well. A trippier affair than their first effort (and better in my view). Definitely worth a listen

Good week with new releases from Cate le Bon, Teleman and Parquet Courts, all of whose last albums I loved.

I just don't get how that first album wasn't massive,some insanely great songs.I'll give the second album a shot!

Some really excellent songs on this recently released album by Irish band Easy tide.

Sam Beam & Jessica Hoop - 'Love Letter for Fire'

love-letter-for-fire-iron-wine-sam-beam-album.png?w=806&h=802

Haven't been overly impressed with the last couple of Iron Wine releases, and I think this suits his voice far better, it's much more stripped back than the all out jazz that I&W has been sliding towards.

In a way this reminds me a bit of 'Raising Sand' by Robert Plant and Alison Kraus, an album I really enjoyed.

Beams and Hoops voices fit together perfectly. I have just given it the one listen this morning, but I think it'll have staying power.

Deakin - 'Sleep Cycle'

homepage_large.0d44e20c.jpg

New album from part time Animal Collective member Deakin. I have to admit this really wasn't on my radar at all. I have enjoyed past releases from Avey Tare and Panda Bear, so this came as a nice surprise.

I wish AC would head in this direction a bit more, it has a definitive AC sound but has a much clearer focus than probably the last 2 AC albums, particularly the latest.

I'm actually impressed by the vocals on this given that it's not his prime function in the band. The album itself is quite restrained which lets the tracks grow.

Definitely worth a listen for fans of any of the above.

'Good House' is a lovely track, give it a listen to see if this is your type of thing.

mosstin · 19-04-2016 10:14PM

This is glorious.

I loved PJs last 2 records, I'm still not quite sure about the new one though it is growing on me.

I think her matter of fact reportage-style lyrics are a mixed bag - sometimes they really hit home, other times it feels like she's just reading newspaper articles over the music.
