    Since the vinyl for this came I've dedicated a portion of each day to lying on the ground listening to it through. It's great for the back.

    My favourite recent album.

    Bartees Strange debut came out last week. It's called Live Forever, I have had it on repeat since then. It's an incredible album. I get Bloc Party and Tv on The Radio vibes off it. Excellent record.

    I got the BC Camplight recomendation from here and Im loving it so far. Kind of like Captain Beefheart but with a prettier sound.

    Definatly not for people who just like pop or certain genres and definatly very few parties that would benefit from it playing in the backround but earphones on the bus or for driving around its great if you like that sort of thing.

    He's a lovely guy with an interesting story. spoke to him after workmans gig and he signed my record. Id recommend his previous two albums and to try and support him by getting some merch or seeing him live (hopefully) next year

    Serpentine Prison seems to have been releasing for ages, but finally out now. Looking forward to spending some time with it over the weekend. Very much enjoyed what I've heard so far.

    Knew I'd seen the name recently...!

    Haven't listened to Live Forever yet but I've just stumbled on Say Goodbye To Pretty Boy, a 5-song EP he released earlier this year of The National covers. I'm usually very reticent about covers of songs I already love but this is strangely brilliant. Very different from the originals, it's quite hypnotic. Definitely worth checking out

    I genuinely wish they had a different singer.

    Same here - musically great, vocally obnoxious....

    10, the new album by Tricot (and their second of the year) was released a few days.



    Their previous album, 真っ黒, is one of my favourite albums of the year so I was very interested in this. I'm only on my second listen of 10 so I'm not sure if it'll live up to my expectations yet but it's pretty good so far.

    Two new albums I'm presently listening to........


    Keaton Henson 'Monument'






    Big Thief singer, Adrianne Lenker has two new albums, 'Songs' and Instrumentals'. She is a very prolific lady. Two Big Thief albums last year.

    New album from Oneohtrix Point Never. Last one was much hyped but didn't live up to any of it for me. Hoping for better things this time around - sounds like the kind of artist who when he gets it right will make something wonderful.

    Seamus Fogarty’s new album is getting good reviews. Heard a great tune from it on Cillian Murphy’s radio show.

    Gave it a listen thanks to this thread, worth a listen. The song nuns brightened up my day. Ill give it another listen later.

    New live release form the criminally underrated Bob Moses.

    Bob Moses filmed an hour-long concert film from an abandoned radio tower in Topanga, California. Starting atop the structure as night took over, Bob Moses slowly worked their way down the tower performing multiple sets in a variety of configurations, both as a band and in their original two-piece setup.

    Flying Moon In Space self titled debut album out today on Fuzzclub.

    Krautrock/Experimental, dance, indie .....Very good

    The Smashing Pumpkins new record CYR is actually pretty decent.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,358 Mod ✭✭✭✭lordgoat


    Mountain Goats live album on band camp. Version of heel turn 2 is amazing


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,093 ✭✭✭mosstin


    New Avalanches album out now. Their debut was one of my favourite debuts and what I've heard this new one sounds pretty decent.

    I've now upgraded this to my favourite album of 2020. It's glorious - there isn't a weak track on it. It's right up there with the debut.

    My first discovery of 2021 is Music For Winter, Vol 1 by Another Sky

    It's downbeat but soars at times. The singer's got a really interesting voice, lots of variety.

    To try to give a flavour, it reminds me a little of Daughter, perhaps a little rougher round the edges.

    Just a 6 track EP, well worth a listen

    New album by The Antlers incoming. This is really lovely even if the video is ****e.

    Excellent. Seems like a lifetime since Familiars.
    Could listen the song Palace over and over again for years.

    Shame have a new record out today - Drunk Tank Pink. Only had a couple of listens but I think it's just as good if not better than their first.

    I think it's better for sure. Their debut was pretty good, but a bit derivative.

    Highlight for me is probably this one:

    New Bicep album out today. Loved the self titled release in 2017 so looking forward to listening to this throughout the day.

    New Weezer album is brilliant. Not something I thought I'd say again
