    Their debut Violet Cries showed promise but for the most part was only just above average. They've really outdone themselves here and evolved their dark, ethereal dream-pop sound for the better. Probably the best new album I've heard so far this year.

    Have a listen here:

    I came across this yesterday.

    pretty dark.... folk tunes... although there's some strange distorted noises in there too.... the microphones might be a decent reference point.

    worth a listen

    cheers have you any other bands along their lines?

    Can't say as I do,some of their songs are just fantastic esp with the female vocals.This track wouldn't sound out of place on a pixies doolittle era album.

    Adam Ant folks!! - and Ye may cast me out of the Alt & Indie forum if you wish for posting this here.

    Came across news of new album today in today's 'Metro'.
    Released 21st Jan
    can only find 2 full tracks - this the better of the two

    Based on what he's churned out over the last 25 years or more I fully expect the album to be shyte and will prob give it a spotify listen at best. Worth a listen tho, i reckon, if you're familiar with his early 'B-sides' stuff/first Ants album era and some of the b-sides of the early pirate era when he knocked out some great, great stuff. The above has echoes of that era but pales in comparison. It's likely a vain hope that he'll hit the mark again in the foreseeable but being ever the optimist an' all......

    Only reason I post is that I do have a lingering soft spot for mr Ant. How could you not like these (Read: 'excuse to post'):



    I've always considered him an artist of the highest order - mad as a hatter to boot. I've been intrigued by his trials and tribulations over the years. I will be eternally grateful for this track - this live version (in particular) only adds its sumptuous sexual overtones IMO [:P alcohol, eh?]:



    I predict that this man will die in extraordinary circumstances just after having produced a masterpiece.



    Thank you A&I for indulging me.

    Hummingbird - Local Natives

    I've been listening to this quiet a bit over the last few days. I had already heard Breakers a few times previously and was impressed by it and the new direction the band have taken.

    I was a big fan of Gorilla Manor, with it's instantly recognisable sound and catchy songs. This album is certainly a lot darker, the songs certainly aren't as initially memorable. However it really is a grower, the vocal melodies are still there, but more refrained.

    Certainly is going to get plenty of plays from me.

    Self titled debut from American singer-songwriter Torres. Very nice album indeed! cracking voice and brilliant lyrics.

    Wooly, now that I'm paying attention it seems I should have directed the above thanks at Heisenberg, not you.
    Thanks a million Heisenberg - couple of listens in and blown away by it.
    Wooly, it's all good - you've got good taste! ;)

    How to destroy angels_
    Welcome Oblivion

    Haven't listened to it all yet, but I love the track "A Drowning"
    The album is streaming on Spotify.

    Spotify link here!

    Having listened to it all the way through, I still find the songs like ice age and a Drowning the most appealing. I like the opening track also. Definitely needs repeated listens.

    haha no worries, was just agreeing with ya at how good album was on first listen, more so than his first album, took a while to get into that. Would love to see him gig here soon.

    Amplifier - Echo Street
    A big departure from their previous album The Octopus. It's probably their most accessible album to date as they've gone for a mellower alternative rock sound, but they've still kept up their level of quality and progressive tendencies. They've been flying the flag for British progressive/alternative rock for over a decade now and still exposing Muse as the bunch of phonies that they are.

    Autre Ne Veut - Anxiety.

    Came across this on Spotify the other day. Really good album. Definite 80s vibe, think How to dress well.

    Do yourselves a favour and get your hands on this. Excellent return to form for one of the very best bands of the 90's.

    And So I Watch You from Afar - All Hail Bright Futures

    I don't think there's been any talk about the new album, very different from their other stuff for those who know them. Some good tunes on it.

    My second favourite album of the year. Had never heard of this guy, until it popped up on Spotify. He's playing the Rhythm and Roots festival in Kilkenny. Don't miss him if you get a chance.

    It's around somewhere. I have to agree with Heisenberg....rather disappointed by it. I had been really looking forward to it. The vast majority of the songs I had heard in one incarnation or another but something about it makes it feel too clinical or overproduced. The production is just so clean. I much preferred the earlier version of The John Wayne, and the same with many of the other tracks. And the writing is shockingly poor in places. Kind of cringed listening to the Kitchen Floor. And I genuinely am a fan, have seen them live a good few times and have always been impressed.

    No Joy - Wait To Pleasure
    All you shoegaze/dream-pop heads have got to give this a listen. It's got the right combination of noise, gorgeous melodies and breathy female vocals. A big delicious cake for your ears.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 811 ✭✭✭mal1


    Cold War Kids, Dear Miss Lonelyhearts. I used to listen to these guys and then they went totally off the charts with some terrible releases. This is them back doing what they do best. Most impressed since i swore i wouldn't spend a sinlge cent on these guys again.

    John Murry - The Graceless Age.
    Absolutely amazing album and this is one of the highlights, Southern Sky.
    He is playing the Workmans on Thursday 9th too

    savages-silence-yourself-album-cover-press-300.jpg

    Savages - Silence Yourself
    The debut album from this all-girl quartet playing some nice dark and moody post-punk. It's obviously influenced by early 80's post-punk and gothic rock but still has a fresh, modern feel to it. Think Siouxsie Sioux fronting Bauhaus and you might have some idea of how they sound.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,267 ✭✭✭opr


    Loving that Savages album. Can't wait to see them at Glastonbury.

    Pretentious as **** but I love the intro below.
