2016 New Music Thread

New Jezabels album "Synthia" out today.  They are brilliant live.  Park maybe?  JP?

Didn't realise The King Blues were back around. Nailed on for a Left Field slot I'd have thought.

Been listening to the LNZNDRF album a bit over the last few days. It's the two Devendorf brothers from The National and someone from Beirut who's name I can't remember. I think it's pretty good, probably my favourite of the various side projects from The National over the last year or so. The album isn't really that similar to either The National or Beirut, more of a post-punk sort of thing and the songs are quite long.

I've also been listening to the new Iggy Pop album which leaked the other day. Again I think it's good, can definitely hear Josh Homme's influence on a lot of the songs.

The King Blues certainly did up the aggression with their new song.

Worth noting that the album is really really good.

Did anyone else actually quite enjoy bloc party's new album ?
Saw them in Brixton last night, very good gig, and even the new songs they played went down pretty well

No it's fucking terrible, and I'm a big fan. Saw them in Newcastle last week and they were alright but the new songs were naff, as expected.

Manchester band Spring King getting a lot of hype. I'd expect a JP or BBC Introducing slot

I haven't read anything about it but hopefully they release an album at some point this year, really like all the songs I've heard from them so far.

New King Blues song posted on their Facebook, not sure if I think its terrible or not, but its nice to have them back and angry

Its angry, but it sounds like 15yr old kids trying to be political. Unfortunately its so far down the line that I cant take anything Itch does seriously.

Yeah I think the 'class of 2016' of acts that are featuring on most major festival bills including Glastonbury will include them, Blossoms, Clean Cut Kid, Jack Garratt (obviously), Rat Boy and maybe Sunflower Bean. Them ones seem the most hyped.

Anderson .Paak's album has taken over my listening since it came out. Incredible.

Indeed, I defended Four against people slating it...but the new is just shite all over. First Bloc Party I've not even really liked one single from :S

Four is a fantastic album, the new one not so much. It's not even like funnily shit it's just completely boringly shit

I dunno, The Love Within is pretty funny.

[Gucci Piggy]

Tbh I found the opposite to most people; I thought it was hilarious. In fact, The Love Within was one of the better tracks imo. Most songs just had random, ill-fitting noises jumping out from all over the place and baffling me.

Surprisingly The Love Within actually went down really well live.

[dentalplan]

There's a song towards the end (Virtue, I think) where a similar sound to that noise from The Love Within makes a comeback. Did anyone else recoil at that moment?

I didn't think about TLW when I was listening but that was the main one I was thinking of when I was on about baffling noises coming out of nowhere.

[Porcelina]

Quite enjoying the new Flowers album, who are a bit 'brooding post-punk garage shoegazey-ish' - saw them supporting Hop Along in November, though they're better live than on record.

Foxes new album is alright too for Tesco-CD-section pop.

New DIIV is too bloated and samey for me to get through right now, though I think there's a good album in there somewhere.

Milk Teeth's debut was disappointing too after a cracking couple of EPs. They've lost their grunge in favour of just general shit-punk.

The setlist at brixton was excellent, The love within is definitely laughably bad, but I quite enjoy a few songs here and there.
