2016 New Music Thread

A Tribe Called Quest's new album is sounding fantastic on first few listens. remains to be seen if it'll go down as another classic but i'm loving it  first few times 'round

[FloorFiller]

that new Flaming Lips song is sounding great. i'm ticketless and the lineup hasn't even been announced yet but i'm already getting the fear that they're gonna be caught in a headliner clash one of the nights

[the wonderwhy]

Hmm yeah same. I'm already sorta hoping my headliners are gonna be Radiohead - Kraftwerk - Foos. Obviously plenty of time for that to change but with the likes of Flaming Lips/Primal Scream/Warpaint all likely to be in contention for various headline spots things are definitely going to get messy again.

A Tribe Called Quest night tonight, give the new album a proper first spin.

[FloorFiller]

Metallica's new album is available. Been pretty impressed with the singles so far so quite looking forward to this. Obviously not gonna be anything mind blowing but I'd be happy with another album of Death Magnetic quality 

[EighteenSixty7]

Ah by christ... that Whateva Will Be beat.

 

Wow.

[tevaburger]

a post-US election theme song... new from LA, Mondo Cozmo

 

[EighteenSixty7]

It's 2016 and Common and A Tribe Called Quest have dropped 2 of the best albums of the year in back-to-back weeks. I'm so happy.

The one you've all been waiting for

 

Better than ELO mind you

Also been listening to this over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thumbs up from me.

Vermont are Danilo Plessow (better known as Motor City Drum Ensemble) and Marcus Worgull. Album is due out in Feb 2017 but he's there first track for any electro buffs

[lobo]

Really enjoying the new Tribe album too. Wonder what the likely hood of them playing is? Someone mentioned elshwere that they were done touring...

 

I Saw Q-tip headline west holts in 2009, incredible gig. I think his 3 solo albums are worth a listen after exploring a tribe called quest.

I've been scratching my head over why people aren't all falling over each other over worship of this album for the last few months, easily one of the best of the year.

I agree, it's fantastic and seems to have gone mostly under the radar.

I haven't got round to listening to it for some reason. The Kingdom ep was wicked though, a couple of my favourite GP tracks on there

Bit late to this party but I've just been through Powell's latest album having never heard of him before and think it's brilliant. Reminds me a lot of Suicide. 

Excited for all the top albums of 2016 albums I always seem to miss some gems through the year and clean up in December., rough trade just released there's hence how I found Powell.

The song I just checked out is cool. Will pursue that.

Which reminds me, I stumbled across this song described as "Nick Cave meets Suicide" by the YouTube comments. The rest of the album isn't quite like this but it's still very 80's inspired (his character is a washed up 80's singer) and it's just as great.

I like that, got the album on Spotify now.

I love days when you scoop up loads of new music, you can go through weeks of nothing new then completely change you're immediate go to albums in a few hours (on a particularly good day).

The best one is when you dismiss a band for a couple of albums then release one song you love that opens up there back catalogue in a new way and you can feast on it. Maybe that's just me... happened with The Garden recently (I wouldn't say they're good, but I do enjoy them now)

I love The Garden.  They'd be some outrageous fun somewhere at Glastonbury.

[Tuna]

Seeing The Garden is comfortably my worst ever live experience.

Was reading this and thought of this thread...

To be honest though, I do collect all of a number of specific bands releases and although I groan internally when I see another 'boxed set' appear of something I have 100 copies of already, nothing beats the experience of unboxing it.

I am not surprised. They seem like the sort of act that would either be amazing or a car crash in the flesh.

Just spotted they have a new song!
