Both fantastic. Angel Olsens especially had me in a trance all day yesterday. Top 5 AOTY so far for sure

Her last one was pretty alright while not being special, but the singles off this one are in a different league, so I'm expecting a big step up.

Yeah it is an incredible surprise of a record. Put off listening to it for a while because the last one was fairly good but nothing that made me look forward to the next one or anything but she's completely changed up her game and brought some huge tunes with this one - listened to it more in the past two weeks than I think I ever did Burn Your Fire for No Witness.

Back to Isaiah Rashad for a sec; I was kinda disappointed initially because same as so many others I'd been looking forward to what was next from this guy after hearing Cilvia and on first impressions TST felt over-long and unambitious. Now I've listened to it a couple more times and focused on it song-for-song rather than the big picture, I think it's great. He's still extremely talented and the production is kinda low-key and so are the features (obligatory Kendrick spot on TDE record aside) but that gives him more room to shine technically. I think the problem was - with so many Kendrick comparisons - expecting a statement like GKMC forgetting that Section.80 came first; so if this is Isaiah's Section.80 then the big things are yet to come.

Yep it's very good. Been switching between the Angel Olsen album and this all week. Two fantastic releases

The new Wedding Present album arrived this morning

on first listen.....The boy Gedge done good, very good

I have it on good authority* that John Peel will turn up to add mandolin and waily ghost noises to every set in the JP tent next year if this lot don't finally appear on the bill.

loving the new Local Natives record. never felt the need to go back to their last album so much but this one is already getting repeat listens from me. really hope they're at the festival next year

[dentalplan]

I'm looking forward to the fruits of this collab between Sam Dust and Connan Mockasin. Think they went on a Flight of the Conchords binge.

The Darkness are looking better than ever

[The Nal]

Just catching up with Melanie De Biasio's latest. Wow. Album is one tune. 25 mins. Recorded live. Sound a lot better not played on youtube.

I've now listened to the new Wedding Present album 4 times. I have to upgrade my initial rating of 'good' to 'bloody excellent'.

The best they've ever done and my favourite this year so far.

Give them a headline slot in the JP Tent, they deserve it, and John would approve wholeheartedly

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

King Giz tonight @ Hare & Hounds in Brum. Apparently their set includes 3 new tracks ;

Barrel Roll, Grumbling Castle and Lord of Lightning. I assume the new album can't be far away.

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

King Giz were great last night. 250 cap, hot and sweaty, mosh pits, stage diving, crowd surfing the lot. Played Nonagon with I'm in your mind, barrel roll and grumbling castle mixed in. Anyone else catching them on this tour are in for a treat.

[FloorFiller]

Zac de la Rocha has, finally, released a solo song

produced by El-P. sounding good on first listen. excited to hear what else he has in stall (i'm assuming an album is coming)

[Mash011]

New Sleaford Mods track, don't find it especially exciting but there ya go.

 

[EighteenSixty7]

This makes me very happy. New album out in October.

[The Nal]

Edit. Ooops just saw FF posted Zack de la Rochas song above.

Really liking it! Reminds me of Jilted era Prodigy a bit.

[Amy Lawn]

New Angel Olsen is goddamn gorgeous 

[Tyonks]

Just listening to King Gizzard for the first time this evening, thanks to this thread. Fucking excellent band - looks like i've just missed out on their UK tour though! bummer
