2017 New Music Thread

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Nothing to do with new music and a bit naughty of me but ...

Could any of you London types PM me about stuff to do near London Bridge. My sister has paid for us to stay in the Tower Hotel right next to the Bridge this coming Sat night and also paid the rail fare (Birthday), arrive Midday Sat, leave Sunday afternoon. Anyone who knows places I really should visit ? I'm all up for record shops, art galleries, museums, places to eat, whatever. Any recommendations would be appreciated.. Ta.

Erm, yeah. New music..

Day trip?

new alt-J. Much more upbeat than 3WW but still different to anything they've done before imo.

[dentalplan]

Still kinda goofy and not as good as 3WW but I'll be damned if that isn't a fun jam. I haven't got the energy for another ugly duckling sitch after The 1975's year. Post some bad songs please Augustus Figaro Niso Unger-Hamilton.

First The 1975, now alt-J, next it'll be Wolf Alice being acclaimed by dental...

I reckon he's started picking up the NME now it's free, they've brought him around to their way of thinking. Awkward, overly enthusiastic, out of the blue, tokenistic grime obsession to follow.

Blud I was bumping Channel U when you were... whatever you were doing at the same age as I was.

I'm worried about that Wolf Alice shout now tho. It's not unrealistic. Eep.

Tbf unlike The 1975 I hadn't actually listened to their albums before a couple of weeks ago so I was always somewhat muted in my dissent of them. I found that Taro is nifty and the one that sounds like it could be sat on an Arab Strap instrumental is cool too and that's it really; the second album is entirely negligible.

I'm not a huge fan of either album tbh, both have some really great moments but on the whole i find them a bit boring, I think I might prefer the second album though. Them and Foo's is an awkward clash for me, I quite like both but hardly a big fan of either so if anything exciting was up against them I'd happily miss them but neither Warpaint or The Jacksons appeal to me, holding out for a strong Saturday John Peel again.

I've done a bit of a 180 on those gorillaz tracks. Think they are not that bad now. I am a bit of a sucker for them though, don't know what it is but never seem to be able to dislike anything they do. 

New alt-j is not too shabby either. Who'd have thunk it. 

 

[Mash011]

Wow, alt-J have really given their whole act a kick up the arse for this new stuff. I always liked them really but this is another level. Those moaning about them being boring or MOR or whatever are going to struggle to keep saying that when they're putting out stuff as weird was 'In Cold Blood'.

[Lubic]

New Alt-J is decent on first listen, but loved 3WW. Their slower songs usually tend to be the standouts for me. The 2nd album in particular has some beauts like Nara, Bloodflood II, and John Hurt. Taro from the first album.

On the contrary to most here I think that new Alt-J song is pretty lame. Phew, thought I was gonna start becoming a fan there.

Happy Tall Ships Day y'all!

Dylans Triplicate is absolutely beautiful stuff. When I heard he was doing another standards album I wasn't up for it but fuck me, hes pulled it off. 

What a band he has.

Ah, interesting. I was going to steer well clear of it, but if you rate it, I'll maybe give it a quick go

Only listened to You Forgot it in People (which I love) so no reference to what they've done since, but I really like this!

I really liked the first album he did but thought this was too much but really liking it. 

Really good interview with him this week. Posted on his website. 

On Sinatra: “I think he knew ‘The Times They Are a-Changin’ and ‘Blowin’ in the Wind.’ I know he liked ‘Forever Young,’ he told me that. He was funny, we were standing out on his patio at night and he said to me, ‘You and me, pal, we got blue eyes, we’re from up there,’ and he pointed to the stars. ‘These other bums are from down here.’ I remember thinking that he might be right.”

[addicted2noise]

I'm not really a fan of the new Alt-J song either, it sort of sounds like they're now playing catch up to Glass Animals. Quite liking the new Kasabian song though, it has a great chorus.

Yeah that's their best, but the self titled is also a fantastic record
