2015 releases you're looking forward to

[Guest]

Excitement levels through the roof. Watch out Sufjan

Wonderful stuff. I can't wait for October, I need this album now.

[Guest]

Im hoping they pop up on the line-up

Good stuff, I really hope this new album helps them kick off.

[Mash011]

Personally I think it's about on par with the first one so far. Like you said the choruses aren't as catchy but I think a lot of it it packs more of a punch. They're sure to smash their inevitable Other Stage slot next year.

 

Okay I take back what I said about choruses, after a couple more listens I've decided that the choruses on 'Make Them Gold', 'Empty Thread' and 'Bury It' are all pretty huge. Hope some of those make it into their setlists.

I enjoyed the Steven A Clark album that came out last week.  He's in the R&B/Synth Pop genre that would probably play well round here

CHVRCHES album is tasty. I don't remember if I ever even listened to the first one in full so I can't compare.

[CaledonianGonzo]

New Lana Del Rey is the one that's (finally) won me over.

It's an absolute cracker and at the minute it sounds like it's the album that finally sees her living up to the early promise.

I nearly bought it yesterday in HMV, if it gets the CalGon seal of approval then I might have to go for it. I really love Born To Die and Paradise, but didn't get Ultraviolence because the singles didn't appeal to me.

 

We all know Chvrches is streaming here, yes?

First listen through and I like the sound of it. Nice big robust synthpop tunes, good for what ails ya. Same feelings as The Bones Of What You Believe, solid 7/10 album, very decent but never outstanding.

[home to you]

YES CALGO! Only half way through it myself but I've really enjoyed what I've heard so far

[stuartbert two hats]

New Battles album is an improvement on Gloss Drop, Ice Cream apart. Not as good as Mirrored, but I'd still like to see them at Worthy.

[Mardy]

I'd missed any lead up to it (or possibly forgotten)but just found out that there's a new Sweet Baboo. Gave it a listen this afternoon, and it's top notch fey whimsy. Love it

Looking forward to seeing these lads in Manc next month, still haven't given the album a spin mind. I've seen you hail their 2008 set a few times on here, I wish I saw them back then. I love Mirrored but I think I'll probably only get to see Atlas which is a shame. I'd love them to roll out Tonto; absolute belter.

I rather like the new album as well...and it's rather good live too as I found out tonight!

It is entirely one paced and stately to the point of somnolence - and I can see how that might pall a little after a while, but at the moment you'd BEST BELIEVE I'm feeling it's late summer David Lynchian Nelson Riddle torch song ennui.

It's the ne plus ultra of chilly Californian gothic.

Liking this!

After hearing a track from the new Bat for Lashes thing (SEXWITCH) earlier this year I was really looking forward to the album.

 

It's now streaming for free on Soundcloud in full and it's fantastic.

 

In my opinion

yeah i wasn't really sure what to make of this when it was announced but i really love the album! new BFL apparently due next year so unsure of whether Sexwitch will be doing festivals, but i'd welcome an appearance from both

In my opinion

She was a housemate of my wife's mate at uni and used to spend all day screeching Bjork and leaving her tampons to dry on the radiator!

 

Mrs Two Hats didn't like her much, which is a shame because I think her music is pretty good. 

[Room to sway]

Yeah would be great to see her live at some point (I never have), particularly as SEXWITCH.

 

Without the screeching and tampons on show of course

It's an absolute cracker and at the minute it sounds like it's the album that finally sees her living up to the early promise.

'God Knows I Tried' and here version of 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood' are my favourites off it. I love Lana Del Rey anyway but the new album is brilliant.

New Eagles of Death Metal album streaming here

It's reminding me of a cross between Antidotes-era Foals, and Holy Fuck. Which is good

 

Never listened to Mirrored, will give it a go.

His Bobness releasing "The Cutting Edge" Bootleg Series in November. 1965-1966!!

How he finds time to balance his music with the new Muppets show is a mystery.

This should probably go on a '2016 releases you're looking forward to' thread, but The Divine Comedy have just entered the studio. Hopefully they'll play 2017.

[Mardy]

I loved cassanova at the time, but after that never really bothered with them. Got the singles collection but rarely listen now. Their later stuff any good?

 

 

My favourite album by them is probably 'Absent Friends'
