Direct from Bella Union!

Awesome. Not showing as a pre-order on the website so maybe it's been brought forward!

Ordered it so hopefully I'll get it early next week or at least the digital version as I think that's included with the physical copy.

Been listening to the new Steve Mason album non stop since yesterday. By far the best album I've heard so far this year and his most focused and accessible yet. Some may not like it because of just that, but it still contains all his eclecticism and his wonderful ear for uplifting melody. Outstanding stuff.

Been listening to Holy Esque's debut album all weekend and it's fantastic. Vocals are reminiscent of Ellery from WU LYF and got a cool E+TB post-punk thing going on with dashes of post-rock. Endorse it highly.

Here's their new single.

 

 

I remember hearing one of their songs a couple of years and thinking it was good, had no idea they now had an album out! I'll give it a listen as that song you posted is really good.

I'm on my second listen now.  I absolutely loved the Beta Band 3 EPs, but I found their "proper" albums never lived up to expectation.  This is absolutely phenomenal stuff though.

They were playing the new Wolfmother album in the shop today when I went in to buy the new Santigold. It sounded camp and silly as shit, but I couldn't help but find it ridiculously fun, I reckon I'm going to buy it... Sorry in advance.

"Dying Surfer Meets His Maker" came out at the end of last year, and they have a gap in their touring schedule, and Glastonbury needs more PyschBluesStonerRock, so bring on All Them Witches.

(show starts about a minute into the video, if you fancy a listen).

New M83. Wasn't totally sold on it at first but as the song went on and on my second listen it's definitely growing on me.

The albums out on 8th April and has Beck and Susanne Sundfor on it which definitely has potential.

Ah they've got to be there, brilliant on first listen

What the hell is it with bands going disco to follow up a critically acclaimed album? Is there someone that's going to all these award ceremonies and fancy parties convincing them it's a good move? Is it Nile Rodgers?

I'm not really digging it but I can allow it as long as the rest of the album isn't like that.

 

 

 

New Kills deserves a mention. They've shaken up their sound on it and it's certainly for the best.

Yeah, I was expecting them to change it up a bit compared to Hurry Up, We're Dreaming given the way he'd talked about it but wasn't expecting this sort of thing. I've just seen the album cover which is different to say the least...

Wow, I've never really listened to M83 but thought I'd give this a try. I really, really like it. Love that piano roll.

I know nothing about M83 but will do some research on them when I have the time and will deffo listen to this album when it's released.

Oh wow this is good. Just went on Spotify to listen to the album and saw they're playing Newcastle in May, so thanks. Been desperately looking for decent gigs here as there's fuck all.

dentalplan must have some good soundproofing if he was listening to the album all weekend and you couldn't hear it in his attic.

      I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.

      MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.

      2027 Headliners

      Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others

      From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”

      Glastonbury 2027 ticket price predictions

      By dumski · Posted

      I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
