Just heard a band called Lyves, really new band and their latest song is great, well worth a listen.

new Beyonce album Lemonade out now  i'm sure there'll be somebody else excited about that on here, especially considering it features Kendrick, Jack White, The Weeknd and James Blake

Any good? I can take or leave most of her solo stuff but the collaborations/samples on this have upped my interest.

Very good. Sticking with the less pop oriented approach her last album took and a pretty wide variety of styles. The Jack White song is a proper rocker, the Kendrick song is fantastic and the James Blake song is essentially just a short James Blake song with Beyoncé singing a bit of backup vocals.

Ooh sounds promising, will give it a listen later. Cheers!

Mine ears have beheld the glory of the coming of the jam of the year (so far) and it's Hold Up, the second track.

For anyone wondering how/why FJM ended up on that Beyonce record, check out his recent tweets

Lemonade is this year's first real AotY contender, IMO.

Jay Z fucked up bad. I'm more shocked at Beckywiththegoodhair though, who the hell sleeps with 'Yoncé's man?

yep i'm loving it more and more with each listen. didn't think she was gonna top her last album but this pisses all over it for me. the incredibly personal airing of dirty laundry just adds to the whole thing. the fuck did Jay Z do and who with and how is it now all okay!?

[FloorFiller]

also the James Blake song is so weird. i just don't understand why it's on the album... i mean... it's just a James Blake song that Beyonce sings the tiniest bit of backing vocals on. wouldn't surprise me if it also turns up on his album or she at least returns the favour and appears on his album herself. a huge bit of promotion for him though

Blackstar? 

Lemonade's good but it won't be in my top 5 of the year so far...1st few tracks are really good, kinda lose its luster by the end.

Beckwiththegoodhair is Rachel Roy. It's all but confirmed.

It's nice having 2 new albums worth of material every chance I get to see them. Don't know how they find the time to always be on tour and write 2 albums a year.

I should be very excited about that, but the name brings me fear of M83-like naffness.

I think they are just very productive in session and also record in studios while on the road. Can't remember which one of their albums they were talking about on their KEXP thing but I think they just said they wrote and recorded one of them in two days - might have been Quarters. If they bring out a couple more albums this year of the quality of Nonagon Infinity then I think I might quit my job and all material possessions and become the Gizzard equivalent of a Deadhead. They've got such a good thing going.

Also, as we're here and talking about excellent music coming out of Australia, did anyone check out the album Feelin Kinda Free by Melbourne post-punk band The Drones? Incredible stuff. Here's a video for video fans - album fans, you know what to do.

Hang about, there are multiple Australian bands making decent music at the same time? Fucking hell, all bets are off.

Spot who wasn't around when Born Sandy Devotional and Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express were released within weeks of each other.

[dentalplan]

Does every thread around here have to turn into a Triffids thread? I mean

[CaledonianGonzo]

1. Born Sandy Devotional

2. The other ones

Shit bags, really?!

They were absolutely brilliant last year in the Park, probably my highlight (need to check what I posted last June to see what I said back then!)

The first 15 minutes of that gig (I think it ending with Cellophane?) really blew me away,   more than anything I heard all weekend. It gave me a smile which stayed with me all weekend, really blew the hangover away

Such intense energy
