2016 New Music Thread

[Guest]

So November holds for me; Paul Simon, Dinosaur Jr, The Cure + The Twilight Sad. Excellent.

They've actually been really great since they came back, I Bet On Sky was brilliant, I got high hopes for this. If nothing else, they're pretty unbeatable as a live band.

I could count the amount of Wild Beasts songs I don't like on one hand... unfortunately the new one will be joining that list

after a few listens i really love that Wild Beasts song. definitely not what i was expecting from them, and i hope they return to the guitar driven stuff at some point in their career, but it's just insanely catchy. new album should be interesting. 'Boy King'. weird title. gutted they're not at the festival this year

What about the Lennon Claypool Delirium then. The audios on newtoob sound very much like whatsisname. Lennon that's it. Not that it's a bad thing.  I think the world needs it right now. Anyway the LP is out next week.

I've downloaded Modern Baseball's new album, because I live in infinite hope that proper emo will become a thing again. Will report back if it's any good.

christ i'd totally forgot that he had a new album on the way. he'd be a great addition, although you'd think he would've been announced with all the electronic stages

I would think the deal is it's Lennon doing vox and Claypool's spreading his seed all over the sound, as it seems he's doing from the audio. Should be cool though and I didn't realise the album was out soon so cheers!

 

Back to Venusaur Jr. for a minute; they're appearing on Jools Holland in, like, twenty minutes and debuting a new tune. Gonna wait for them to drop the studio cut later on because Later... is quite often bollocks for rock bands.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra (playing the festival this year!) dropping a new single 'First World Problem' tonight. No word on if this is for a new album or anything but it would seem very soon. Still, after how great that last album was I'm hyped regardless.

[pastorofmuppets]

I don't want to be one of those 'I only like the old stuff' bores, but I don't think any band have ever disappointed me as much as Wild Beasts. First two albums are brilliant, as well as all the B-sides they released around that time. In fact, I think this is still their best song...

That new song pretty much confirms to me that they're just a mediocre synthpop band now. Shame.

I listened to Modern Baseball and Car Seat Headrest's new albums today, both very good. Amy Lawn seal of approval granted.

[Woffy]

Anyone else get sporadic weird mailing list type emails from Tim Smith - formerly of Midlake - with updates on how his HARP project is basically achieving fuck all in the way of releasable material?

this song is ace! looks to be a standalone but it's made me want to catch them at the festival even more, even though i'm highly anticipating having to miss them

It was definitely played, I caught the second half of it on a periscope stream. Hard to tell how good it was really but it seemed alright and sounded exactly like what you'd expect from The Strokes.

Edit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oxmnm0vibcm5don/Oblivious (sirius XM premiere).m4a?dl=0 here it is until there's a better version online

Pushy Parlure Friday.

Pretty sure she also self-confirmed for Park (or something else was heard which told us she was Park), so potentially two sets.

New Dinosaur Jr sounds very much like Dinosaur Jr
 

Pretty much the pinnacle of guitar bands.

Also a new Todd Terje EP is out there for those who care to look. Bunch of disco covers + remixes
