LCD leave me cold. It is all a bit too kool for skool and a tad pretentious for my tastes. 

Thanks. Im not the only one! You hit the nail on the head to me (obviously not most on here) - they are not bad, but Im just a bit "meh" about them. I don't get it.

He means Paris Angels are poor.

Sundew is a decent enough album, although it sounds very dated now. Perfume is a stone cold classic.

I got round to listening to that James Blake record... it didn't really do anything for me. I found the tunes nice, but there was no emotional connection there. Ah well, leaves me clash-free on Saturday night.

You kids have got no perseverance! It takes time to kick in, you cheeky yoof!

I didn't get him at all and then kept going with The Colour In Anything, and now he's in my top-five most anticipated sets of the weekend.

West Holts, Saturday Night. Special.

Thanks again for posting them earlier in the thread! Did you see them on their tour last month? I wasn't planning to go as I had an exam a couple of days after it but ended up buying a ticket on the day and really glad I did, they were excellent, felt like one of the loudest gigs I've been to in ages too. Shame they're not playing the festival this year, they'd have been good on William's Green or something.

It doesn't do anything for me either. Think I like more layers to my songs were it feels like there is only ever one thing going on at a time in LCD's songs if that makes sense.

Suppose a better way to express it would be to say they are too minimalist for my liking

They lack a bit of 'oomph' don't they?

I like them but always real it doesn't quite get there.

The only tune by them I can ever say I really like is a live version of a tune which starts naming bands and acts. (Gil Scott Heron is the only one I remember). I loved the tune, but wished it was vocal free. That didn't work, but the tune and beat I really liked.

Otherwise I've always just gone "it's alright".

Nah their tour was fairly vast but didn't come very close to me. Was pinning hopes on Glastonbury but just gotta hope there's a winter tour now.

Stuck the album on this weekend for the first time in a while though and I'd forgotten how strong it was, start to finish. It'd definitely figure highly for me too if I was to prematurely evaluate the halfway point in the music year.

new Local Natives album Sunlit Youth out September 9th. new song Villainy here

certainly sounds more upbeat than their previous record

I wasn't sure about this at first but it has grown on me massively! Past Lives was brilliant too so I'm very excited for the album... off to pre-order now :D

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
