New Shura album came out on Friday, well worth a listen.  I'd not come across her before but picked up the single Nothing's Real on a new music playlist and downloaded the album last night.  Really rather good.

Agreed. Literally knew nothing about her, saw it as one of Spotify's new albums and put it on. Great listen.

Another one for the Shura album here. Really enjoyable pop record, if not particularly ground breaking.

[WS_Jack_III]

Enjoyed Shura on the Other this year. Never heard her stuff before.

Would've caught her (and Haelos) however all the other stages were starting off brilliantly so had to swerve. She'll be back, though.

Great new sounds from Justice and Preoccupations. Here's new Peej...

 

 

P.S. y'all sleeping on Blank Face LP until the p4k review or what?

New stuff from Scottish duo Honeyblood. I was a big fan of their first album, I like this for starters

Yeah Honeyblood are cool, I preferred their slightly slower stuff like 'Super Rat' or 'Bud'` but I hope they get booked next year. Saw them before but they played the second stage at Victorious which had awful sound. Would be nice to see them play somewhere good.

I've seen them in a few small tight venues in Glasgow, they rock quite hard live actually. I look forward to hearing a full record 

They'd make nice lunchtime Park or JP listening

They're playing the Hug and Pint on Great Western Road on the 26th September. Not sure what the capacity is there but I can imagine they'll shift the tickets for that pretty quickly. I'm hoping I'll be able to pick one up on payday.

It's already sold out matey, it only holds about 150/200 maximum. I didn't bother trying, it's on a Monday night, which is far from ideal

Ha, ach well, sure I'll see them again fairly soon. As you said earlier they'd be great on The Park next year

unfortunately missed Hinds in favour of Kamasi Washington. hoping they play nearby soon!

Hinds have just announced dates in Manc, Glasgow, Bristol and London at the end of Nov/early Dec. Bit of a bastard that the Bristol date is the same as Tourist, but I'll probably go for Hinds again.

DnB isn't normally my cup of tea but I've come across TC's new album Unleash The Wolves on Deezer's new releases section and have to say that I'm really rather enjoying it.

I'd really recommend that new Souljazz compilation of experimental 1970s Venezulean music. Some nice stuff on there

Having been to a shitload of gigs and Glasto over the last few months I haven't had a chance to dig for new tunes. Have spent the week searching for new stuff I like. With not much success. A lot of it seems to be punchy rock music we've all heard a millions times before. 

This is superb though! Nice one. Made my morning. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just about anything issued on Soul Jazz is worth tracking down, but agree that the Venezuelan 70 one is a belter.  Appropriately enough it kind of exists in this sort of floaty space between contemporaneous stuff from Brazil and Colombia but with just as much of a US influence, and winds up sounding like not much else.

Got a mate in Caracas that I need to hit up to see what he makes of it.

New Jagwar Ma track called OB1 is great. They played it at Glasto and i was digging it then.

Yep thought it was ace at Glastonbury and the studio version sounds great too. Stoked for this new album

Howlin' is possibly my favourite album to come out in the last 5 years. Very happy to have something more on the way from this band. Gonna get tickets for their Leeds show, lovely birthday gift for myself.

[EighteenSixty7]

Can't fault Michael Kiwanuka's album so far.

[nikkic]

Just heard the new Justice track. It's good. Basically Random Access Memories 2.0.

I couldn't help mention RAM when I heard it.

It's one of those albums I can appreciate, but don't necessarily enjoy if that makes sense?  Just not my thing, but giving it a second go at the moment.

New Queens of the Stone Age before the close of the year. Could make them more likely for Glasters?

That's a shame. It bangs from start to fini. Is it the gangster rap element that holds it back for you? It is quite a dark record but carries it off well, a bit like Summertime 06.

I was surprised when I found out he'd added more to Groovy Tony as it was excellent before, but it's somehow even better.
