January is shaping up. Japandroids album confirmed for 27th (same day as Cloud Nothings and Flaming Lips) and these guys the week before...

 

This BANGS, I'm well into this kind of upbeat baroque pop stuff. The older stuff of theirs I've heard doesn't wow me quite as much but I'm going to dl it and give a listen anyway.

Just get We are the 21st etc.

In hindsight, Star Power is looking increasingly like a conscious fuck up of a follow-up-to-a-breakthrough and the earlier stuff is patchy, tho some songs shine thru.

Fun fact: Jonathan Rado (the songwriter, guitarist in vid) was in the first episode of Community.

Huh, that's... I would not have expected it to be the Dane Cook guy.

(3rd episode, though)

Never listened to Foxygen before, love this!  Strings and horns give it that late 70s/early 80s soul pop sort of vibe.  Great shout dental.


Edit: Add @FloorFiller's shout for Japandroids to that as well.  Downloading albums from both for listening later.

Good to see new stuff from Bonobo as well.  What stage would you put him on @Mezhyp1?

Seems perfect for The Park headliner for me, i think he'd be wasted in JPT personally, but i don't think it's out of the question

I don't know if anyone caught Palace playing both the John Peel & Rabbit Hole this year, they are a fab band and have their first album out 04/11, check them out if you get a chance! 

 

Picked up their album from a new music playlist this weekend, love it. Heartily recommended!

Common might just have dropped his best album since Be.

 

Superb so far.

Ooh, now that's got my attention. I did love Be, though the follow up was awful. I'll give it a bash next week.

Despite her playing this year, and being recommended by a few people on here who's opinion I respect, I've only just got round to listening to Anna Meredith's album. It's a cracker.

Enjoying the Fuzzy Logic remaster as well.

Been in love with Varmints ever since I clicked on the video to Nautilus when the Graun leaked that she was playing. Her WH set was a highlight this year, and Varmints would be my AotY pick if it weren't for 'Yoncé.

Its taken over my weekend listening. Its as though the LWFC/Be Common has come back. 

Amazing album so far.

You're saying all the right things here. All Common's output up to Be was fan-fucking-tastic, and then he totally dropped off after that. Will have to get on this new one.

For me Be is the best thing Kanye has ever worked on. Such a great record. So much warmth in the production.

Be really is an incredible record.

I could barely finish it. Sounded like bad Maccabees. :wacko:

Really?  Fair enough.  You're wrong, but fair enough ;)

Hahaha, love this. To be honest 'bad maccabees' is still enough for me to give it a listen. 3 songs in, I get the comparison - but its still good so far.

Those first three tracks man, from the acoustic bass intro, to The Corner's sample hook, to Go's nursery rhyme chorus - top top stuff.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By katyaz · Posted

      So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
