I liked Present Tense, but it definitely marked a departure from their operatic/ dual vocal/ guitar style, which yeah like you say was unique. I've only listened to Get My Bang so will wait until the proper release now. This is a great soundboard/pro-shot gig from arguably their best days in 2009 Edited July 27, 2016 by Chawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they doing that? What is their deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they doing that? What is their deal? nobody's forcing me - i just enjoy hearing new music from bands i love and so tend to do it as soon as it's made available. even if i didn't listen to the songs, the practice still annoys me. i think more than a third of an album being released beforehand is a little shitty and just has me thinking 'well there's one less song i can be excited about hearing in the correct sequence' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have it both ways. i doubt Wild Beasts have much of a wide appeal to the single song market. almost all of the comments on both the Youtube video and Facebook page are talking about how excited/worried they are about the upcoming album because of the thus far released songs. i get your point, but this many songs in such a short amount of time a week or so before the album's due seems very unnecessary even if they are trying to get the word out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Anyone else come across D.A.R.K.? Dolores O'Riordan, Andy Rourke and Olé Koretsky. Couple of songs on youtube ahead of the album release (tbc). It's not bad, not completely got hold of me but interested to see what the album's like when it appears.

the wonderwhy Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) New Massive Attack with Hope Sandoval is beautiful. There's another coming with Ghostpoet on too.

Saw them before but they played the second stage at Victorious which had awful sound. Would be nice to see them play somewhere good. Just seen them lined up to play a small venue in Guildford in September, think I might well be making the drive to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 had Dinosaur Jr's new album on all day and like dental said earlier in this thread, it's very bloody good! one of the few acts who's post reformation material has been equal to, if not better than, what came before it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just given it a listen and I like it; some great catchy tracks on there in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yep Nao's album is really good. Viola Beach's album is a good effort too. Catchy, poppy, pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there's 3 or 4 small interludes that are 30s or less, so really it's 14 tracks. Yeah you're right the album is really good. Gonna try and catch her on tour in a few months.

EighteenSixty7 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I've been listening to this today aswell. http://www.closedsessions.com/releases/2016/7/15/jamila-woods-heavn Really lovely. In the same vain as To Pimp A Butterfly and Black Messiah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yup the Nao album deserves all the praise it's gonna catch. Fantastic record. Glad I got to witness all these bangers going off in the rain at the Park last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
