been meaning to give his stuff a listen. this is very good! the other members' new band Whitney are sounding pretty damn promising as well - have only heard this song so far (not sure if they've released any more) but it's been getting a lot of plays from me. very different from Smith Westerns

 

I didn't even realise he had solo stuff out until I saw someone mention it last week so it was a nice surprise. Definitely worth giving the album a listen.

That Whitney song is really good, as you say certainly a bit different to Smith Westerns but I like it.

I came in here to do a victory lap because Vessels are now TBC ... but I realise now I never put them in my list of things I'd like to see.. even though they are high on my list of things I'd like to see.  So to remedy that... new(ish) Vessels

The Joy Formidable's album is streaming, I'm 4 tracks in and I don't really know what I'm thinking... first track sucked for certain though

[jonodillieono]

I don't remember any of the album and I only listened to it an hour ago. Whether my memory has gone to shit or it was just a very meh album I don't know

Those new track from The Hotelier are pretty good. Really looking forward to it. It also seems as if one of the songs they released is a prequel to the new album which is interesting (I guess)

I saw them in Manchester, was really impressed. I absolutely love No Woman

Don't know how to post embedded videos but here's the new one from The Rhythm Method. Probably my new favourite band since I saw them support Real Lies last year. 

Some really clever lyrics and fun backing tracks.

 

I think they're playing the farm as well

I checked out another song of theirs a few months ago (the one where he's standing about the house in a Celtic shirt) and thought it was terribad, but I guess their thing is always gonna be polarising.

After two listens through of the new (rather beautiful two-colour vinyl) Explosions in the Sky record, I can report that it's bloody good.

Despite being a classic Post Rock fanboy, I'm enjoying the fact that they have decided not to make just another quiet>quiet>quiet>build>build>build>BUILD...CRESCENDO!! record.

This new one is more electronic and varied and no less smashing for it. Now I'm looking forward even more to their headline set on The Park.

Where should I start with M83 please peeps? Have listened to a few tracks on Deezer and quite like it.

Will people stop picking on The Pet Shop Boys please?

I'd say Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts and Hurry Up, We're Dreaming are their two best albums so probably worth starting with one of them. They're a bit different to each other, Dead Cities... is more shoegazy electronic music whereas Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is much more pop influenced.

Hurry Up sounds like my kind of thing.

Will put it on Deezer after I have stopped rocking my box off to The Pet Shop Boys. Cheers for the reply :-)

Forgive my ignorance mate but is that a M83 album? I had a listen to the Hurry UP album last night, quite enjoyed it although it got a bit samey.

Hurry Up definitely isn't their best imo - some great songs but i agree that it gets a bit samey. give Before The Dawn Heals Us a go as that's their all round best effort i think. Saturdays = Youth is also very good. was the one that first introduced me to them

Kiran Leonard's new record is a growler. An absolute sprawl of genre and style.

[Tuna]

+1 to what FF said, HUWD is more representative of what they will play now but it's not a patch on Saturdays/Dead Cities/BTDHU and even the s/t.

I've had the new NZCA Lines record on pretty much every day this week

I only listened to that album because someone mentioned it on here last month, it was possibly even you, but yeah it's a really good album. Two Hearts is a fantastic song.

I like it ... Got a very Wolfmother/Subways vibe to it.
