I second Whitney, Steve Gunn and Radiohead. 

Albums I also really liked:

• Beyoncé - Lemonade
• Blood Orange - Freetown Sound
• Woods - City Sun Eater in the River of Light
• Weezer - The White Album
• Car Seat Headrest - Teens Of Denial
• Sturgill Simpson - A Sailors Guide To Earth

 

Heard really good things about that Woods album, I'm going to have to get involved I think. Agree about that Car Seat Headrest album too, it really is fantastic. Shame they had to be on so bloody early that I missed them!

The Tourist album is full of great summer beats, going to have to buy tickets for his December show in Bristol.

The AHOHNI album is my favorite of the year so far. Glorious stuff. Big shout out to Anderson Paak as well from way back in January, and The Coral on a return to form.

[Mash011]

Mid-year lists? Ite, top 5

• Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
• King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity
• Car Seat Headrest - Teens of Denial
• The So So Glos - Kamikaze
• The Last Shadow Puppets - Everything You've Come to Expect

[Gucci Piggy]

Radiohead, Anderson .Paak, Kendrick and James Blake probably my stand outs so far.

Haven't really thought about it so probably forgotten something, and I'm awful at listening to new music so there's probably loads that would be in my list if I'd bothered to check them out.

not including those already mentioned...

Mitski - Puberty 2
YG - Still Brazy
Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman
Kanye West - The Life of Pablo
Anderson Paak - Malibu
Hinds - Leave Me Alone
Skepta - Konnichiwa
Maxwell - blackSUMMERS'night
Mutual Benefit - Skip a Sinking Stone
ANOHNI - Hopelessness

i could go on and on - been a pretty good year so far!

Did you see Hinds at the festival? They were great!

Also seen Mitski talked up a lot - what's it like? Physc?

[Mezhyp1]

Would it be appropriate to put Frank Ocean as No1 yet? On the presumption it's going to be fucking amazing

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

Mitski is a female singer/songwriter - kind of indie/alternative i guess. obsessed with this song in particular at the moment

i was gonna say the same thing  ridiculously excited for it, even though i think the November date was probably the correct one from that list he posted

Yeah, a pretty harsh clash that one for me. I trust Kamasi was good? Hinds did a tour in the Spring, but if they have a good festival season they may well go again.

Cheers, I'll check that out!

Some decent releases out tomorrow, then it looks like a quiet(ish) few weeks (Good Charlotte anyone?). Good chance to catch up on some stuff I've missed recently.

Can you take a time out and only come back when you've learned how to behave properly please?

New Trust Fund is out now! https://trustfund.bandcamp.com/ starting my first listen as we speak. Second track, Ellis has gone all 808s And Heartbreak on us! I fucking love Trust Fund.

[Tuna]

Listening to the new Blood Orange for the first time - really, really good so far. Still like 7 more tracks, lucky me. Debbie Harry and Empress Of and Nelly Furtado and Carly Rae as guest vocalists? Fuck yeah!

Been listening to James Blake fucking loads since I got back. Had given the album a bit of a wide berth after I decided I'd be seeing New Order on the Saturday, got back into it in a big way since. It's a brilliant record.

Making up the rest of the top three so far this year are Radiohead and Car Seat Headrest.

My mate's suggested I check out Chance the Rapper, Eagulls and White Lung next. Any other recommendations?

[Guest]

These ones I like lots; Beyonce, Anderson .Paak, Emmy The Great, Car Seat Headrest, Anna Meredith, Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead, Christine & The Queens, Modern Baseball, Paul Simon, Melt Yourself Down, Imarhan, Polica.

These ones I have yet to listen to; Blood Orange, The Kills, David Bowie, Metronomy, Anohni, Floating Points, The Avalanches, King Gizzard, Death Grips, Massive Attack, Minor Victories.

I'm well looking forward to these ones; Frank Motherfucking Ocean, Los Campesinos!, Owen Pallett, Touche Amore, Miles Mosley (played bass in Kamasi's band, for those who were there at West Holts, he played a track at the Manchester show and it was fookin buzzin lads).

These were shit; Kanye West, Ladyhawke.

glad you enjoy it! the rest of the album is great, but that song (to me) is head and shoulders above the rest. that chorus is just so huge!

[FloorFiller]

also, looks like new Justice material may be on the horizon. new song Safe and Sound was apparently played at Sonar Festival during Ed Banger's House Party. it's the first song in this video:

Heard I think two singles, utter trash. It's like when you people all wanted to pretend Bieber's latest album was good. It wasn't, it was cast off beats from a shite subgenre of shite house, with JB trying to sound cool over the top.

[Winslow Leach]

Best thing I've heard this year so far is 'Gqom Oh! The Sound of Durban' and you can all fight me.

More new Wild Beasts. I quite like Get My Bang anyway but there's definitely more in this for people who didn't like that to get into. 

[dentalplan]

Nah that feels entirely throwaway. At least I could see people strongly liking or disliking Get My Bang whereas that's just... a thing.

[kingcrawler]

Yeah I kind of agree but just figured people who didn't like the change of direction that Get My Bang was might prefer this, I agree it's nothing special though.

[Mash011]

Think they're both great tunes to be honest.
