Extra cool points for using Joan Cornella as their album art

Superb news. Yeah Park headliner. They haven't played since 04.

They're playing Sound Summit up in the hills when I'm in California in September. Can't really not go now.

Having never listened to them before reading this thread, thanks for all the love shown to King Gizzard.  Listening to Nonagon this morning and it's bloody amazing.  Debate now is whether to see them at Brighton or Brixton!

If you liked Nonagon Infinity, it's well worth listening to their previous albums. I'm In Your Mind Fuzz is probably the most similar, but they're all worth listening to.

Thanks for the heads up. I got tickets for the Manchester gig yonks ago, when the gave away their last album. It must have been 15 months or so before the gig will be. At least they'll have two new albums worth of material to play by the time it eventually comes around.

Tickets are still available for the Brixton date according to their website, for anyone interested. Only 2 UK dates (so far).

7th October - New Goat album.

 

As per their facebook page

thing is that they usually do it in the 20's of June, and next year it will surely not be over June 30, July 1, 2 as that's too close to the July 4th holiday here which they may want to avoid to guarantee its commercial success, so it will most surely be over Glasto 23-25... 2013 was the one exception where Wilco went early 21-23, Glasto went later 28-30, which worked out well for me!...they (Wilco) have never done it pre-20's (at least for the last 3 that I've been to). although i just googled the very first one (2010) which turns out was in August, so who knows if they'll change i guess. but they're definitely going with the "every other summer" theme...

more new Wild Beasts, think this one is my favourite so far although to be fair the first two haven't been anything too exciting.

Gotta hand it to you Scruff, Profits of Rage would've been wittier than what I said.

hmm not been massively wowed by any of the songs thus far. Get My Bang is my favourite as it was such a shock and is ridiculously catchy - this one sounds like it could've been a throwaway from Present Tense. was kind of hoping after Get My Bang that they were just gonna run with the silly overblown electro RnB direction for the whole album, but it seems not

The Brand New reworked demos are ridiculously good. They really were at their peak between Deja and TDAGARIM

Yep they're really brilliant. Better than anything on Daisy imo. Got me hopeful they'll be returning to a similar direction with the new/last one

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

Absolutely.  Finally got round to it this morning. Glad I did.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm actually a wee bit let down by it, though mostly because the 4 or 5 tracks released in advanced were all stunning and nothing else on there matches up.

Freetown Sound is fucking incredible, is Blood Orange's past stuff like this?

his last album is although a bit more funky. can't say i've listened to his first one but i believe it's quite different

Just had Cupid Deluxe on in the house now, some killer tracks on first listen.

 

Phonte & Eric Roberson's album Tigallero is top notch.

First listen of new Bear's Den album, proper lovely.  Another band that had passed me by until now.  Love it.

[willutalk]

Top new Alter Bridge track. Tons of energy, polished production. I'm very fond of the riffage that AB bring to their music. Solid solo from Mark. Myles' voice is epic! Slightly towards the 'radio friendly' end to their music (presumably as it's an introductory track for the new album). Definitely worth a listen regardless of your personal preferences.

Regarding a slot at Glastonbury. A man can dream.

[dentalplan]

The guys from Creed aren't playing Glastonbury, Will. I'll stand in front of the Land Rover.
