2016 New Music Thread

[Timberford]

Agree that the new Daughter, Mystery Jets and Savages albums are sounding good on first few listens.

Other 2016 releases I've been enjoying, I don't think anyone else has mentioned:

– The Besnard Lakes

– NZCA Lines

– Pete Astor

– Sea Pinks

– Aidan Knight

[HoTWire]

New Monica Heldal album soon.  Williams Green?  Acoustic?

New Anderson Paak album was released yesterday and is very pleasant in a chilled Cali hip-hop/soul kinda way. Heavy is the presence of K-Dot in his drawl, but he's also a great singer as well. 

Yeah really liking this one.

awhhhh yis! this has been a long time coming and considering it's significance (seemingly being their last record) i am insanely anxious about it (in a good way).

Just finished my first (probably last) listen to the new Bloc Party album, all of a sudden my dream of Bloc Party headlining the JP subbed by Editors sounds horrible.

[bucko]

Just had a first listen to lost property by turin brakes and it was an instant success for my ears.

lovely album.

[Gucci Piggy]

Just listened to Hymns.

No idea what the fuck just happened.

Worst thing I've heard in a long time.

Absolutely baffling.

[The Placid Casual]

Kele's lost it. No one else on Earth could possibly think this album was a good idea.

[Andy0808 v5]

May have been mentioned earlier in this thread, but i'm late to the party as usual. 

 

Just finished listened to Marcus Marr & Chet Faker's EP Work that came out in December, only four songs but it is absolute class. Hopefully both/either of them pop up at the farm.

New Cat's Eyes album in June and they seem to have completely transformed their sound. I really like it, and I didn't really like the debut album at all.

 

 

[dentalplan]

Might get some mileage out of Cat's Eyes - 'middle of the road' jokes as well.

Surprised no one else has posted the new Primal Scream song yet. I quite like it, not really what I was expecting though. 

 

[Mezhyp1]

So far from what I would have been expecting from new PS, but I like it, Sky Ferreria definitely adds something I like to it

I'd not heard it yet tbh. It's alright - would hope for better on the album. Sounds like a New Order b-side.

[SwedgeAntilles]

1. Daughter – Numbers

 

2.Night Beats – No Cops

 

3. PJ Harvey – The Wheel

 

4. Emma Pollock – Parks and Recreation

 

5. TLSP – Bad Habits

 

6. Fat White Family – Whitest Boy on the Beach

Let me know if new Yuck is worth bothering with. The last one had that amazing single before release, then ended up being poops on the whole.

yeah exactly what i thought - Reborn was a really great song/direction, but the album was pretty darn pants. first single from this new album hasn't filled me with much hope tbh

Karl Hyde talks over some reasonable dance music that would be better if Darren Emerson had been involved... sounds like Underworld (since 2000) to me.  

Should imagine they would put on a good live show, they always used to.


Re:ATDI ... I suspect it is all the members of ATDI, it isn't like Cedric and Omar are short of random projects to use as names if it is just those two.

I thought that for many years, as I stopped listening to Underworld just as Emerson left. However, when they did their Olympics thing, I listened back to their back catalogue and was startled to find that he actually made next to no difference. Especially if you take into account that he wasn't even with the band at the start.

Underworld just failed to jibe with the Zeitgeist the Emerson left. Listening to their records as a body of work, I don't find much of a stylistic change and certainly no sudden drop off in quality. Maybe their very latest records aren't as good, but there's plenty to recommend in their 21st century work.

I like it ;-)

Not seen anything about these online, but while flicking through The Skinny the other day I saw that there are new albums from Santigold and Sarah Neufeld out in the world right now! I'll be listening during the week, but I wanted you all to know that you can enjoy them now.

[kingcrawler]

Came across this song the other day and I'd never heard of this band before, I really like it though. They're a sort of shoegazy band from Russia. Turns out they released their debut album last year so I'll try and give that a listen soon as well as their new album at the end of the month.

The new one is out there and it's - as Davina would put it - shamaze. Like best of 2016 excluding Blackstar good.
