[Quark]

That's quite similar to my thoughts on the album. I think Overflow's a great song but the rest just kind of plods along and while it's not bad and overall a decent album, there's just nothing exciting going on.

I do think the songs came alive a bit more as a live performance (obviously).  Certainly felt more energetic.

Yeah I thought the same. I know I recommended it to Quark but I thought he'd like it and I was right.  It has no right being 52 minutes long either, but it's definitely the sort of synthy arena rock thing I like so I'd like to see them grow and get better.

That bit is bang on Dental.  The album's had a few listen but I've certainly not made it to the end every time.

well that's me really chuffed. This thread is great for new finds. I owe this one to the cracking chap who runs Left for Dead in Shrewsbury though, cheers for feedback

Excellent band thanks for the recommendation 

[st dan]

I'm finding myself rather enjoying this after hearing it on Radio One the other night whilst flicking through the stations in my car:

Dont know much about them - debut album not out yet but - they remind me very much of Late of the Pier from back in the day!

[kingcrawler]

Listened to the new Circa Waves album twice now and can't say I'm too into it. I'm not a huge fan by any means but I thought their debut was a solid effort and that they were really good at what they did. They've changed up the sound on this new one a bit though, half of it seems to be going for an Homme influenced Arctic Monkeys sound and the other half is the same idea as their debut but without the jangle. It's not a bad album and I'll stick with it but on the whole it just lacks the charm and the fun that their debut had.

New Ondatropica is warming up a cold morning.  Todos bangers, nada clangers.

[jyoung]

Laura Marling, Charli XCX and Circa Waves all downloaded for todays commute to and from work. Very much looking forward to giving Marling's new one a spin.

Listened to The Shins new one, Heartworms, a fair few times now.

Big fan of theirs, and I had fairly low hopes because of one or two of the singles, but it's much better than I expected. 7.5/10 overall from me, which seems to be in line with the reviews so far.

I confused the shins with someone else and listened to this earlier. Any recommendations  from the back catalogue?

Public Service Broadcasting seem to be in the progress of releasing their new single.  The links are all up, but none of them seem to actually lead to a song.  Nothing on YouTube either as far as I can see.

Working Spotify link. I like it

Romanian band, I saw them last year at Sziget! Quality stuff

I like the change in sound and think Wake Up is a great song but the album does drag in the middle, it could still do pretty well though. The Laura Marling album is quite lovely, great production. If I'm feeling brave later on I might give the magnetic fields one a go.

I wasn't too sure about Wake Up and Fire That Burns at first but both really grew on me, hoping the album does the same but it feels like the songs just aren't as good as those two. Going to give the Laura Marling one a listen today as well as hopefully Cameron Avery and The Shins.

The new sleaford mods is more melodic, more varied than their usual output. I like it

Really liking it myself at the moment. On 3rd listen now this week. Snout, Drayton Manored, Dull and I Feel So Wrong are belters. Very Lydon.

Going to see Oranj Son for the second time (first in Manchester) in a few weeks. Couple of singles out and some belters on  their  soundcloud. Noticed they are on (low down)  the Liverpool sound City line up too. Got a mate who saw them at Edge Hill uni a few weeks ago - said they were 'intensely watchable'. Whatever that means.

Chutes Too Narrow and Wincing The Night Away are two almost perfect albums for me.

In terms of tracks - Saint Simon, Phantom Limb, New Slang. All fantastic.

[The Clearest Blue]

Just popped in to say, and apologies if this has already been mentioned, but First Aid Kit have a new track out - You are the Problem Here. That is all.

[Simpo]

A new Soulwax song! Featuring Victoria Smith from Jamie T's band on drums, Blake Davies from Turbowolf on drums, and Iggor Cavalera, yes, from Sepultura on, yes, drums. And his wife Laima apparently. (Not on drums)

Last tickets for their Manchester gig on sale atm, and a just announced 2manydjs show across the road straight after. And I'm off work the day after. Really need more of my friends to become fans of all things Soulwax!

I hope they play somewhere with good sound at Glastonbury.

Finally got a video for this released... (possibly NSFW)

Been in love with this band for a while now https://youtu.be/L4sbDxR22z4

New ep by Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever.

 

It's an absolute beaut. I'm new to this band but they're the best thing I've found in ages. The latest in a long line of genius Australian indie pop. The Go-Betweens, Ariel Maps, Modern Giant, the Lucksmiths. That sort of thing. Anyway this is a fucking cracker.

Heard this on Soccer AM this morning and loved it. Immediately bought the EP and Tight Talk from last year.

I'll check out the others you've mentioned.

Ooo, fucking 'ell. That was great, that.

I like that I got a down vote for posting a song I like. Nice work, that person.
