Can't remember if it's been mentioned in here but the new Waxahatchee album is a belter, just got myself a ticket to see her in Manchester as well. Got a feeling a sister or some relation is supporting

New Killers song is a bit of a banger. Defo should've been the lead single over The Man.

Yep really loving this album at the moment. Very tempted to get tickets to go see her myself.

An excellent new track from The Districts who have followed up Ordinary Day with another similarly anthemic tune. Looking forward to the record dropping in a few weeks.

After slacking off for a year The Fall have finally released their 32nd. I love it, sounds like The Fall pretty much. Smith seems more determined than ever not to sing, I like it when he gets a bit growly though. Band have had a pretty consistent sound for a few albums now, curious to see if they'll mix it up a bit more drastically next time (although the absence of his wife's keyboards separates it from 2015's brilliant Sub Lingual Tablet).

Headliners 2020, mark (e smith) my words.

Never listened to it when he released it for free a while back but I've been listening to the new Passion Pit album this morning and it's really good. I listened to Manchester Orchestra's new album last night too and it seemed good as well, they're not someone I've heard too much of before but it's an album I'll definitely come back too soon.

I started with the new album this morning but quickly moved to Arcade Fire. I used to love Manchester Orchestra and I would recommend starting at the beginning. Debut album I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child is a thing of beauty (I Can Feel Your Pain, Where Have You Been, Sleeper 1972 and Colly Strings are stand out tracks) and the follow up Means Everything To Nothing is a great record too with arguably their most well known tune I Can Feel A Hot One. Since then I've not had the same feelings with the following two records. I'll give the new one a go at some point though.

New one is outstanding. They've really upped their game here, and I see from the reviews coming in that it's getting a lot off recognition. I've liked all their albums but thought they'd never quite hit the heights of their first one. This one, to me, definitely does. Not sure if it's gonna do much to make them more widely known but it really should.

Seeing every song title begin with 'The' really annoyed me and I know that is (probably) totally unreasonable. I'll give it a spin on the way back tonight anyway and hopefully I'll share your thoughts. Incidentally, one of the few bands who I have never seen live and would definitely like to. Probably only at one of their own gigs though.

Bumped this up my album backlog and listened last night and it's really good. Didn't quite get into her last two releases but this one is much more immediate.

Hope he's still strolling this plane by then. Looked worse off than usual last I saw of him. Sorta brought my anticipation for the album down but I'll be giving it a go this weekend.

I'm enjoying Manchester Orchestra this afternoon after an Arcade Fire morning. 

MO seems good but doesn't quite have the passion from the first few albums in my opinion. @kingcrawler it is definitely worth checking out the earlier stuff if you like what you heard today.

[ConorC]

No-one else feeling Foster The People's new record?

It's had a few mixed reviews, people saying it isn't enough like their earlier stuff? I prefer this new sound to their earlier stuff.

Another new Stars song. Album out in October.

 

 

[priest17]

That Cribs song gets better with every listen (and on my part that is A LOT). Shame some people still consider them part of the indie fart balloon of 10 years ago, one of the most consistent uk bands of this century. 

They're gonna headline 2020 (yes alongside The Fall, its gonna be great trust me)

[Amy Lawn]

Lykke Li casually dropping a cover of a song I could happily have lived my life without ever hearing again, but this is wonderful.
 

I wonder if it's an indication of new music soon, or possibly prompted by her mum's recent death.

[st dan]

Only a couple of listens in but I'm really enjoying the new Manchester Orchestra album.

They've definitely matured their sound with this, and Andy Hull's voice is as good as there is out there for me. 

[Brownie30]

Really happy to see so much love for Manchester Orchestra right now - the new record is brilliant. Big favourite is The Grocery, but the whole record is ace.

[dentalplan]

Sounds nothing like what they were playing when they opened the Pyramid.

[Tommy101]

Just seen that Manchester Orchestra are in the country in October. This has passed way under my radar. Looks like a well timed weekend trip to Brighton might be in order. 

[jyoung]

I gave the Manchester Orchestra record a go but sadly it didn't do it for me which is a shame as I love the first two albums.

Also, bit late too the party on this one but the Public Service Broadcasting record is excellent. Can see it in a few end of year lists and would be surprised if it doesn't feature in mine! What an album.

Yeah it's lush af innit? I'm enjoying it more and more with each listen. I reckon I'm going to go to that Deaf Inst gig, never seen her before, and I hear Katie Harkin is in the touring band. I don't know that Katie Harkin has ever been involved in anything that wasn't brilliant.

"A sister or some relation", bruv, are you not au fait with the Crutchfields' other project P.S. Eliot? Sort it.
(P.S Eliot isn't the support btw, just Alison on her own I think).

New album from The World is A Beautiful Place... coming in September. Judging by the single it is going to be more up beat than the 2 previous albums.

Anyway I'm not feeling this song that much, it's just ok. 

[Amy Lawn]

Listened to the new Chelsea Wolfe album, I think she has a demon inside her.
