What did you think, Tom?

I came the party late, but heard an interview on 6Music. And they're getting a lot of airplay on there. Loving it. 

I think I'll be at The Park for their set . Not sure about those music videos mind

this is just fucking great

This thread's worth a bump. How are the explorations going? Thanks to this thread / the Spotify playlist, Loyle Carner, Anderson Paak. and Parcels are all new ones on me which I'll be trying to catch.

In the spirit if not the letter of the original post, there are quite a few acts whom I would have thought a bit past it, but who's new (ish) material is actually pretty solid - Justice, Soulwax and the Avalanches spring to mind. And given all the Moderation love, I'll have to listen to III again - didn't grab me first time around, but loved the first two albums.

I saw parcels supporting Two Door Cinema Club, not my kind of music, but they are really good live!!!

Mode-Rat I believe. 

Saw them live twice and they were awesome, such a massive sound. Saw two of them as Modeselektor as well at WHP. 

I don't know how The National have passed me by, they're cracking!

Parcels have been my favourite discovery of the Silver Hayes line up so far

[RossTC]

Joe Goddard, was made aware of him as he played the thekla a couple weeks back. I couldnt attend the gig which really annoyed me then i noticed him on the poster, happy days!

[Beerqueen]

Another vote for the National.  They're the only one that's jumped out at me so far, but it's early days yet.

They sound like a cross between Daft Punk's last album and Jungle (band, not genre). Which isn't a bad thing.

Likewise on the Moderat front - started giving them a listen after seeing people bring them up a fair bit and now I wish I hadn't as they're ace/their live show looks ace and I'm almost definitely gonna end up missing them. Curse you fantastic lineup!

not to kill the vibe but I've found them rather dull every time (3) I've seen them

It's Mo-de-rat although the original German pronunciation might be impossible to replicate for you guys

His new album is ace, lasers is a bomb.. Must see for me! 

[Quark]

Only TBC but Papaphone and October Drift are both rapidly approaching must see status for me

[Dave_c]

The XX, Future islands and the flaming lips. Heard of them all before but never paid much attention to them.

[Purple aki squat]

Been listening to the lemon twigs album, track 4 got a hot sunny afternoon park sound written all over it. 

[mjsell]

I've pronounced them as Mod-er-rat. And that's how I'm sticking. 

Anderson Paak continually astonishes me every time I listen to Malibu again

I think you are getting 'past it' mixed up with 'peaking'. They only had two albums before Woman came out last year. They must be way over the hill now the third has come out

Pretty sure you're right . It's Modeselektor vs Apparat and I've always pronounced the latter App-a-rat. Really looking forward to seeing them so a little bit deflated that some say they're dull live.

I stand corrected. It felt like there was a huge gap between albums 2 and 3, but now I look at it, I suppose 5 years isn't that bad these days. 

And definitely Mod-er-rat, preferably with a heavy German accent.

Today's listening: Joe Goddard. Big Hot Chip fan (a 2015 highlight for me) so I like my odds.

Joe Goddard's album won't disappoint - fingers crossed for a secret set at The Crows Nest!!

Anderson Paak has become my no.1 must see. No doubt he will clash with others though.

[TiZuff]

Moderat are unbelievably good. Never heard of them and their live show looks superb (but i feel like it needs to be at night / in the john peel tent?). Hopefully they do a set at night somewhere.

[cammie81]

Moderat and cinematic orchestra. Only tried 6 bands but those 2 are musts now.

[sloseph]

I'm utterly obsessed with Future Islands, one of my mates put me onto their Jools performance and not i can't stop listening to them, I really hope they get a nice sunny afternoon slot
