Really looking forward to hearing this. I wonder if it’s gonna be as polarising as Humbug or if they’ve gotten so big now that people will eat anything they release up. I anticipate a lot of initial bemoaning if it’s as piano based and riff-less as has been suggested.

I think it will be as polarising but possibly on an even bigger scale, considering how many more people got into the band after AM (especially globally). From the limited amount we know, it sounds like it couldn't be further from AM (album) and I think most (casual music fans, not us music-obsessives) will be expecting something similar and are going to have quite the surprise. Personally though, I can't wait and I'm optimistic they'll pull it off.

Give the new Confidence Man album a listen. Really good stuff. 

You're surely not referring to the Helen Daniels Helen Love?

[Simpo]

 

Real Lies are back, and they've gone all Underworld. The words are predictably brilliant. Glorious.

[Odessa]

Was excited for Unknown Mortal Orchestra's new album, then I didn't really like it, now I reckon it's their best. Really good stuff.

Got round to Confidence Man's before and man you lot weren't lying. Tune after tune. 

[Amy Lawn]

Been bugging me for ages what the groove from Boyfriend (Repeat) sounds like; now I know it's Baby Do You Wanna Bump.

Been a big week for these sorts of realisations, it's also dawned on me that Pills by St Vincent is well similar to the Pingu theme tune.

This thread is like fifty threads in one.

Good.

Struggling to stick with the UMO one, I really like them but I'm struggling to talk myself into putting the album on. Been through it maybe 3 times since release and I've been kinda waiting for it to finish each time, doesn't help it was released around the same time as the incredibly relistenable efforts from Hinds and Confidence Man.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with Confidence Man on repeat. Surprisingly for a band that seems to pride itself on not being serious, it's a very well engineered album. Every sound is clear and very well defined.

And it doesn't matter than a few of the tracks are blatent Screamadelica ripoffs, when they're done with such love a d energy. When Primal Scream themselves revisited those sounds recently, they sounded knackered in comparison.

It's the C.O.O.L album of the year!

Bound to play next year aren't they? New band's tend to tour like crazy for a few years getting themselves established. Hope to see them in JPT in the afternoon in 2019!

Mentioning the actual Glastonbury festival

That track about the party of the year by the Bouncer's Dream M (of Pop Muzik Fame) is the worst thing I've ever heard.

You mustn't have been listening to all the "really good" shitty guitar music on this thread over the last few weeks.

Park Stage mate. All of eFests waving their wellies, except @CaledonianGonzo grumbling and waving a plastic kookaburra.

I'm fairly torn. It does sound pretty good putting them in the "Australian baggy influenced indie-dance" slot like Jagwar Ma in 2016 and... Jagwar Ma in 2014.

Talking of which, when the hell are Cut Copy going to play??

All about their 1am secret set in the Crows Nest 

[FloorFiller]

Can imagine it's gonna be pretty divisive with fans of their older stuff, but Iceage's new album is sounding great on first listen. A lot more bright and even poppy than their previous stuff but it's ticking all the boxes for me. Think this leaked a while back (like 2 months prior to it's release) but had totally forgotten about it until now.

[EighteenSixty7]

Nas album 15th June according to Kanye. I'll believe it when I have a pre-order in but blimey.

[Odessa]

This was released a few hours ago. If you're into Hypnotize/Mesmerize by SOAD then it's worth a go as he doesn't seem to have evolved at all over 13 years...

Stone bop

[Mash011]

Just throwing my hat into the ring to say that I, too, enjoy the music of Australian baggy influenced indie-dance band "Confidence Man" and will hopefully be catching them at All Points East next month.

[Badlands]

I know they’re not to be taken seriously, but the lyrics set me right on edge from that Confidence Man album. Not for me!

 

[FloorFiller]

Janelle Monae album out there. Been chomping at the bit for this one. Sounding good so far.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Is that actually Brian Wilson on it?

[Winslow Leach]

Is her album really called Dirty Computer, and didn't Adam Buxton already call one of his Song Wars entries that?
