He's bringing it back here. Thought some of his 2018 stuff was sketchy but this is promising for the album.

Was dropping by to post this. Not so bad but not really feeling it.

 

Yeah that AJ track has got me looking forward to the record for sure.

I quite like the new Streets track but it does feel like there is something missing? Just sounds a bit incomplete compared to some of the old stuff, that said, Skinner hasn't exactly been in his prime for a while so not totally unexpected. Will still be there if they headline the Other Stage. A 'best of' set would be one of the highlights of the weekend for me, I reckon.

I liked the stuff Skinner was releasing as Brighter The Shadow... and this seems in keeping with that, can't imagine it going down great in any of the slots The Streets are being touted to play.

I think Weezer just muck around making random records, and are quite happy to go on tour doing greatest hits sets year after year. Can't say I really have a problem with it - at least they aren't as adamant about their new material as Muse.

New single just dropped. Album due in Feb and tour in March. Wouldn't mind this on the farm!

Yeah this is a good track, saw him a couple of years ago and he was good fun so wouldn't mind him on the farm.

I think White and EWBAITE helped appease fans quite a bit - nobody's really hoping they can get back to their creative peak anymore but we know they can put out decent rock albums if they want. Also, as you say, now that they've started touring regularly again they can harness a lot of positive feelings from that.

Yeahhhh .. Oxnard is certainly a grower isn’t it?!

Yep. Had this on rotation all morning, gets better each time. It's not Malibu but it's a very solid album. Definite King Kenny vibes.

Happy Christmas everyone!!

 

Enjoying Pearl & The Oysters newie

It's a month old, but i'm very much digging the latest Will Oldham album

[Amy Lawn]

I'm on my third listen to Oxnard rn, I don't know why people seemed disappointed by it, sounds like some top quality shit to me.

tbf we definitely need a new Daughter album next year 

We’re sort of getting one this week! Elena Tonra has a solo album coming out on Friday and based on the first song it’s unsurprisingly pretty similar to Daughter, not that that’s a bad thing.

 

[Hutchmaster]

New The 1975 album is doing the rounds on the usual places. On first listen, s'alright. Hasn't caught me as much on first listen like their previous effort, but reckon it's a grower.

[priest17]

Missed this a couple of weeks ago, standard wierdo castleface post-punk art-rock affair, love it. Apologies if already posted.

 

[Odessa]

Probably would belong better in 2019 New Music, but Cage The Elephant have put a status up an hour ago that their new album is all ready to go, so I'm excited to hear that. I was obsessed with them for a bit after their last one came out. Hopefully a single is released soon. Always brilliant live too; their gig at the Ritz a couple of years ago especially was unbelievable.

[kalifire]

Black Thought's 'Streams of Thought Vol. 2' is possibly the hip-hop AOTY. Salaam Remi's production is just perfect for BT's flow.

 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Lead singer of Daughter, Elena Tonra, has a solo album dropping Friday. First single below, sounds promising;

Quite enjoying the new Good/Bad/Queen album.

liking the Crack Cloud album. Definitely one that fans of The Fall, DUDS, Omni etc should check out.

Haha, this is the first time I've seen a 'hmm, it's ok' opinion about this.

Elsewhere, it's either been '10/10, this generation's OK Computer' (ludicrous), or from people like me, for whom Matt Healey's voice is like nails on a blackboard.

On it, cheers.

 

Discovered Pardans today, latest album came out in October and it's brilliant. Danish Jazz/Punk, how can you go wrong? (that's rhetorical, please don't shit on my music taste ahah)

I'm also on the "it's okay" team.

interesting, there's aspects of this that I really like but overall think it's a bit much for me. Does remind me of DUDS a fair bit though which is never a bad thing

That's one of the more out there tracks I think but it's probably the one that grabbed my attention the most (there's probably something in that).

I picked up DUDS' (or D.U.D.S' should I say) latest album in picadilly records the other week but I'm never about at home to get it out. Saw them earlier in the year and they were amazing, need to sort out my White Hotel ticket for next weekend.

nice, i'll check the rest out!

Yeah its a proper good record, think I may still prefer the first one currently though. Caught both their sets at End of The Road and they were definitely one of highlights. Got my ticket for Brighton next week, the support band (Squid) seem to be garnering lots of interest so should be a good night.

From what I've heard the first one was tighter, like I say I've not had long to get to grips with this one though. Ah sweet, In Manchester they've got Housewives, Proteus, Basic Switches vs Empress Maude and Ste Spandex supporting and I don't have time to look into all of them so if you know any of them and recommend let me know ahah. Doors are at 10pm so gonna be a weird one.
