Jay89 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 The Big Moon played this song (and more from new album) at Glastonbury, out today. Weird without the guitars, but very enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest17 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I missed that B Boys new album had been released. It's good, Parquet Courts-lite kinda stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Also this is great, good to have them back (evern if they're just down to 2 now). Xenia Rubinos featuring on a track will surely sound ace as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When faced with infinite choice and no guidance, you end up reverting to the familiar. Would also recommend subscribing to some of the playlists on BBC Sounds. 6Music playlist and 6Music Recommends are both pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they tend not to feature any acts pre 1970 but the review sections are still good for discovering new music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, podcasts don't really appeal tbh, I'd rather just stick an album on usually. This one is worth a listen tho is it? And yeah, the first single was comfortably better, but I don't mind it. I liked Head Carrier a lot (far more than the rest of the world seemed to) so I still have faith that they can put out a solid record.

Basically a fly on the wall of the studio where you can listen into the recording process for this album and some casual interviews too. The band seems really chilled now, and Paz is brilliant, Not sure Head Carrier was as derided as Indie Cindy but I imagine it was forgotten about quicker. There are some quality tracks on there but some just infuriatingly pedestrian. My feeling is that it will be largely the same fare here, but as long as there are a few rippers in there like Baal's Back, Bel Esprit and the song Head Carrier, it's positive for me. They're never gonna release another Doolittle or Surfer Rosa or the high watermark of rock in 2019 but as long as we're getting an album with glimpses of an exceptional songwriter at work then let's do it.

priest17 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 That new Slipknot album slaps. Should change their name to Slapknot. Except it does. So Slapdoes. Good album anyway, will tide me over nicely till Big Music Day™ next Friday Where I reckon 3 of the top 10 albums of the year will be unleashed upon us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 PP Arnold's new album out this morning. Got a soft spot for this kind of sound, parents used to play a lot of this kind of late 60s soul. I absolutely love this already. Handy dandy pre-listen sample of all album tracks. Just glorious.

Not exactly breaking much new musical ground but a great mix of everything that’s come before. Proud to call myself a maggot for another few years at least.
