Would also be remiss of me not to stick this up. Local Brighton dreampop type band Thyla have an EP out today - Everything at Once.

Love this track from it, posted this before but worth sticking up again for the EP release

, 

Love that. Just added the EP on Apple Music. Will check local listings for gigs.

I think I need to wake up a bit before giving this a go but looking forward to it.

 

If anyone is looking for a soundtrack to their first coffee of the day the new John Hopkins track is perfect

 

Have you checked the Olafur Arnalds / Ry X track that came out the other day Tommy?

They're playing tonight in Brighton pal, can't make it myself. Saw them supporting Magic Gang a while back, they're good live.

I just saw that. I can't make it either! Surprisingly gutted and I've only know them for 10 minutes. Looks like they are planning busy year according to the FB Event post though. Cracking find Quark!

Has anyone dared touch Green Day's new album yet?

Can't find a barge pole long enough

Lovely stuff.

 

I love that my Spotify release radar has Hopkins, Mefjus and Napalm Death on this morning. It's going to be a roller coaster.

Not sure I can bring myself to do it tbh.  

EDIT - My 10:30 meeting has been cancelled. Fuck it, I'm going in. Smoke me a kipper etc...

HMLTD's full debut album is every bit as bonkers as you'd hope it would be. Apparently their live shows are loads of fun. This has convinced me to find out for myself next weekend in Brum:

 

They're amazing fun live. I wasn't really convinced by the hype when To The Door came out but saw them by accident a few years ago and it completely won me over

[pryce]

Hmltd's album is the best album I have heard in a while... Love it so much I've just purchased the vinyl

On a related note, my mates worst clash of Glasto last year was Hopkins with Gojira

[Quark]

Soooo, Green Day. For those of you considering it, save yourselves.  Consider me your Steve Rogers people.

New Hayley Williams EP doing bits.

Im really enjoying the new Blossoms album. Really good indie pop album. 

It's ok for me.  Got some toe tappers on it but there's nothing here that's going to pull me back.

I really liked the sound on their EPs and the first album, but they've not recaptured it or have chosen to move in a slightly different direction. Can't quite put my finger on it, but going back to tracks like Charlemagne, Getaway, Blown Rose and I just don't get the same vibe.

Don't know if they've polished the production or whatever, but the tracks just don't have that same slightly melancholic note to them that I liked in that first album.

New Loathe album has a bit of everything. A fair bit more shoegaze than I was anticipating which I am very pleasantly surprised about.

Really enjoying the new track "Fake ID" from Spyres, a local band from Glasgow starting to do pretty well for themselves, pretty standard indie rock but really enjoyable.

First track from Pottery's debut album, "Texas Drums, Pt. I & II", is very strong also - their EP last year was brilliant.

Listened to the new Spanish Love Songs one. It's alright if you're into your emo-pop-yank-punk. Not pushing the boundaries or out, just some semi enjoyable moping against the machine.

New Shopping album was great, fun kinda jangly post-punk.

LOVE the new Sunflowers one. They've described it as "a conceptual sci-fi record about the end of the world, the rise of the machine, the feeling of doubt about one’s individuality and the acceptance of chaos" and it sounds fucking A. Its a bit less wannabe Oh Sees than their last one, although the influence is still clear, and it works in their favour. Great Psych garage album. Tied AOTD with...

New HMLTD one is actually better than I was expecting. Didn't know how I'd feel about all the old songs being on there but its like seeing old friends among the newer stuff, the whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable

La Roux was exactly what I expected, I quite enjoyed it enough though. Works with Manchester's current quite good weather.

I might give Clock Opera's a go later today, probably spend the afternoon with some of the above though.

You had me at "conceptual sci-fi record about the end of the world"

Saw Spanish Love Songs supporting the Menzingers last night having never heard of them and they were good to be fair, might give the album a go.

Great find! You Tube surfed to this..

Us older punters will recognise the influence/parody, it's even shot in 4:3

Excellent. Glad you enjoyed it! I'll keep then peeled for any more dates to come.

[priest17]

Done La Roux dirty only listening to it once, had it on all day today, banga after banga.

Not taking anything away from Elly but Dan Carey's incredible producing run continues.
