2021 New Music

[Copperface]

Pete Greenwood & The Dark Stars (Leeds based) has released this little album Radio Slow that initially flew under my radar.

Not groundbreaking, just a nice set of tunes.

Came for Karen O, stayed for the stunning use of her voice

After that celebrity version last year I didn’t think I’d ever want to hear this song again, but this is pretty damn good:

Found the Bicep album a bit meh in all honesty. Enjoyed a few of the newer ones (x and fir), but it’s not really any progression of their sound imo.

Pom Poko album gets a thumbs up from me on first listen. Cheers for those who recommended it on here.

New Logic1000 EP that came out last week goes harder than the new Bicep imo. Isles had great tracks but was a bit patchy compared to their debut

I love this. Billy Nomates was one of my discoveries of last year and great to see she is still creating wonderful stuff in lockdown as looking at her Twitter the other week I was getting a bit worried about her.

Morning all, I know individuals who use this forum may not be in the mood for new music today but my band ‘A Cause In Distress’ have a new single out today called ‘Modern Commerce’.

 

Link here, let me know your thoughts (if u have any) - http://smarturl.it/Modern-Commerce

Yup, like that again. Glad you flagged it, despite following you last year after the Lumbering track Deezer decided not to let me know this new one was out! More good stuff 🙂

And any day is a good day for new music. If anything we need it even more now.

I know this isn't the coolest thing to do, but I've been active on this forum a bit since securing Glasto tickets in 2019... I put out a music video yesterday and I'm trying my best during this covid shit to keep things going. I hope someone on here finds some enjoyment in this! All the best from Canada.

 

Nothing wrong with a bit of self-promotion! Like this, chorus reminds me a bit of Two Door Cinema Club (that's a good thing btw 😄 ).

I've tried a few times with Billy Nomates but she just doesn't click with me at all, don't get the fuss.

[mcshed]

Is anyone keeping up with Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Bill Callahan's series of weird collaborative covers? They are all worth a listen but few of them hold enough interest to keep going back to. On paper Oldham and Callahan doing Billie Eilish should be remarkable but I haven't relistened to that since it came out. The latest offering however, a reworking of the old Palace track Arise, Therefore is fucking excellent, it's dark, it's groovy. I love it.

Already got the vinyl on pre-order. Looking forward to this one. You can never have too much Staves in your life.

I pre-ordered the Billy Nomates ep on blue vinyl and ordered the Beach Bunny one as well. So much for no more spending until February!!

That's fine not everything is for everyone. There's a fair few artists that people rave about that I just don't get. We can't all love everything.

Haha, so little willpower when it comes to vinyl! 😄

Especially if it's coloured vinyl!! I'm a sucker for it!! I have 7 on order with Norman Records, 4 with Piccadilly Records, 4 with Record Store.co.uk, 4 with Sister Ray and 2 direct from artists. 

I clearly need to be able to leave my house!!

Obsessed with this. What a huge sound

New Still Corners album The Last Exit out tomorrow.

Enjoyed the new Still Corners album more than I thought I would. Sometimes they can get a bit samey and sound like a lot of other similar shit out there so the western twang they’ve added to their sound on some of this album was welcome.

Completely unfamiliar with these guys until now. Really like the sound, will explore their back catalogue a bit. Liking this a lot.

I was really excited when the series started - what a pairing - but I've found most of them thoroughly uninteresting. Agree this one is good though.

'The Trip' is a minor classic: 

 

[priest17]

have you ever wondered what an old Mark E Smith collaborator trying to make a song sound like Oasis and Blur at the same time would sound like?

yeah been following coz of the collaborations (mainly Ty and Cory) but nothing really connected, you're right though this is ace.

Please can I have a new Horrors album.

well the keyboardist is providing, Tom Furse released an album on Friday. Bit soundscapey for me but has interesting enough turns to get me through it.

Also Faris is doing a series of collaborations - let's hope it's better than the Callahan/Oldham one eh
