Yeah, enjoyed that Du Blonde/Ezra Furman track. Also, until now I hadn't heard the one from last year with Shirley Manson, that's great too.

New Julien Baker track with the other two from boygenius on backing vocals:

Oh my. I was absolutely sure that we'd seen the last of DFA after the criminal underappreciation of their BEST album Outrage is Now.

This one's a corker too. Channelling late-era Strokes in that bit in the middle. So hyped.

What's with the name though? I thought they'd got rid of the affix. Has James Murphy decided he was being too kind and taken his ball back?

Yeah I’m not sure. I believe they said they’d keep the ‘1979’ on all of their social media/online presence etc (presumably because it’s easier to search/find) but seems like they might’ve just gone back to it altogether here.

I suppose they had the ‘1979’ far longer than they were ever without it so seemed kind of dumb and pointless to me that they’d drop it now anyway.

Good point. I guess that's what they realised when it comes to branding and merch and all that. Alex G wlll be thinking the same in a year or two.

Although I spotted it in the Album of the Month thread I'll keep the chat in here; @lessthanwill1 - this Radio Supernova album is a cracker 👍

Ahh cool! Glad you are enjoying it! I think it’s fantastic. 

[fightoffyour]

Can’t take credit for this but I think more people need to hear it

Only just got around to listening to the new Serpentwithfeet single. Really like it! New album out March 26.

This single was co-written and produced by Sampha. You can definitely feel his influence in this song. It feels a lot more upbeat that a lot of his previous tracks and has more of a typical song structure. It has Serpent’s beautifully ethereal vocals but over a typical Sampha “beat” which works well. More radio friendly but not in a bad way.

Art pop / alternative r&b

Tomorrow is stacked

[Avalon_Fields]

Hello, does anyone have a pre-order link for Celeste tickets by chance??

[Quark]

Afraid not AF, can't help you there.

More Brighton-based new music goodness, this time from Kudu Blue.  Spotify reckons for fans of Tourist and Maribou State

Indigo Sparke has released her third single from her upcoming debut album, which is out on 19 Feb.

The album (and singles) are co-produced by Adrienne Lenker. Indigo’s songs bear a resemblance to Adrienne’s solo work. I’d say she has a less unique voice than Adrienne but it’s great nonetheless.

Foos and Staves are the only ones on my list, which normally means I'll find about 5 others that I'd forgotten about or wasn't aware of 😄

The ones you’ve mentioned + Hayley Williams, The Weather Station, TV Priest and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets for me, plus the rest I’ve forgotten about or was unaware of. Good day!

TV Priest might be worth a listen, although if I remember the singles from last year it's very similar to Fontaines DC in a lot of ways. Can't get in to Hayley Williams' solo stuff. Will give the other two a couple of tracks and see what comes up.

Simultaneously the best and worst band name I’ve ever heard.
