blutarsky Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) On this day in 1967 the Beatles recorded A Day In The Life, in 1972 David Bowie launched the Ziggy Stardust tour, in 1973 Elton Joh n had his first no 1 album, in 1997 Blur released Blur, in 2004 Diana Ross was sentenced to two days in prison for drink driving and in 2022 @blutarskydecided to launch the eFests album of the month for February 2022 competition. Last month I'd not listened to many albums and used the thread for recommendations and crammed in some last minute listening. Others said the same. This month lets get ahead of that and use the thread for discussion throughout the month. Voting window for your top 3 opens on February 25th and closes on March 4th.

zahidf Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Black Country new road seems very likely to be up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyn Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I mean, Black Country, New Road have just released the greatest album of the decade, which kind of makes it the best album of the year, and therefore the best album of February 2022. I'm also excited for caroline's debut coming out February 25th, loved each of the singles so far. The new Animal Collective album has been pretty good as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 After a fairly slow January, this has the potential to be an incredibly strong month. My top three from last week is already stronger than my January one and that’s before we’ve even got to the likes of Beach House, Big Thief, Metronomy, Gang of Youths, Caroline etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutarsky Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 New Florence and The Machine was out last Friday. Currently listening - very on brand but so far missing the 2-3 bangers it would need to make it worth repeat listening. It's missing a Dog Days are Over, Kiss With A Fist, Ship To Wreck etc joyous sing-a-long belter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punksnotdead Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Stacked month for me after a barren January - apart from the magnificent BCNR last week, I have new Frank Turner, Big Thief and Sea Power to look forward to. Oof, it's gonna be an expensive month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but she had another one out the week before - which has now disappeared - with all the songs themed around water (this one you've been listening to seems to have some sort of 'haunted' vibe). All very curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blutarsky Posted February 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Despite my best intentions, I still didn’t listen to many albums. Cue 3-4 days of listening to everything people suggest in here. F+M single dropped on Friday I think @Graphic Design Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punksnotdead Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 My top 3 for the month is one of the easiest decisions ever for me, although the order is not so easy. It seems ridiculous to say so early in the year, but these three could easily be my top 3 albums at the end of the year: 1. BCNR - Ants from up there 2. Sea Power - Everything was forever 3. Frank Turner - FTHC Unlucky Shovels & Rope and Big Thief, any other month you'd have been in the top 3 - incredible month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyfairy! Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Frank Turner - FTHC and going to get Gang of Youths on vinyl this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Three great albums here, good month all round. 1, Korn - Requiem 2, Yard Act- The Overlord 3, Zeal and Ardor- Zeal and Ardor Spent all month listening to these so I haven’t even started to listen to Rolo Tomassi yet.

benali Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 1. Rat Heart Ensemble - A Blues 2. Huerco S - Plonk 3. Raum - Daughter So much good electronic music right now. An exceptional month really. Outside of these the caroline is my favourite although I only listened to it for the first time today and it may have made the top 3 with more listens.

SpencerF Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Black Country, New Road by far imo. 'The Place Where He Inserted The Blade' might be one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDAD Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 1. Black Country, New Road 2. Big Thief 3. Sasami Also really enjoyed Nordic Giants, Beach House, Holodrum, Animal Collective and Mitski ...all of them would have made top 3 in most other months.
