Not really hearing it. Have another crack at it.  This is pure Jim.

I can't believe this sh*t. 

Did it not give you 'Nick Helm doing his rock star schtick' vibes. If they manage to pull off walking this line, fair play to them. 

[Gnomicide]

Bafflingly, to me at least, I've gone back in and am hooked by the second track, but I think for all the wrong reasons. My verdict: Grisly but gripping.

Has anyone seen them live? Do they manage to pull this ludicrousness off?

[Gejonimo]

Seen them live a few times, always put on a show and sound tremendous. Every member is very good at what they do. They are very aware of what they are and lean into it heavily. Charisma for days.

They did a special show last year and the lead singer was "killed" and had his head cut off (dummy head) before announcing they were signing to a new label and dropped a new single along with a sort of brand refresh. I think they're fantastic, I think even if it ain't up your alley it's easy to appreciate the effort and artistry that has sort of gone away in the past couple of decades.

New IDLES album confirmed for release on 16th Feb. First couple of months next year are shaping up to be big!

[Avalon_Fields]

New Brittany Howard, sounds interesting, she's touring the US in November.

[hoils]

Loving the Mary Wallopers record. Obviously very red Roses For Me-influenced but also the Dubs and the Clancy's. It's great, rollicking stuff from start to finish.

Loving the new underworld song full version

 

[Gnomicide]

New Red Rum Club. Love it, sounds more like something from the 1st album rather than the last 2.

That mad orchestral-vocal-part-build-up is AWESOME.

So f**king good, yep.

Really given me the itch to see them live again. Last time was West Holts, 2016, I think? Magnificent.

For some reason I found that performance a bit underwhelming.

Really? loved it, but wasn't sure I was going to go to it till quite late on, pretty spontaneous, so had no expectations. And it had probably been 6 or 7 years since I'd seen them before that. Much like listening to that new song today, I'd forgotten how good they can be.

Just found it a bit "lightweight", more Pet Shop Boys than Underworld.

Not that I have a problem with PSB.

f**king love Jockstrap. Great remix, great video

X-Press 2 released a new album last week. Sounds decent, 1st album in 10 years

[polnico]

Was looking forward to this day of releases, and so far it has not disappointed. Sampha's new album is excellent, and Parcels new Live Volume is also good, much more up tempo than last one. On too Lost Girls (Jenny Hval side project) and then Bombay Bicycle Club now.

[DarthSaul]

Just finished the Bombay Bicycle Club record, pretty good. Sampha next for me, then Barry Can't Swim, then Blink 182. Good day !

October is shaping up to be one of the best months of the year for new releases.

[The Nal]

Neighbours all listening to The Stones this morning. Loudly. Whether they like it or not. 

[jannybruck]

Stunning new Forest Swords album out today, very Massive Attack/Nine Inch Nails/Burial: euphoric industrial-tinged electronica from Liverpool

Not sure when in 2023 it was released but I listened to the Young Fathers album lastnight. Bloody hell it's a bit good! Only really listened to a handful of their tracks in the past. Massively into this latest record.

It's definitely in the top 3 albums of the year for me. Live they're even better.

Really?? First thing I said to my mate who I sent it to was I hope they can replicate that complex sound live. I will 100% be keeping an eye out for them. Any thoughts on a GF appearance?
