  4. The Besnard Lakes
  5. Buck Meek

Need more time with Besnard Lakes but very promising on first listens and they always take time to grow on me.

Other standouts are Albertine Sarges, Leafing, The Notwist, Teen Creeps

I’m currently listening to the Yu Su album based on this post, and I love it!

The LICE album is absolutely brilliant. Clearly indebted to post-punk but very ambitious with it, feels like they’re really trying to take it somewhere new, not just some 1980 throwback. Echoes of the birthday party, the fall, killing joke etc but also mezzanine era massive attack.

Also enjoying Sleaford Mods (their best since ‘Key Markets’ imo) and Still Corners.

No worries, great record.

It’s really cool. She’s great, her ‘Roll With The Punches’ EP a few years ago (2019?) was really great too. Went for this on the strength of that.

Im surprised it didn’t do better tbh. I think Girl Band are an obvious comparison and they are really popular on here.

Surprised not to see Goat Girl dent the top ten at all - though that would be super DiS compliant. Would recommend folk check that out…

scored just 13 points and put them joint 16th.

Decided to check LICE out because of EVI’s description, Turned it off because the singer sounds like your man from Girl Band :smiley:

I guess the main issue with that album is that it’s not particularly good.

That comparison hadn’t crossed my mind but now you’ve said it I see what you mean. Could never get into Girl Band though.

I can only guess not many have heard LICE on Dis? Like you said i think lots on here would like it.
