Makes me want to paint my bike Yellow.

Highly recommend Its Hard To Find A Friend by Pedro the Lion at the very least.

Huge fan of Deerhunter and Sharon Van Etten, really like James Blake too but there’s definitely some lulls overall.

Tried Twilight Sad but it’s not clicking for me, will try it again as I want to like it.

My buddy put out an ep last week, ffo Mazzy Star, Slowdive etc. I play lead guitar on track 2 (jag?)

The James Blake is a bit patchy on first listen- some bland bits. The track with Travis Scott is great though.

Listened to it on repeat whilst cleaning my flat earlier. Yep. It’s a great album.

Shite

Profoundly disappointed by it. I like a couple of songs but it all seems under written. Not nearly as good as their first 2 albums :frowning:

Yup exactly, worryingly it apparently it came from 60 tracks and hours of jamming so yeah

The Sharon Van Etten and Deerhunter both sound very enjoyable after 2-3 listens each.

Really wish bands would stop putting cack like Détournement on albums though.

Sharon Van Etten is excellent. Seventeen is the Stevie Nicks power-ballad i didnt know I needed in 2019…such a tune

6 years since their last. Buke and Gase dropped “Scholars” on Friday.

And it’s shite!

Cheers - it’s good, but is it blasphemy to say I think I prefer the latest offering (which I’m still absolutely loving)

Not at all mate. As long as you’re enjoying it that’s the main thing. It just happens t be my (and bazans) fave.
If you love the new one probably try his self titled stuff working back from Blanco.

Really enjoying this Malibu Ken album. Good recommendation.

Yeah, know what you mean…although Hold Time from the mid-period is my favourite - perhaps a controversial pick

Just having a listen to Aukai - Reminiscence which is sounding like some very nice instrumental stuff so far. It has the Agnes Obel’s cellist playing on it also, so that’s another plus for me.
