Kind of relieved there’s not too much out today so i can keep on catching up with last year!
Doom Flower is nice. Good start to the year
Last few releases have been crackin, thanks for the heads up
Cicada- Seeking the Sources of Streams (modern classical)
Earth- Even Hell Has Its Heroes OST (dark drone)
Esperanza Spalding, Fred Hersch- Alive At The Village Vanguard (piano jazz)
Well any suggestions I had were delayed so I’m going to borrow some of the ones from Bandcamp’s suggestions that I liked:-
Perfect Angel at Heaven - EP - Alt Rock
A bit Strokes, a bit Suede, a bit Smiths; in my head all guitar led music sounds like this so its nice hearing it from my speakers instead.
Beer Breakfast Dungeness Crab - S/T - LP - Punk Rock
“Ripping leads, non-stop riff’s, fuzzed out tube amps, and irreverent lyrics make BBDC a truly one of a kind band.” Not sure how unique they are but they are alright, fun rock.
Wreckage - Our Time
Heavy 80s influenced metal . 7 tracks in 10mins, so an EP I suppose. Fun
Came out on 1/1/23, but I’m chucking it in here
fuck sake, he couldn’t wait to get started eh
Nicole Dollanganger - Married In Mount Airy
This is quite nice, with lovely dreamy ethereally vocals.
Gumshoes - Dreadnought, Dreadnought
Bedroom indie pop, I liked, but maybe a whole album is a bit too much for me. FFO nasal singers like Destroyer/Darren Hayman/Mountain Goats
Listened to both of these back to back as they both sounded like my jam and I’ve enjoyed them both, probably enjoyed Wreckage a bit more but chiefly I felt like they were both displaying a lot of what makes me keep coming back to Offspring’s classic album ‘Smash’. Lovely ![]()
It’s good though, so that’s nice.
yeah, think it’s my fav of his since Metatron’s Cube from last Jan
Jade Cicada - Pressure Gamut
Sort of glitchy electro trip hop. Came out on New Year’s Day.
Allan Epley - Everything
Chicago singer-songwriter debut album. Epley formerly from the bands Shiner and The Life and Times in the 90s and early 2000s. Kind of 70s-esque fuzzy ballads, I wanna say soft rock but without the pejorative connotations of that.
Gumshoes - Dreadnought, Dreadnought
Folky indie pop from Birmingham (UK). “An album about a great big sea monster that’s coming to get you.”
Oooh nice, didn’t know Epley had solo stuff in the works. I love love loooove Shiner.
Shiner are yet another gap in my musical knowledge. I’m having a listen now and enjoying their stuff.
I see @paulo13 already posted the Gumshoes one, sorry for the repetition. Concur with your review - I made it about halfway through then I was ready to move on.
The Magnet EP and the Swervedriver reissue were joint top with two votes each last week. A few others with one vote each.
