What have we got today? For me so far…
Violet Mist - Prophecy 2096
New Disintegration State release, synthwave with a wicked lead single so I’m excited for this one
AJ Tracey - Flu Game
London Grime artist, am a fan on the singles so will check this one out
New Conway The Machine album is top of my list today.
New Andy Stott (more muted desolate beatage)
and The Armed (hardcore noise pop?) albums for me today.
Andy Stott is the big one for me. Will also check out:
SVE’s epic gets a reissue, with a disc of cover versions
Jon Hopkins EP
Trying out some Mexican indie pop rock to start the day. It’s good! Kind of a Strokes/Phoenix sound
Moody alt-pop from Oxford
Hooky pop-rock - fairly straight forward but lots of earworms. Backed by Charli XCX I think
London grammar have a new one
And son lux
Very excited for The Armed
Sufjan follows last week’s Meditations with some Lamentations
Motorpsycho!
Misty Coast - When I Fall From The Sky
Spaced-out indie from Norway. Sounds nice.
Spencer Krug - Fading Graffiti
From the chap who was probably on half of the Canadian Music League songs.
Francois Bruet - Flux FluO De La Foule
Think this was last week, but don’t remember it being mentioned. French sounds.
And then Sufjan and Son Lux for me (Son Lux also have Kadhja Bonet on of the songs, so looking forward to checking that out).
Mellow jazzy electronic music
Norwegian Krautrock instrumental 8-piece
Rock music dude
Strong Sufjan vibes
Skate punk
Strong Beach House vibes
Two main ones for me today. The long awaited second album from post metal band Crown
and the new one from Canadian black metal band Spectral Wound, it’s a bit early for such ferocity as yet, I’ll stick this on when I’m a bit more awake!
It’s bad throwback metal day!
Offspring and poundland Zepplin rip offs Greta Van Fleet have albums out. Can’t wait to hear what Offspring sound like in the year 2021. I bet it’s a lot like 1992.
Howie Lee - Birdy Island
From China, the soundtrack to an imaginary theme park full of birds and spirits. This is the one today.
New solo album from Wand frontman Cory Hanson
April is turning into a new music wasteland for me. Might try out The Armed.
Last night, seeing they have a new album coming, I watched some Greta Van Fleet videos for the first time. I guess every generation gets The Darkness it deserves, and in this case, irony free…
Looking forward to giving this a spin
To answer my own question.
Yes Offspring sound exactly like they used too. In fact they may have been the same songs. With the exception of a Love cats rip off called “we never have sex anymore” which is as bad as you’d imagine with that title.
