Music in 2017

Mogwai is an odd one. On one hand they seem to be stuck in a bit of a rut and aren’t really pushing out in new directions. On the other hand nobody else does quietly Scottish melancholia quite so beautifully.

Other stuff I am hoping for in 2017 is a new Slowdive album (plus Ride and the Mary Chain both have new albums out). Jens Lekman, a possible new album from Motorama, the Toothless album, new stuff from Luxembourg Signal and loads more.

I also really really want to see Klangstof live in 2017 and can’t wait for King Creosote.

In that entire list, I reckon I recognise maybe a dozen artists, and only actively like 1 of them (Lorde)

30

That’s now somewhat out of date as there’s a lot more titles and names added now here:

A lot of names I am not even familiar with there, or are but don’t care for, including Lorde (despite the fact Mayer Hawthorne covered 1 of her songs)

31

couple more to add:

At the Drive-in - Inter Alia
Crystal Fairy - Crystal Fairy

could be a good year for me

32

Interesting - thought you’d already written off Pissed Jeans & new ATD-I?

33

Kind of but I’ll certainly be giving both proper listens at some point. Its more stuff ill be checking out this year than stuff i think is good.

I’m feeling so embarrassed that she’s from my country and I still haven’t heard her, while I’m hearing great things about her from people in the UK. Time to rectify that :slight_smile:

Also grabbed Grandaddy and Sleaford Mods so this week should be good, and really looking forward to the new Magnetic Fields next week.

Pumarosa, Clark, Soulwax, Forest swords, Phoenix, Mogwai

Would be good to get new stuff from Portishead, Aphex Twin, Orbital, The KLF or Boards of Canada

Mogwai is pencilled in for Autumn 2017, apparently.
