I’ve never been a massive fan of Fleet Foxes, even though they should tick all my musical taste boxes. Always find that I lose interest about halfway through an album. The new didn’t even grab me from the off here. Just nothing to make it stand out. Will give it another go.

Ride is good, Kevin Morby is nice (not as good as Singing Saw). Outside of stuff that has already been mentioned, I’ve also got Jason Isbell, Com Truise, Ruby Suns (this might have been last week), Goldie and Moby all queued up.

took ages for them to click for me, the second album finally got me when i persisted with it as i was due to work at one of their gigs (also helped by 6music hammering it at the time).

haven’t kept up with the singles from the new one but the first single sounded promising

There’s a new Com Truise? Wondrous!

Palm’s “Shadow Expert” EP and Hidden Orchestra’s “Dawn Chorus” are out too.

new Ride album was much better than I thought it would be.

New Ekoplekz record is predictably excellent

Single Mothers are back with another helping of their brash swaggery post hardcore. There are even a couple of slightly more poppy numbers on it, that worked really well on first listen

I’m a sucker for most things Daryl Palumbo so the debut from Color Film will be getting a number of pumps on my stereo too. it will probably go down as someone else jumping on the New Wave revival bandwagon, but I’m not averse to bandwagonery.

The new Kevin Morby and Fleet Foxes really helped ease me into the working day. Also gave Beth Ditto’s solo album a go; it’s loaded with indie disco bangers!

Intend to listen to:
Jason Isbell - meant to be more along the lines of Drive-By Truckers than the last two
Hundredth - Melodic hardcore goes shoegazey
Rancid - It’s Rancid I guess.

MIDWIFE
(can’t get enough of the preview tracks on this.
bandcamp desc.: “transcendental drone-pop… fist-in-the-air anthems… distorted power chords, powerful leads, sheets of drone”)

Jefre-Cantu Ledesma
(v. disappointing… he’s lost the personality of his previous records. this is just some generic dreamy shoegaze)

There’s a new album from Rise Against today, too. Not really a very DiS band, I guess.

#17

And The AV Club slated it (mind you, their music coverage is rarely the best)

yeah that new Jefre was a huge letdown. His last album was a bit of a mixed bag but this was basically a generic shoegaze album saved only by having some quirky production.

Enjoyed the new Kevin Morby LP this morning. As mentioned, a bit more sedate than previous, but still lots of fun

Was at a wedding yesterday but this is on my to-do list. Love his brand of fuzzy IDM
