Thought you were asking who I was talking about, was about to say “but you just suggested them 5 minutes ago!” :sweat_smile:

Enjoying Throwing Muses for a more rambunctious Saturday afternoon, after a mellow-ish laid back Michael Rother morning :slight_smile:. Thanks @scagden

Heh you’re welcome. I enjoyed listening to it on the way in to work yesterday. I think that KH has settled into a ‘raspy, grungy’ kind of sound for Throwing Muses and while I do think she does it well, I also kind of miss the old more ‘angular’ TM sound as well.

I found the album pretty laid back myself

Digging this great new Neneh Cherry remix EP that got put on Bandcamp.

Forest Swords’ one sounds like some kind of industrial/Nico Jaar/depressed saxophone rave, and the Whattodo one sounds a bit like early Four Tet.

Liking LZNDRF despite their aversion to vowels.

Naked Roommate sounded good but needs another listen or two to be sure.

Sophie Hunger still my favourite so far. In particular the big casio moments can’t help but raise a smile, but there’s more to it than that.

Going to try Throwing Muses. Listened to some of their stuff in the past and find it always ‘quite good’ but a little hard to get excited by. I seem to remember Kristen Hersh’s last solo album being surprisingly good though so you never know.

Also will give Lomelda a bash, no idea what to expect there.

#67

Oh, and although it was mentioned in another thread, there’s the new Hurts album too if you’re into that sort of thing. (Not me particularly but I live with someone who is very excited about this.)

#68

Listened to the first couple of songs on the Throwing Muses album. It’s all perfectly fine, but does just sound like all their stuff. I wouldn’t object to listening to it all, but feel there are far more interesting things to be hearing at the moment, so think I’ll give it a miss.

Undecided about Lomelda. Keep thinking it’s a bit boring and am about to turn it off, but then there’s a little moment that makes me doubt myself so will have to give it another listen.

#69

I never got round to it yesterday but glad to hear it’s good. :+1:

#70

Human Condition by Street Nights. It’s a solo album from one of the Jicks (drummer, I think) and has Malkmus on guitar on some songs.

#71

Debut EP by UK post black metal band Corps Fleur released today. FFO Deafheaven, MOL and Oathbreaker

#72

New EP by The Ophelias (missed it when it came out a few weeks back, so will stick it in here). Been a big fan of their albums and this is lovely too - jangly indie with some excellent violin, sometimes moody, sometimes sweet and soaring

The Saint Saviour album is very good; the songs that make up the album are from several differing genres. Makes for an excellent listen.

Was going to talk about this actually, because it’s a really fantastic track and people should listen to it

I’ve only been sticking to albums and EPs in these polls - partly because I’m a bit lazy but also just feels like a clear delineation in my head. Would people want singles in there as well?

  • Yes
  • No
  • Not bothered
