No idea who this is but I hope it’s called Mulcahy Mark-in

Isn’t this a British forum? Shouldn’t someone be mentioning new British album releases by Theme Park, Clean Cut Kid, The Rifles (unplugged album), and obviously Kasabian and Slowdive?

You’re absolutely right, just the ten mentions of Slowdive so far in this are a ruddy bloody disgrace.

It would appear that Animal Collective have a new EP out today. It’s under singles on Spotify. I’ll listen to it later and report back.

The last album was proper wank.

I’ll level with you, I’ve never listened to The Afghan Whigs, primarily because I’m generally not a fan of toupee related music, however I’m really liking this new album. I could well now have a frustrating clash with a sold out Bon Iver audience at Primavera. is it representative of their previous music?

Loving the new Forest Swords and Nite Jewel ones. Tasty.

Not blown away by perfume genius which is sad and his last one was a straight up classic for me

Their last album To Do The Beast is similar with some blinding songs (Parked Outside, The Lottery, It Kills and Can Rova). Their flat out classic is Gentlemen, which you’ll find a lot written about online. I have a real soft spot for Black Love, which sort of reverses the theme of Gentlemen so the narrator is more victim than culprit. It’s a soul-noir fusion of ace. Also for a more atmospheric version of this sound try the singer’s side project, Twilight Singers, specifically Blackberry Belle.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that my album of the year will have been released today.

Kasabian are untouchable

Indeed, quite a bit mellower. I really love it though. Every release of his is genuine and lovely!

I opened this thread tonight to find this advertisement at the top. Any idea why? @Twinkletoes @mroc @lastdino

Black Love is the greatest album made. No, really it is.

And I’m really liking the new one so far. I bought that and the new Forest Swords today, but I’ve gone four full listens on the Whigs so far and I’m not taking it off the turntable anytime soon. Sorry, Mr Swords.
