Big one today for me:
Please inform me of other things to fill my ears with.

The new Trail of the Dead is out.
Heard a few tracks of Interpol just now. Not too impressed.
I’ll check out Superorganism also.
A relatively small British indie band called Breakup Haircut who I’ve seen a couple of times live have their debut out today. Really looking forward to that. Their gigs reminded me of 90s female fronted fun indie rock.
Loads of stuff I’m interested out today. Interpol and black midi obviously, but also these…
Kode9 - Escapology
New one from the Hyperdub top dog. His last solo album and the ones he did with the late, great Spaceape are some of my favourites, so been hyped about this for a long time.
DoomCannon - Renaissance
Debut album on Brownswood. Gilles Peterson approved jazz? I’m in.
Katalyst - JID013
Latest release from Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad’s Jazz Is Dead series. You know what you’re getting at this point. This is the most modern artist they’ve worked with on this series, so intrigued to see what it’s like.
LIZZO! LIZZO! LIZZO!
New Interpol top of today’s list
Closely followed by Working Men’s Club
& then some hip-hop
Pye Corner Audio – Let’s Emerge!
He drops the beats for this one, creating shoegaze ambient with, surprisingly, Ride & Oasis guitarist Andy Bell.
Lizzo – Special
Akusmi – Fleeting Future
French-born composer & multi-instrumentalist and producer Pascal Bideau – music originally inspired by a journey to Indonesia
The Cat’s Miaow - Songs '94-'98
Overdue collection of hits from cult Aussie jangle-pop band. FFO The Pastels, Black Tambourine, The Vaselines.
Covered in first two posts: looking forward to black midi and Trail of Dead.
The Armed - ULTRAPOP: Live At The Masonic
Hardcore weirdo industrial pop collective’s soundtrack to their live film which came out last year. The movie was the Stop Making Sense of hardcore so expecting this to be incredibly well produced and loads of fun.
FFO: comparisons to Talking Heads which set an unrealistic expectation for the musical content, bands with hundreds of members who aren’t Slipknot, bands who work out before they play shows and share their routines for getting absolutely pumped
God is an Astronaut - The begining of the end - live. Post rock
Inidan Wells - no one really listens to oscillators. Mid tempo, moody, electronica
FFO Lake Haze
Kink - hyper epic. Techno
Bit o Black Midi for me thanks
Lizzo and Interpol to start with I think.
Looks like this snuck out beabadoobee - Beatopia
Another in the sweetly sung 90s indie revival, though seems less fuzzy than previous releases
Second album from the death metal revivalists. Singles have been great. Rapid tempo shifts, gratuitous use of twin bass pedals, guitar solos that sound like faulty police sirens, you know the drill:
New Vladislav Delay for all the glitch-heads. First track is a monster.
Nice folky stuff (Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath & Daughter of Swords’ Alexandra Sauser-Monnig)
For fans of lenker solo
Like a more produced Taylor I guess
Ben Shemie (of SUUNS) and the Molinari String Quartet
Sounds good!
Nightlands (Dave Hartley of The War On Drugs)
Launder - Happening
Post punky side of Shoegaze, signed to Ghostly, have been impressed with pre releases and looking forward to hearing the rest - FFO Diiv etc
