Well, that new Jim James record is just gorgeous isnāt it.
Not a challenging listen by any means, but an utterly lovely accompaniment to a lazy sunday morning.
There are some heavy Sparklehorse vibes on that new Hovvdy album. Great stuff.
Polachek and clipping. are 2 clear AOTY contenders for me.
By vibes do you mean plagiarism? That song ātellmelāmasingerā is pretty much āits a wonderful lifeā even has the exact same opening words and intonationā¦could be a conscious nod (cant not be i guessā¦)
(It is, we asked them about it in our interview)
Iāve seen a bunch of 4-star reviews for this but, yeah, Iām not really enjoying it at all. Is it just me or does his voice sound a bit off too?
It seems Iām the only one here who enjoys it
Cathedral is absolutely buried into my head at the moment, just humming it constantly
Really like this MM single, the southern gothic thing really suits him imo. To me it sounds like the lighter end of The Seer/To Be Kind-era Swans broken down into bite size chunks.
Itās a Johnny Cash cover. (But you might know that)
I had no idea! Cheers
I am partial to a bit of JC but by no means a hardcore fan. Iāll check that version out too.
Itās actually an old folk song, been recorded many times before the Johnny Cash version - as Run On by Moby for example.
Any fans of this Hurtling album āFuture From Hereā? Donāt think itās been mentioned in this thread. Band members have also played in MBV, Graham Coxon and Charlotte Hatherlyās bands amongst others so the guitar sounds on this are fantastic. Great songs too. Bit shoe-gazey, early 90ās US rock etcā¦
Need an appropriate dog walking soundtrack tomorrow, and Iāve read strong reviewsā¦
Iāll report back with my impressions.
Very much enjoyed this, always forget how strong his albums are, because he doesnāt do anything āgroundbreakingā. Has a really nice atmosphere

The second part of this Foals album is really quite goodā¦ did not imagine Iād be liking one Foals albums this year let alone two (ish)
The Jemma Freemanā¦ album is so so good. Thanks for the tip! Getting more and more from it with each listen. In the words of Sum 41 - all killer, no filler
for AOTY purposes, I see the 2 releases as 1 album.
Friendship ended with band who use the same promotional tactics as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
Lol tho
