Am I breaking protocol in kicking this off tonight? Sorry but it’s payday tomorrow.
Looking forward to Courtney Barnett, parquet courts and Stephen malkmus’…
Buuuut these are all artists I already like and they’re not really the stuff I’ve been rinsing lately like giraffes? Giraffes! And Jon Hopkins and so on. Anything a bit more thrilling and/or leftfield due out tomorrow?
You beat me to it Haha, was just reading through tomorrow’s releases and thinking should I start the thread…so for me it’s going to be new Ryley Walker (super chilled indie americana, strong retro feel…based on his debut , haven’t heard any of the new one) . There’s also an album our from wintersleeps frontman which could be interesting
Yeah Kurt vile and maybe Kevin morby would be good reference points, maybe with a bit of Neil young thrown in. He’s also a great guitar player too if that floats your boat. This is off his debut Ryley Walker - The Roundabout (Official Video) - YouTube . Also should have said wintersleep guys new project is called postdata
Just realised I’ve been referring to 'Golden sings that have been sung ’ as his debut which clearly it isn’t. Was just the one that got me into him and probably remains my favourite. I’d say I’m a bigger fan of morby too, and tend to go back to his records more often
Parquet Courts is the big one for me. Based on the description and positive things I’m hearing, I’m thinking / hoping it’ll break into my top three for the year.
Also looking forward to Wussy. I discovered them a couple years ago through their most recent album but have forgotten to go back through their back catalog. I accidentally heard the end of the new single on KEXP awhile back and remember really liking what I heard, so hopefully this will be a good one.
I haven’t heard anything off of the Courtney Barnett one yet but I liked her previous album, especially the main single and the two long songs. I’m hoping she moves more in that direction.
I figure I’ll give the Stephen Malkmus one a shot in order to determine precisely the factor by which Ogilala is superior.
what a release day! Barnett, Malkmus and Walker are on the list, but also wanna check out:
