Efterklang is nice but a bit boring I think.

No one hammering Liam’s new one then?

This is pretty funny, especially the first couple of paragraphs:

#46

Listened to the new Sandy Alex G about a half dozen times already and its great.

#47

Uden Ansigt is pretty great but I have to say the rest of this Efterklang album isnt doing much for me

#48

Yes! It’s huge.

Giant Sand have released ‘Recounting the Ballads of the Thin Line Men’ a re-recording of their second album ‘Ballad of a Thin Line Man’. I enjoyed last year’s re-recording of their first album, and didn’t realise this was a longer term project.

Oh, and there’s a new Operator Music Band album, ‘Duo Duo’. For fans of Stereolab, I suppose.

Released today rather than yesterday but I just saw on pitchfork there’s a new Thurston Moore out. It’s experimental Thurston rather than songwriter Thurston so who knows if it’s any good but I’ll dive in later and see.

For me:

M83 “DSVII”
Juan MacLean “The Brighter the Light”
Floating Spectrum “A Point Between”
Nils Frahm “Encores 3”
Chihei Hatakeyama “Forgotten Hill”
Sma Vagor “4”
Alaskan Tapes “Views From Sixteen Stories”

I thought the last album was an enjoyable listen but this new Blink 182 is a confused mess. One properly good song, and that’s because it’s just an Alkaline Trio song ruined by the appearance of Mark Hoppus.

My review, in summary:

Also, all but one of the tracks has at least 1 and up to 4(!!) co-writing credits. There’s a 50-second song which apparently required 7 people to write. Nothing against collaboration in principle but coming from a pop punk band In their 40s it seems like a transparent, desperate attempt to stay relevant.
