The theme of today’s opening post is ‘things you would have also said in 2001.’
Hey guys, there’s a new Poison The Well album out that I’m really looking forward to listening to!
Poison The Well - Peace In Place
Early 00s hardcore FFO: Poison The Well
There’s also a new Mclusky EP!
mclusky - I Sure Am Getting Sick Of This Bowling Alley
Spiky noisy alt rock
House of All - Inklings
Martin Bramah’s post-Fall troupe featuring ex-Fall members, sounding not unlike the Fall.
FFO The Fall
Not 2001, but certainly 2006!
Look a new Band of Horses record! (Not new, but a 20th anniversary version)
Band of Horses - Everything All The Time (20th anniv ed)
Gladie - No Need to be Lonely
3rd record from the project led by ex-Cayetana songwriter Augusta Koch. Punchy power pop/indie rock, produced by Jeff Rosenstock, with a powerful and scrappy sound. FFO Jeff Rosenstock, Courntnry Barnett and bands like Pup maybe
Special Friend - Clipping
Indie pop from French/American band. This is their second record. I really enjoyed the last record from back in 2023. FFO of 90s slacker rock and lo-fi indie pop.
Egregore - It Echos In The Wild
Dense and somewhat impenetrable death/black type noise, out of Vancouver.
Avalon Emerson - Written into Changes
Hopefully more dream pop bangers
Gyða Valtýsdóttir – Mother Pearl
The singer and cellist from múm, with a new solo album of beautifully orchestrated strings, delicate vocals, and some occasional banger electronics.
Xylitol - Blumenfantasie
Jungle, ambient, electronica. The debut was superb, looking forward to this.
Exodus - Goliath
Album #13 from thrash metal heroes. Probably fast with incredibly unsubtle lyrics.
Girl Scout - Brink
Debut album from Swedish trio
Ladytron - Paradises
Its Ladytron, you know what you’re getting by this point.
Gaerea - Loss
Album number five from the Portugese post black metal band
Midway through this, it’s sounding like she’s knocked out the park again
Lovely new folky album from Joshua Burnside . Fans of Sam Amidon ect
If it’s anywhere near as good as the last one it’ll be challenging album of the year for me.
Really wish I could get to see her on this upcoming tour
Songlink not working for me - apologies for Spotify.
Masahiro Takahashi - In Another
Toronto-based Japanese composer. His ‘Humid Sun’ from a few years ago was a sleeper hit for me. Expect warm, slight jazzy, abstract electronics.
Green-House - Hinterland
Ambient/electronic duo with a focus on nature, and the interactions between humans and the natural world.
Wil Bolton - Barbican
Electronics and field recordings inspired by London’s Barbican estate.
Loving the new Poison the Well on first listen!They’ve still got it.
Hurray for the Riff Raff - Live Forever
Live album recorded at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago
underscores - U
Follow-up to 2023’s Wallsocket from April Harper Grey. Pop, hyperpop, R&B and EDM, enjoying this so far, especially Bodyfeeling. On Mom + Pop.
