Those are great. Love the guitar on Hotel and Hermitage as well

I like this live album from the JBTR tour as well

New LP from shoegaze/dream pop artist Lauren Lakis:

there was a Tim’s Twitter Listening Party for the Yorkston album last night and i’ve learned that Peter from Peter Bjorn and John is one of the Second Hand Orchestra musicians on it. unexpected crossover.

Two tracks in, and I quite like this.

Not seen this mentioned but there’s this new EP from Kessler out that I’m digging.

I’d never heard of him before but I think people who like djrum’s stuff will like this.

Bit of Skee Mask in there as well…

Bicep were on Radio 1 with Annie Mac for an extended chat (second hour of this show) the other day.

They were talking about how they’d ended up aiming the album at headphone listening, but they have various different remixes and versions of all the tracks. On their next live stream they’re planning to play ‘the techno versions’.

They also did a mix for Mixmag

This is amazing on first listen, which is now becoming my second listen :smiley:

Just read the Pitchfork review of this, which is essentially “this album is great but the vocals are too repetitive for a pandemic scenario so we’re forced to dock a full point from the score”.

In fairness I was worried that my streaming service had malfunction about halfway through Big Band Want

Really really liked the Neverosa record, just non stop goodness from start to finish

Too repetitive for a pandemic? Reviewer sounds a bit desperate to sound topical?

Yes, that particular song touches the realms of “irritating”.

Such a good week. Could easily make a top five from this week’s releases alone. Have had a fair few plays of Typhoon, James Yorkston, Still Corners, Biosphere, CARM, TRZTN, and a couple of others.

(Hopefully they’ll all be below The Notwist’s new album tomorrow though!)
