New Corgan album is weird, perfectly adequate slice of Americana, just doesn’t have his stamp on it, find it a little jarring, like he is just singing over someone else’s songs or something
Corg Anal Bum Party?
Sure thing I’ll bring the limited edition Teargarden by Kaleidyscope obelisk
New one on Disintegration State by The Gibraltarians! Eclectic electronica.
Maija Sofia and Girl Ray for me.
New soccer mommy single
New Richard Fearless album and new double A-side from local boys Weimar for me.
New Ours tune “Wounds of Love”
The Leonard Cohen album is wonderful. The opening track alone makes it a worthwhile addition to the catalog.
Lack of melodies too, considering the unreleased stuff in the same ilk like my life and times, think you know, wasting time thst all have strong vocal melodies to carry the songs
This new Billy Corgs album sounds like he just found out that James Iha played on a Whiskeytown record and thought ‘I’m having some of that…’
Coldplay are going to have a reappraisal in the same way Fleetwood Mac got to be cool after their peak. So much class stuff in their back catalogue
The main single (the one that sounds like all the other singles from their last couple of albums) is a massive outlier, isn’t it? I’ve listened through a couple of time now and, while it doesn’t all hit the mark, it’s their best album in over a decade for me.
New Bronsoliño
There’s a new Braids single, but it’s a little bit musical theatre or something.
I enjoyed it, there’s nothing close to Earl Grey (which I thought was incredible) on their debut but it was decent enough except maybe the track with the guest rapper.
Southampton band A Formal Horse have unleashed their debut album today. Soundwise: proggy, with riffs a-plenty and lovely, soaring, folky vocals. Bloody good stuff!
One for the Ambient etc crowd. Been really liking this today:
Not an artist I’ve been aware of before - was drawn in by the inspiration for the music (Polish filmmaker Kieslowski).
Just stuck this on, 3 tracks in, and it’s definitely far more interesting than anything they’ve been punting for the last 10+ years
Yeah this is a lovely record
