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, isnāt it? Iāve listened through a couple of time now and, while it doesnāt all hit the mark, itās their best album in over a decade for me.
New BronsoliƱo
Thereās a new Braids single, but itās a little bit musical theatre or something.
I enjoyed it, thereās 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 Iāve been aware of before - was drawn in by the inspiration for the music (Polish filmmaker Kieslowski).
Just stuck this on, 3 tracks in, and itās definitely far more interesting than anything theyāve been punting for the last 10+ years
Yeah this is a lovely record
Richard Fearless - FFO Daniel Avery. That Acid Angels track is a banger.
I picked up the 3cd + DVD + art prints + book Chemical Brothers / Surrender box set. Itās a beautiful thing, and the cd you get with this edition that you donāt get with the 2cd version is fantastic too. 21 minutes of Out of Control. Let Forever Be without nearly so much Noel Gallagher on it.
Aye itās a cracker, heās in a rich vein of form tbf. His outputs been a bit up and down over the years but he seems to be developing a bit of consistency now, stripping things right back has worked well for him.
