Been excited for this but it’s quite polished compared to their debut and I’m not sure I like. I can hear what they’re saying FFS!!!?
Leisure Hour - …and to think
Midwest emo out of Indiana. Second record. They’ve been dripping this record for a while and Jenny is a good song.

Not a new release per se - but a newly remastered version of their 1994 album.
FFO of two bassist, disco influenced, post-hardcore, sleaze.

Laura Cannell - The Medieval Drone Society
It’s been nearly two months since Laura Cannell’s last album came out so about time we got a new one (though tbf she’s also had a couple of compilations of older stuff released since December’s Brightly Shone The Moon came out so she’s not been slacking). This new album takes “13th century monophony as a starting point for improvisation and drone” using cello and bass recorder.

New Cordovas is exciting to see opening the thread!
Marta Del Grandi - Dream Life
Enjoying this one from Italian singer-songwriter. Nice review on the Quietus:
In the great indie pop tradition, Dream Life masks melancholia with whimsy, whether it’s fantasy land synths, syncopated programmed beats, or slide guitar. The dreamy, brooding, and vaguely foreboding synth arrangement of ‘20 Days of Summer’ touches broadly on a feeling of not being able to laugh at the chaos, as Del Grandi reminds herself “to keep going / try to breathe”.
Even her more minimal compositions have a warmth to them, and Del Grandi’s breezy soprano fluctuates easily between elation and heartbreak.

My missus will probably like this for the opposite reason
I did! Cheers, will give this a go when I get to work.
Relatively big release day for me.
First up is new Yumi Zouma, very infectious 80s style indierock/synthpop, by way of London and NZ. Last record was a true banger and so are some of the lead singles from this, Bashville on the Sugar and Blister especially are real earworms.
Yumi Zouma - No Love Lost to Kindness
Then we got the new Softcult record, again liking the lead singles have slapped especially Pill to Swallow. Beautiful, ethereal, melancholic waves. Music for mall goths indeed.
Softcult - When A Flower Doesn’t Grow
Ye Vagabonds got a new one too, traditional Irish folk with dual male harmonies dragged into the 21st century with tales of drugs, crime and depression. Danny really tore me up this week so giving the whole record a good go.
Ye Vagabonds - All Tied Together
