Stankonia is 20 tomorrow and a deluxe edition is out (with completely inessential bonus tracks, but I’ll still be listening to the album anyway).
Holy fuck this is great
Holy shit everyone there’s a new War On Women lp out! Their last one was superb so high hopes here - super charged feminist punk anthems
New Dua Lipa / Angele banger
I love Jasmine Guffond.
Microphone Permission from earlier in the year is excellent if you haven’t checked it out.
Ahh new Andrew Bird, lovely. Just about the ideal music to soundtrack a work day
@paulo13 check out Armchair Apocrypha if you haven’t already, by far and away his best album imho opinion
New Common - 9 songs and about 30 mins long, loving this trend for short rap albums lately
The new NOTHING album sounded like a big return to form when I listened in the early hours of the morning. The last had some tunes but was so powerlessly produced that it made little impact on me.
I’m starting here today on the strength of the band name alone
Ooh, I used to be a bit of a Jim White fan for a few of his albums (Static On The Radio is such a great song), but then drifted off from him. This album sounds nice enough so far!
Mr Bungle, Common and a new Magik Markers album… didn’t even know they were still making music
Will give this a go. Seems to have found his lane of fairly unadventurous dad rap in recent years though. Listened to Electric Circus a lot over the summer, and that’s really aged better, and sounds more current than anything he’s doing now.
Going to be rinsing SUUNS today, I can feel it.
OPN, Bungle, Sun Ra Arkestra for me today
Thou/Emma Ruth Rundle is the main event today. Expecting huge things from that.
Not quite ready for that yet though. The Jermainesoul ep is sounding excellent in the meantime - really exciting to hear stuff from folks I don’t know on Disintegration State. Though a bit intimidating how good they are…
Excited by the new OPN album as well. Will probably also give the Mr Bungle album a listen too but I’m not expecting much. Would much prefer some gonzo new stuff than a trip down memory lane from when they weren’t all that interesting.
My first thoughts on the Eels album after a listen late last night were not positive. But, a few duffers aside, it’s actually pretty solid. No better or worse than his other late period releases.
The only other one I have lined up is Sinai Vessel. I gave the pre-release tracks a listen after the review in the latest GFP. Sounds promising.
Busy day for me, which is unexpected.
Mr. Bungle is great, if too long on first listen. Just a fantastic thrash album, Dave and Scott are a great addition.
Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou.
Brilliant on first listen, such a great blend of metal tinged Americana and filthy sludge.
Nothing for indie shoegaze
Puscifer, (One of) Maynard from Tool’s other bands. Usually worth a listen.
Fort Romeau for some synth dance music (I hope, it might be ambient, I have’t checked yet)
Ba’al Blackened post metal
That should be enough to keep me going.
Damn. Maybe next week.
came out last week but yeh interesting
