I heard some of the new British Sea Power as I’m seeing them later today at Rough Trade East. It’s good enough. None of their stuff has been close to their debut but it’s a good listen.
Would be interesting to hear what you think of it. I love ‘Short Elevated Period’ but couldn’t get into much else.
Doesn’t Short Elevated Period represent the rest of the albums sound/direction then? I’ve not heard it, so I can’t comment. Thought last years Nocturnal Koreans was brilliant!
It’s more immediately anyway. But then I was kinda the same with Nocturnal Koreans - I liked the single off that but didn’t pay the whole LP much mind.
Freddie Gibbs - You Only Live Two Wice out today as well
have never been all that bothered about new Wire stuff but picked the new album for review and really liked it
Ah I see, well I suppose that’s a good sign for me. Shame you couldn’t get into though. Will let you know my thoughts after I give it a spin!
Goldfrapp - Silver Eye Mastodon - Emperor Of Sand Pharmakon - Contact
Body Count - Bloodlust
Aimee Mann’s new one is good
Team, can we sum up the releases we’re excited about with a rough genre at least? I hate to be that guy, but it would help me prioritise what to check out. Kind regards, AphexTwinkletoes
good point
Ok - Manuela is a sort of Spanish indie-pop, er, I’m no good at pigeon-holing. Her husband is Nick McCarthy from Franz Ferdinand and he plays on the record.
Lambert is like Nils Frahm. Or Nils Frahm if you believe the rumours.

Fredrick Tipton, better known by his stage name Freddie Gibbs, is an American rapper from Gary, Indiana.
There’s a place called Gary?
Yes.
Artwork’s a belter too.
Who wouldn’t love an album featuring Ice-T with guests from MegaDave, Max Cavalera, Him from Lamb of God and also a Slayer cover?
