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?
Reviews for the new Wire album below, is the Tall Ships one any good? Also you can check the ticker from the sub below, it’ll show you other British rock releases for March & April in case you missed one…I’m waitinig for that Cast and Big Moon album:
here’s a song about it
@richie I listened to Silver / Lead twice over the weekend and didn’t particularly get on with it either. It was all a bit one note with nothing really jumping out at me.
Ah well, I feel better for dismissing it now! Still a shame.
Yeah definitely a shame! Especially given that there has already been some really enjoyable albums from other bands (The Feelies, Half Japanese, The Bats and JAMC) of that era released this year.
