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.

There’s a place called Gary?

Jeremys_Iron · 2017-03-31T14:28:55.223Z

Yes.

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?

@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.

richie · 2017-04-03T09:19:03.386Z

Ah well, I feel better for dismissing it now! Still a shame.

WizardLizard · 2017-04-03T09:59:04.099Z

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.

zanimos · 2017-04-03T10:20:01.988Z

I think the Julia Holter live album is out now - looking forward to that.

richie · 2017-04-03T10:54:11.629Z

Yep, really liked The Bats and Half Japanese. Thought the new JAMC one was a bit Mary Chain by numbers…but that’s not a terrible thing.

here’s mine (JAG)

The Thin Air – 3 Apr 17

Wire – Silver/Lead

Wire have always been a band more interested in looking forward than back. On returning from their first hiatus in 1985 they famously hired a Wire covers band, The Ex Lion Tamers, as their support act so they could be freed up to focus exclusively on...

Yeah pretty much this, I wasn’t really expecting them to reinvent the wheel. It’s just fine and probably won’t get listened to very often. Much more likely to revisit Silver/Lead in a couple of months, to see if I’ve had a change of heart…

If you enjoyed The Bats release, maybe give The Feelies latest a try (that is if you haven’t already) - here’s one of the albums highlights:

richie · 2017-04-04T07:58:13.243Z

Had a quick listen, not bad
