I think you should. Don’t really like Weyes Blood as well. She is far too dramatic for me.
So that’s my album of the year sorted then
Only out for a day!
Pretty great, right? And 6.8 from Pitchfork which is a score my AOTYs usually get there
This Jimi Somewhere album sounds fun - perhaps for fans of the 1975?
Yep, really great
Glad someone else thinks so! It’s very special.
this is very very beautiful
Tbh, they could have released a stinker and I’d have loved it. But they haven’t, they’ve released and absolutely beautiful record. It’s so lovely to have them around
Year of the Horse!!
Hayley Williams doesn’t sound like Folklore
Sounds like the last Hayley record with more acoustic instruments
Weird - had something like eight albums to listen to last week and zero this week. Some good new singles out this week from Stereolab, Pictish Trail, Hooveriii, Randolph’ Leap, Mush, Palehound and Booka Shade.
The Decemberists have a live performance of The Hazards of Love
Enjoying it so far. Lovely record. Folklore (Evermore) sounds so bland and artifical (musically and lyrically) to me.
seems a lot for a digital album… I love fucked up but 4 tracks at 15 bucks… maybe wait to see what everyone thinks of it first!
Hayley Williams and Black Country, New Road for me - an obvious twofer for the day.
really brilliant slice of oddball French/Swiss indie on Bongo Joe (great label)
i have a code for this if anyone wants to try before they buy
BCNR and TV Priest for me. Not sure im gonna like TV Priest but will give it a go
Presume the Foos album will be boring, but may give it a spin at some point
There’s a new collaboration EP out from Your Old Droog and The God Fahim.
Gave it a listen on my walk to work and whilst the latter is a bit weak, Droog is typically on very good form.
This one’s actually been out a week but it’s maybe the best rap record I’ve heard so far this year. Think it classes as a full album, it’s just short a short one (as is the style at the time).
