I’m on a night shift and managed to download and listen to a few tracks from:
Angel Oslen
Julie’s Haircut
Carla Dal Forno and
Kacy and Clayton.
Like the bigger, grander sound of Angel Olsen. Looking forward to repeated listens of it. Her best album for me at the moment is still Burn Your Fire… with Windows her best track. It’s always stunning when she plays it live.
Kacy and Clayton is fun straightforward folk pop.
Julie’s Haircut are a psychedelic band. A sound slightly similar to that of early Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. Worth a skim listen for some people maybe.
Carla Dal Forno’s album sound very good. Listening to it on earphones as I type this. It’s easy soothing listen. Sounds more accessible to me than some of her other stuff which I couldn’t quite get into. Really liking the new one.
I will also be listening to an hour and seven minutes of Boris. If I’m honest I usually prefer the idea of Boris to actually listening to their records but I hope this one is a winner.
I’m all about DIIV today. I’ve had their singles on heavy rotation (“rinsing” is what I believe you kids call it). Seems a step up from their previous output.
will be interested to hear your thoughts on new Avett Brothers, their last couple of release have completely passed me by but I was a big fan of ‘I and Love and You’
In addtion to what folk have mentioned I also have
The Menzingers - Hello Excile: Excellently executed pop-punk, FFO PUP Boduf Songs - Abyss Versions: Dark, gloomy, atmospheric singersongwriter with a background in black metal. FFO Chelsea Wolfe/Marissa Nadler/Leonard Cohen
I think these guys are my favourite band. They released s lovely instrumental album earlier this year, but are back with vocals this time. So relaxed and dreamy. Sounds good so far!
Will also check our San Fermin and Boduf Songs mentioned above, as I I liked previous albums of theirs.
Amazing day with Angel Olsen and Nick Cave releases. I’m only going to listen the Nick Cave album once so it’s still fresh when I get the vinyl (hate these split releases).
When you remember this week also saw releases by The Comet is Coming, Chromatics and Young MA it is truly incredible.
