Already mentioned albums I’m excited about: The Comet is Coming, Matmos, Benoît Pioulard & Elizabeth Colour Wheel. Gonna give those other two ambient/modern comp releases @neilyoung mentioned a go as well because he’s a man of fine taste. Also Seahawks because I haven’t heard any good new psych rock in a while.
There’s also some nasty doom epics from Body Void out today, and this beautiful little oddity from Lasso, who makes sort of soulful, hip-hop slanted psychedelic IDM. It’s real nice.
Never heard The Comet is Coming before, this album is sounding great. I keep repeating this song though, sounds like a jazzy stoner metal song to me. Good stuff.
New Gentleman Jesse & His Friends is out today.
For those who don’t know them: Atlanta power pop at its best.
Same scene that originated The Black Lips, Barreracudas, etc etc.
One not mentioned ( i think) is the new one from Nanami Ozone. I guess best described as emo/indie although a little shoe gaze and psych brit pop in the mix, touches of smiths and the cure too. Signed to the always excellent Tiny Engines. I’m only one listen in but liking it so far
