New Morabeza Tobacco album, handily called… Morabeza Tobacco, released yesterday

Hazy, chilled out, lo-fi indie pop.

You don’t do lo-fi indie rock in Dobly!

Madonnatron album is shockingly good. Making me question whether i gave their first album a fair shake (i didn’t like it at the time) cos this sounds like a massive leap forwar. ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ is one of the songs of the year, stunning vocals and the album is everything the fat whites album promised but didn’t deliver on.

Hayden Thorpe’s newie sounds great on first listen too.

Most releases on Double Double Whammy are gold. Worth checking the rest of the label out if you like this

It’s excellent, no doubt. Tad more diverse than the debut, which is also a bit rawer. But, yeah, if you’re digging the latest, then definitely give the first another go.

My one complaint about Elizabeth Taylor (always have to have a complaint) is that it feels out of place coming so late in the album. Would like it to come somewhere more around the middle before the tone of the album has been fully established.

Depends what you like. If it’s similar to The Glow, then Hovvdy, Lvl Up (which you probably know) and Yowler. But I’d also recommend Cende, Florist, Free Cake For Every Creature, Gabby’s World, Hatchie, Lomelda and Told Slant

And I haven’t put in stuff like Bellows, GABI, Gemma, Sean Henry or Quarterbacks. And then there’s old releases by Radiator Hospital, Frankie Cosmos, Mitski, Great Grandpa or Krill.

You might have a point there. It definitely feels like it should be the centrepiece of the album.

The new Cate Le Bon album is terrific

Have totally failed to find any injury reserve chat, any fans?

Love the track with Freddie Gibbs (because Freddie Gibbs is aces). I think the rest of the album suffers a bit in comparison.

I also loved the track with the silver mount zion sample worked throughout! Was not expecting that!

It’s working for me, lots of good hooks and I like the slightly wonky vibe throughout

The beats/production are superb throughout. The rhymes/MCing doesn’t always quite match that standard I think. The guest verses tend to be the best bits. It is growing on me though.

Hayden Thorpe album is great isn’t it? Makes me want to sit in a dark room on my own and drink red wine.
