You’ll need to wait to find out - it’s not released til 5 AprilI can’t even imagine how shit the Libertines must be in 2024
Gave it a go earlier. Not as immediate as the debut but still enjoyed it.Frontman of Ulrika Spacek released his second album today. Quite fun and jangly on first listen.
Yes, this is one of the better threads on the SMB. @Arkle has pointed me in the right direction on more than one occasion. Obviously helps that with Spotify etc you can dip straight in and I’m giving Credit Electric a listen based on Arkle’s “woozy country” descriptionI’ve made myself a pledge this year to listen to a new album every week (or at least by the end of the year have the equivalent so some weeks I listen to two…)
I use Arkle’s reviews as a guide and any others that are highly recommended by all on this thread. It’s genuinely the best source of new music for me and I’ve even shared it with my work colleagues who appreciate the recommendations.
Thanks. It's a great session (especially the songs with strings) that makes me want to revisit Little Rope.Looks like there's a Sleater-Kinney EP out today, comprising sessions from the recent album, with accompanying mini documentaries for each track on YouTube

Review Mr Ben & The Bens, Beige Banquet, Horsebeach and the Fourth Wall pleaseA quiet week so I'm getting stuck into The Waterboys' 1985 after listening to the new stuff as follows:
Boeckner: unsurprisingly, sounds a bit like Wolf Parade. Pretty good.
Starless: very good, orchestrated songs with guest vocalists.
Four Tet: exceptionally good. You kind of know what you're getting but it still surprises.
Kacey Musgraves: a decent enough album, very good in parts. She's clearly looking toward the Swift market.
Charles Lloyd: the jazz veteran is 86 and still making excellent records. This is an hour and a half long but powers on by.
The Dandy Warhols: pretty good fun. Again, you kind of know what you're getting
The Black Crowes: it's good that they're back. This is a terrific album of Stonesy southern rock.
Sam Lee: orchestrated folk. This is exceptionally good. High quality right through.
Pete Astor: the ex-Loft and Weather Prophets man keeps chugging along. This has some old songs re-recorded on it. Decent.
Album of the week: Sam Lee but The Black Crowes, Charles Lloyd and Four Tet all excellent also.
Review Mr Ben & The Bens, Beige Banquet, Horsebeach and the Fourth Wall please
ExcellentI'll see if I get a chance. Should have picked up on Mr Ben & the Bens anyway really. As mentioned, I'm working through 6 hours plus of This Is The Sea era Waterboys at the moment.
