Things I have mostly listened to:
The Deslondes - a hanger on from a week or three back. Ex-members of Hurray for the Riffraff doing sort of old time rock and roll with a bit of New Orleans thrown in.
@Mick Dundee might like this.
The Dears - it's another Dears album, it sounds like The Dears, it's very good, get over it!
Sheer Mag - patchy! There's some good songs but I'm not sure about the production. They want to be indier than Jandek and more pop than Little Mix at the same time.
Waxahatchee - I think this is the best yet from young Katie Crutchfield. Still indie rock but gels together as an album very well.
Offa Rex - ticks all of the Arklebuds! Basically, an exceptional folk rock album. Best thing by far that The Decemberists have been involved in since The Crane Wife.
John Murry - it's good but because he's set some high standards, good is slightly disappointing for Mr Murry. Hoping it's a grower!
Japanese Breakfast - I really like this. A little bit Grimes, a little bit shoegaze, a lot enjoyable.
Shabazz Palaces - have listened to Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star thus far with Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines to come tonight or tomorrow. It's good but, two or three tracks aside, quite low key.
