New Music Releases Thread



Alex Cameron. He was decent, but didn't blow me away. The vocals were excellent but it felt like everything else was too toned down, it lacked that pop punch that you get on the records.

Saw him at Cluny on Sunday and thought he was great. I had however been on the drink since 1pm. First time in years I've actually 'moshed' at a gig.

On a side note, I see Baxter Duryis supporting Noel on his arena tour. Really really want to see BD but I have a real issue paying 60 to sit in the arena.
 
Would have loved to see This Is The Kit. A lot of the others I wanted to see (Julie Byrne, Nadia Reid, Aldous Harding, Julia Jacklin) are playing End of the Road so will get a second chance there...

An amazing performance on Jools Holland. Very immersed and theatrical, dare i say Kate Bush'esque

She's a big talent! The move from her first album of slightly twee but contemporary sounding folk to the theatricality of the latest album has been quite something... New Zealand seems to be on something of a high musically with Aldous Harding, Marlon Williams, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Nadia Reid, Connan Mockasin etc., not to mention Lorde...

Ta mate, will take a good look through all of them.

Again on Jools beginning to think King Krule is maturing nicely


And also thought this was a good set by Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile to promote their collaboration Sea Lice by the Seaside

Some nice Fender Jaguar action in that Kurt Vile video and the drummer from Sleater Kinney :)

Working through the ones I hadn’t heard (or at least much of)

Ifriqiyya Electrique is f***ing magic!

I'll give it a listen and also try to trawl through things I've not heard.

Still a scattering of new releases this week: Alex Bloom, Charles Hayward & Thurston Moore, Jim James, QTY, Robert Finley, Virginia WIng and XAM Duo, Dan Michaelson.
 
I’ve been catching up on some of the stuff I’ve missed through the year - Offa Rex, Hurray for the Riff Raff (even though @Arkle has been pushing it for months), Nikki Lane and Fiddlers Green.

Started with Nikki Lane (picked it up from a top albums list Jason Isbell posted on his social media) and must say I’m impressed.

I've been doing much the same (or did last week), Neil Young aside.

Missed a new Bill Baird album from my list of new releases (his fourth of the year, I think). Also, there's a Belle and Sebastian EP, which looks to be the first third of their upcoming album. Yet to give either a listen.

The Jim James covers album is pretty good.
