Phantastic Ferniture is good!

Underworld n Iggy is rather good
It’s great. Just a shame it’s only a 4 track ep and not full album.

Almost all the songs are like 8 minutes long, though...
The same is true of the Kamasi Wahington album but that's got 16 songs on it.

Ture. But most jazz albums have super long songs, though... they get into a groove and just keep playing...
And I wasn't complaining - I was just saying as I'm surprised Iggy made it through the 4, actually
So... the three new releases I've listened to:
Underworld & Iggy: that's marvellous! Just a shame, as @mad cyril says it's not longer. The closing two songs, "I'll See Big" and "Get Your Shirt" are up there for 2018 marvellosity!
Phantastic Ferniture: good, good, very good. Nothing that changes music forever but good songs. A bit more upbeat than Julia Jacklin's solo stuff thus far.
Israel Nash: Just ace! If you're a fan of Ryan Adams, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips etc., give "Lifted" a listen. The man's been close for a while but this is the first time he's properly delivered...
Away from that, three albums that are newish i.e. I had no idea that they were out:
Simon Love: very good, witty eccentric, slightly sweary pop. Includes a John Noakes tribute song (kind of).
Fantastic Negrito: he's magnificent live and this almost captures that. Should, really should be a massive star...
Sink Ya Teeth: From Norwich, debut album. Very good! Kind of electro punk, ESG are the obvious influence. A fun album!

The Fantastic Negrito "Please Don't Be Dead" album is energetic as fuck... very good album.
Will give Israel Nash another shout based on that then

Iggy, Israel and Fantastic added to my Apple Music library.
I’d planned to listen to Iggy, but I’ve actually found this a surprisingly good week so I got sidetracked.
Disappointed massively by The Mahones new one, but the new Might Mighty Bosstones (Non-USA release this week, came out in America about 6 weeks ago) is probably their best album since “Let’s Face It”, Kyle Falconer is surprisingly good, and I also found an AJJ B-Sides/rarities album was released on Friday.
I’ll try the other 2 tomorrow.

Sink ya teeth is great. Very promising debut.

I’d never heard of him until you posted this, but the album is, erm, rather fantastic!
Yeah. It's a big step up on his earlier album for me. That was good but not quite as coherent as this. Well worth seeing live as well...

Not particularly new but I've only recently discovered these.
Thanks for this and the bump Chunky. This is excellent!
And, August brings albums from: Amanda Shires, Campdogzz, Gulp, Houndmouth, James, Jim Lauderdale (two releases, one new, one unearthed from 1979), Lucero, Mac Miller, Shemekia Copeland, The Love Language, Travis Scott, Trophy Eyes, YG, Michael Mau & the Mighty Thread, Helena Hauff, Gabe Gurnsey, The Black Delta Movement, Daniel Bachman and Elephant Micah.
The singles put out by Gabe Gurnsey ( of factory floor ) have been good. Looking forward to this tomorrow.
