New Music Releases Thread


The Twilight Sad album is brilliant. Love that band, hadn't heard of them before the split festival a few years back.

James Blake has a bit more of a mainstream sound on this album but still enjoyed it and Steve Mason pretty good too, its been a good day.

Quite a lot there for me!

Busy week - got the Juliana Hatfield and Twilight Sad on preorder but I’m stuffed on both as JH is held up from preordering with Blake Babies reissue and I think the TS has to come from the UK (although it shipped a few days ago).

Must say that none of the new music this week has blown me away yet. It’s all fine, but nothing more than 7/10

Only listened to The Twilight Sad and Julian Lynch so far. Twilight Sad is good but it's not Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters, which is the thingy they've thingied to thing themselves. The Julian Lynch album is very good, an 8/10.
 
Deerhunters is poor.

I’ve had a quick skim through Steve Mason and it doesn’t grab me as much as his last. Too early to say though.

Agreed. Only listened once though, so whilst it's not as instant or seemingly with the hooks of the previous it needs a few spins.

I hadn’t heard of them till this week, so have had the new one on and thought it was Interpol meets Biffy, which isn’t the worst thing I’ve heard... But then, I stuck their previous album on which is I guess the 14/15 one you’re referring to and really enjoyed it more, kinda Mogwai with vocals... much preferred it to the new one...

14 Autumns was back in 2007. Their debut. It's a cracking album! Not sure how I'd describe it but neither Interpol nor Biffy would be involved...

Aye, just been announced he’s supported by Edgar Jones, ex member of the Stairs. Anybody who remembers the Stairs I’m sure will agree they were great. Coincidentally, they were also the first band I ever saw live on a stage when they played first on a bill alongside the Milltown Brothers and the Charlatans !!

Just checked & the album I had on yesterday (& enjoyed mogwai style) was ‘nobody wants to be here and nobody wants to leave’, quite a snappy lp title...

Will seak out the debut effort anarl...
 
Listened to Twilight Sad, Pedro the Lion and Doug Paisley. All decent, but none as good as previous work on first couple of listens for me.
