I’m liking ‘agressive, gay jazz’ as a genre!

Grand Veymont is good, thanks.
Wasn’t on Spotify (albeit I had had a bottle of red) so trusted you with £2.99 of my hard earned cash on iTunes
Good shout
Continuing my catch up with new stuff from the last week or two, I have primarily been listening to 3 albums today, along with catching up with TV of different amounts of decentness... they are by:
Tiny Ruins: this is good. Kiwis doing subtle, lush indiepop. Essentially, they're kind of a vehicle for Bristol born singer/songwriter Hollie Fullbrook.
Unloved: A band with David Holmes involved will always be decent. This is more than decent. The sound is a combo of 60s girl band and Twin Peaks' Roadhouse. They lose a mark for having a member called Keefus Ciancia but gain one back for being on Heavenly Recordings, who know their tunes.
Rat Boy: I, @Arkle do solemnly swear that in terms of both enjoyability and listenagainness, there aren't going to be many albums better than this in 2019. First album was a bit Jamie T clone Skaterboi. This kind of continues that to a degree but, well, it's ace...

For the older types like me, new Bob Mould (Sunshine Rock) and Lemonheads (Varshons 2 [covers]) albums out Friday

Looking forward to Mouldy Bob in particular. Reviews suggesting it's his best in a long, long time.
I think Silver Age was the best thing he'd done since Copper Blue, but thinking back I guess that's 5-6 years old at this point. Time flies... I've liked the singles, all very Bob, so it should be a good one. Off to see him as an old school power trio in a few weeks - looking forward to that, as that's really when he sounds at his best, but the last couple of goes around he's been solo
This Deerhunter record is good isn't it. Lovely old listen.
I thought they were shit as well based on Monomania.

Listen to Microcastle and Weird Era Cont
It's an album that should have them at the top end of medium sized festival bills.
Got your ticket yet?
Not as yet. Need to confirm some work dates etc...
It’s gonna be good....
Aye. Both EotR and Green Man look pretty marvellous!
Just given this a listen. Thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed it - very pretty in places and comfortingly nostalgic in others. Good listen!
EOTR ticket sorted
I don't dislike it, but I was a bit disappointed - I'd heard their live versions of some of the new songs, and was really looking forward to the album, but it loses some of the energy and, I dunno, oomph that the live version of What Happens To People or No One's Sleeping had.
It’s really grown on me, took a while tho

Midfield
I’d not heard of Beirut, had them on over the weekend, great stuff. The riptide track (and album) is the standout for me up to now. Thanks for the tip.
