She's great is Pip, always great to see another act like that from the UK. Her Colors video from last year racked up a rather large view count, helped her massively.

Actually managed to get to a record store today and bought new albums by Rolling Blackouts Costal Fever and Roxy Girls, both of which are pretty great:

Another vote for Sie Still. It's sounds class on the brief listen I had. I'll listen to it properly at work on Monday night

agree with the above there mate.
Also enjoying jehnny beth's latest of late mate, sounds to old giddy like she's been ingesting a bit jenny hval and karin dreijer there. interesting turn
Final batch of new things for me this week:
Haim - enjoying this a lot. Their best album so far, comfortably.
Ray LaMontagne - pretty good, slightly low key, primarily acoustic Americana.
Arca - one of those albums that seems to have all the right parts but just doesn't fit together correctly.
Vacant Lots - enjoying this quite a bit. Obvious Suicide influences.
Lyr - Simon Armitage's (of Poet Laureate fame) new band. Largely spoken word over instrumentation. Engaging but I'm not sure I'll come back to it too much.
Art Feynman - artsy pop with world music (ish) influences. Rather good.
Album of the week: either Snowgoose or Khruangbin. A few others not far behind though.
Stumbled upon a couple of 2020 albums yesterday that the search function claims weren't mentioned on here.
Ratboys - Printer's Devil. Girl vocal duo, a little 90 punk/indie with some pretty folky tinges here and there (I think from a bit of exploration, they were more like this on earlier stuff), in a similar vein to the likes of Tancred, Charly Bliss, Hiccup, Worriers, Juliana Hatfield, so little surprise that it's right up my alley. Not a million miles away from the Katie Malco of a few weeks back. Like it a lot.
Empty Country - Empty Country. New band from the main bloke from Cymbals Eat Guitars, who I saw supporting Pixies and Bob Mould and really enjoyed. This is still alternative, and quite blown up in places but has more of an Americana feel to it than straight-up alt rock. I'd have to listen to it again to decide - I'd say I like CEG more, but there were a few tracks that I enjoyed on this.

We can only hope...
It’s gonna be shite isn’t it
We'll find out on Friday, or at least get a hint. He's got to be due a more song based album at some point.
I clearly spend way too long on here - almost responded "Chunks?" to a complete stranger on Instagram yesterday who posted "Emperor's New Clothes" on a post about Fontaines. Figured it was either you or someone in that London who is going Thor with your views.

set up perfectly @chunkylover53
You know what, they’re fine. I quite enjoyed the album. They are instantly forgettable to me however
