New Music Releases Thread

Depends what the artists sets it as. Some let you stream for free unlimited, some once or twice before you have to buy it.

When The Twilight Sad live album was on there a few months ago it was only letting me stream 30 seconds of each track before I bought it. But so far this Mogwai album has been unlimited
 
So, first impressions of some stuff:

Thor & Friends: a veritable who's who of 90s/early 2000s indie rock luminaries over two albums: Low, Michael Gira, Jarboe, Bill Callahan. Both albums are primarily instrumental, not sure if I'd describe them as ambient (which tends to imply electronic) or post-rock (they're not quiet loud). They're maybe a bit post-prog.
Throwing Muses: it's a Throwing Muses album, it's good/very good but you know what you're getting. 7.8/10 and move on.
Emily Barker: a very, very nice folkish singer-songwriter album. Cracking voice!
Girl Band: going out on a limb, I'll say that this slaps several bunnies. Probably better than either of their studio albums.
Danny Keane: jazz, the good jazz, the very good stuff. He's been side man for a lot of well known people previously.
Jeremy Tuplin: the sound of a million bunnies being slapped at once. This seems to be his third album and he's from the west country (says Uncut). Vague comparisons to Kevin Morby but he's a bit more varied than Morbo is.

Currently listening to the Marc Bolan tribute album. Five tracks in and Nick Cave and Lucinda Williams have been excellent, Devendra Banhart has chosen a non-hit, Joan Jett's Jeepster is fun but not really necessary and I'm not arsed whether I hear Kesha's take on "Children of the Revolution" again.

eagerly await your Michael Rother synopsis sir ( 10/10 in my humble opinion)
 
Heard Tricky's new one. Will have to give it another go but I feel this might be the first album of his I won't buy. Despite featuring a new female vocalist it didn't seem to go anywhere new. Clocks in at under half an hour.
