New Music Releases Thread


Marlon Williams is like Chris Isaac before he played a music teacher on Friends. But, from New Zealand and good...

Aside from that, gave the recent Saul Williams album a belated listen and it's crunchy. And, the free CD with this month's Uncut (Springsteen cover) is very good... Meilyr Jones, anyone?
 
Attempted to jump on the vinyl bandwagon but can't find the new Fall Ep for love nor money, ended up making do with the CD. Turns out its on Spotify but I didn't check earlier cos their last release took 8 months to get there.

MJ is potentially very very good. Refugees is a cracking song although his other stuff is a bit poppier.
 
Someone tell me where to start with Neil Young please

Heard bits over the years, own the best of etc, but off to see him in Lyon whilst over there for the Euros so a bit of background would be good
 
Have to admit, Marina and the Diamonds was tremendous last night. Poptastic.

Money tonight, Car Seat Headrest tomorrow and then The Crookes on Wednesday to top off a week of live music.

Seen The Crookes at thinktank on the 13th ... Very good and you need to add +25p to your can of red stripe price

Really? f***ing hell, no way should anywhere be charging £4.50+ for a can, never mind a venue in Newcastle ffs. iirc it's a rip off at the Village Underground tonight as well so I'll be giving the support band a miss. Still cheaper than Think Tank, mind.

Glad you enjoyed The Crookes, very good live band.

I'm off to see Tuff Love at a brewery on Thursday

I have to say I enjoyed the Manmoth Penguins record, I will have forgotten about it by next month but worth a listen

Seth Bogart also worth a listen, not my usual thing but enjoyed it. And it features Kathleen Hana so it can't be bad

Misty Miller supported them up here... Was just her self and her boyfriend on guitar, canny voice but her songs were shit

Aye she's touring with them on every date I think. She's gone from being a light hearted acoustic-based 17 year old to this weird punk feminist thing now she's grown up. Doesn't seem that interesting but I'll probably still get there in time to catch some of her set out of interest. Quite liked her song she did with the Crookes, thought that would've made the album but I guess it wouldn't really fit the style of it.

She did a song with them near the end of their set iirc.

EDIT: Aye Ex-Lovers was the one she did with them

I can't remember the last time I bought a cheap drink at a music venue. I got a pint of IPA at the Deaf Institute in Manchester the other night and that was £4, which is probably one of the more reasonable prices I've had to pay.

£3 for a large wine at St John Church at Hackney, served by a vicar. :lol: Class venue.

I expect to pay over the odds for drinks at gigs, but when a venue in Newcastle is knocking 440ml cans out at over £4.50 a pop, that is a joke and I hope they lose a lot of money from it the robbing bastards.

Personally I'd suggest Harvest and After the gold rush.
I'm far from an authority but these two are my favourites.
 
Heard a couple Crookes songs the last couple of days and they sound canny...any recommendation of which album to begin with?

Hold Fast is a good starting point. If you're into their sound though there's hardly a bad track on any of their albums, they have nailed catchy guitar pop with good lyrics. They're class and one those bands I will always go back to inbetween listening to new albums.

Nice one James, will have a look through their back catalog this evening.
