New Music Releases Thread


I hadn't realised Jesse Malin released an EP in the last few weeks. I'll add it to my list for tomorrow!

Really disappointed, hasn't grabbed me at all

I'll give it a listen at the weekend.

Missed Lucy Rose from my list of new releases, possibly because she's not particularly good.
 
Jay-Z is out on Apple Music so assume everywhere else too.

Seen a couple of good reviews of the Haim album including a very good one on Pitchfork.
 
Haim is a bit meh. Not as disappointing as I feared, and there are a couple of very good tracks, but it's definitely overpolished and a bit Days Are Gone-lite.
 
My mate's band released an an EP today if anyone's got nowt to listen to, it's on Spotify and Apple music etc. Got a nice write up in The Line of Best Fit & on DIY this week. They're called Forever Cult.

I liked the first 2 tracks then it's just a lot of "meh". Will end up being one of those records no one talks about again in a couple of weeks.

Yeah I like the first 2 and "Right Now", but everything else is quite forgettable.
 
I'm not a massive fan of the new Jesse Malin EP. The first track is like a reject from an early 00s Dandy Warhols album. With the second, I can see what he's trying to do but I just don't like/get it. The last 2 songs are more like I'd expect from his solo stuff style-wise, they just aren't anything special.

On a brighter note, Haim is growing on me. It's still a disappointment but I'm warming to it!

Listened to it today. On first listen, it's okay but nowt flash! Not sure the songs are as strong as usual... listening to Jupiter & Okwess currently. This is cracking stuff! Properly good west African funk...

that second jesse malin track is comfortably the worst thing he's ever recorded, sounds about twenty years out of date
