New Music Releases Thread

Just back from End of the Road with my school report (having missed Friday, which kinda sucks!)

New (to me) stuff worth checking out:
Tides of Man - a postrock band from Tampa
The Burning Hell - Canadian comedy indie types (think Jeffrey Lewis with more laughs)
TootArd - from Golan Heights (so Syrian). Sort of desert rock with ska-ish influences.
Vaudou Game - singer's from Togo, most of the band are French. They do Afro-funk stuff.

Also realised I'd never seen or heard King Khan & the Shrines before. They're tremendous live and the King himself is marvellously costumed!

More familiar to this thread: Ryley Walker, Jens Lekman, Xylouris White, Nadine Shah, HMLTD, Let's Eat Grandma, Ty Segall, Car Seat Headrest (especially Car Seat Headrest!), Rolling Blackouts Coast Fever, Timber Timbre, Julia Jacklin, Foxygen, Perfume Genius and Bill Callahan were all cool. Baxter Dury seems to be a twat!
First time you have seen Car Seat Headrest mate? Absolutely top class

Haven't done upcoming gigs for a while so here goes

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! (Songkick seem to have decided they aren't headlining anymore mind)

LCD Soundsystem
The National
Sigur Rós in Oslo

First time for both them and HMLTD. That sounds like a decent run...

Is that the Girl Ray gig in November? If so I'm going to that too.

HMLTD
Mirrors (Los Camp! and few others)
Gold Class
The National

That's about it for me, haven't seen much I fancy.

Pat Nevin is DJing at the Shacklewell Arms in a couple of weeks. :lol: Might have a dodge.

Yup. See you there

Tempted by Gold Class too
 
Good to read some positive mentions of the new Mogwai record. I enjoyed Atomic after catching them perform it live, so if ECS is considered better, it must warrant a listen.

I saw Girl Ray supporting Teleman and have to say they were dreadful. They are hyped up to the hilt but there's nothing there - twee, insubstantial rubbish imo. I simply dont get the hype.
 
Barenaked Ladies have announced that their new album, the superbly titled "Fake Nudes" will be released on the 17th November, the day before my wedding anniversary.

I hope it's a return to form because the last 2 albums have been a bit MOR.
 
LOving both LCD Soundsystem and Mogwai's new albums. Also, as I don't think it's been mentioned, the WH Lung single which came out earlier this year is tremendous... full of Krautrocky goodness!

Gave the former three listens. It's not happening.

Loving both the W.H Lung singles. First I've heard of them so thanks for posting that, right up my street.
 
New Primus album is out 29th September, and the new single has been unveiled but I've not heard it yet.
 
So how excited are we for the National on Friday?

Quite very. There's a lot of other things out which I will summarise on the morrow. TBH, there's a lot every week until mid October or thereabouts.

Edit: It's probably worth me adding that the Rails new album (one from last week) is a pretty good bit of folk rock type stuff. Should be as one of them is RIchard Thompson's daughter.
