John Maus and Mary Lattimore. Maybe Ray LaMontagne but his albums seem to alternate between excellent and dull. Both Charles Watson and TT could be interesting, depending on what direction they go in comparison to their bands.
Just seen that Glenn Branca has died, sad news
Worth a listen if you don’t know him

Oh. He was very very good
Yeah. For years I used to get him confused with Glenn Danzig, who has been infuential but in a very different sphere of music.

Ash, Courtney Barnett, Steven Malkmus and (the unlisted) debut album by The Corps (side project of the Real McKenzies guitarist, bassist and drummer).
Yeah. I remember seeing them at Green Man years ago on a really small stage. They were great - Charles on guitar and Rebecca doing percussion on an old chair and some bottles... the quality of the songs and the sense of fun stood out!
Both Ray LaMontagne and Ryley Walker are artists who might well interest you...

Yeah I’m familiar with Ray Lamontagne,never heard of Ryley Walker. I’m off work to do more gardening tomorrow so can probably make my way through a massive list of music.

Enjoyed wild nothing and checked out the other beach house stuff. Like it a lot.
Fratellis were very disappointing. Super quiet and played most stuff at half speed. The years haven’t been too kind to them either!
Going to see Carsie blanton tonight I’ve just been informed. Never heard of her so should really check some of her stuff out!

Never heard of her either marra.
The Independent is loving this week's main releases.

Courtney and Parquet Courts, in particular, are getting quality reviews everywhere.
I had a bit of a 'mare with my new release list. Missed albums by Half Man Half Biscuit, Bombino, Jennifer Castle, The Last Poets and Wax Chattels (which is Rough Trade's album of the week).

I'm going to get onto all those in the review first up.
Parquet Courts is, unsurprisingly, class

Apple Music have just informed me that there’s a new Matt Costa album out today, which is a nice surprise. Don’t think he’ll ever surpass his debut though!
The Stephen Malkmus and Courtney Barnett albums are both excellent. His best Jicks album of the lot for me.

Thankfully Courtney Barnetts latest is grower. I was worried after the first listen.
Still need to give it a go. I'm hopeful as the two reviews I've read said it's their best (the odd song apart I've not been impressed in the past).

Listened to both once, and were enjoyable, but big statements. Will give both more goes.
Booked Libertines plus Thurston plus Patti Smith at Roundhouse
They are awesome. They are not disappointing
