New Music Releases Thread



I never realised it was coming but the debut album ( 12 years in making ) from Ame was released on Friday.
The review on pitchfork slated it and I have to agree with them. Gutted as they’ve made some amazing tracks in their career.

My knowledge level of that sort of music doesn't exactly run that deep so can't say I know much about them but it was on my list of albums to listen to this week. Not worth a listen then?

By all means give it a go, you may love it, no right or wrong answer !!

In terms of electronic music, my albums of the year from that genre are AAA, George Fitzgerald and Jon Hopkins.
 
It’s the National day :cool:

@James @Sandboy

I can hardly walk. That was absolutely f***ing mega
Brilliant day, got there a bit late to see PSB due to cheeky pints in Shoreditch and outside Mile End station but enjoyed Warpaint, accidentally stumbled on some folks having fun to Don Letts, Future Islands was emotional, War On Drugs I sat right at the back next to an empty bar and just took it in, very impressive. The National.... those boys can play, loved it. Cracking day, perfect weather, lovely people, brilliant organisation, got robbed left right and centre ( apart from the ticket ) loved every minute
 
Listened to the new Julian Cope album on the way to work. It's good. As with the previous two Skellingtons, it's quite lo-fi and demoish.
Is it streaming anywhere? I heard one track on that NPR playlist I posted a couple of pages back, and I’ll inevitably listen to all of it out of pure habit - love JC but he’s really not done anything of sense or commercial viability since the mid90s. Still keep hoping for the occasional diamond among the general mess! :lol:

Not sure it is...
 
Yeah I'm still hammering the Confidence Man album, the suns been out so I've had a few beers in the garden with it pretty much on repeat !

Also been listening to the new Album from Mr Fingers, its very very laid back house with a real jazz influence. Need to listen to Slug just never had time as of yet.
One of the albums of the year that. Been playing it for weeks. "That's Tom, he's a really shitty dealer..."

It's arguably my album of the year...

I'll then digress into folk stuff to say that the Eliza Carthy/Norma Waterson album is brilliant! a tremendous mix of originals and some very interesting covers.

Continuing in that vein, I'm not sure I praised the Modern Studies album enough as it's bloody brilliant! Reminds me a bit of some of the male/female duets that Tindersticks used to specialise in, in part because the male vocalists sounds like, well, Stuart Staples but has anchors in folk, shoegazing and goth.

“I even went to a party where a guy shoved a light bulb up his ass”

Amazing, saw them live last week and they were excellent. They had crowd eating out of their hands.
 
Seems like a quieter week for new releases but still some good stuff: Ali Shaheed Muhammed and Adrian Younge, Dave Matthews Band, Gruff Rhys, Jorja Smith, Kids See Ghosts, Lily Allen, Lykke Li, Snail Mail, The Get Up Kids (an EP), Virginia Wing, Erin Rae, Port Sulphur, Kacy Johansing, Howlin Rain and Jon Hassell.
