New Music Releases Thread

Anyone on here familiar with Banditos? I saw on FB that they are supporting Sarah Shook in the states and are on same label so checked them out.

Really enjoying their last (2017) album.


Anything I would like there? I’ll listen to The Interrupters, probably Let’s Eat Grandma and maybe Gorillaz, but no idea who any of the last 5 are.

I think I gave Banditos album before last a listen. Thought it was okay but not brilliant.

Of the rest of that list, not sure. Jim James' album may be decent (he's the singer from My Morning Jacket). The Milk Carton Kids are sort of indie-folk stuff. The Rock*A*Teens are an indie rock group who've made their first album in a long time. I believe Sons of Bill are alt-country/Americana, only heard the odd track but they get good reviews.

Off that topic, Uncut's new editor has posted his favourite albums of the year so far:

He seems more in line with this thread than the previous editor was and a bit less experimental...

A superb return to form after his last album.

Agreed... I have to admit that their last album took me a few listens before, but this one, I can listen to it all day...

It wasn't far off my top 6. In fairness, the only album in your list that wouldn't be close is Jon Hopkins, which I like but don't double like.

The Mahones new album is meant to be out tomorrow, but Finny only posted on his Social Media last week that he’d finished mixing it, and the band’s FB Page has been pretty quiet about the release over the last week or so. I’m not sure if that means it’s delayed.

Might be one for @Crayola-Kid

It was delayed, was only completely finished earlier this week. Anyone who pre-ordered it gets it today and it’s going on streaming services next week.

Ska-punk is clearly not the most popular SMB genre but The Interrupters new album is a corker!

Mount Eerie

That's probably my top six. Kali Uchis deserves a place in there somewhere as well.

Good to see a fair few British albums in people's lists.
