Deerhunter, Juliana Hatfield, Lost under Heaven, SVE, Steve Gunn, Steve Mason and the Twilight Sad for me?
Most of them for me. Everything I listed from Raoul Vignal to Liz Brasher got good reviews in Uncut recently so I need to see why I noted them as worth a listen as well (well, Angelo de Augustine because his previous album was excellent). Also, trying to remember whether I'm getting Maggie Rogers mixed up with someone else...
That surprised me TBH!

Quite a lot this week. I’ll prioritise Juliana Hatfield and Aesop Rock and there’s about another 3 or 4 to get through if I have time. I think there’s a new Ryan Adams single coming tomorrow too!
Next week is hopefully the return to form of Michael Franti (the last 2 have been horrendous) and the new Dandy Warhols album, neithe of which will appeal to anyone except me.
Not so bothered about Dandy Warhols but, at his best, Michael Franti was always very good. I suspect it's a long, long time since I listened to a new Spearhead album though. There's a few interesting things out next week but I'm off on my work travels again so will probably listen to them on my return.

New Deerhunter is getting some good reviews so I’m looking forward to that. Will give James Blake a listen although I’ve never really ‘got’ him.
Papa Roach
Had no idea they were still around either!

I didnt either for a long time but loved the single from last year "Don't miss it" which is on the new album and just revisited his older stuff, really like him nowNew Deerhunter is getting some good reviews so I’m looking forward to that. Will give James Blake a listen although I’ve never really ‘got’ him.

I’ve just realised James Blake isn’t James Bay
I thought it was a bit bizarre that the SMB were all looking forward to him!

I saw him live twice in the mid 00s (TITP 2004 and Edinburgh Corn Exchange in 2006 or 2007) and for a while everything he did was brilliant. I think his problem was he got less angry after Obama was elected, hopefully he’s spent the last few years stewing over Trump!

deerhunter interesting on first couple listens there mate, but it's nee halcyon digest imo. yet
It’s very good at a time in their career I thought it might go a bit downhill. Very much looking forward to seeing them in the spring now.

It's a return to form cos their last few albums were a bit patchy imo

It might be a one off tune and anything that follows shite.
