It’s not a criticism, just letting people know it’s out. I’ve not been a massive fan of the singles so hoping the album isn’t a let down
Yeah, it's one I'll be giving a listen to.
Thanks for the heads up on Laura Stevenson

Thanks for the heads up here, been listening all day and it’s a great album, couple of good tunes and an excellent over all long player...Everyone should give the Nilufer Yanya album a blast. Guardian album of the week, Pitchfork Best New Music, 4* Uncut, Q, Mojo, Independent
Meh. this year's Lily Allen. Really can't get into it.
If the musical genre 'desert rock' doesn't exist then it's just been invented. Tremendous album

Good stuff! Desert blues exists as a genre (with relation to Malian music), desert rock seems to be a Californian stoner rock subgenre.
Not sure whether you've listened to it but the Kel Assouf album from earlier this year is a gem.

Me neither. Music for Londoners - expect she'll be on Jools Holland a lot.

I’ve now listened to Son Volt and Laura Stevenson. On first listen, neither is particularly groundbreaking but both a nice enough listen and probably 7/10s
I missed one or two things from my list. Albums by Ohtis, Billie Eilish and The Matthew Herbert Big Brexit Band plus a trio of interesting compilations - "Losing Touch With my Mind: Psychedelia in Britain", which seems to cover the same time preiod as the C86/C87/C88/C89 albums but concentrates and psychedelia, not indie-janglism, Floating Points' Late Night Tales comp and "Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present: Three Day Week ~ When The Lights Went Out 1972-1975", another of their gems from the 60s/70s things (70s in this case).
Will give that a spin, cheers.
Edit: D'oh. dickhead - downloaded and listened a couple weeks ago (Black Tenere) -as you say, excellent album

I actually really the Billie Eilish album a lot. Was listening to it this morning.
Another band that I just recently discovered is Otoboke Beaver. My friends all find them annoyingly noisy, but I absolutely love their stuff. I can't stop listening to their new single "I'm Tired of Your Repeating Story". I don't understand a word of it since all their lyrics are in Japanese but their vibe is right up my alley.
I've just got tickets for Manchester. Hoping there's not too much of Schmilco and Star Wars as I was pretty underwhelmed by both of them. But regardless, they are just about the best live band around at the minute. Just finished Tweedys book as well, which is excellent.
Absolutely... I may try and get a London ticket although will have to wait a bit. The wife (no) will lose her shit if I spend money on another ticket.
Im listening to Whole Love on vinyl at the minute, it's their last great album for me. Everything up to that was just incredible.
I've read good things about Tweedys latest but haven't heard it yet. Any thoughts?
Oh it’s very good indeed, definitely worth a listen
Saw him headline one night of EOTR last year, just him and a guitar. Absolutely magic
I don't understand why they aren't particular big over here. Incredible musicians. Kotche is the best drummer around for me.
Wasn't going to bother with this based on a couple of less than glowing reviews but you turned me. Glad you did as it is rather good. A lot better than I remember part 1 being!
