The Adir L.C record is a decent listen
New Music Releases Thread
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Not new music releases, strictly speaking, but if you like Joy Division, with the 40th 
anniversary of Unknown Pleasures coming up, various directors have made new videos for each track on the album. They're doing some kind of Youtube thing nearer the date, Unknown Pleasures Reimagined, with a broadcast of them and a round table discussion, but they're releasing the vids between now and then and I think the first is tomorrow

Springsteen’s new uns getting good reviews but the record company are semi apologising for it by saying don’t worry he’ll be back with the e street band on the next one. Ffs the e street albums have been stale born for ower 20 years give or take a couple of songs.
This one’s supposed to be his Glenn Campbell/Jimmy Webb, Bacharach/David phase. Sounds reet up my MOR street tbh.
I refuse to believe all these Perrett fans were listening to the only ones back in the day. They can’t have cos they would’ve been off the toilet/college circuit.
Seen honeyblood in my local a few weeks back. Decent they were. I’d nivver heard of em tbh which won’t have helped. I’d go again.

I think a lot of people picked up on The Only Ones after the fact. I'm 50 and would only have been 10/11 when they released Baby's Got A Gun.

I thought the Chris Shiflett album was out tomorrow but it looks like the Americans are getting it a week before the rest of the world.
Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies guitarist/keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist/sometime-vocalist) has a new solo album out tomorrow, and is also releasing all his out of print solo records to streaming services as of tomorrow.

My vinyl copy should be en route to Kuwait as we speak.........His last album was good.
Going to take a punt on Bad Books today - I’m very late to the dance on Manchester Orchestra but I like what I’ve heard
Have to admint, I had no idea who Bad Books are/were until this.
I think it'll mostly be safe ground for me with Bill Callahan, Bruce Springsteen and Iron & Wine and Calexico with Mattiel and Anatolian Weapons as wildcards...
This one is, for me, at least as good.
That's the second time recently that I've treated your list as a today thing - tomorrow!
Full disclosure, I only found this out last week because my boss is a MO fan and brought up that Bad Books are playing local in a week or two - he'll do something good like that and then somehow simultaneously underhandedly coerce me into going to see Bush/Live at the weekend
Agreed on the Only Ones - I've got Another Girl Another Planet on vinyl, but I was only 10 when it came out, so I definitely didn't buy it at the time. Probably got into it as a result of all those punk/new wave compilations that came out after the fact in the 80s and 90s.

I’m sure Another Girl Another Planet was used as the theme tune to a late night music programme on tv. Possibly one of Tyne tees pre The Tube efforts?
Anyway I’d heard it on Peels prog and rushed out to buy the album, as usual there was nowt else on there anywhere near as good. Good band though......I must’ve thought so as I bought all three albums but nivver saw em live. They’d broken up before I moved down south.
I bet those albums would be worth a few bob now.......shame I offloaded em.

Yes, it was - it was called Alright Now on Tyne Tees. I got AGAP 12 inch after hearing it on John Peel - went down to Saville's (or Pete Edmonds) in South Shields to get, I was 14 and have still got it now. Bizarre its a 12 inch record with a 3 minute song on one side and the B-Side had a song which is 1 minute 50 - As my wife says.I’m sure Another Girl Another Planet was used as the theme tune to a late night music programme on tv.

Cheers marra. I thought I’d imagined it.
That was one of Malcolm Gerries shows before he got the tube up n running iirc.

A bit disappointed that the Kevin Hearn record is essentially instrumental, ambient electronica. The kind of thing you’d hear poolside on holiday, rather than the quirky indie pop he usually writes.
Chris Shiflett lives up to expectations, it probably helps that half the songs were released before the album was but I’m very much enjoying it.

Prana Crafter are doing an album called Symbiose split with Tarotplane (one side each). It’s not due until August but there’s been a few bits of it played on American psych stations and it sounds class. It reminds me of what early Flying Saucer Attack were doing with their “rural psychedelia” Symbiose (PRE-ORDER), by Prana Crafter & Tarotplane
Stuff I missed from my list: new albums by South Korea's Park Jiha, Dressy Bessy, The Catenary Wires and Chip Taylor.
It obviously made a habit of being an oddment - mine is a bizarre reissue, 12" too, but has Pretty In Pink on the B-Side
