New Music Releases Thread

Try hard! Very excited to see her this fall. She was one of our last shows before lockdown. I liked Big Chill, but it was a slow burner and the new one sounds instantly better to me. We have our first shows next weekend (Laura Jane Grace in a local bar and then Sleater-Kinney/Wilco in the city the following night) - for people who go to 20-25 shows a year, it's been a long stretch of cold turkey!

Agreed, sir

I don't go to that many gigs a year, but I really missed seeing bands live

I was in Barcelona end of June and a mate of mine was running some corporate event.

He rang me and told me that they company had book a big name act, spent loads of money to do a short gig, with a free bar. We wouldn't get to find out how was on until the night, but it was a free gig, fee bar, and a big name act.

I said yes.

Turns out it was Jon Bon Jovi.

That will be getting a thorough and proper listen.

While I'm on, @Mickdundee, the Willy Nile album is properly up your street.

Yeah I was listening to it on Friday. He’s been pretty prolific in recent years for a man in his 70s! He snow released as many albums in the last 10 years, as he did between 1980 and 2010.

My potted review of my new listening this week. Have mentioned a couple of things already...

Suzie Ungerleider: the artist formerly known as Oh Susanna. This is a very pretty album of gentle Americana.
Jungle: very good indeed. It's their usual hook laden funk/R&B thing. Sounds like they've been listening to Sault.
Chorusing: intriguing. Solo project from Matthew O'Connell, a Raleigh, North Carolina based producer. It's, I guess arthouse rock.
Josienne Clarke: female singer-songwriter who's come from more of a folk background but this is firmly in the alt. guitar sector. Very good1
Tashaki Miyaki: I think this was a physical release on Friday and it's been out for a month or so. Dream poppy alt rock, pretty good.
The Helicopter of the Holy Ghost: bit of a minor Brit indie supergroup. They're fronted by Mark Morriss of The Bluetones with Billy Reeves, once of theaudience, writing the songs. Quite piano based and, apparently, Robert Wyatt influenced. Well worth a listen.
Willie Nile: excellent stuff from the 70 something Americana rocker. Reminds me of The Replacements.
Jade Bird: the second album from Hexham's queen of Americana. She's got a good voice and some very good songs.
Devendra Banhart & Noah Georgeson: file this one under ambient Americana. Largely instrumental (none Devendra's hippy grooves here) and a pleasant way to spend some time.
The Killers: as already mentioned, their most Springsteenian release yet. Very good.
Chip Taylor: twenty songs of gentle folk/Americana from a really underrated verteran songwriter. Lovely!
Hartnoll & Young: terrific basically. Orbital style electronica with an eccentric doing spoken word stuff over the top. Some terrific pop songs. Reminds me a little of both Public Service Broadcasting and the album that Malcolm Middleton and David Shrigley did a few years ago.

Album of the week: a strong week, everything above is recommended. I'll say Willie Nile just.

Sounds like a man in his 30s though.

Slightly odd thing but, if you're into Springsteen, The Killers new album is good. (It's good anyway but very Bruce)

i need to listen to that ( as a total devote of Bruce )
I’m actually not ashaged to say I thought their headline performance at glastonbury was top drawer

As I'm off to Green Man in the morning, the week's releases are coming a bit early. We have new albums from Badge Epoch, Between The Buried And Me, David Duchovny, Deafheaven, Debbie Gibson, James, McMurtry, Kool & the Gang, Lorde, Maggie Rose, Martha Wainwright, Palmistry, Shannon and the Clams, Sturgill Simpson, Villagers, Wanda Jackson, Wolves in the Thrown Room, Jake Bugg, the compilation Scared to Get Happy: A Story Of Indie Pop 80-89, Orla Gartland, Anderson East, BNNY, Azure Ray, Alabama 3, Tropical Fuck Storm and Nathan Salsburg.

There's a proper bonanza to be getting on with there. I'll be playing catch up from Monday afternoon onward.
