New Music Releases Thread

So, my weekly review of the week's new stuff:

Sven Wunder: well produced sort of easy listening/exotica. A bit like Lemon Jelly with no samples. Decent enough.
Datarock: this, on the other hand, is ace. Elements of a Scandi LCD Soundsystem here. Give it a listen.
Animal Collective: their best since Merriweather. Some cracking tunes and an ultralong centre piece.
Modern Nature: stately folk inspired songs. They continue to be be superb. Better with every album.
Matana Roberts: female fronted arthouse jazz. Intriguing.
Say She She: excellent R&B inspired pop. The songs are superb.
Setting: really good, folkie/ambient/droning melodic from three veterans of the freak/alt folk scene.
Blonde Redhead: their tenth album over the course of 20 odd years together. This is really good. Quite elegant and restrained.
Wilco: up to the usual standard. Cate Le Bon gives this a slightly more experimental bent than usual.
Molly Burch: a good album of soulful alt rock. A little bit Cat Power.
Steven WIlson: prog,prog, prog, prog, proggity, proggity prog. Actually pretyy good but not quite as immediately warming as his last album.
Oneohtrix Point Never: avante progtronica. A lot of variation here but a very god album.
Armand Hammer: alt hiphop. Intriguing and engaging.
Melanas: young Spanish indie girls who seem to have discovered Stereolab. This is an absolutely cracking album and a real surprise.
Islet: obtuse indie-rock. Decent as always but I never quite love their albums.
Jlin: electronica, quite brief. Okay.
Cherry Glazerr: indie rockers go a bit more keyboardy. Decent.
Slow Pulp: US indie kids make a decent album. A bit Breeders-y. Good TBH.

Album of thr weeK; I'll go for Melanas just pipping Datarock, Animal Collective, Modern Nature, Say She She and Wilco.

New alexalone missed, for shame
 
Listened to new Meatraffle record today.
More synthy and dare I say it disco, than usual.
It’s good but I preferred their earlier sound.

As I said in my mini review, I think the last track is terrific, not so bothered by the rest.

Oooh, Teeth of the Sea please mister
 
Amigo The Devil dropped the first new song from his upcoming album last night.
I've been a fan since someone on here recommended his previous album, and this is equally good.

That might have been me, he’s really excellent. Missed out on seeing him in Glasgow in June because I already had tickets for Andrew McMahon (not quite as bad as missing Wilco for Blink 182 but possibly the low budget version).

Dogstar still got that bassist who makes films with karate in?
 
Mutual Benefit put a new record out yesterday as well. A return to form as well based on a first listen.

I've just read that the record is dedicated to his partner who died in April. That bloke is bloody tough time of it lately. :(
