New Music Releases Thread


I was a bit confused to see that there was a new Silver Sun album, called Mad Peril, out last week. Looks to be songs James Broad was working on when he passed away in 2020. Not listened yet but all the songs appear to be on the YouTubes.

The new Laura Marling album (her 8th) is very impressive. She has a new fan. Got a lot of catching up to do.

Always wanted to like her stuff but never really got into it. Will give her new one a bash.

She is from a very small village not far from me, and I did live right next door to it for a few years. It's weird to think anyone famous comes from there.

Heard a few songs from her over the years, but this is the first time I felt I wanted to hear a full album and it keeps drawing me back.

Brilliant. Loved Petes collab with panda bear, and I like Dean and Britta. Should be good

Heard it tonight as they did a bandcamp listening party. It's very good. Some fantastic vocals from Britta.

The Peter Alexander Jobson album is exceptionally good. He was the bassist in I Am Kloot and originally comes from Morpeth. There are elements of Tindersticks, Richard Dawson and TOm Waits here. The longest track, Kesta, is magnificent.

Manon Meurt and Clarissa Connelly are new names to me. I'd put Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds number 1 this year. Would have a lot of what you listed quite high up probably. I'm guessing you mean "Wall Of Eyes" for The Smile, not "Cutouts"? The latter is very good but is basically a collection of tracks that didn't make either other album. Arab Strap, MJ Lenderman, Tindersticks and Beth Gibbons all there or thereabouts as well.

The Beth Gibbons album is excellent. I am compiling a list in my head now,and nearly every album is a bit melancholy/bordering on miserable. A reflection on the music that has come out,or my foreboding mood? I dunno!
