New Music Releases Thread

I'm not a fan either and I have the same issue most years with these lists. It really annoys me how similar all the lists are as well when there is more albums getting released this year than ever. Everyone seems to be listening to the same stuff and will only listen to things that are critically acclaimed.

I don't think that's true at all.
I agree. There’s loads out there, and loads of different views
Here we go

The Quietus end of year list always throws up a few gems. And also about 40 records that you'll struggle to believe anyone on earth had heard or enjoyed before.
There are new albums tomorrow from Angel Olsen, Cameron Winter (the front man of Geese), Dua Lipa (live), Lauren Mayberry, Lucinda Williams (Beatles covers), Rosé, White Denim, Nahawa Doumbia, Emilia Sisco, a 4CD 20 years of Sonic Cathedral box set, Fennesz, DeWolff, Chikiss and Duster.

Gazelle Twin also has what should be an interesting remix album out tomorrow. Artists involved include Beak> and Gary Numan.

There is a live Nils Frahm album as well from a show in Paris, aptly named Paris. Seems to be songs off the last 3 records unless I missed anything
Rose’s album should be of interest. She is a member of the Kpop band Black Pink so should very much add to the ‘Girlie’ dominance of 2024 music

The Orchestra (For Now) have released a belting debut signal.

Saw them support Nick Cave last month, their set was all new stuff and it sounded a lot better like. Those live songs they come up with post Isaac/covid were absolutely shite, I walked out of their Northumbria Uni gig with about 20 minutes to go.
Don’t think they’ll reach the first 2 albums again like but there was definitely some improvement.

Paul Heaton put on a superb show in Wolverhampton last night including all the old Housemartins and Beautiful South bangers.
Saw them as well, and was underwhelmed personally. Loved the first 2 albums
He played Glastonbury I think?

My 2024 top artist per Apple Music, Carol Hodge, releases her new album tomorrow too.
It’s Rhian Downey. Scottish singer-songwriter. She has collaborated with Kyle Falconer in the past as well before becoming Paul Heaton’s latest touring/recording co-singer.

Aye glad a managed to fit in one of those socially distanced shows just before they released Ants and he left. They were a canny force live, especially the songs from the second album.
Decent start for EOTR

Yeah, it's a decent start. Always a good lineup anyway.
Haven’t heard Throwing Muses for a while
