New Music Releases Thread

[Mickdundee]

Must be on a bit of a downer atm, as apart from the Flaming Lips (good, not great) nothing in there actually appeals to me, apart from perhaps Bill Baird and The Quiet Temple. . As ever, thanks for the heads-up and run-down though @Arkle

I’ve barely listened to anything brand new for weeks. This year as a whole has been pretty disappointing IMO.

As big as a Flaming Lips fan as I am, the only word I can think of is insipid

They would release a 80 minute medley of wayne coyne on the bog the day after ten pints and a phal with a narration by william shatner, they don't give a fuck

They’re brilliant live mind. Bar once, when they were f***ing dreadful

Think it’s my fourth as well. I’ll give that a listen. Looking forward to Self Esteem (my favourite live show I can remember in ever), Squid and Nov3l

Pigs x7 should be fun.

Saw Squid twice last week. Emperors new clothes music

I really like him, maybe partly because of that.

Which one is most like Mull of Timperley?

well, 'Earth Into Aether' is my favourite but I'm not sure that's the most Frankish.

It's been shite. I keep thinking I'm missing some obvious stuff but every mid year poll I've seen is full of stuff that is very meh

Last week of July. New releases tomorrow. Albums from: Andy Grammer, BJ the Chicago Kid, Chance the Rapper, Clark, Cuco, Lloyd Cole, Mini Mansions, Of Monsters and Men, Only Child Tyrant (an Amon Tobin project), Soundgarden (a live album), Sugar Ray, Thy Art is Murder, Violent femmes, YBN Cordae, Society of the Silver Cross, Bill Ryder-Jones (alternate versions of songs from his last album), Angie McMahon, De Lorians, Rosalie Cunningham, Sarathy Korwar, Chuck Cleaver and Chris Gantry.

Unlike others, I've quite enjoyed the quieter last few weeks. It's allowed me to catch up with stuff I've missed and explore things I might have ignored.

The Biffy soundtrack album is also out in physical form, I believe (I really like it - it's more like a Biffy album than a movie soundtrack, but if you don't like Biffy....)

Will tread carefully with this one...

I don't see a mention on the June 15 list but apparently The Orwells put out a new album. Obviously, split up in controversial circumstances last year. It's on Spotify, but I have not listened to it. Purely posting for informational purposes.
