Echoes of the Paul Ross print in that review.Wardruna - if you only listen to one Norwegian doomfolk album this year, make it this one. Probably not the soundtrack to a dinner party but I like it.
New stuff I've listened to this week:
Bicep - it's good. To my untrained ear, they sound a lot like Orbital.
James Yorkston & the Second Hand Orchestra - I'm a fan of Yorkston. Not sure this differs vastly from his albums with others (apart from Yorkston/Thorne/Khan). Some of it is very lovely indeed.
Kiwi Jr - excellent. They stick to their Pavement/Modern Lovers mix of jangle and punk (pangle?) and embelish and evolve it.
Still Corners - very good again. Sort of shoegaze/dreampop but with songs and melodies. If you like Beach House, you'll like Still corners.
Urban Village - there's a bit of a Paul Simon circa Graceland vibe to this. A really enjoyable meld of western and African folk traditions.
Coldharbourstores - more dreampop. Also, female fronted. There's a bit of New Order type bass on there at times. Worth a listen. Think it came out late last year.
Wardruna - if you only listen to one Norwegian doomfolk album this year, make it this one. Probably not the soundtrack to a dinner party but I like it.
John Dwyer, Nick Murray, Brad Caulkins, Tom Dolas & Greg Coates - JD normally comes up with catchier names for his bands. This is experimental and largely instrumental. Kind of psychedelic jazz.
Farmer Dave & the Wizard of the West - it's a week for long band names. Farmer Dave has played with Kurt VIle, Beachwood Sparks and others but has now gone frontman. This is a rollickingly enjoyable album of US indie guitar stuff with slight psychedelic undertones. Tis good.
Some long band names there. I'll give AOTW to Yorkston, I think.
Edit: the Soul Jazz Cuban thing is physical only, from what I can tell, so that's on order.
was a long interview with James Yorkston on Tom Robinson‘s show on 6music on Saturday, he’s had an interesting career
