Will be blaring Deathcrash tonight

Crack Cloud playing the cluny in may

That's a gig you can't miss, they're sensational live. Waiting for a London gig announcement...

Just gave this deathcrash record a go. It's good, potentially very good. I won't lie though my first thought was that they could have cut it back to about 40 minutes (shock I know). There's at least 2/3 tracks that feel unnecessary. First listen though, I'm sure it'll grow.

Went to see Mandrake Handshake last night, they're a lot of fun. Supported by Maripool and Honeyglaze who were both good.

Astrel K the other night was topper as well. Rhys from Ulrika Spacek doing melodic, slightly 70s tinged pop. Female backing vocals were a nice touch. Record out in April so one to keep an eye on.
 
My pre-order of Cate Le Bon's Pompeii has arrived early. Intended playing it loads before it's properly out (4/2) but I might have to return it as faulty. Not a vinyl expert, but there's some nasty noises.on one side. Anyway, I hear and see a Bowie influence on her most recent single Remembering Me.

Odd, someone posted a few days ago on Insta their preorder vinyl of the Reds, Pinks, and Purples new one and that’s not meant to be out until next week either (digitally - the physical is meant to be a month or so later!)

They're continuing without him

Don't have much luck with lead singers that group of mates...

Agree with you on Larkin Poe - although one the first listen I thought it was a bit MOR compared to the last one, but on repeated listens I actually think it’s one of their best.

I’ll give Coriky a go too, didn’t realise it was Ian Mackaye’s latest project.

I’ve also found out about a band called Riskee & The Ridicule this week. They refer to themselves as grime-punk and it’s very political, if not particularly groundbreaking rap-rock. Their latest album is about a year old and I’m enjoying it a lot

Saw Riskee for the third time on Friday, and their new album had passed me by. I love them. I'm hooked on this:

A bumper crop of new releases this week for me to listen to:

Helen Love: the umpteenth album from the Welsh legend. A few less synths and more horns on this but still the same indiepop formula.
Paul Draper: him from Manson is back with some politically atuned indie rock. Anthemic at times.
deathcrash: interesting, a little overlong and maybe a touch one paced. I'm not as big a fan as some on here.
Josephine Foster: psychfolk that's bewitching at times.
Modern Nature: eventually released on something than recycled rhubarb leaves. It's very, very good indeed, sort of folk jazz about nature.
Anais Mitchell: nice, well constructed folk type stuff. Good but not great.
TIm Hecker: the score from The North Water. It's been out for a while (just got a physical release). Lush, ambient soundscapes.
Simone Felice: excellent, a mix of poems over music and gentle folkish songs.
Andrew Scott Young, Ryan Jewell & Ryley Walker: another twist in RW's career. Jazzish instrumentals that sometimes nudge toward post-rock.
Bas Jan: intriguing post-punkish vibes. Very good.
The Diasonics: a mix of funk, jazz and psychedelia from Russia. Well worth a listen.
Eels: a fairly upbeat Eels album. You kind of know the score now
Imarhan: Tuareg rock, very good. Quite hooky.
Aoife O'Donovan: nice enough, if unspectacular, indie folk type tunes.
Brent Cobb: old school country rock, with occasional religion thrown in. Quite enjoyable!
Black Flower: Ethiopian influenced jazz from Belgium. Enjoyable!
Combo Chimbita: New York/Colombian Latin influenced rock. Very good.
North Mississippi Allstars: the same bluesy Americana they've always tended toward. Well made and enjoyable.
Group Listening: I really like this. A mix of easy listening, jazz and weird folk instrumentals. Fun for the family!
Silverbacks: came out last week. Slackerish American indie rock, excellent at its best, a tad hmmm at times as well.
Pinegrove: good but not great American indierock, beloved of college kids probably.
Wasuremono: a companion to last year's album (literally part 2 of it). Really enjoyable again.
Barbican Estate: sort of psychedelic rock from Tokyo (I think). I like it.
Heavenly Remixes 3 & 4: an Andrew Weatherall special. Really good stuff from the master of the remix.
C91: the latest of Cherry Red's C86 type compilations. This focuses on 1991, a time when Manchester had happened and Britpop hadn't really begun. Takes me back to my youth(ish)!

Album of the week: tricky one this. I'll say Group Listening.
