New Music Releases Thread


Alright, you gonks, here is my regular review of the new and newish stuff I've listened to this week:

Duster: slowcoreish indie rock, a bit artsy and pretty good.
Walt Disco: much beloved of someone at Rough Trade shops. This is sparky (and occasionally Sparksy) electropop. Enjoyable.
Rheinzand: continental electro-disco pop fun with occasional motorik overtones. This is great, like The Liminanas jamming with LCD Soundsystem.
Hannah Peel & Paraorchestra: neo-classical electronica, very good TBH.
Michael Weston King: an old school countyr troubador, this is the gentle sound of Americana.
Noon Garden: psychedelic pop, reminds me a little of Spellling in spirit, if not musically.
Confidence Man: clever danceable pop. I don't like at much as their debut but there have only been a few albums I've liked as much as their debut.
Pastor Champion: religious blues basically. A good album TBH.
Alabaster Deplume: jazz, spoken word vocals, art house. Very good but maybe a track or two over long.
Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway: Molly Tuttle's first full on venture into bluegrass. It's a rollicking ride and a lot of fun.
Christian Lee Hutson: singer-songwriter, sort of folkish and also a little bit pop. Reminds me of Elliott Smith. Interesting.
M Ross Perkins: I'm liking this a lot. Psychedelic pop. His third album, seemingly.
Warmduscher: sleazy, danceable pop. I always like the semi-spoken American vocals on their songs.
Pillow Queens: a good solid indie-rock album. Not sure it's quite as strong as their debut.
Paul Cauthen: country merged with glamrock, kind of. Nothing as strong as his magnificent 'Cocaine Country Dancing' but it's a fun album.
Sondre Lerche: 80+ minutes long but it doesn't seem it. A very lovely album. A bit Sufjanish in parts.
Pup: situationist punk. Reminds me a little of Titus Andronicus,
Desaparecidos: a very intense live set from Conor and his gang.

Album of the week: Rheinzand gets it this time round. M Ross Perkins and Sondre Lerche on the podium.
 
It's a big week for new releases.

Also, Pavement's extended re-release of Terror Twilight, Farewell Horizontal, is out.

Rheinzand on first listen didnt live up to their previous record ( which was ace ) but I need to give it another go
