New Music Releases Thread

[Arkle]

Saint Etienne's new album is good (sort of ambient indiepop).
The Unthanks' Chritmas album is fun for a month (well, austere Victorian era rural Northumberland fun anyway).
The Tarwater album that came out a while back, but I didn't realise as it only got reviewed in the latest Uncut, is exceptional if you like your post rock slightly electronic with deadpan vocals.

From last week, aside from the Cameron Winters album, which I agree with @James about, White Denim's album is incredibly accessible (whatever that means) and the Chikiss album is weirdly marvellous (largely icy Russian vocals with synthy stuff beneath).

I have high hopes of Straw Man Army based on the new Uncut CD but yet to listen to the album.

Did someone say ‘Aphex Twin compilation release on a Tuesday from his works between 2016-2023’?

No but it’s out and I’ve just put it on

Finally got round to listening to the Cindy Lee album. Rather good that, I can see why it’s been quite high in a lot of end of year polls.

The collectors vinyl?

The collectors vinyl?

Yeah exactly. From all of the shows he did it’s a big collection of the Vinnyls now online. I actually wasn’t aware of any of them being a thing tbh. I’ve started listening to the ones that came out around the Field Day show I went to near the end of the album as a matter of interest. I mean; they’re fine - it’s just Aphex Twin being Aphex Twin

Moin album should've been in my top 10. Just listening to it again. Great stuff.

 

[errant]

[Arkle]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds probably. Tucker Zimmerman runs them close though.

 

[JAZZMANB]

Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan put another record of ambient goodness last Friday too. It's solid as usual, though I've only had chance to give it one listen so far.

Earlier this month Carlisle City Council (Jonathan Sharp) released The Lanes Re-Development which will probably appeal to those who enjoy WRNTDP as it's in similar vein.

As someone with a degree in urban planning, this is my sort of niche. Thanks.
