Carcass - Surgical Steel.
For RichPenny:
Repetitive loops of acid tinged grooves. Somehow there are recognisable songs emerging from this sound. A DFA release, but not typical DFA. Duuno really, its just different and thats what I'm always on the look for!
Good article: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1887
Oh yeah, The Foals album is definitely on the list, thanks for,reminding me, person who doesn't like them!.
I heard this cover of the Fela Kuti track "sorrow, tears & blood" on Gilles Peterson last week and it is being featured on a new compilation album "red hot + fela" in aid of [url= http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/08/28/fela-kuti-gets-his-due-on-red-hot-fela-song-premiere/ ]Red Hot's Aids/Hiv program[/url].
For those of you who haven't heard the song before give it a listen all the way through and pay attention to the lyrics, then go and find out why the song was wrote by Fela, sobering stuff.
One of my fav songs since i heard it, and been on pretty much constant repeat for the last week or so, the compilation album is going to be a cracker.
Another good one that's been on repeat is [url=
Freddys Drop : Mother - Mother[/url] taken from their recent "Blackbird" album,
Arghhhhhh, i give up........
Just saw Chvrches on jools Holland, googled and saw their album was out yesterday. Googled a bit more and they came up on this thread, with folks hoping they had a decent album's worth of songs in them.
Do they? Am I going to the record shop at lunchtime?
So, somafunk are you recommending Blackbird by Fat Freddy's Drop as an album of the year? Cos er, that's what the thread's about. Not individual tracks, or albums that haven't been released yet! 😆
[i]hoping they had a decent album's worth of songs in them.
Do they? Am I going to the record shop at lunchtime?[/i]
Yeah, I'd say its decent. Not mindblowing, but certainly decent.
Kodaline
Arctic Monkeys
Imagine Dragons
The Weekend - not sure if 2013 though
the record shop
Takes me back......
Course' i am DezB 😉 - Blackbird is a stunning album, Mother-Mother is just one standout track among many, and i've heard most of the tracks on the Fela Kuti/Red Hot Fela compilation as i'm subscribed to an afrobeat music blog, the Fela album may perhaps not be to everyones taste but i get into it.
And churches are ace..... Lauren was in blue sky archives before churches, they played at our local wickerman festival last year in the go-north tent and despite going on first thing in the afternoon drew a decent crowd, lauren has a fantastic live voice and it doesn't hinder her that she's a very unassuming cutie 😳
I am waiting for Trentemoller's new album to drop through my letterbox. I have purposefully avoided listening to any of it online so it is all new and fresh for the drive to work.
Made up Mind - Tedeschi Trucks Band
Shake the Walls - Marcus Bonfanti
Mister P - Member

I've listened to it online and... nah, won't ruin it for you 😉
Still Clutch - Earth Rocker for me. Although I'm yet to hear the new Ty Segall album/project Fuzz. I've heard a couple of tracks on it and they're awesome.
Dirty North - Down in the Game
First official release by Wythenshawe's rap/reggae three piece.
Pay what you like for the download...

Cheers DezB. It's either going to be fantastic or a massive let down, I don't think it can be middle ground. I have tickets to see him in London in November so I am desperately hoping it is not disappointing.
Not an album but the latest [url= https://soundcloud.com/audioglider/audioglider-mixtape-vol-12 ]Audioglider Mixtape[/url] is pretty damn good if you like electronica.
Good to see The Joy Formidable getting a couple of mentions but I'll go for "If you wait" by London Grammar.
The latest QOTSA album is superb.
