Your favourite album this year
W.H.Lung - Incidental Music
Your favourite all time for anything
The New Pornographers' new one is great too. "In the morse code of brake lights."
The New Pornographers’
Wow, they still at it?
Musical-families mention for Dan Bejar’s (Destroyer) ‘Rubies’. He’s probably ‘Marmite’ I expect, but I’ve played it to death for over a decade.
Michael Kiwanuka’s new album is something very special.
I concur, it’s a great album. If you have an ear for soul OP try Black Pumas self titled debut, a brilliant album. If you fancy giving country another go Sturgill Simpson’s Sound and Fury might help you change your position on it. Even has an accompanying anime if you have Netflix.
Clippings latest is a dark album, but has some good tunes. I’m still trying to figure out if I like MCID from Highly Suspect.
Just to make sure my music posts are consistent, listen to Clutch.
Dream Wife, Pearl Harts, Fea, Ukepunk, The Donnas, Downtown Boys, Liines (not a typo), Gangstagrass.
Lots to work through there so thanks a lot
Love cold little heart and love and hate so definitely trying Micheal Kiwanuka’s new album, just noticed the black keys have a new album too
If you haven't been following "Underworld - Drift" over the past year then the new "Drift Series 1 Sampler" may be worth a listen, Ive had it on repeat for the past few days and it's bloody excellent, i had nothing better to do this afternoon so just back in from a long drive through the back roads of the galloway hills whilst listening to it very loud on my tiguan dynaudio system, perfectly soundtracked the scenery as the sun went down.
Sudan Archives has a beautiful sound and has just released her debut album Athena
Bran Van 3000 have always interested me, especially their first 2 albums

In desperation to get away from film music and games music on R3 and Cfm on Saturday afternoon I discovered and to my surprise I find myself liking R6 Music 15.00 onwards followed by Craig Charles. Funk and Soul are great while prepping and cooking.
Particularly would recommend Ashley Henry and others from the new jazz movement.

DezB approves 😀

Everyone should own at least one album by The Beta Band, the 3ep is a good place to start
Very much this.
I get the new stuff from Radio 6 and the huuuuuge linky music thread on here.
It's ace.
Let the spotify algorithms find it for you? The more you use spotify the better they get and I find it very good at finding me new music that I like.
On the back of mentions on this thread i've bought "Michael Kiwanuka" & "Fontaines DC - Dogrel", both bloody excellent, I'd been meaning to check them out but the prompts above (and purchase of the new airpods) piqued my interest enough to give them a listen.
Dance music seems to be in a pretty good place at the moment.
Stumbled across this the other day, brilliant track and sounds like an absolute classic from the early/mid '90s...
I check out thequietus.com for loads of new musical trails, especially the Baker's Dozen feature where artists list their fave 13 albums and say why. Richard Dawson did his recently leading me to Endless Boogie and some more.
Be prepared for some real weird shit though.
only thing off limits would be country
You are missing out, try Townes Van Zandt Live at the Old Quarter.
This week is all about Slowly Rolling Camera.

Nathan Micay's Blue Spring album is top
@DezB I'm honored that my musical taste meets your approval. She's ace, eh? Definitely one to listen out for
I'm the opposite, I find Spotify is ace for looking for new music, and there is tons of it out there.
Recommend the following random bands/acts from a wide spectrum of music- not all new but some that may have passed you by and still worth checking out.
Temples, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Shame, Public Practice, Avalon Emerson, Jagwar Ma, Bodega, Parcels, Julia Jacklin, Helado Negro, Sinkane, Idles, Drugdealer, Confidence Man, The Chats, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Ezra Furman, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Boy Azooga, Altin Gun, Big Thief, The Comet is coming, Durand Jones & The Indications, The Beths & Whitney.
In addition to the above, the latest Hot Chip and Chemical Brothers are two of the best records of the year.
Enjoy!
Came across Katzenjammer randomly on youtube the other day and I've been listening to them non-stop ever since.
I like a bit of moody band music at the mo
Try
Oxbow - Thin Black Duke
And Tropical **** Storm (again)
This week is all about Slowly Rolling Camera.
Good call, I'm listening to Juniper now.
By 'new' do you mean breaking artists or simply newly released stuff?
If the latter, I am really enjoying the new Elbow album - I had never never been a fan of them until now but thought I would try it out and within seconds I was thinking 'ohhh, this sounds like early Peter Gabriel solo stuff'. It turns out they are quite pally, have covered each other's stuff a bit and Guy Carvey was heavily influenced by Gabriel as a teenager.
Currently running this on repeat at the moment...

Cheers. I did check out a fair bit of his other stuff, all good with amazing production values - but a bit more on the "intelligent techno" side.
The track I linked takes me back to classics like this...
Ever since seeing Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes live I'm hooked
A quick blast of some stuff I've been enjoying
Guitary
Not guitary

Find an album list you like the look of, and work through it from last to first:

No cheating: even if you don't like the artist you have to listen to the full album.
2019: Annie B Sweet, supporting act to the Temples upcoming tour.

All-time: just work through one of the lists mentioned above. This one's a decent start: http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/nme_d&d.html#50DIE
this song is awesome must listen to it.
Damn you Dez, I thought that might more new Brambles. They have released a single Spirits quite recently so I am hoping for an album at some point.
I've gone a bit obsessive lately, and been organising my playlists by year:

I meant new to me, it could be an album from 1970 for all I care, I’ve been enjoying the perfect album thread and listening to radio 6 weekly playlist and radio 6 top 100 mostly this week, enjoyed some of the stuff on this thread too but too much to get through at the moment
Thanks for all your input so far though guys
A fellow Katzenjammer fan! Never thought I'd see the day! If you like them, Sol Heilo's solo stuff is good. She's brilliant live.
Been turned on to Allie X this week, after catching the tail end of her supporting Marina. Whose new album is also ace, in an upbeat '90s sort of way.

Damn you Dez, I thought that might more new Brambles. They have released a single Spirits quite recently so I am hoping for an album at some point.
Indeed! The comeback made me revisit the old album (7 years ago?!) - definitely a new one in the pipeline.
Pom Poko - "Birthday" is my fav album (and gig) of the year. Slightly quirky guitar pop from Norway.
This is probably a bit niche but there might be appreciative ears on STW. Andy Stott - It Should Be Us
Nothing is too niche for STW ! 😉
How right you are.
Temples, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Shame, Public Practice, Avalon Emerson, Jagwar Ma, Bodega, Parcels, Julia Jacklin, Helado Negro, Sinkane, Idles, Drugdealer, Confidence Man, The Chats, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Ezra Furman, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Boy Azooga, Altin Gun, Big Thief, The Comet is coming, Durand Jones & The Indications, The Beths & Whitney.
A large proportion of those I first heard on 6Music some time back. Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Ezra Furman and Big Thief I saw at Greenman a couple of years back, and Big Thief again more recently in Bristol. Adrianne Lenker has a great solo album out as well.
A fellow Katzenjammer fan! Never thought I’d see the day!
Great live band, seen them in Bristol and watching them swap instruments with each other and playing them so well really shows their talents as musicians, as well as being great singers.
Love them!
New to me...
and
Will give them a try after work
Thanks
