Ooh, my mate is putting them on in manc. You going?

 

[Part 2]

Yeah defo. I was looking for tickets earlier but not sure they're available or just on the door?

 

[killer b]

Sounds likely, I dont think he's expecting a capacity crowd.

Teeth of the sea were immense last night, everyone should go and see them: Nottingham tonight, Brighton tomorrow, Cardiff weds or Salford on Friday.

 

[rutabowa]

Due for release this Friday...only a few UK dates.... rutabowa

yeh sounds like my kind of thing, thanks, will give it more of a listen later... where they from?

 

[mwgdrwg]

St Germain - St Germain

Really nice: african vocals and deep jazzy house rhythms


Fuck, they nailed me!

New St Germain?

Boulevard is one of my all time favourite come-down (and sometimes come-up) albums.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

The mixtape by Miss Red and The Bug is very good.

 

[nogojones]

Nice soul/jazz album from Hiatus Kaiyote

Memphis

 

[rutabowa]

Ohh a goner records thing...
It is almost TOO much what i like in a way, like they took a focus group of what makes cool underground punk in 2015 and did everything right ha

Don't know how I missed your mention of them a page back. Just been listening to Highly Deadly Black Tarantula on bandcamp - strong candidate for my top five this year. Definitely best album title so far too

 

[killer b]

Sheffield tonight, Salford tomorrow if either of them are doable for you. Theyre amazing live atm.

 

[billy_bob]

Sadly not, too far. Will play loud at home in lieu.

 

[billy_bob]

Another one I can't work out for sure if I like or not.

Dolores Haze - The Haze is Forever.

Catchy, but in a way that might threaten to sound like a novelty act after repeated listens. Featured in the Guardian's insufferably pretentious but occasionally useful New Band of the Week recently.

 

[killer b]

Are you in London billy_bob? I noticed terminal cheesecake announced a show there in February

 

[billy_bob]

Nope, out in the north east stix.

 

[souljacker]

I cant work out if the new Grimes album is better or worse than visions. Its definitely less fierce/more tuney.

Is it brand new?

I didn't know she had a new one out if so.


Really been enjoying the new Gentlemens Dub Club album.

Yep, brand new.

Jennylee:


= Jenny Lee Lindberg from Warpaint, who did ok in last year's top albums iirc. Solo album out December 11.

 

[Part 2]

Sounds likely, I dont think he's expecting a capacity crowd.

He must be pleased then, it was busy. And pretty damn excellent, chuffed to see them there, not been before and I imagine next time won't be so close up. Sievehead were great too.

 

[redsquirrel]

New Richard Hawley, Hollow Meadows, is growing on me. Initially I thought it was solid but nothing special but over the last few days my opinion of it has grown.

The good folks at Norman Records have posted their top 50 for 2015: https://www.normanrecords.com/features/top-fifty-2015

I've been caning three of their top 5 this year - Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld, Ian William Craig and Steve Hauschildt (bloke from Emeralds) - all excellent.

Will have to have a listen to some of their other tips.

 

[billy_bob]

Ooh, the top 50 lists Always time for a splurge of new listening.

Please post up any others you happen across.

 

[sim667]

Yep, brand new.

Its really rather good.

I've just acquired the Stetson / Neufeld album, it's fucking immense.

 

[Orang Utan]

Aphex's SoundCloud megadump must be up there.

 

[inva]

Rachel Grimes' album The Clearing is one of my favourites of this year

 

[braindancer]

I've just acquired the Stetson / Neufeld album, it's fucking immense.

It is... I had the pleasure of seeing them play most of it live a couple of months ago - the lungs on that Colin Stetson! Fuck me!

 

[killer b]

belboid what's with the AOTY thread (or specifically the lack of one)?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Got the little simz album today..... its wicked.

Thanks for the recommendation sim667 - I bought it and it's pretty much all the way through a proper banger
