2016 album recommendations - too soon?

[Buddy Bradley]

Final one today - I'm actually really enjoying the new Panic! At The Disco record, even thought it's a bit overwrought and silly.

There's a good thread on Reddit about this, if you're looking for some inspiration:

This new mixtape by Kamaiyah is really fun for any hip hop heads. I only downloaded it on Wednesday and I must have listened to it every day since. Get to know urbz.

already posted this but just finally got the record to properly listen to it, The Lavender Flu "Heavy Air", amazing double LP, it contains both weird guitar noise experiments and many pop hits played backwards, this is about the most pop moment on the record, it has an awesome guitar solo


there's lots of weirder stuff and textures tho, it is an album to listen to all the way through, which i normally never do.

Only half way through the first track and I'm already bobbing at my desk with a cheesy grin.... irresistible!

Definitely my favourite of the year so far!

My amp is having a strop so I'm listening through headphones atm, but I'd like to rattle the windows with it before the small gets home from school.

Lumpy & the Dumpers debut "huff my sack" will be Amazing if the 7"s are any indication.

I've actually been very surprised by the new deftones album

September Girls - Age of Indignation

Cursing the Sea (hints of MBV, Mazzy Star, Skeletal Family, and not surprisingly Big Star) was in my top two albums in 2014 so I've been looking forward to this. Haven't had time to pick a track to put up yet, but this is the best from the first album:

I know there's some other people keen on death grips on here, apart from me.

Counter Intuits "Monosyllabilly"

[billy_bob]

heavy vocoder.

Either that or she should really get that hiatus hernia seen to.

No mention of the Anohni album here yet?



I wasn't totally convinced by the first two singles, but the album as a whole is pretty darn good. (sadly the only things you can stream on bandcamp are said two singles). Not the most cheerful listen, pretty harrowing in fact.

A definite grower. She's taken on some big issues!

Antony & the Johnsons' output since I Am a Bird Now didn't do much for me, but both those tracks sound pretty good to me.

e.g.

The whole album's more diverse in sound than the first, not quite as immediate but still has a gloomy, atonal early-Goth sound that I love.

Came here to post this, then saw your post and realised that was where I'd heard about it in the first place.

It's pretty great - not a huge fan of the first two tracks, but the second half of the album is great.

I'd only half-registered that Cavern of Antimatter (Tim Gane from out of Stereolab's band) have a new one out - track on their website are very promising... also a remix by Karen Gwyer who is wonderful.

I've had it on repeat since last Friday. She is the Grayson Perry of music. I am grateful she exists, I saw her at the Barbican a few years ago, she is amazing.

So far, this is the 2nd album after Pusha T's that I would nominate for the album of the year.
