Album Recommendations 2018

[redsquirrel]

There's a new one by Beak> out too.

 

[Sweet FA]

I think maybe I thought he was George Ezra. Who tbh I'd probably go and see if he played my local now too, Shotgun is a solid gold banger.

All the kids at school: "I've been riding shotgun, underneath the hot sun YOUR MUM!!!!"

 

[killer b]

the kids in the back of my car, also.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Ezra Furman's "trans angelic upstarts" album from earlier this year. It isn't my usual thing, but something about it is grabbing me having just put it on randomly this evening... it is def quite an achievement.

It’s not as good as Perpetual Motion People, but is still damned fine. As said elsewhere, just something else live too.

Took my 13 year old ‘gender nonconforming’ niece to see him last year, and she just fell in love.

Mudhoney have a new one out, and I read a good review of it.

I'll give that a go. They went full Hawkwind around the mid-'00s - haven't heard anything they've done (if anything) since then.

Once I'd translated their Pseud's Corner entry of a review, I think Wire said it was back to their grunge roots. Maybe the whole genre is having an Indian summer, as Alice in Chains have just released a new one too. Shoegaze did it a couple of years ago, with Ride and Slowdive, and MBV not long before.

Mudhoney were always my favourite band of that scene. They just sound so strung-out. I listened to Superfuzz for the first time in years a few weeks ago and I thought it had held up well. Appalling production, but that's part of the charm.

 

[TruXta]

Mudhoney you say?

Saw them live about 14 years ago, fantastic live experience.

I gave perpetual motion a quick listen today and it is good, but Im now convinced after a few more listens that this new one is total genius! Every song is gold, it is a proper classic album.

I hate George Ezra.

No new music here. I'm concentrating on my PJ Harvey back catalogue at the moment.

 

[belboid]

Only just noticed there's a new Spiritualized out. It's quite enjoyable.

 

[Favelado]

Jungle - For Ever on XL Recordings. Just listening for first time. 80's groove/house rhythms/pop/soul. Some decent tracks so far and has its own sound to it. I haven't heard of this act before, so quite impressed.

 

[Athos]

I hate George Ezra.

I genuinely think this is why Ezra Furman isn't more widely liked!

 

[MBV]

New The Field album is out today: Infinite Moment

(Not Field Music!)

 

[butchersapron]

It's great roxy pop but it's ain't nothing else. I think the first one was better (he's here every other week anyway)

It sounds like them. The new mogwai sounds like themselves too but with more less guitars.

 

[Athos]

Nah, it's better than that, I reckon.

 

[butchersapron]

I have liked this week the mattiel one

 

[butchersapron]

Nah, it's better than that, I reckon.

Better than roxy or better than the first one?

 

[Athos]

Both.

 

[butchersapron]

The first you can just die for. The second, well there you go

 

[killer b]

Ezra Furman is better than Roxy Music? That's quite a claim.

 

[Athos]

 

[butchersapron]

Sort of crazy thing rutabowa would say while saying he's never heard any roxy

 

[belboid]

Year of No Returning? Probalby the weakest of the four, imo.

There's worse ones with the harpoons even before that, but this is the proper ezra now. And that one was the re-birth.

 

[belboid]

Yeah, I've heard them, but decided against buying.

 

[rutabowa]

I've heard a "best of".... pretty good... are you suggesting that ezra furman is some kind of proxy music?

 

[killer b]

This has prompted me to stick Roxy's Avalon on, which I picked up on tape last week.

Which will kill this silliness. It's worst roxy but better than furman
