Album Recommendations: 2024 Edition

[May Kasahara]

Well, that's two big touch points for me Buddy Bradley, I shall give it a listen.

New Porridge Radio announced today, one song up now:

If anyone's desperate to hear more of the album before it comes out, there were a few gigs last year that previewed the new material, can find a bit of them on this person's youtube channel:

Touring in November and playing Brighton. Will go with the fam - we're all partial to a bit of Pozza as we call 'em....

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

e.g. this album is much much better

I agree.
. . . And I don't even really like the first LP. This is up my ally. I'll have to tape it off you.

 

[stavros]

Two hours of nice droney ambience from Steve Roach and someone called theAdelaindean. It's completely free too:

If you like Slumberland jangle, Chime School will be doing some jangling on a record coming out on Slumberland this month, a few tracks up now:

Also touring in October.

 

[stavros]

OK, it's nearly three months to wait, but a new Soccer Mommy album is coming:

New JPEGMAFIA:

 

[May Kasahara]

stavros my 15yo says that's the album of the year.

 

[Dr. Furface]

.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

New JPEGMAFIA:

Been listening to it this week - it "goes hard" as I believe the kids are saying these days...

 

[Buddy Bradley]

stavros my 15yo says that's the album of the year.

My 53 year old says "What is that absolute crap you're listening to?"

 

[stavros]

I like this. Slightly shoegazey in parts, a bit Autechre circa Confield:

 

[Indeliblelink]

Recording of Suzanne Ciani performing a progressive electronic concert in 1974.

There's this one from 1975 too but that came out 2016

 

[hitmouse]

The new Fucked Up is out now:

 

[braindancer]

I always get confused between Fucked Up and Pissed Jeans. I think I've seen both. Will have a listen anyway....

 

[Dr. Furface]

I like this. Slightly shoegazey in parts, a bit Autechre circa Confield:

Yeah you never really know what she'll do next but I wasn't expecting an industrial noise guitar assault - she's mainly done alt-hiphoppy stuff before but I like this new direction which to me sounds like Sunn O))), Fennesz etc

 

[May Kasahara]

My 50yo husband is a huge Charli XCX fan He loves the new album.

Having finally got round to giving it a listen this morning, I'm now firmly on the Brat train It's great.

 

[braindancer]

I like this. Slightly shoegazey in parts, a bit Autechre circa Confield:

I spent a nice hour last weekend lying in my garden listening to this. Not sure it will get regular play but it's definitely a trip...

 

[SpookyFrank]

This new album from Esperanza Spalding and Milton Nascimento sounds rather nice.

 

[stavros]

I'm normally sceptical of posthumous albums, as they usually seem like money-spinners for whoever inherited or bought the rights to the deceased's music.

However the final Ryuichi Sakamoto is lovely:

 

[stavros]

If you liked Beabadoobee's first two albums, you'll like her new one:

 

[redsquirrel]

New Laura Cannell may be my favourite album if the year so far - certainly helping me destress after a horrible week. More minimalist its still beautiful

 

[May Kasahara]

Missing the Beastie Boys? You could do a lot worse than this collection of rave-tinged hip hop from Joey Valance & Brae. Great fun and doesn't outstay its welcome.

Interesting. Just from the Spotify clips I was hearing a bit of Licenced to Ill, a bit of Cypress Hill, and a bit of Tribe.

Fontaines' new one is out today.

 

[marty21]

Fontaines' new one is out today.

Played it twice , fucking love it. Seems very different to the other 3 , in a great way.

 

[hitmouse]

If you like jangle, then this might be up your street:

Sludge metal/hardcore lot 1986 also have their debut EP out, it's not very jangly though:

 

[marty21]

Jeff Finlin has a new one out, liking it very much

 

[flypanam]

[stavros]
