A since deleted tweet, which suggests we're not meant to know about something quite exciting yet:

Hard to believe but I’m just a little excited.

hell, I'd even go to buy tickets for one of their gigs if it was put on by Barry Hogan

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

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:

Is this the soundtrack to that film of his last performance?

 

[May Kasahara]

Kim Deal has a solo album out in November. Single here:

 

[May Kasahara]

Also Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings have a new one out. Standard issue Americana loveliness here.

Three in a row! Completely forgot Seefeel have put a new album out after 13 years' hiatus - obviously it's wonderful.

 

[stavros]

I've got the Seefeel, but haven't listened to it yet. Today is a good day for releases, with COLD GAWD (see shoegaze thread) and Murcof:

 

[Indeliblelink]

The new Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album, Wild God, is up on their Youtube channel.
Will give it a listen tomorrow.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I just hope they put the dying walrus who did the vocals out of its misery after they finished recording that

 

[stavros]

Is this the soundtrack to that film of his last performance?

Yep.

 

[Hollis]

The new Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album, Wild God, is up on their Youtube channel.

I'm liking this album alot! Good to see less prominence to electronic doodlings and more piano, drums!

 

[Buddy Bradley]

2nd album from Wunderhorse who I'd not come across before - tuneful indie rock:

 

[pbsmooth]

Bandcamp Friday today too.

 

[hitmouse]

Turns out Crack Cloud had a new album out in July:


Cindy have a new EP out in October, two tracks up now:

 

[Favelado]

The new Nala Sinephro album is even better than her debut. Electronica-tinged space jazz - and if that sounds pretentious just have a listen and you'll forgive me. A wonderful record.

 

[redsquirrel]

Just listened to the new Mercury Rev - better than anything they've done for a long time

 

[braindancer]

Loving MJ Lenderman's new album of lovely alt-Americana...

 

[braindancer]

Went to End of The Road and spent a nice hour chilling to the very nice country rock sounds of Brown Horse. Checked out their album this afternoon and liked it muchly.

 

[May Kasahara]

Yes! Been waiting for this, and it's great. Can't believe I didn't know he was in Wednesday though who I also love.

My daughter informed me about this ....

Google Earth - Street View. One of the most interesting things I've heard recently (all year, actually) is this collab between John Vanderslice and James Riotto - it's sort of electro-pop-jazz-tronica and I like it more each time I hear it. Available on Youtube or on bandcamp where you can pay what you like for it.

 

[Indeliblelink]

New one from Colin Stetson out today - "The Love It Took To Leave You"


Also one out from Party Dozen. They're playing London in Nov which I'm tempted to go to, with support from Water Damage who had one out earlier this year of long droney, sludgey kraut-noise-rock tracks, I rather like.

Seeing them in November. Will need to listen.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

There's a new Trentemoller album, Dreamweaver. Couple of tracks in and I'm liking it. Seems to be a bit softer, more acoustic than his previous stuff.

 

[mwgdrwg]

The new Floating Points ia a banger!

 

[stavros]

Lovely, long orchestral drone from Sarah Davachi:

 

[braindancer]

Paradise Cinema - one of the chaps from Portico Quartet with a bunch of other contributors....

Super lush ambient/electronic/jazz - mmmmm

 

[stavros]

New Mogwai single, with no doubt an album to follow:

 

[May Kasahara]

New Katy J Pearson out in September.

This is out today. I tried listening to it this morning and couldn't make it past song 3 - found it infuriatingly twee and uninspiring

I am a bad tempered hag atm though, maybe I should try again during half term or something.

 

[braindancer]

Currently half-way through the new Monolake album that came out a few weeks ago. Only just heard about it. Woah - it's fucking great. Super deep atmospheric techno / electronica. The sounds are stunning - so many textures to get lost in.... hurrah!
