braindancer i saw Slift a few years back I think at Liverpool psych fest. Liked them so much I bought a poster from the merch stand that is long & thin so has never made it into a frame. Need to dig it out.

Have you heard the new album? I can't stop playing it. It's so fucking good! An absolute beast of an album.

For fans of Scott Walker/Lee Hazelwood , the new Maxwell Farrington & Le SuperHomard album Please Wait is a great listen

Another happy 'band I've never heard of' discovery via the Bandcamp home page: this lot seem to make a sort of psychedelic shoegaze which is very appealing. Two tracks up so far.

Sounds interesting but 'le SuperHomard' is one for the 'band names so stupid you refuse to listen to them' thread.

New Sinseers album also coming out in March

True . I can't remeber how I came across them but it was before they linked up with Maxwell Farrington when they did an excellent album Maple Keys . Sort of French electro retro pop influenced by Stereolab .

New album coming out next month from Kim Gordon, of all people - still making challenging noise at 70:

Finally we're starting to get a decent number of new releases on a Friday. Today there's new IDLES out (sounds much the same as their previous output), and a new Grandaddy record, their first one since 2017.

Brittany Howard out of Alabama Shakes has a new album out. This song is house-inflected but there's all sorts of stuff on there.

Looking into it, it does appear that they are actually French, which I reckon makes it several degrees more forgiveable. Or am I going soft?

Enjoying this so far, nice range of styles.

This is lovely..... The Anchorite by Geotic. Gentle little loops of guitar and piano with a nice bit of fuzz. A cozy blanket of an album....

Feels a little Sigur Ros like, just with simpler instrumentation and less Icelandic.

Two crackers out last week:
New album from Swedish jazz trio Fire! is a beast. Bass, guitar and sax. Recorded by Steve Albini. Proper!
Laetita Sadler from Stereolab's new one Rooting for Love - absolutely superb.....
This collab from The Body and Dis Fig also sounding pretty immense but it's fucking dark and I've not quite found the right moment to get through the whole thing yet:

Like what I've heard so far from the new Les Amazones d'Afrique album.

I’m not really a fan of The Body but their collaboration stuff is always fantastic their album with Big Brave is a regular listen. So looking forward to this collaboration.
Listened to the Fire! Record last night, great stuff.

Yeah that Fire! album is really great.
Just listened to The Body collab. It is good but I can't see myself going back to it. Relentlessly harrowing - would be great to see it live but for home listening it's a bit much

bloody furious
Yes - I listened to the Liam Gallagher/John Squire album - after good reviews in the Guardian.
Hmm.. I was underwhelmed. They do sound abit like Led Zeppelin at times, but overall it just sounds like an idea that doesn't really work..
I'll probably give it a couple more listens.. but meh.
From memory there is one very good track on it. Just Another Rainbow..

I've heard it's even better than The Seahorses or Beady Eye.
