Album Recommendations: 2024 Edition

[The39thStep]

A Certain Ratio, now stripped down to three founding members is a return to an earlier sound

 

[rutabowa]

I found / find it quite interesting / innovative and I really like her voice (and a lot of the lyrical hooks/flow) . . . but I find myself not actually 'enjoying' it.

tbh I agree, I have not listened to it again after thinking "wow this is amazing".

 

[rutabowa]

I got this via facebook advertising algorithm but it is a nice song... like Low mixed with dinosaur jr. their other songs seem a bit shit tho, it is the vocal harmonies that make it and the guy doesn't seem to sing on the other stuff.

 

[inva]

I don't think Kelly Moran's new album Moves in the Field has been mentioned yet, lovely atmospheric piano

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

The most professional outing for Dsablu yet, but not as melodic and driving as my favourite tracks (which seem to only exist on home made tapes).

 

[May Kasahara]

This new Lucy Rose album seems fairly pleasant.

Yes, been waiting for this and it's really lovely.

 

[braindancer]

Oren Ambarchi and collaborators new album is sounding superb...

Hypnotic instrumental droney jazz vibes to get lost in.

 

[nogojones]

Some nice broken beat from Bruk Rogers (Zero-T)

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Fat White Family have a new album out today - never really listened to them before (only aware of them from the lengthy thread on here) but it's pretty good so far:

 

[stavros]

New µ-Ziq album coming in June, and a new Fontaines DC soon, for anyone interested.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Fat White Family have a new album out today - never really listened to them before (only aware of them from the lengthy thread on here) but it's pretty good so far:

Had a couple of listens and enjoying it so far. See them live if you get the chance.

 

[Indeliblelink]

Another kick-arse album from Melts "Field Theory". Playing the Moth Club in Hackney next week, I might well have to try get a ticket.

 

[rutabowa]

Fat White Family have a new album out today - never really listened to them before (only aware of them from the lengthy thread on here) but it's pretty good so far:

they've lost the musically most interesting member, amongst most of the others, so I can't see it as the original band at all really and it doesn't have much of interest to me any more... so it will probably be their biggest album.

but I only really loved their first album which all the big reviews seem to say is shit, so what do I know.

 

[mwgdrwg]

This is out now and it's absolutely gorgeous.

Had this on repeat the last few weeks, it's great. Thanks for the heads-up!

 

[New New Nothing]

Just seen the almost-always-excellent Pagans label has dropped a couple of new albums since I last looked. Listening to this one now by Marion Cousin and Eloise Decazes.
If you like Nico, Lankum, Volcano the Bear, it'll probably float your boat. Trad-folk harmonies with a bunch of spanners thrown in the increasingly dissonant works.

e.g. this album is much much better

 

[Indeliblelink]

The new Kamasi Washington album "Fearless Movement" is a remarkable fusion of spiritual jazz, rap, soul & funk. Guests include George Clinton, André 3000 & Thundercat. Maybe his most accessible yet.

 

[Indeliblelink]

More jazz, the second album from Jasmine Myra, out of Leeds. Lovely relaxing stuff.

 

[braindancer]

While we're on a jazz tip it seems remiss that nobody has posted the new Shabaka album.

Perceive it's beauty, acknowledge it's grace.

Shabaka has exchanged his sax for a flute and it's wonderful....

 

[SpookyFrank]

The Afterlands album 'We Are The Animals in the Night' is out today. Here's another song...

 

[Buddy Bradley]

New Iglooghost album out today, if you like glitchy electronica - not as immediately brilliant as Neo Wax Bloom, but definitely needs a few listens:

 

[May Kasahara]

More jazz, the second album from Jasmine Myra, out of Leeds. Lovely relaxing stuff.

Very nice indeed, thanks for the tip.

 

[flypanam]

Les Savy Fav’s Qui is pretty good and Colin Stetson has anew one coming out soon. It’s on preorder on Bandcamp.

 

[May Kasahara]

New Bat for Lashes album out at the end of this month First single is gorgeous...



Second single sounds like Taylor Swift! And why not

 

[danny la rouge]

Julia Holter - Something in the Room She Moves

 

[heinous seamus]

I see Jake Xerxes Fussell has a new album out in July:

 

[starfish]

Oh my fucking lord. Theres a new The The album, Ensoulment, coming out in September. The first one this century. It has been pre-ordered.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

I almost didn't realise it was Friday! Beth Gibbons' new album is out today.

 

[belboid]

and the Ex-Easter Island Head album is out and marvellous too

 

[braindancer]

Yes! Just had my first listen. It's exquisite! What a treat... looking forward to seeing them in a couple of weeks
