Album Recommendations: 2024 Edition

[belboid]

New Slim Cessna's Auto Club out, continuation of their Lupercalia series

hmm, I'd buy it but the vinyl comes to £33 and even a CD is £21. Bit too spenny

 

[braindancer]

Blimey, there’s a new Jesus Lizard coming out

Touring in Jan and playing Brighton ! Woop.

Leeds sold out in seconds but I got in in time for Manchester

 

[redsquirrel]

The Brudenell is a great venue but Leeds really needs something larger than it but not so large as to not to be filled by independent artists

Pleasantly surprised to see a new High Llamas album, Hey Panda, 8 years since their last one. Presumably this is the single.

Been listening to this a lot over the last few days , never really listened to them before , so have been listening to other stuff too. It's a lovely album.

New Fucked Up out in August, single out now:


Can't say I wildly love the song from one listen so far, but I suppose you can't write David Comes To Life every time. For Hackney fans, you do at least get a London Borough of Hackney bin or skip in the video.

New Dirty Three coming out in June - first for 12 years!
The39thStep you're another fan IIRC

Well remembered . Haven’t played any of there stuff for a few years .

 

[braindancer]

I was listening to Ocean Songs just the other day. I fucking love the Dirty Three

 

[redsquirrel]

No tour dates for UK yet but fingers crossed

 

[braindancer]

And if they do tour I hope Warren Ellis has given up his gross habit of spitting in the air and letting the spit fall on his face. He did this loads last time I saw them. Just no. Great music though....

 

[The39thStep]

Surprise, surprise. New Idaho album Lapse. The first in 14 years

 

[braindancer]

Oooooh there's a new Skee Mask album out today....

I've just hit play. It's bound to be awesome!

 

[braindancer]

Skee Mask album is superb - absolutely gorgeous from start to finish... just listened 3 times in a row... could be up there with Compro. Top marks...

 

[rutabowa]

ski mask (the slump god) also just put a new album out

 

[stavros]

I've almost completed my first listen, and I can confirm that the new µ-Ziq album is excellent:

 

[Hollis]

I am liking this a lot.

 

[stavros]

The new Black Dog is consistently good, without being earth-shattering:



The new Mono is extremely good:

 

[May Kasahara]

Only just got round to this, and I'm aware it's not necessarily to everyone's tastes on this thread, but I love Kacey Musgraves' new album. Much more than her last one, which seemed to get much more critical acclaim.

 

[stavros]

I'm pretty sure there are some Bug fans on here, so you might be interested in his collaboration, as KRM, with soundscaper KMRU:

 

[flypanam]

I’m not a massive fan of Efrim’s collaboration stuff but this sounds decent



The ‘all hands make light’ stuff is great though.

 

[neonwilderness]

I'm enjoying this live album from Lankum that was released today

Oooh yeah - thanks for the reminder.

 

[hitmouse]

Just realised the new Kneecap is out now, officially their first album if you don't count the mixtape, sounding good from a first listen:

 

[flypanam]

The new Mono is extremely good:

That’s the best Mono record in quite a while.

 

[danny la rouge]

Been listening to the Mono a lot.

Out today. Just had my first - admittedly somewhat distracted by work - listen. It's perhaps not quite as immediate as some previous albums - quite a bit of fairly abstract tinkering but I reckon it will be a grower.

 

[hitmouse]

Bit of a "best of 2024 so far across varied genres" post here, lots that look interesting and I'd not heard of, reminds me that I've still not got around to listening to the new Waxahatchee:


And new Xiu Xiu comes out in September, one track up now:

 

[May Kasahara]

New Vince Staples is a woozy delight.
