Think I might have posted about this but regardless, it's an absolute beast. Possible top ten finish for me. Absolutely crushing disgusting filth - in a good way...

A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
The album release has been a bit overshadowed by the trans shitstorm Roisin Murphy has created.
As I understand it: someone shared a Facebook post by Murphy where she supports Graham Lineham with some ill informed stuff about puberty blockers, big pharma and trans teenagers being mixed up kids. A lot of LGBT fans were outraged. Further stuff in a similar vein came out. Her former stylist, Kabira, who is trans, claimed Murphy is a toxic, fucked up person who has been transphobic for over a decade. Murphy was quietly dropped from playing at Homoelectric and record signings at Rough Trade were cancelled. Then Murphy put out a non-apology statement, basically saying sorry if you were offended but I don’t want to talk about this. She's been getting lots of love from Lineham, glowing reviews in the Daily Mail and support from Brendan O'Neil. It's all turned her into a bit of a culture wars lightning rod and hero to transphobes
I like the album, but it's no Roisin Machine.

Yeah, I'm aware of all that but tbh I don't have the emotional energy to engage with it in any meaningful way (beyond maintaining my existing contempt for Linehan and the Mail as standard). It's a good album, I enjoy the music, that's all.

Faith No More keyboardist (and Imperial Teen leader) Roddy Bottum has a new project MAN ON MAN that has a new album out - it's almost aggressively gay (lyrically anyway; musically it's closer to Imperial Teen than FNM):

Absolutely fucking brilliant death metal from Toronto - the new Tomb Mold. I'm on my 3rd listen of the day. Massive thumbs up from me..... what a trip.

Absolutely slamming grindcore from Gridlink. Fast and furious but quite melodic too. Top drawer...

Getting around to listening to this now - reminds me a bit of White Lung too, at least on the faster tracks. Good though.

The new Hey Colossus album is REALLY REALLY REALLY good.
They've moved even further from the noise rock of old - this is surely their most melodic work so far. I wasn't too fussed by the last album but this one's really hitting the spot. Big recommendation....

This came out a while ago, but I don't think anyone ever mentioned it - bit of a grunge supergroup, at least the backing band is (Krist Novoselic from Nirvana, Kim Thayil from Soundgarden, Matt Cameron from Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Temple of the Dog), and the music is actually pretty good:

New Sarah Mary Chadwick - "Messages To God"
Saw them live on Wednesday. Fantastic.
Yea I missed them here on Monday. Hadn't realised it was coming so soon and I'd had a bit of a weekend already.
Who does the vocals, or do they share them? Cian's solo vocals aren't bad.

Exasperated, not angry.
There’s a bit of Rhys Ifan, a couple of other singers whose names are written way too small on the sleeve for me to be able to read them, but most are shared between the band.
Gruff’s voice really did add a massive element to SFA they just can’t replicate. Whole new melodic lines within them. They are missed, but it’s still pretty fine on first listen.

A sprawling and very enjoyable solo debut from Yussef Dayes.
Just got to this and I'm enjoying it thanks

Corinne Bailey Rae has gone in a squonky new direction and I like it. Noisy, distorted, beautiful freeform songs inspired by Chicago's archive of Black art.

Purelink - Peak Oil
This is some seriously good woozy ambient dub techno business. Really highly recommended....

I haven't listened to anything from it yet, but from the write-ups it ticks a number of my buttons.
As does this, from Föllakzoid, who do long droney pieces to house and techno beats.

Check it out - I've listened 3 times today - superb...
It's not called Peak Oil though - it's called Signs! Not sure where I got that from...
Apologies; I just realised I reposted that a few days after you'd already mentioned it.

Not my sort of thing, but I know there are some fans of endless droney stuff on here - Shone a Rainbow Light On by Setting who are apparently a bit of an Americana drone supergroup:
