Sorry if anyone else has banged on about it, but my word the new The National album is just....gorgeous. Possibly my favourite of theirs.

Also, Queens of the Stoneage's Villians is great. Those 2 + Slowdive are my albums of the year so far.

I agree about The National. Saw these concerts and thought it's almost worth it for two top bands. Daughter's soundtrack album is just great. Capture.JPG

I loved Like Clockwork so much...easily their best album in my eyes. I have been reticent in listening to the new one - not generally in the mood for the genre recently. So, should I? Is it worth it, and is it a step forward?

There are similarities to Like Clockwork but this album is more upbeat, lighter in tone. Track 1 and 9 are both superb IMO.

Liking the Snapped Ankles album plenty but it does cross the boundary into ripping off The Fall on more than one occasion.

They do it well though. Can imagine they'll be immense live.

New album 'Ardor' by Canadian outfit Big Brave is getting a loud airing in Redoubtable Seagull's household this afternoon.
They play Sticky Mike's in a couple of weeks for those interested folk.



Lee Ranaldo's 'Electric Trim' is a grower.



And Tricot's new one '3' hits the spot again with their math rock/pop.




Plus the new Godspeed You and Mogwai (both already mentioned in the thread) are enjoyable listens.

Big Brave should be a cracking gig.

Haven't heard the new one but I've been long of the opinion that Lee is a really underrated songwriter. Eric's Trip and Hey Joni off Daydream Nation for instance.

Kele Okereke - 'Fatherland'

The ex(?) lead singer of Bloc Party has a solo album out and it's surprisingly twee and poppy and quite soulful in places. A mainly acoustic affair with Corinne Bailey Rae guest appearing too. If you're after something quiet and reflective to listen to then this could be right up your alley.

Carla Dal Forno - Garden (EP)
Four track EP containing new songs, no instrumental fillers, showing much progression from her excellent album last year. Possibly the best release of the year in my view.

Thanks for the heads up on Carla Del Forno. Will check out her new EP. I'm a big fan of her record label, Blackest Ever Black. There's quite a lot of weird but wonderful artists and bands on their roster.
