High Flying Birds. Who built the moon.

The latest, Resolve, from Brighton based talent Poppy Ackroyd is absolutely stunning. Up there with her previous stuff.

Mellotron · Feb 15, 2018

Really sorry if already talked about, but loving this right now;

[yt]tIVB9x-HDzg[/yt]

Mid-era Nine Inch Nails-ish palette of noises, in with some aggressive shoegaze/post punk, and someone even suggested Pearl Jam. An intriguing concoction.

From the new album Criminal, probably my album of 2018 so far.

Is it PotG? · Feb 16, 2018

Folk...not your relaxingly mellow Unthanks but slightly edgy...punk and dubstep influence from this Essex mob. Nice.

Super Steve Earle · Feb 16, 2018

I love this song. Beautiful playing and heartfelt singing. Album due March 2nd.

I remember really liking their debut, I think they played TGE around the time. Completely lost touch with them, will give this a go.

Anyone into facemelting guitars might want to check out the new No Age effort 'Snares Like a Haircut.' Seems to be a return to form after the relative disappointment of 2013's 'An Object.'

I'm a little disappointed by the new Ty Segall. Seems the rowdy stuff is toward the end. Will persevere though.

darkwolf666 · Feb 19, 2018

With my 80s head firmly on I have just bought the latest offering from Midge Ure, which is called Orchestrated, and strangely it is orchestral rearrangements of some classic Ultravox tracks mixed in with a few of Midge's own compositions.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea or edgy, but I love it...

Something tells me Theatre of Trees probably beat me to it but the Bas Jan record is a lovely slice of Slitsy/ Raincoats esque fayre.

Well, I like it a lot, and think it shows his pop sensibility and songwriting panache. It's clearly a change in direction, is ambitious and, as a consequence, doesn't all work. I really like the range of songs and styles on it. That said, I still having got my head around how much I like it. It's probably better than his previous offering, and certainly nowhere near the standards of Manipulator (although I'm struggling to think of anything that is this decade). It's where it sits alongside the likes of Twins, Melted, Slaughterhouse that I haven't been able to work out yet.

Although I will note that it's attracted remarkably little attention on this thread, which sounds like I'm in a minority.

Whitechapel · Feb 24, 2018

Brighton’s very own Ocean Wisdom dropped his new album; Wizville, yesterday. One of the most interesting list of features you’ll see on a Hip-Hop album this year. It’s a testament to how good OW is when a young rapper from Brighton can get the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Roots Manuva, Rodney P & Method Man (yes, that one) on only his second album.

It’s my favourite album this year by a mile. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. It’s mad to think the best flow in the world is spitting about Western Road.

I wasn't totally sold on Manipulator to be fair. I'm not sure I ever wanted Ty Segall to show his pop sensibility. I also preferred it when TS released 1,000,000 different sounding albums, rather than releasing bloated records less frequently.

Yeah I'm surprised too. Aside from my minor gripes, he's great and one of the best out there live.

'Ere Whitechapel. I've been having a bit of a Kool Keith revival recently and a friend suggested I give this a listen. I think it's great. Apologies if you've already mentioned it

Will give that Ocean Wisdom a go for sure.

The Snivellers, featuring members of Joanna Gruesome, Spill, Garden Centre & Porridge Radio, have just released 8 minutes of flawlessly executed hardcore punk with its tongue ever so slightly in its cheek. Give it a whirl if that sounds your bag....

Loma - Loma.

Dreamy, somewhat mystical. Absolutely love this right now.

Many positive reviews for The Lovely Eggs new release.

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/the-lovely-eggs-this-is-eggland/

I do love this twosome.

Herr Tubthumper · Mar 6, 2018

So, 2018. Nils Frahm and Hookworms are both getting endless play at Tubthumper Towers and on the horizon is the new Daniel Avery and the new Jon Hopkins. Think it’s going to be a good year.

Decided to get some tickets for Frahm as well.

Record Store Day listing is out. 21st April is the day itself and no match to prevent me from getting involved.
