This Jesu/ Sun Kill Moon record is up my street.

I suspect most other people will think the doom metal backing ruins it. They're probably right.

 

[BBassic]

Have been meaning to give that a spin. Shall do that over the weekend.

'Expected' release tomorrow.

It's a suspenseful listen. A lot of good noises in it - a real sonic screenplay. If David Lynch is interested, that's Twin Peaks sorted.

The vinyl is in Resident now, I'm very much looking forward to having a listen tonight.

Low lighting and headphones advised.

Or . . .
full blast on speakers, strip lighting, curtains open, staring at the neighbours like this.

 

[Tarpon]

This is from what looks like the last Richmond Fontaine album out in March.
The Bleach gig in April has sold out and is effectively one night on a farewell tour.
To say I am gutted would be an understatement. It could all get a bit emotional.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

For those who like retro flavoured dream pop.



From the Canadian band's self released and self titled debut EP which can be accessed via Spotify, Soundcloud or band camp.

 

[Whitechapel]

Shot in the dark but here goes;

Heard a song the other day on Radio 1 whilst at work. Quite liked it but can't find it for the life of me and as I can't remember what day it was on I can't be arsed trawling through hours of Annie Mac to find it. What I remember about it.

- Was a young lass from Walsall.
- Song had blown up on Soundcloud.
- Her name was something like Georgia Smith, although can't find anything under that name.
- Style wise she reminded me of a female Ghostpoet.
- Lyrically the song was along the lines of "Why would you run from the police if you've done nothing wrong?" with the last chorus switching it up and saying that you should run due to police stereotyping etc.

Anybody got a f*cking clue what the song is, it's driving me mad.

 

[Whitechapel]

Also, this is nailed on to soar up the charts over the next 2/3 weeks.

Anymore thoughts on this? I can't find any reviews or anywhere to listen to it on line.

 

[HantsSeagull]

Anyone heard Lord Huron? Strange Trails is latest album.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more press for it. They could have sold it as a budget Sunn/ Scott Walker.

They put it out for streaming but this has now been taken down so I have no idea whether to buy the album or not expect I will anyway.

From what I heard if you are a MK fan you'll get in with it for sure. He very much takes the foreground, the music is secondary.

Update (not that anyone will care.)

Finally found it. Turns out Georgia Smith was spelt Jorja Smith.

The beat is actually nothing like Ghostpoet and the lyrics were almost completly different to what I remember. However it's a f*cking brilliant tune.

For me, easilly Song of 2016 so far.

18 years old, first song she's put out and it's that good? Long career ahead hopefully.

New track from Eagulls. I still can't tell you why I liked their debut so much but I did.

Inexplicably, they repeat the trick here with a track I should be dismissing as baggy nonsense but I'm loving it.

The only things I'm completely sold on so far this year are the Roly Porter and Tindersticks albums.

Ok, it's 2015 but this record is amazing.

http://the273.com/2015/10/16/big-toast-the-wedding-fund-rejected-review/

Lo-fi indie hip hop from Cr**don. It's about the MC trying to save money for his wedding. Musically it's old school, lyrically it has the same humour/desperation/state of the world address mix that Sleaford Mods so so well.
