Not sure if these are mentioned earlier but I have recently been playing the modern day Daisy Age of Golden Rules album Golden Ticket. it is absolutely aceballs.

Meanwhile an album that came out in the summer but that only sounds right to be...
Seeing this thread pop up reminded me I've had a few goes on the Guy Garvey solo album now. Some of it sounds like Elbow. Some of it really doesn't and much of it is very heavily jazz influenced. Like a lot. #FestivalDad
Fans of electro and minimal techno might enjoy Pan-Pot's long player The Other. It's getting me through two days of solid, boring manual testing. Definitely would happen in Germany,
After Pale Green Ghosts it was kind of hard to know where he'd take it. For me that took confessional singer / songwriter to its outer limits. I'm pleasantly impressed with the new one, LOVE the track with Tracey Thorn on.
Good review and love that Tracy Thorn track though the video is definitely NSFW!!!
I've just noticed it's available on my Sonos via Spotify so a full play awaits in the back room on Saturday while the deaf ones in the family watch the Crap Factor.
And I'm getting through repeated plays of Sugar Now by Cristobal and the Sea. Get if you like Fleet Foxes, The Magic Numbers and bilingual lyrics, which I do.There's even a little nod to dub.
This is absolutely brilliant. I love a bit of trippy sci-fi and the music has been done absolutely perfectly. The video adds another level to the disturbingness. I also love that, like Public Service Broadcasting it's an electronica album that demands to be played as a whole thing rather than a...
That Marker Starling album is a lovely, lovely thing, Had it on twice today already. It puts me in mind of Josh Rouse's 1972 (not from this year but still great)
Not an album but a new Elbow EP. I am an unashamed fan and care not a jot that this isn't really breaking any new ground or even particularly "alternative". I could just listen to Guy Garvey's voice forever.
On play counts my top three have easily been Public Service Broadcasting, Blur and Mbongwana Star. This thread alerted me to the first of those and the Santa / Easter Bunny thing the last. Cheers NSC :thumbsup:
I actually thought I'd found this one by myself but there you go mentioning it three or four pages back. Absolutely right up my street. House does dubstep does techno with vocals. Bloody brilliant.
I've also just got the new Unknown Mortal Orchestra album on Spotify / Sonos ahead of a very likely purchase (like, almost imminent). A sort of trippy Prince / Bruno Mars meets electronica delivered as a concept album about a polyamorous break up. Which is a good thing. I think.
Their debut amazed me on its first few plays but slowly began to get boring. Then I played it again a few weeks ago in preparation for getting the new one and loved it again.
Born Under Saturn is undoubtedly more of the same. It's sort of Beach Boys meets baggy with a touch of The Beta Band...
