Hinds debut album is streaming http://diymag.com/2015/12/31/hinds-leave-me-alone-album-stream

Esben and The Witch return with a (mainly) acoustic EP featuring an excellent cover of Black Sabbath's 'Planet Caravan,' reworkings of 'Dig Your Fingers In' and 'Marching Song.' as well as a new one. Rather good it is too. https://esbenandthewitch.bandcamp.com/

So was anyone else on JLin before AOTY season? This track is so big that to call it a banger would be to do it a disservice. I have no idea what I'd do if it came on in a club though. Probably shit myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQcJEHKHRc0

And continuing the local theme, we did the album launch for Ingrid Plum's 'Plangent' album a couple of weeks ago and it was one one of my favourite shows of the year by anyone. I'm not sure the record portrays to you how special her voice is but if some beautiful sung, minimal folk/ sound art...

Really? I'm surprised. One of my all time favourite Brighton bands, awesome live - Guy was just dynamite as frontman. Anyway - that's no indication to the sound of this lot tbf.

I've had my eye on Krak Krak for a while, the project of former 80's Matchbox drummer Rob Ling for a while, their album came out yesterday and it's rather good. https://krakkrak.bandcamp.com/album/all-the-punks-in-the-world-cant-save-you-now Warning: It can be a little \m/ at times.

16 minute lead single, the kid does not give a ****. Plays the Albert in early Jan.

Thanks for the tip.

You coming to see TOTS on Wednesday?

I bloody hate you sometimes, came here to say that and now look like a copycat by 10 minutes. It is though. 4 crackers in a row now.

Dan Avery has released his first solo production since 2013 http://crackmagazine.net/2015/11/daniel-avery-shares-new-track-sensation/ All the hallmarks that made Drone Logic such a treat, little bit darker and less dancefloor though.

Fans of Swell Maps, This Heat or Canadian, geniuses Women (I know there's at least one of you) will get a lot from Housewives debut album. Their cassette last year was a personal highlight. For the uninitiated- it's dischordant, scratchy post-punk/ noise-rock. Artier than the Tate Modern...

The 4th album of utter brilliance from London's Teeth of The Sea is streaming over at The Guardian. http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2015/nov/02/teeth-of-the-sea-highly-deadly-black-tarantula-exclusive-album-stream This time, they are name checking Aphex Twin, Angelo Badalamenti...

Blimey, that sounds up my street. I remember liking the first one without being totally blown away.

Other life stuff meant that I couldn't listen to as much as I would have like over the summer so I'm playing a bit of catch up as well.

Haven't heard it yet - got a long list to catch up on over the weekend.

New Wolf Eyes album here - http://www.thefader.com/2015/10/22/wolf-eyes-i-am-a-problem-mind-in-pieces

What was the last one of theirs you did go back to time and time again? Probably Microcastle/ Weird Era for me. I liked bits of Halcyon and enjoyed Monomania, whilst simultaneously thinking it was a bit lazy.

Some excellent stuff in The Quietus's alternative Mercury Prize including Brighton's own Kemper Norton and Gazelle Twin http://thequietus.com/articles/19035-jovian-bow-shock-mercury-prize Kemper plays The Joker on 10 November supporting Hypnotized https://www.wegottickets.com/event/334553

Has anyone had much of a chance to spend some time with the Deerhunter album? Gave it a cursory listen just now, surprised by how upfront the vocals and production are, it appears to be the most straight forward thing they've done. Need a few more listens to work out if it's any good or not.
