I like Celeste's album a lot! Stop This Flame is one of my favorite songs of the year so far.

Same! Stop This Flame is

Which pressing do you have?

I have the 180g first pressing. Not sure how different the later pressings were.

Humm... the Celeste vinyl seems to be missing the better tracks. Very odd. Probably should wait for a different edition to be released.

Really!? Like which one's?

The CD is different.

Well Black Country, New Road dropped the first great album of the year yesterday in my opinion

At first I was little put off by the vocals but by the middle of the album I had to buy a physical copy. I love it. It's one of the most interesting things I've heard in a while. I think it'll be one of the biggest albums this year (but it could also get completely lost in the shuffle). Bummed I missed the variants that were out there, but happy I got a standard copy regardless. It just arrived today.

This would be freaking great!

Wolf Alice continue to tease return with 'The Last Man On Earth'

Wolf Alice, whose last album was in 2017, appear to be teasing their return in the form of a new project called 'The Last Man On Earth'.

YES. I have been hoping this was going to happen this year. Great debut, great second album...I believe they can do it again.

I love everything about this band-can’t wait for a new record

Has Baio's "Dead Hand Control" come up on here yet? I guess he's a member of Vampire Weekend. Full disclosure: I'm just a lukewarm fan of Vampire Weekend.

That said, I need to spend more time with this record, but it reminds me of Pulp in a good way.

This one flew under the radar a little but deserves every little bit of attention.

I’m a big Vampire Weekend fan but I never have really listened to Baio’s solo stuff. One of his songs from his first album was played over and over on the radio when it came out and it turned me off of wanting to check out the record. But I did hear something from the new album on Time Crisis (Ezra’s radio show) and it sounded pretty nice

You must mean Sister of Pearl. I love that song despite being overplayed on SIriusXM radio back in 2015.

Haha yes, and yes to it being overplayed on SiriusXM. That's where I kept hearing it.

I've completely overlooked this thread, but on a quick scan over the past couple of pages I've jotted down a decent list of things to check out.

First up - Dominique Fils-Aimé. I've gone to her first record, I think, 'Nameless'....it's brilliant! So thanks for the heads-up on her.

The Antlers just shared another song, their last one before the new album's release next month

Glad you found this thread! And, yeah, the Dominique album was a lucky find on Bandcamp for me the other day. I'm looking forward to checking out her first two albums, both of which seem to have been enjoyed!
