New Music Friday!

[Nee Lewman]

@Djxfactor511 same here. I love this group so much, and the wife does too. So we shall wait for Magnolia to deliver and listen together. I can confidently say...it WILL be worth the wait.

I’m with you and @Djxfactor511

A little disappointed by the new M83. I can't remember what I read but I was expecting Junk but inspired by 80s video game soundtracks rather than TV soundtracks. But this is all instrumental and more like his older stuff, it's well produced and all, nothing wrong with it really, I just really liked Junk.

Joe Armon Jones new album is out!

 

[Nee Lewman]

To everyone who has not heard it, Neal Francis - Changes is out tomorrow. It is top notch and worth your time!

 

[kafunis]

Anyone heard the new Robbie Robertson?

 

[ohcalebbeck]

Really into this new babe rainbow album. if you havent listened to it and need some 60s surf vibes in your life I would highly recommend!

 

[Maharg]

Not sure whether this has been mentioned, but Brittany Howard's solo album is out today and its
Even if you're not a fan of Alabama Shakes, I highly recommend checking it out.

Anyone heard the new Robbie Robertson?

Just listened. Parts of it were good--I especially liked the instrumental closer--but a lot of the lyrics are pretty bad (esp. on "Shanghai Blues"). I haven't listened to much of Robbie's solo stuff so I don't know how it compares to his previous post-Band work.

 

[Hollywood]

This album is so good.

I'm listening to it right now and I would have to agree.

Kind of an oddball one I'm listening to today. The Number Twelve Looks Like You have a new album out today. I haven't listened to this band since their album Mongerel came out in 2007. If you like screamo/hardcore/metal/mathcore all crammed into one band with a lot of odd time changes and style shifts, check this one out!

DSVII is primarily influenced by vintage video game music and 80's sci-fi/fantasy films such as 'The Never Ending Story'. Anthony Gonzalez even lists a number of references for the album, including work by Brian Eno, Mort Garson, Suzanne Ciani and John Carpenter, alongside video scores, such as Final Fantasy (Nobuo Uematsu), Dragon Quest (Koichi Sugiyami) and The Legend of Zelda (Koji Kondo). The album, the sequel to Digital Shades Vol. 1 (2007), is an expansive down-tempo atmospheric journey that evokes childhood memories of fantasy reverie. 🕹📽

Halfway through Brittany Howard’s Jaime and I’ve got to say this is pretty, pretty, pretty good. Recommended

I just wrapped it and it's one of the best things I've heard this year.

New band out of Connecticut dropped their first singles and video yesterday.
[Full disclosure: I have occasionally played bass and guitars with them, so I am a little biased.]

 

[Djxfactor511]

So far today for me

Sturgill Simpson - Definitely will be a grower for me. Dirty, gritty rock with a twang
New Pornographers - Really great and on par with their best IMO
Temples - Big step forward for them. Ditching the sleepier songs from previous albums in favor of hook driven groovy psych rock.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I’m not listening to Sturgill until my record comes!!!!

 

[Djxfactor511]

I’m not listening to Sturgill until my record comes!!!!

I couldn't help myself!

 

[Ethos99]

I’m not listening to Sturgill until my record comes!!!!

That record is certified hot dayum fire!

 

[Memo]

That record is certified hot dayum fire!

This album is great. The guitars are wild!!
I saw him live back when he released A Sailor's Guide to Earth and it's on the same level... he's very talented with the guitar and would go on 10 minute solos for mostly all the songs he played and it was AMAZING lol

65daysofstatic dropped their newest album yesterday, replicr, 2019. If you're into experimental electronic math rock, it's a must listen. I've been listening to it on loop all afternoon. The whole album is on the usual streaming suspects, and also youtube.
