I'm a Foundation Member  For me, Harvest is the best music festival around at the moment. Great music, great atmosphere, and none of the dickishness that you get with Big Day Out or Homebake. I can't wait to see Eels and Franz Ferdinand, and on a smaller scale Goldfrapp. But I've never really understood point of NMH, however many times I've listened to 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'. mogran posted:Still waiting for #5 from these guys. SKWBN are the most fun loop duplicating deviants out there to me. Combining tropical styles and bpms with soulful and catchy pop elements. Big fan of these guys (as you may tell from my avatar). Such strange music they make. I just wish they'd make more of it. Creature fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Sep 2, 2013 |

Au Revoir Simone has a new album coming out on September 23/24 (EU/NA), titled Moving In Spectrums on the newly-reactivated Instant Records. There's the lead single, "Somebody Who": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXr0v13mx-U ...and a promo (I think?) single, "Crazy": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP7lU6E0EcU I've not yet listened to Still Life, Still Night from 2009 but I was sort of surprised at how almost dance-y "Somebody Who" was compared to their first EP and album, which I would describe as generally more fit for late-night introspection with songs like "Through The Backyards Of Our Neighbours" and "Fallen Snow". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqsuii1h6AI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXmKpB9dn3c

Is this the thread where we can talk about Man Man? Because their new album is streaming on Pitchfork, and it's god drat amazing, like usual. Mike Mogis is producing again, but they've gone back to their more varied instrumentation from the pre-Mogis albums. For those who haven't heard them before, they're a fantastic mix of experimental and indie and they're all really talented multi-instrumentalists who can perform in a wide variety of styles.

Oh poo poo I didn't even know Man Man was coming out with something soon. They're probably my favorite live band and they're coming to SF in October, so I'm super excited. Glad to hear they are going back to the weirder days.

Fyi, Paper Bag Records has released a compilation which has label artists reinterpreting Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars". Needless to say, it's very good.

I like Annie's first album (2004's Anniemal) and her recent release, The A&R EP, co-produced and -written with Richard X a lot. I love how complex the music and vocal arrangements are yet it doesn't sound overly busy or any less absurdly melodic -- that's good arranging, I reckon! What other good club-ready underground synthpop should I check out? I found out about The A&R EP from this thread, I think? It's really loving good, goddamn.

Holy Ghost! has been one of my favorite groups on DFA ever since LCD Soundsystem went away, and they've got a new album out 9/10 called Dynamics. Pitchfork's currently got the stream: http://pitchfork.com/advance/202-dynamics/ It's 80s-inspired electro-pop with some awesome rock/dance-y rhythms.

I wouldn't necessarily call it club-ready, but I'm a big fan of both singers.

The Naked and Famous' new album In Rolling Waves just leaked (I have the CD pre-ordered already so a leak is just me picking it up early really. I suggest you pre-order too!). It's being properly released next week. Their first album Passive Me, Aggressive You was probably my favourite album in the last three years. Trying to decide between getting the vinyl or not (I would have to buy a player) but I'm definitely trying to get to the Sound Academy show in Toronto, even if it's on a work day. I highly suggest one to pick up the original LP, maybe even the EPs and then check the new record out. So far so good.

This is allegedly the new Arcade Fire single, "Reflektor". http://omnimusic.tumblr.com/post/60570949008/arcade-fire-reflektor-not-confirmed Unconfirmed, but you can definitely hear the Arcade Fire in there. That said, it sounds totally different from their old stuff, which I assume is because David Bowie and James Murphy were working on the album as well. I'm pretty doggone excited for the whole album.

Funeral was (and is) one of my favorite albums of all time when it came out but i wasn't totally into Neon Bible and thought Suburbs was thoroughly disappointing. I really love where they are going with this tho and have high hopes. Song is awesome.

That song is fantastic. I thought Neon Bible was the only 'lull' for them (but still had some good songs) and it looks like they're still going strong. Are those Bowie background vocals later in the song? nasboat fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Sep 7, 2013 |

Here are some enchanting medieval acoustic instrumentals from the makers of the soundtrack to the new game Dominions 4. Weaving between loud and soft, somber and wild, Anna Rynefors & Erik Ask-Upmark take you back to a simpler time where emotions run freely through wood and string, uninhibited by the angst and tension of the daily modern grind.

I can't wait to see them again. edit: DAMNIT I'm busy the night they're coming near me

I just hope the new Arcade Fire album is less bloated than The Suburbs. It's not a bad album but it's probably five tracks longer than it needs to be. This single is a good sign, though. Mountains Beyond Mountains was the best track on The Surburbs, and this track reminds me a lot of that one. (Also, for everyone who didn't like Neon Bible, try skipping the first and last tracks. The album instantly gets better.)

Thank you for posting this. I had never heard of this band before (though later realized I had seen their Rabbit Habbits video before), and I can't get enough of them since you posted this. They are so much fun, and each song brings a unique sound which is unlike even everything else on an album. Really great stuff. Been watching live videos and they look amazingly fun. Gonna have to pick up a ticket. e: Also I guess the main guy, Honus Honus, is part of Mister Heavenly, whom I love, and who have one of the most what-the-christ music videos of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWdlPXZUj6w thehoodie fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Sep 8, 2013 |

The Riot Jazz Brass Band's newish release Sousamaphone is seriously some of the most fun stuff I've ever heard this year. If you pick it apart, there's a lot of jazz and funk to be heard, but you can also pick up some DnB and footwork every once in a while. Everything about the album reminds me so much of all of the great school bands back in Louisiana, and it's rocketed up to my picks for AOTY almost for that reason alone.  Another pick of mine is lo-fi, goth pop, clearly-Suicide-influenced Jay Holy. A lot of people I've shown this to throw comparisons to Ariel Pink, but I find JH's work to be much more infectious and sleeker aesthetically. splifyphus posted:Punch Brothers. Chris Thile's "How to Grow a Woman from the Ground" is an album dear to my heart, but I couldn't ever manage to get into the Punch Brothers proper. Thile really shines as a, more or less, solo act.
