This is a really loving good pop album: Keep It Safe by Wild Ones. My favourite track is "Paia" but there isn't a weak song in the bunch I reckon.

iTunes Radio has already paid dividends in introducing me to Snakadaktal, an indie/dreampop outfit from Melbourne. The songs — I hear some Wild Nothing, Frankie Rose, fellow Aussie band Alpine in there — alternate between male and female vocals. "Hung On Tight"

What do you guys think of this guy's music? Decomposure - Oh Brother I've been a fan of his music for a while, kind of relaxing, he uses vocals in an interesting fashion.

Lorde's new album is streaming on VH1. Haven't listened to much of it yet, but I really dug Love Club so hopefully this can match it.

The Lorde album is terrific and a hype-matcher. It's still insane to me that those songs are being helmed by a 16-year-old.

crankdatbatman posted:This MGMT album is really loving out there. Good stuff so far on first listen. Really like Introspection and A Good Sadness. Oi...I am a really big fan and defender of Congrats but after my first listen of this I thought it sounded like the album everyone accused them of making with Congrats, a purposefully obtuse album that's more concerned with shedding everything that came with their debut than making music. It just plain doesn't make any sense after Congrats. You already dropped the bomb you're supposed to lead the radioactive death cult that remains, not loving bomb them again. There's plenty of moments and sounds that are interesting but everything past the 1/4th mark or so sounds like a piss take, songwise.

I just discovered Felix Hagan and the Family. I can't even think how to describe it. It's theatrical (and self-aware) and entertaining and catchy and you should listen to it. You can listen to their upcoming EP (out on Sept. 27) in full here, but I'd highly recommend watching some of their videos on youtube to get the full experience: Dirty Little Urchin Child: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZw3MlAPFEw (the video isn't broken) Desperation Reeks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpePQQSslnE My Little Lusitana(feat. Louis Barabbas): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjpw3uuH31A

Aw yiss Chvrches appreciation. I'll echo what everyone else said that they're great live, even if Lauren's accent is incomprehensible in a concert setting. Their album actually left me a little cold, but there were still several good songs. Strong Hand is only on the deluxe version but its their best song.

I saw them a couple weeks ago, and had been unfamiliar with them until I picked up Gorilla Manor a couple weeks before that concert. I got to know that album pretty well by the time I saw them. Definitely a fun show.

Yeah...after giving it a few more listens I agree. It has a handful of tracks that are good (Alien Days, Introspection, Plenty of Girl in the Sea), but the rest of the album seems to melt into some ambient blob of background music for an acid trip. I still like A Good Sadness as the stand out of these tracks, but still after several listens I have to check the tracklist to figure out what song I'm listening to. I also can barely stand listening to I Love You Too, Death. I just can't get into it, and it drags on and doesn't go anywhere for what feels like ten minutes. I see what they are trying to do, and I don't dislike this album, but Congratulations was such a good loving album that it's disappointing this is a significant step down.

Master_Odin posted:It might just be me, but I couldn't get into it, but that was mainly because the mic was super quiet compared to the instruments and it just felt pretty mismatched. I think the song is pretty good, but agree with you on the mic thing. Definitely something weird going on there. I'm sure it will sound better on the album with proper mixing. Still groovy, though. nihil morari posted:Here's the SNL Arcade Fire aftershow. They play three new songs. "Normal Person" is probably my favourite song I've heard so far. Really catchy and some cool guitar stuff going on throughout it. Every song gets me more excited for this album. Going to be fantastic.

So I'm watching this Arcade Fire special thing after SNL last night which I DVRed. It's so confusing. Based on what I'm hearing here and what they played on SNL, I don't think this album is going to affect me nearly as much as The Suburbs did, but it'll still be good.

Any of you guys hear Octa#Grape before? Glen Galaxy from Soul-Junk and Truman's Water is heading them up. Really good garage rock/psych, reminds me a bit of Sebadoh at points. This EP is excellent, especially the closing track: http://octagrape.bandcamp.com/album/emotional-oil Here's an entire live set: http://www.rocketscienceaudio.com/RocketScienceAudioPresents/Gonerfest10/tabid/120/Default.aspx Gaspy Conana fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Oct 1, 2013 |

powerful haunches posted:I'm surprised no one has mentioned the new Goldfrapp album Tales of Us. I love it. Yesss thank you Goldfrapp is the best. Also, thanks to whoever posted the Blue Sky Archives, that's great. To contribute, here are three bands that I feel like are worth listening to, and although they aren't super recent I don't remember seeing them in this thread. First is an old song by ANR, Around You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggbEX_cgfDQ. One of those slow building rock songs that is catchier than it deserves to be. Bronze Radio Return sounds like a band I would have liked in middle school, but still like. Similar to Lady Danville : https://soundcloud.com/bronze-radio-return/03-shake-shake-shake-mp3-1 . This song in particular, from their 2011 album, is a good pick-me-up. Finally, Savoir Adore has definitely been around for a while, but I liked their 2013 album a lot more than any of the ones before. This song in particular is really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH4ryqWze6U Apologies if these have been posted before (I think the Savoir Adore song might have been posted when it first came out, but I guess it's not the worst thing in the world if it goes up twice). e: Also, holy poo poo I just listened to the new Of Montreal songs -- I know I'm late to the party, but I'm so happy with them. I wasn't sure if Of Montreal would ever sound like this again. foutre fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Oct 1, 2013 |

Body Language - "Well Absolutely" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyLTge80OAU There's a Youtube ad that uses this song, and I just had to find out what it was. Now I can't stop listening to it. Their other stuff is great too. It's like they combined the best elements of dance music from each decade since the 70s. And a glockenspiel. Others songs: "Just Because" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmtt_NDAY-A "You Can" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHtYwaAv2MU "Falling Out" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-W00-vLRPk

I figured Pitchfork would either be dismissive and give Lorde a ~6 or really positive and give her a ~7 and they went with the positive one.  http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18614-lorde-pure-heroine/ Name dropping Broken Social Scene was a canny move
