Wow, never in a million years did I expect to see Conor Oberst performing on The Tonight Show.

He was actually on Leno a while ago too:

I just saw Screaming Females perform their new album live in its entirety. It's fantastic, and I'm really looking forward to hearing the rest of their back catalogue (I only learned about them last week).

Aslo, http://www.nyctaper.com/ has a couple of live shows of thiers to download for free so you can check those out too. I feel like I prefer some of their stuff live just because of how good Marissa is

I have Apple Music now, so I can actually afford to get new music. Please recommend whatever, I will give it a listen.

If you're into trying out surf punk stuff Mrs Magicians Strange Heaven is one of my all time favs

Definitely is toned down a little compared to Singles, but yeah, after repeated listens I really like it. Can't wait to see them live again in a couple months.

You can definitely hear in Sams voice the toll his vocal style has taken on him, there's in interview they just put out where he says he's eventually just gonna lose his voice.

i've wanted to see future islands since singles blew me away and they're playing a 3-night stand in brooklyn while i'm out of town

now that i've seen lcd soundsystem, i guess they're my new white whale. I did see the snails in a tiny venue and that show was a loving blast tho, so i've at least had a sam herring live experience (also the snails lp is better than the far field)

The Mercury Lounge show? I preferred that to when I saw Future Islands at terminal 5 when Seasons came out

Speaking of surf � La Luz announce new album and single:

For those who don't know, they play surf rock on the chill side � like you're at the beach but it's cloudy and windy and you have to go buy a sweater from a souvenir shop. Both of their albums so far have been good, but Weirdo Shrine has been my favorite.

Fake edit: Y Niwl sound great, thanks for the recommendation. gently caress, I love surf rock.

This sounds good, all of their stuff has been good-great to me

I just got back from seeing Porches at Elsewhere, all his stuff plays differnt live but in a good way, maybe one or two too many of the slower songs from the new album but overall a great show.

I'm seeing Voidz and Porches tonight. To be completely honest, I'm dreading Porches a little but at least hopeful it will sound good live, but am extremely hype for Voidz.

Is this his low-key/solo set? If it is, I agree, but with a full band he put on a good show even with his new album being a little more subdued

future islands ruled. they got a full hour, and it was the first time i'd gotten to see them live. singles was my favorite album of 2015 (wasn't it everyone's? at least, in terms of indie rock?), but i missed the tour, and it was great seeing them bring so much energy to a now pretty-packed crowd. this finally got people moving. they actually only played two songs from singles - seasons (duh) and a dream of you and me - which was a bit disappointing, considering how much i love that record, but i enjoyed what they played from the far field too. they also played balance, which is a great track, and, oddly, four songs off in evening air - a record i'm definitely not familiar with, but now really want to check out. can't complain about this set at all considering i got to see it for free, of course. and yes, future islands's frontman still does all the ridiculous dancing, chest pounding, and hardcore growling you'd expect.

Dude look up anything they did prior to Singles, it's all just as good. Albums,singles,EPs, whatever. Event their first album Wave Like Home which is a little more lo-fi is still great

Tin Man and Long Flight live are soooooo good.

Literally a year ago tomorrow I saw them at a sold out 400 person club and it was incredible. That was the fifth time I've seen them and Sam never sounded better somehow.

This reminded me because I saw them at Mercury Lounge a few years ago, check out The Snails, it's a side project of Sam and William from Future Islands and some of their Baltimore music friends.
Super reductive pitch: it's Future Islands with a Sax instead of synth and all the songs are about being a snail

Also releasing today, the new Charly Bliss continues the same sound as the singles they put out so far, which isn't what I was hoping for from them. Sounds fine enough for what it is, just not for me

well, poo poo. Dan Sartain has died. Loved his music but this certainly puts a cloud over it
