New War on Drugs album leaked and is incredible. To me it sounds like early Spiritualized, Dylan, and Springsteen. I can't stop listening to it!

Mikal Cronin's got a new album out in a couple weeks. Managed to pick up a copy a couple nights ago after seeing him play, and it's excellent. As good as his last album, for sure. Lots of ear worms.

Gwenno (she was in The Pipettes, even after they turned into a different group) just re-released her album Y Dydd Olaf on Heavenly Recordings. It originally came out at the end of 2014 on a small Welsh label called Peski. The album is insanely awesome: atmospheric, Krautrocky, and entirely sung in Welsh--I think the final song might actually be in Cornish--without a single trace of the group that made her "famous." That's a good thing. I never liked The Pipettes. You'd never know she was in The Pipettes if I hadn't told you.

I can't get over how good it is. Give it a shot. Almost everyone I've suggested it to loves it.

Yeah, this is real good. Thanks for the suggestion! Reminds me a bunch of Stereolab.

Feels like I'm the only person outside of Australia that notices this, but The Drones have a new album coming out in March, and from the two songs released so far it's gonna be right on up there with the best of the year. Their last album, "I See Seaweed", was easily my favorite of 2013. A real Sonic Youth inspired art rock masterpiece. Check them out if you like extremely literate and cynical, yet gut punchingly emotional rock music with some real weird guitar noises thrown in, and then moments of real beauty here and there. If you watch the show Rectify you've heard one of their songs, at least.

The new album by Pile, "A Hairshirt of Purpose", just absolutely rules. The title track is like the platonic ideal of what I look for in rock music. This album is a must listen for anyone who wants to hear a combination of Pixies, Built to Spill, McLusky and some post/math-rock structure. Listen to it as loud as you can stand.

this album is loving great. now i just have to decide if it's great enough to give jack white money to see them play in the world's shittiest recording booth slash venue.

Never been there, but god drat the Shabazz Palaces live album from there sounds awful, production-wise. Hopefully it's not that hollow sounding when you see groups in person.

But yeah, go see Pile. Based only on Youtube videos, it seems like their live shows are awesome. I have my tix for a show in May.

Is nobody listening to the new Afghan Whigs? It's really great, feels like a spiritual successor of 1965. Closer than the Twilight Singers stuff got.

Because I don't feel like listening to a lovely disco album by a band who historically has never been a disco band?

e: Also I just realized that the 2 people who quoted me about this were named "JailTrump" and "ThisIsWhyTrumpWon" who just registered within the last month and I think I might be getting trolled.

To be fair to the Arcade Fire, nearly all of their songs end in some form of disco rave up, even stretching back to Funeral. I'm not sure their drummer knows another beat.

Oh, and also I'm trying to find a really neato house track I heard in a local coffee shop. It featured heavy saxophone with occasional vocals overlaid of 60s inspirational-type quotes (think JFK, MLK stuff). It was a very happy, upbeat track, kind of reminiscent of Fear of Tigers (if anyone knows his stuff). Any ideas?

uh the most interesting thing about this weyes blood record is the album art. idgi

Same. Reminds too much of soft 70s folk you'd find in the dollar bin, not something for everyone to be freaking out about. I've given it two listens and couldn't tell ya anything more about it.

Here's something new I like:

BATPISS - Nothing

Rock from Australia, this song in particular kinda reminds me of the Loewenstein-led Sebadoh tracks. Their last album (Rest in Piss) was incredible.
