Kraxis posted:So over the last week or so I've heard a couple of songs on the radio by Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hammer who have recorded a bunch of songs from the Child Ballads collection. Which is pretty cool as if you had parents like mine you grew up with Fairport Convention and Pentangle and the like who regularly recorded traditional songs that Child wrote down. Plus, being American their voices sound very different to the versions I'm used to. I picked this up a couple of weeks ago. Love the version of Tam Lin.

The Lonely Wild's album dropped the other day. I quite enjoyed it. Much the same "Ennio Morricone meets Arcade Fire" sound as their EP, so if you listened to that, you'll know what to expect. http://thelonelywild.bandcamp.com/

My favourite British indie band, The Indelicates, just released their fourth album, Diseases of England. The first single, Class, was released late last year, and they've released another handful since. I haven't listened to it enough to be able to tell if it's as good as their previous albums, but I've really enjoyed it so far. cptn_dr fucked around with this message at 07:23 on May 8, 2013 |

Looks like Little Boots released a new album about a week back. Only given it one listen, but I don't think I enjoyed it quite as much as her first one.

psychoJ posted:Searched the thread and I didn't see any mention of her, but today I discovered Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. She relies pretty heavily on her vocals and lyricism, which are both really, really good. It's like she infuses country inspired lyrics with indie rock instrumentals. Her album, Ripely Pine, is pretty long but I feel that it doesn't have much filler to it, if any at all. Lady Lamb is fantastic. I'd love to see her live.

I'm off to The National next week, and Okkervil River a few weeks after that. And I caught Daughter, Savages and CHVRCHES on Monday. Been a hella good summer of music.

Anthonie Tonnon is a local singer-songwriter who's about to release a new album, which is available for streaming here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/music/news/article.cfm?c_id=264&objectid=11408916 He writes quite literate narrative-based songs, that he describes as "long-form ballads". He's kind of difficult to pin down, but I first saw him opening for Okkervil River, where he performed, among other things, a cover of The Mountain Goats' "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton", so if you like either of those bands, I can recommend him. Edit: Neeb posted:Courtney Barnett put out a new tune from her debut album I think Pedestrian at Best is the best track she's ever done. Goddamn. And if you ever get the chance to see her live, don't miss out on it. She's fantastic. cptn_dr fucked around with this message at 12:02 on Mar 3, 2015 |

Modest Mike posted:i've been a Metric fan since the Old World Underground days and i find the new one pretty lackluster. I really like a handful of songs, The Shade, Cascades, and a some others but overall seems not great. For context i thought their last album Synthetica was was really good. Maybe i'll come around to it tho. I too am very interested to hear their next album which they say is completed and is mostly analog acoustic instrumentation. Yeah, I'm not liking it as much as Synthetica, but given how much I loved Synthetica, that isn't too surprising. Hopefully it'll grow on me, though.

Nothing on the new CHVRCHES album is grabbing me in the same way that Science/Visions did on the first album, but other than that, I think it's pretty good. Can't wait to see them in January.
