Together PANGEA is my fav of the year so far. Good work by Nigel as always, mining the reviews and digging out the good stuff.
I read something on Tuttle the other day and thought it sounded good. Will look for that. I liked parts of Blank Realm, but they could use a lesson in brevity. Some stuff just drags on too long for me.For fans of psy. rock
Doug Tuttle's self titled debut album streaming here.
I also like Blank Realm.A few months back, Doug Tuttle showed off his guitar prowess with "Turn This Love," a six-minute stunner from his upcoming, self-titled debut album. Due January 28 via Trouble in Mind Records, the 11-track LP is Tuttle's first solo effort this time last year, he was a top-ranking member of the now-defunct psych-rock outfit MMOSS. But now, Tuttle is free to do his daytripping on his own. The six-string Cat's Cradle found on "Turn This Love" was only the beginning: Expand your consciousness by streaming the hazy, inspired collection below.

Have you listened to MMOSS? They were referenced when I read about Quilt too so they must be up my alley. Going to listen to their 2012 album at some point.Yeah, the song writing from Blank Realm can be a tad hit or miss.I read something on Tuttle the other day and thought it sounded good.

Brain CellsMaximo Park’s fifth album sounds like the work of a band who’ve been miraculously rejuvenated, unburdened of the pressure to conjure up banal indie anthems.
There are still vestiges of spiky post-punk here – 'My Bloody Mind' recalls Talking Heads; 'Is It True?' has a certain New Order-ish doom – but Too Much Information is even better when it pokes into new areas. There are the Depeche Mode gurgles of 'Leave This Island', the synth pop of 'Give, Get, Take', the Johnny Marr-ish distorted jangles of 'Lydia', the heavy metal crunch of 'Her Name Was Audrey'.
It’s harmonically ambitious too but, like their Wearside pals Field Music, Maximo Park wear their proggier instincts lightly, never letting them suffocate the hooklines. An unexpected triumph.
I wish I had just thrown this up on Spotify instead of ending up on youtube after googling so I didn't have to see a video.Together PANGEA is my fav of the year so far. Good work by Nigel as always, mining the reviews and digging out the good stuff.

Loving the music, but want to kick them in their art-school moustaches and 80s ironic/nostaligic outfits. .
Ya, That 2012 album is nice. Kinda wish they weren't on hiatus.Have you listened to MMOSS? They were referenced when I read about Quilt too so they must be up my alley.

Is their album out? I posted "Nerve Endings" in the song thread last year but haven't heard an album yet.Check out a couple new bands from across the pond that sound alright to me.. Eagulls and Post War Glamour Girls.
Yeah well it's leaked anyway. It's good! However I'm reconsidering PWGG after a full listen.. it's a little hammy.Disco Stu said:Is their album out?

Noticed this one as well.The new one from Bombay Bicycle Club is very good if you like that sort of thing.
Looking forward to the Beck one and Sun Kil Moon. Spotify has made me not even bother trying to look for leaks.Beck's Morning Phase is sounding good.
The Sun Kil Moon is pretty good if you like where Kozelek has been headed the last few years. Very personal, at times confessional lyrics and his usual skilled acoustic picking. I like it but I still kind of miss the full band stuff that sounded like the second coming of Crazy Horse.Looking forward to the Beck one and Sun Kil Moon.

On last year's Local Business LP, Titus Andronicus took a more direct songwriting approach than its predecessor, 2010 epic The Monitor. Now, frontman Patrick Stickles has detailed plans for the band's next record, which he said will outsize The Monitor in its scope of ambition. Speaking with Missoulian, Stickles said the album will take the form of a fictional rock opera spanning over 30 songs, with film accompaniment. It's available to pre-order at the band's website with a tentative release date of November 2014.
Its narrative will be inspired by Stickles' experience with manic depression, as well as some philosophical and psychological literature-- including Nietzche's "The Birth of Tragedy" and the 1996 book "Touched With Fire", which explores the impact of manic depression on creativity. Below, read Stickles' elaborate plot description to Missoulian reporter Cory Walsh.
The music itself will be "maybe" more punk-- faster, distorted guitar work-- and the film element, he says, will be like "33 music videos for 33 songs," inspired by one-shot rap videos.
