Dang, Haim is catchy. I'm officially homo.

Yes, just as of right now.

[Possum]

Im loving Blitzen Trapper's new album VII. It's got a more swamp rock type sound and a little different for them, but it works. Fun album, and Eric Earley is a helluva song writer. Probably one of the most underrated songwriters out there.

Feel The Chill

Earth

yeah, I've only listened to it once so far but I'm digging it, and I agree on his songwriting.

did you ever give the John Moreland album a spin?

I did briefly, and listened to the whole thing this morning. It didnt hit me like Jason Isbell's album, but there are definitely a lot of great lyrics from Moreland.

fair enough

I listened to "Aquarius" and want to work my way up to their latest (their 3rd?). They sound really good except for (what I call) the circus music. The first album tended to stray off-course for my taste, but I do want to hear how they've progressed.

Good band recommendation and a nice find though

The circus music in the middle of Celestial Elixir is my favorite part of my favorite song. It just comes out of nowhere. I would say that the 2nd (Visions) and 3rd (The Mountain) are certainly progressed away from that.

Listened to all 3 and I like 'Visions' the best.

Can't stop listening to The Wire.

Dang, Haim is catchy. I'm officially homo.

Can't stop listening to The Wire.

Sounds like someone folded when it came down to the wire...

PS love you

Haim is ridiculously good. Unlike anything I listen to which makes it sound even better.

 

[Apple Juice]

Any Mazzy Star fans? Seasons of Your Day is pretty great.

Seriously?

 

[Kenny Powers]

Im glad to see Corey Haim has made a nice comeback and turned it all around. Bravo.

I really like it too.

I knew this was coming out and then I forgot about it.

 

[Workhorse]

Can't stop listening to The Wire.

Really? Lots of Wilson Phillips flashbacks on that tune. Seriously overproduced.

 

[mphtrilogy]

Atlas genius!

 

[commisholio]

Any Mazzy Star fans? Seasons of Your Day is pretty great.

I like it just fine, but still doesn't really stand up to She Hangs Brightly for me.

 

[bosoxs45]

Bill Callahan - Dream River

(singer-songwriter)

 

[Time Kibitzer]

Definitely not normally into the singer/songwriter type stuff, but I really like this song: Agnes Obel - The Curse. Rest of the album is relatively solid too.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

New Cults album has some decent tracks. Particularly like this one: I Can Hardly Make You Mine. A fair bit heavier than their last album.

Heh, woops. Fixed the link

 

[Disco Stu]

New Frog Eyes album released on bandcamp. He found out he had throat cancer shortly after finishing up the album.

This one has grown on me quite a bit on repeated relistens.

it sounds a lot like She Hangs, which is remarkable considering the time difference

Hope Sandoval. Her voice has held up well, takes me back to the mid 90s.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Cage The Elephant's new one is solid. A pretty different sound from them. Less in your face riffs as they take it down a few notches with a more melodic and psychedelic approach that sounds Revolver/Rubber Soul Beatlesque at times, surprising as that may sound. Definitely liking so far.

Come A Little Closer

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Lucy Schwartz, Timekeeper. Singer songwriter type album. It's growing on me.

Bump. Lucy got lost in the Haim tidal wave. "Turn your light on me" is in heavy rotation.

We'll always have Emergency & I and Change, I suppose.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

We'll always have Emergency & I and Change, I suppose.

There are a couple stinkers on here near the front but I liked the 2nd half of the new record pretty well.

Emergency & I

Just bought a re-released copy on Vinyl from Amazon.

 

[bosoxs45]

Courtney Barnett:The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Really digging My Name Is My Name, even the slower jams. Great stuff.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Crystal Antlers is good.

Crystal Antlers is good.

Wait is that a supergroup?

You're probably thinking Chickenfoot.

Nah, that's a super-duper group

My favorite album this year so far:

Causa Sui - Euporie Tide Warning, the album cover is NSFW.

If you like psychedelic/stoner rock, definitely check it out.

 

[Fly]

Digging the new Cass McCombs album "Big Wheel and Others".

Thanks, I enjoyed that. Perfect background instrumental music.

Murder City Devils are making a quick swing through TX, nerds.

Okkervil River - The Silver Gymnasium

 

[wazoo11]

darkside is good stuff.

 

[Disco Stu]

Okkervil River - The Silver Gymnasium

They are in "can do no wrong" territory for me.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I'm afraid to listen to this Arcade Fire album. Really feel like I'm not going to like this one.

It will have detractors. I'm not sure what side I'm on yet.

 

[zoonation]

Love that album

 

[Ghost Rider]

I'm afraid to listen to this Arcade Fire album. Really feel like I'm not going to like this one.

I really like it so far. It is a bit different for them, but in a good way. I think it will go down as one of my favorites of the year, probably in the 2nd tier with the ones by Dream Theater, The Flaming Lips and Spock's Beard. Nothing will come close to topping the Steven Wilson masterpiece, IMO.
