I was liking this one today too. 

Sounds interesting.  May check it out. 

 

[Amused to Death]

Israeli singer Ninet Tayeb just released her first US album, "Paper Parachute".  I love the whole album but there isn't much on youtube (yet).  Here's a track called "Child". 

 

[Northern Voice]

Some terrible band names in these last few posts.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Anybody in the mood for some fun 80s pop sounding stuff - I found the  Party Nails ep  a fun listen. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

Another one I have been digging on is Orango - The Mules of Nana.  Norwegian band doing some southern blues rock. 

Heirs

Didn't even know there was a new Ty Segall album.

 

[Eephus]

Syd tha Kyd's solo album is kind of a disappointment.  She doesn't have enough variety in her voice and songwriting to carry an album without the funkiness of The Internet behind her.

Moon Duo's new one is less guitar dominated than their previous records (or RIpley Johnson's work with Wooden Shjips) but it's still pretty cool head trip music.  RIYL that King Gizzard record that came out last year.

I listened to Moon Duo again and I want to retract the King Gizzard comp.  The Lizard Wizard is in the garage and Moon Duo in the laboratory above it.

 

[Jaysus]

All this KGATLW talk has me anxious for their release next week.

 

[kupcho1]

Isn't there always a new Ty Segall album?

I prefer Fuzz to his solo albums. 

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm reversing course, new Japandroids rules.

 

[El Floppo]

*alert*

the new orwells is out- part way through and I have a strong feeling it will be on my year end list.

cool- I have to go back in... was (eta- WASN'T)  turning any cranks at first blush.

 

[Limp Ditka]

I know I'll give it another listen, but didn't grab me. And that direction (NESW or whatever it's called) song is simply god awful

Arc of Bar tho...

That's one of my favorites on the album :|

 

[dal_boys_phan]

Robert Randolph & The Family Band have a new one out today "Got Soul"

Just one listen through and really digging it - will be back again for this one to take additional listens for sure.

Decent cover of Sam & Dave's "I Thank You" and a new song/single "Love Do What It Do" with Darius Rucker

Anything like Mastodon or Red Fang out recently?

 

[KarmaPolice]

Anything like Mastodon or Red Fang out recently?

I saw that Mastodon has a new song on Spotify, I assume they have a new album coming up this year?

 

[JZilla]

I like the Hootie song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvENXHX6v3s

New Mastodon out Mar 31.  I like one single, the other not as much, about right.. sounds like Mastodon tho

As for heavier stuff I think the record I've liked best so far is Johnny Mountain II, not gonna change anybody's life but it's worth checking out.  Also Kung Funghi.  Swedes are good at metal.

I haven't had time to decide how I feel about Japandroids or Orwells yet

Lack of torrents have messed with my music-checking-out routine, because I used to just load up an mp3 CD and do that stuff in the car, during my 40 minute commute.  I don't like having to fart around with the phone.

I don't know if anybody else has a newer Ford with the SYNC system, but it doesn't play very nice with Spotify.  Two bloated pieces of dook

 

[KarmaPolice]

A few that I have enjoyed listening to the last couple days:

The Courtneys - The Courtneys II

      Silver Velvet

Hanni El Khatib - Savage Times

        Paralyzed

Meat Wave - The Incessant

        The Incessant

Novella - Change of State

       Does the Island Know

 and if you like some long meandering proggy,  psych-rock:

Kairon; IRSE! - Ruination

         Sinister Waters II

 

[rockaction]

Menzingers sound like pretty good pop-punk, which is what they're known for, right? They tour with PUP all the time.  

 

[rockaction]

I didn't like it upon first listen. At all. It got better after a few times.

this is cool

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Beachheads' self-titled is a pretty good little power pop album. Dude(s?) from Kvelertak. 

 

[Eephus]

I really like the new Cloud Nothings album Life Without Sound.  It retains most of the energy of their previous releases but with more variety and hooks.

I'm not quite as sold yet on Hard Love by Strand of Oaks.  Their last record was one of my 2014 favorites but the new one takes some odd turns that don't all work for me.  Hopefully, it'll be a grower.

 

[Brony]

Long time fan of Sun Kil Moon and whatever Mark Kozalek puts an interest in, but Jeez Looeez this latest album is the biggest turd in a stretch of turds.

I think the last couple were bad and the new one especially so

Wow.  I'm not sure I like it but that's some range

The bassist and guitarist apparently

 

[Northern Voice]

I really like the new Cloud Nothings album Life Without Sound.  It retains most of the energy of their previous releases but with more variety and hooks.

 It reminds me a bit more of Attack on Memory than the other two, but that's my favourite of theirs anyway. I think this one is a bit mellower than Here and Nowhere Else.

 

[Northern Voice]

Menzingers sound like pretty good pop-punk, which is what they're known for, right? They tour with PUP all the time.  

Yeah, I like this one too, it's not as heavy/hard as PUP but it's really good.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Not 100% on the vocals yet, but the music of Crystal Fairy will rock your balls.  Mix of people from The Melvins, At the Drive In, and La Butcherettes. 

 

[El Floppo]

I'm diving into the new Dirty Projectors this morning... low expectations, as my own relationship with the band is all over the place. definitely have to be in the right mood for almost all of it (although their cover of Rise Above is one of my favorite songs)

 

[KarmaPolice]

Also a new King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard out today.  Listening to it now. 

 

[JZilla]

Pissed Jeans out today

 

[Jaysus]

Also a new King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard out today.  Listening to it now. 

Me too.... I do not know much about them, but Nonagon Infinity was my favorite album of 2016.  They seem wierd. 

P.S. apparently they have several new albums that will be released this year

 

[Jaysus]

Ok, so I do not know who Ron Gallo is, but spotify pointed me to his new Heavy Meta album that I am kinda digging right now. Not sure how I would describe it, punky garage rock maybe?  I dunno, It kinda rocks and kinda rolls.  I have a feeling it is going to stick in my rotation for a bit.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

My saved albums queue is getting unreasonable and unmanageable.

Me too, and I still can not stop playing 2 or 3 albums from last year that I am in man-love with. (Jeff Rosenstock and Direct Hit! mainly)

Love that Jeff Rosenstock album.

I am on the Ryan Adams bandwagon.

I liked this a lot on first listen

Haven't listened yet but I think the loss of his girlfriend/band partner might be a plus for me.

 

[Northern Voice]

New Los Campesinos out today as well.

 

[El Floppo]

Haven't listened yet but I think the loss of his girlfriend/band partner might be a plus for me.

First blush, it misses her distinct vocals

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Pissed Jeans out today

Probably my most anticipated otY.      Their last 3 have been elite upper tier for me.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Also, this would totally be a hoof smiley.   

 

[JZilla]

Yeah he is money all through that vid

They made up a silly song on the fly last night about the opening band, that dude was killing it on the skins

They ####### rule

Artists apparently don't want to sell CDs anymore, only records and tapes, so they'll have to be content with the four tix I bought
