Best albums of 2018 - playlists in post #1 (1 Viewer)

I think they just have a new single, last album was last year

Liking these Eastern ladies on a breezy Saturday morn.  Math rock?  Maybe.  They play it loose.  Good sound.

That 485C is pretty great too

also, Courtney Barnett is the boss now

I'm really enjoying the new Onyx album, Black Rock.

I haven't listened to an Onyx song since "Slam" back in the 90's.  Their new song came up on some "New Releases" channel and I immediately liked it.  The rest of the album is bad-###, too.  My favorite rap album since RtJ3.

Onyx has a show on June 2 in Medellin (and then another in Bogota).  They are hardcore.  Though I didn't care for them taking out William Gant.

 
WIthout being too negative, that Onyx song and RTJ3 don't belong in the same stratosphere, never mind sentence. I heard two seconds...that's just awful.

Btw... So far, my favorite line from Wide Awake is- I wanted to feel needed, so I fed my cat.

That song is my new favorite #RealLifeShtick with my daughter.... we can randomly be talking about something and I'll be all like "Hey Girl-girl... I'm wide awake!".  A little while later after she's been doing her own thing for a bit: "Sissy, guess what?   I'm wide awake!"  You can pretty much hear her eye rolls at this point.  Good times. 

 
I'm embarrassed to say that Frightened Rabbit has historically escaped my feed.  After listening to a few songs, it's right in my wheelhouse.  Where should I start in terms of albums?

As for which album I will be listening to 10 years from now, probably CSH. But, honestly, Naked Giants blew them off the stage.  Will Toledo is super talented but needs an attitude adjustment in his live setting.

SLUFF is a pretty good album. Seeing CSH this fall with them opening. Looking forward to checkin them out.

I truly love them all. I suspect The Midnight Organ Fight would be their consensus best album, though. 

 
I stumbled across the new Belly yesterday, and totally did not expect to like it as much as I did.  

 
I obviously have to dive back in to Midnight Organ Fight. I loved the greys and kept wanting to go back to that when the Frightened Rabbit itch struck. 

diving now. brb

 
Dream Wife's s/t debut is real solid.  British indie/punk-ish.  Studio album doesn't do it justice how much the guitarist can shred.  Lead singer has some strange vaguely-monotonous sing-talking thing going on, interspersed with basically screaming at the crowd.

"Hey Heartbreaker"

"Kids"

"Let's Make Out" (live)

RIYL:  riot grrrl in general

Low Cut Connie - Dirty Pictures, Pt. 2. Front to back stacked with jams. 

On Dirty Pictures (Part 2), ragged soul-rockers Low Cut Connie harness their live energy within crisp songwriting that’s reverent (but not slavish) toward decades of popular music: gritty honky tonk (“All These Kids Are Way Too High”), gospel-driven rock (“Every Time You Turn Around”), and boogie-woogie blues (the Rolling Stones-esque “Desegregation”). Yet the Philadelphia band’s keen sense of dynamics, as well as deceptively simple lyrics that hint at greater truths, elevate Part 2. On the surface, “Hollywood” is an ascetic acoustic number pleading for kindness from the titular city and its denizens—though dig a little deeper, and it’s easy to extrapolate how the lyrics might function as a metaphor for fame or success. Dirty Pictures (Part 2) is an album for all occasions: whiskey-fueled dance parties in dark bars, heartbroken late-night sobfests, and introspective moments pondering life’s vicissitudes.

RIYL: Pre-1960s rock ’n’ roll. The entire continuum of Philadelphia soul. The Rolling Stones between Beggars Banquet and Exile On Main St. Early E Street Band live gigs.

Start here: “Oh Suzanne,” a stomping, piano-to-the-front barnburner with blazing saxophones that captures the frustration of navigating a dissolving relationship. [Annie Zaleski]

I’m trying to figure out if I like WA! more than HP and it’s hard, which is a huge compliment. I feel like the highs are almost as high but there are fewer duds for me. It’s a great album. Such an underrated guitar tone throughout. 

 
Did anybody listen to Institute's album from last year- Subordination? Total control, Protomartyr kind of vibe- angry ranting style "singing". I had a couple tunes from their earlier eps on spotify playlists, but must have missed the album.

I prefer WA. even the duds are growing on me. new favorite song is Free Bird 2, just for the chorus/refrain.

it's taken me 22hrs to figure out what you were talking about, btw.

It's nice to hear a new band ripping off the Faces and Stones again, especially when they feature barrelhouse piano.  But Low Cut Connie doesn't quite do it for me mostly because I never believe the singer for a second.

This is absolutely the best song on this new one. I think I still prefer Human Performance as a whole but I think the highs are higher on this one, I just think the fact that there are lows on this new one brings it in a bit below HP.

I think there are more duds on HP but it’s nitpicking really. They’re one of the best rock bands going for me. 

 
Today's release radar not as exciting as last week's.

Albums...

Wand

Churches

Wooden shijts

Beach Slang

Braids

Singles..

Echo and bunnymen acoustic gravel voiced redo of seven seas

GOON

ETA...Paul Weller. Not so interesting. Every time he releases new material I get excited, listen and then un-excites. Always "good", just hasn't grabbed me in a long time.

Well yes. Always a pleasure to PQ.

Hey- have you checked out Institute? Mentioned them yesterday...I think you'll like them.

Saw that and had it mentally bookmarked.  I got Idles yet not Protomartyr so we'll see how it goes. I think Tasker's riot grrrrlll band from Britain sounds interesting, too. I'll have to check it out. Spinning La Dispute's Wildlife on vinyl right now (dropping thirty on a record when I have Spotify simply to get a bigger soundstage is a statement that you know I love it) and looking forward to their album later this year.  I think Touche Amore and La Dispute are cutting hardcore records in 2018. I'm really waiting eagerly.

Not sure if someone complained about Release Radar in here or other thread, but I plugged in Release Radar this morning as I left the house and first 3 songs were Good Vibrations by Beach Boys; Rosanna covered by Weezer and this Echo and Bunnymen redo (which is pretty good btw).

Yeah that was over in the Spotify thread started in 2014 that purported to be cutting edge ;)
