Hitch Hikin' is lovely. The stripped back stuff is great. There Goes My Miracle is horrible. By his recent standards, it's a terrific record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Black Midi album out yesterday. I think it transfers to record better than I thought it might, but maybe it helped that I'd heard most of it already - not sure what I'd have made of it if I were coming to it cold. A nod to the Palehound album the other week as well. And some albums from earlier in the year that I might or might not have already mentioned but that have grown on me in the interim - Wand, Rozi Plain, Calva Louise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't make it to the end of the Black Midi record. As pretentious as it sounds, I'm not quite sure it's designed to be listened to as a conventional album. It lacks the structure (such as it was) of the Fall. It feels like an hour, rather than the listed 43 minutes. I don't know what to make of it, and usually that's a good thing, but I could never picture myself thinking, "Oh, lets put on some Black Midi." The insufferably obnoxious Guardian music editor hates it, which is another arrow to their bow, or whatever the phrase is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Currently playing two recent albums. Bedouine’s Bird Songs of a Killjoy is just lovely late 60s inspired folk, by way of Syria and Laurel Canyon. She’ll be on Jools Holland soon enough. Dylan LeBlanc still has his high pitched register, but the plaintiff country has been replace by an 80s rock sound. RIYL The War on Drugs. Not sure what to make of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to make of it. I absolutely love this record. I could previously take or leave his vocal but The War On Drugs-esque sound suits it perfectly. The title track in particular is great. Since he’s gotten The Pollies as his backing band, both live and on record he’s properly stepped up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to rock out pretty hard live with his earlier albums, but this is something else. Wasn’t sure about the first couple of songs, but them aside it’s great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favourite off it right now is probably Shine A Little Light, great opener for the album. Walk across the water was the one that stood out for me. I had to double take that I wasn’t listening to pink Floyd near the end of that track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamJags Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 The Laura Stevenson record is really, really good. The more I listen to it, the more enamoured I become with it. Gutted I missed her Glasgow gig last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBadgers Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The Black Keys is a pretty enjoyable album, some good fun tunes on here. Pretty consitant band Would recommend the The Black Pumas album, their first one if you like a bit of soul. Also Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett has an entertaining blues,rocky,country album out which is good fun. Dream Theaters new album is pretty average. So many of bands ive listened since teens really struggling of late. Really getting into newer stuff and older 60s-80s now. Getting old obvs. Rammstein, Weezer, Dream Theater etc have all been average at best. Im glad I can still enjoy new music though, Im not finding it noise as I get older. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
