what new stuff is good?

[boing!]

The new Ben Frost album - By the Throat is awesome.... I'm caning it at the moment.

I loved Theory Of Machines. Will have to check this out.

 

[bluestreak]

if you like a bit of drum and bass the new sub focus album is alright (i've only had a quick listen however)

the new dizzee rascal album is more of the same, and i swear there was another album i was going to get hold of but i forgot what it was

aw sweet forgot about sub focus, will go check that out now thanks!

 

[bluestreak]

The Low Anthem - Oh My God, Charlie Darwin

not a new band, but it's a new album (well, not tremendously new actually), and it's really rather good

not sure what sort of stuff you're into though

almost everything except acid techno, most house, and mainstream hip hop.

i'd forgotten that i heard good things about that album so it's next on my list. cheers soj.

 

[bluestreak]

listening now as sub focus wasn't as good as i was hoping. this is nice. good recommend sojourner, thanks.

I love the xx album.

Didn't really do it for me. Nothing wrong with it, just a bit... wet.

The wutars!!!! the mirror and gary corwly/bbc have shown them love this week.

The wutars. I love them like they were my best mates.

Sounds like they don't know if they want to be Wheatus or the Libertines.

 

[dodgepot]

maybe not that new, but yesterday i had a listen to and found that i like Invasion - a metal band with vocals from chantel ex of do me bad things.



WTF!?? i've just noticed the comments by some twat underneath the video

 

[bluestreak]

musically it's average but her vocals really make it.

Welcome to youtube.

I quite like this, although I feel like I shouldn't

 

[dodgepot]

yeah, i love her voice. although i loved do me bad things music, it was her vocals that were the main attraction.

 

[strummerville]

New Richard Hawley record is really rather good if not a bit obvious.

 

[Ludders]

Mammal - Vol 2: Systematic/Automatic. Hard/rock funk
Profane Omen - Inherit the Void. Proper groooove metal, whiffs of Pantera.
Cloudkicker - The Map is not the Territory. Proggy/metally/rocky, brilliiant stuff, he's a one man band as well..
SlipKnoT - Self Titled, re master + Bonus tracks. Flat out metally goodness, people love to hate 'em, but Corey's lyrics have it.
Mastodon - Crack the Skye. Mind expanding shit, progressive metal at its finest...

Enjoy!

 

[stavros]

I haven't got the album yet, but what I've heard of the new Fuck Buttons LP sounds pretty good.

 

[clandestino]

Didn't really do it for me. Nothing wrong with it, just a bit... wet.

Shame. I think it's incredible.

 

[cliche guevara]

Am still listening to Mumford & Sons on a regular basis.

cheers, i like the mastodon album and i think the first slipknot album has aged very well considering how much i hated them the first time round. i'll check them out.

oooh, i like this.

 

[Fingertips.net]

Still quite into the Girls album. Charm does start to wear off after about 30 listens though.

 

[sim667]

listening now as sub focus wasn't as good as i was hoping. this is nice. good recommend sojourner, thanks.

I cant decide about it

some tracks are good, some are just wank.....

it is growing on me.

 

[boing!]

I second the recomendation of Invasion. Been listening to them quite a bit lately.
Other new(ish) stuff I've been enjoying...

Why? - Eskimo Snow - pretty songs in an Anticon style.
Manatees - big doomy riffs, with post rocky/ Isis atmospheric bits
Lightning Dust - Infinite Light- erm, folky (I hate using that term in such a lazy way, but fuck it, you know what I mean...) indie rock. Nice voice, lovely songs.
Bibio - Ambivalence Avenue - sort of lofi taped folk recordings meets wonky electronics.

 

[sam/phallocrat]

Ghengis Tron anyone?

 

[sojourner]

listening now as sub focus wasn't as good as i was hoping. this is nice. good recommend sojourner, thanks.

y'welcome

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Listening to the new Anti-Pop Consortium album right now ... very good indeed!

 

[cliche guevara]

Today I have discovered Radio Moscow. Licktastic blues rock, it's awesome.

 

[sojourner]

today I have discovered Castanets - Texas Rose Thaw and the Beasts

it is fucking ACE - and I do mean ACE

but every link I ever look at spells the album name differently

 

[DotCommunist]

Death Cab for Cutie are quite good

 

[cliche guevara]

Ghengis Tron anyone?

Yes please! Board Up The House was in my top ten records of last year. Can't see many urbs liking them though.

 

[cliche guevara]

Death Cab for Cutie are quite good

New album isnt up to much, other than the lead track, but Plans and Transatlanticism are both fantastic.

 

[futha]

Still quite into the Girls album. Charm does start to wear off after about 30 listens though.

I am on my second listen through, first them was 'meh' this time is 'wow'

 

[Vider]

Kings of Leon the first few albums are a safe-bet. just good rock and roll albums if you ask me. I am sure they'll be far too mainstream for some on here, but a lot of the hype is well-deserved. good albums.
