Definitely needed trimmed and another once over on the productions a lot of the tracks sound like demos of better songs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With great lyrics, fine tunes, and some tremendous pedal-steel work, this is well worth a listen. I'm a fan. I've recommended it to a few folk over the past week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hate myself for it. I can understand not wanting to like them. It's all a bit middle class and arty, and that thing with the snorkel at the Brits wouldn't have endeared them to me if I didn't already know of them. The music rises above any such considerations though. I'd have given them album of the year already, if there weren't still a Parquet Courts album to come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Technically we are into 2022 with this one as it's not out til February but here is the first track available from the second BCNR album. I adore their debut but I'm just not feeling this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Foot Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Finally got around to listening to Dinosaur Jr's new album. Phenomenal. They've somehow managed not to change a thing about their sound in the last 30 years, which is exactly how it should be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Check out Basketball Shoes in particular, if you don't know it already.) I suspect that one has been picked as the first single mostly because it's short enough to get more airplay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Halsey's new album 'If I can't have love, I want power' is really, really good. Words I never thought I'd say until I found out Trent Raznor produced it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last album didn't live up to the promise of its singles, iirc, but I shall look out for next one nonetheless. Another album that's not due until 2022, but I've had the new Bodega single in my head all today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Another shout for Cavalcade by Black Midi. I hardly ever get remotely excited about modern bands, but I absolutely love the Black Midi lads, and I cannae wait to hear what they do next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Not sure anything will beat that Madlib record this year but have had these two on repeat the past fortnight. Don Letts Late Night Tales is a peach too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I’m getting to old to be this much in love with an unknown band like I did all those years ago [emoji23]When this album is released in a couple of weeks I hope they get the success they deserve. I don’t think anyone can touch them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve recently watched a few of their live performances on You Tube for the first time and they look nothing like I imagined they would. The singer looks like he’s about 14! The drummer is an absolute tour de force as well. Edited October 21, 2021 by ArabGaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think they must be quite young - they can play like f**k, and wee Geordie has a massive voice - the drummer is phenomenal, as you say - he's been playing since the age of 2, apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Norman Records are delivering the album tomorrow morning. I couldn't wait that long. Fired up Spotify and plugged in the cans at 1 minute past 12 for my first listen of "Sympathy Of Life" by Parquet Courts. I can't think of many bands who get me so excited at the release of a new album, (maybe Yo La Tengo or Comet Gain) but the early signs for this, their 9th in 10 years left me a bit disappointed. I thought the first two tracks released "Walking At A Downtown Pace" and "Black Widow Spider" were a bit PC by numbers. Thankfully, they are comfortably the two worst tracks on the album. It's not their best by any stretch of the imagination but "Marathon Of Anger", "Plant Life", "Trullo" and "Pulcinella" are early favourites and up there with their best. I just wish they had included the full 10 minute version of "Plant Life" instead of the shorter version included here. On first listen, a solid 8 out of 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
