Wolf Alice put out their deluxe edition of 'My Love is Cool' on Spotify and I didn't even realise. 5 or 6 new songs not on their previous EP's on it.
Also this is cool, leaving the album sleeve of 'Blackstar' in the sun turns it into a galaxy of stars

Lush lo-fi folky-droney-poppy stuff. Beautiful album.
Also the Basket video is great

Rumours of a Talking Heads reunion tour and new album. http://louderthanwar.com/talking-heads-reform/
The main source on that is a satire site looks like\
Also I don't think I'd even want this. They're old and wouldn't perform as well. plus the more I've read about the band over the years the more I'm convinced Chris and Tina are just moneyhungry assholes. like how they tried to kick Byrne out of the band for Adrian Belew then refused to give Belew any credit or money for making Tom Tom Club good. not to mention No Talking Just Head. David probably has never spearheaded a reunion because he doesn't want to spend time around them

Two weeks until Beach Slang plays here. Wish I was able to see last night's show, Jawbreaker's Adam Pfahler played drums for them when they covered Boxcar!

I am planning to do a brief write up on Handmade Festival but the briefest version of that are, that it was an amazing experience filled with great performance, awesome discoveries, and overall a happy atmosphere. Will be there again next year!
Good to know. I am actually excited to hear that album and see them live in about a month time.
Didn't realise this is their 4th album. Damn, can't believe they are this prolific.

If you'll excuse me, I'd like to pimp a friend's band Museum Mouth. They just released a new album and are touring with Say Anything, mewithoutYou, and Teen Suicide.

Nice, SFA are one of my favorite bands. Really looking forward to hearing what they have in store.

They're playing the whole album as part of an anniversary tour at the moment, so not that obscure... as far as "bands no one has thought about in 20 years" goes at least, heh.

AnCo fans that were dispapointed by PW, try to listen to their two live shows they put out on their Bandcamp page (for a pay what you want fee).
Lying in the Grass
On delay
Loch Raven
Shit is miles better.
Except Gnip Gnop.
Which is probably the worst thing the've ever done.

Thanks for giving it a listen! It kinda bums me out that a consistently good band like Local H has fallen by the wayside.
Ha, didn't realize that.

I've gotten super into TV on the Radio over the last few days. Found them, like more than a few I'm sure, through the inclusion of DLZ on the S2 episode of Breaking Bad. Now most of the time when I get into a new band I crawl through one album at a time but the brief sampling of their stuff I've gotten has been so consistently great across albums that I'm torn on which to buy first. Some favorites:
Wolf Like Me
Lazerray - literally had this one stuck in my head for like 3 days straight
Golden Age
Second Song
Happy Idiot
Family Tree
And of course the aforementioned DLZ

Sound of Ceres - Nostalgia for Infinity
New band from former Candy Claws members. The sound is very similar to Candy Claws, especially in the vocal department, but it's less dense and a bit more loungey. Really good.

That was meeeeeeeeee
Been listening to it alot. I really miss the melodic type of shoagzing that doen't sloly revolve around noise and heavy reverb and feedback.
It reminds me alot of Black Twig, which you really absolutely have to check out. Their new album just came out, but their 2014 release ''Heliogram'' was one of my favorite records that year.

This Whitney album is the real deal. I was hopeful after liking each of the singles, didn't know if a full LP of them would satisfy though. Definitely does. Incredible production, precise without calling attention to itself, expansive and warm with every sound mixed or panned to just the right place. Even mix of psych-pop, soul, and folk. even a sort of jazzy interlude that they completely pull off.
Gonna have to check these out, really like both of those tracks.
Vocals were a little off putting at first, but once you get into the song (especially Golden Days) they fit the music.
One of my absolute all time favorite bands! Such a great sound and range (the newer work is somewhat less experimental than their earlier stuff but I still loved Seeds a lot).
Check out the live recordings of Young Liars, such a beast live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_83cD_g5Wa4
Peeped the whole album. It's great!
And I just learned it's former Smith Westerns members. Not surprised, they were great also.
Mhm, Max is a stellar songwriter and, now that this and Cullen Omori's solo debuts are out, I think it's clear he was the key member of the band. (Open to Cullen surprising in the future though.) And while he drummed for all of the third SW album, the influence of Julien being tour drummer for UMO came across more than Smith Westerns for me
Wait... Smith Westerns broke up?
Judging by their reunion tour, I don't have much faith. Please be good.

It was great, been 3 times, going again.
Whoa for real? I just watched the Coachella performance and Ian sounded awful. Good to hear they're back in form.
In the UK, at least, it's amazing. Ian Brown and the crowd harmonise, and it all just works. Him attempting to sing over a dead crowd would probably be awful though.
He's a bad singer, but when you're there and 60,000 are singing along with him, it's amazing.
Checked this out this morning. Beautiful album. And think you nailed it with the "loungey" descriptor. Works really well here.Sound of Ceres - Nostalgia for Infinity

Stone Roses song is a bit of a banger. Loving the riff
Its really good, from the couple of tracks I have heard. I am waiting untill this tuesday to buy it once I see them live.
Really looking forward to it.
Amazing band. I wish I could get into them for the first time all over again. If money is no object, I say go chronologically through their catalog. Start with the Young Liars EP and move forward. Cookie Mountain is maybe the best representative album but I think it's all worthwhile.

I wasn't blown away by it but it does sound like Stone Roses which is all you can really ask for coming from a 21-year break.
Definitely. Already listened through it twice and I love it. I'm going to need to adjust to his voice a bit but the instrumentation is on point which was pretty much my experience with the first album. My favorites out of the ones they haven't released as singles so far are Velvet and White Lie Lullaby.
Really enjoying the new Twin Peaks that came out today. More laid back than their earlier work, but has some really good early 70's Stones vibes.
I kinda wish they stuck with the one Mick Jagger-esque vocalist on all the songs, though. Don't know his name, but he's way better than the other quieter one.

Yes, I'm loving it! I thought their last one was hit or miss but this is solid all the way through. 'Wanted You' is such a jam

Yes, this one is great. That chorus is pure Stones swag.
I also love Cold Lips. Dem horns.

Fuckin' lol @ Johnny releasing two "new" Chromatics EPs filled with a bunch of previously available material. Dear Tommy doesn't exist, dude, it's okay to admit that.

My favourite band Billy Talent is releasing an album July 29th, and just recently released their lead single "Afraid of Heights"
Billy Talent rarely disappoint me, and even though this is a slight departure from their previous material, I'm still really enjoying it.

Yet another Danish Post-Punk band, Less Win, and they are releasing their debut ''TRUST'' album in June. They just posted their first track, ''Rituals'' and it sounds great. Another band to keep and eye on:

Now Thats a catchy track. Will check out their album, maybe, since summer is packed with so many great releases.
