Andy Shauf's second album is stellar, best thing I've heard in a hot minute. If you dig Harry Nilsson, Jim O'rourke, Beulah, et al: "The Magician," "Begin Again"

Not really rock but BADBADNOTGOOD are releasing a new album (IV) on July 8th! Cannot wait for that, that's my most anticipated record right now.
New track, featuring Sam Herring

Couldn't even stitch them together with a few new cuts into a 50min album. I've been waiting so long it's hard to care at this point.

That track is smooth.
I'll probably catch them when they play here, they're insanely good live.
Did you see that they're playing in Paris late june ?
I just saw Frankie Cosmos play their first ever euro show and it was really good, same for the Tacocat show i saw last week.
Also the new Wolf Parade EP is quite good, not Apologies good but i didn't expect that anyway
Man I can't even...whole thing is a bummer lol. Seriously does feel like the album doesn't exist at this point.
Wow, this is great! Excited for the record.
Breh the new avatar is flames.
And yeah, Chromatics wtf. Not rushing something is good, but there's a limit.
Does anyone want 2 free tickets to see a band called Bleached tonight in London (Hackney)?
My friend booked the tickets initially, but he can't go now and I'm not really up for going anymore.
This is their music:

Man, the new Car Seat Headrest album is so good! I was worried it was going to be a little long for my tastes but every song is so interesting with a lot going on. Great album

Yup. One of my favourite this year. I'm a sucker for song references in songs.

Saw Beach Slang w. Potty Mouth/Dyke Drama/The Fatal Flaw last night. That was a hell of a show.
Hmm, they are coming to my town on the 9th of June. Maybe I should go and see them then.

The set is mishmash of their own material and covers and snippets of other songs. They play fast and loose with the setlist, they'll barrel straight from one song into another without stopping, or they'll stop mid song and James will talk to the crowd before they crash back into the song where they left off. It's a fun raucous show. Their own material comes across great live, and they hit the crowd favorites with the covers, Jawbreaker, Replacements, The Cure as just a sampling. Last night they did two Nirvana covers, and on the second they swapped a bunch of the band with Potty Mouth and did a Beach Slang/Potty Mouth version of Territorial Pissings and it was killer with Abby and James both belting it out. They played for like an hour and a half, not bothering to leave the stage for an "encore"
The new White Lung is pretty good and the new EP from Rozwell Kid is amazing. Some damn good new music lately.
Awesome. Now I have to go!
Awesome. Now I have to go!
New Colleen Green EP is catchy summery fun as always, the semi-joking "Ramonescore" she's applying to it def fits. Love the song "Disco"
Ooh new Rozwell Kid EP where? Hm I can't find anything about this do you just mean the Good Graphics EP from march last year? That is a damn good ep

Oh man I love Colleen Green, didn't even know she had something new out. Oops.
Also got Oscar's debut album Cut and Paste and L.A> Girlfriends' new album Neon Grey and both of them are really enjoyable.
On the other hand, I am starting to hate the new Eagulls. Very disappointing compared to their self titled after multiple listen.
Yeah, Good Graphics EP
Banquet Records is showing that it came out April this year. Wierd

Anyone listen to Flannel Graph? Can't say that I typically listen to indie folk but I absolutely love all of their music. The Kickstarter for their next EP ends in a few days. Hoping they reach their goal.

Ok, seriously guys, the debut Oscar Album is really good. Very fun and upbeat and his vocals are superb. Has a retro aesthetic and panache and is delivered with good confidence and impeccable production. The sound mixing in some of the tracks are just incredible. The guy may look like a douche but he is a really cool dude in real life.

Got to see him do an in-store performance a couple days ago. Dude is legit and the album is great
First time I saw him (Supporting Sunflower Bean), I didn't like him at all. Came off as someone who took himself too seriously and thought of him a douche until I went home and watched his videos. That guy is just trying to have fun.
Saw him again at Handmade Festival and enjoyed his performance alot more. Glad I went into his album with a more open mind, because its damn good.
Oh shit, this is real good.
Yeah probably the best post-punk record I've heard this year
Stuck in the Google Music ghetto
Hate having to wait for new releases like this.
Any fans of The Leaf Library here? I somehow missed their debut album Daylight Versions last year but it's a fantastic piece of mellow ambient pop. Reminiscent of bands like Stereolab (a bit, in terms of the motorik pop element) and Movietone.

Anyway, they released a new album this year called Nightlight Versions that's a completely ambient reworking of Daylight Versions. Basically they removed all the vocal and percussive elements from Daylight and came up with another gorgeous album, which really emphasizes the strength of their music. Great stuff.

New Dino Jr. coming up in August, hell yea.
edit: gave that Fews album a try today. Gotta assume I'm missing something, because it didn't do a damn thing for me.

Me too, had a few (no pun intended) listen and wasn't feeling it. Could be another Viet Cong where it took me ages to finally come around liking it, but so far, this Fews record has been a big fat meh.
I just found it a little generic sounding. Was alright I guess, but it did nothing to grab me.
I can hear some baggage from the Voidz, and that's great. The Strokes definitely needed some of the experiment.
Need the song to grow on me - if that's the case - yet. On first listen, it's alright.
I'm liking Oblivius. Drag Queen is kinda interesting too.
I haven't enjoyed any of their albums post Room on Fire. Which is sad for me because Is This It is easily in my top 3-4 rock records ever and I grew up a total Strokes fanboy. Their recent stuff just doesn't do it for me.
New track by INHEAVEN. Love it. Everything they do is gold. One of my favourite new band out there. They are fun live as well.
