I know people here (myself included) enjoyed Bully's debut album. Vice did an autobiographical style video with Alicia that was a good watch

Watched the one from a couple weeks ago for Alex G, also worth a watch

For those of you that haven't checked out the Whitney album yet, I highly recommend doing so. I can't say enough good things about it. It's just phenomenal from beginning to end. It's an album that was great for summer and still fits in with the transition of summer to fall. I'd say this is pretty easily my album of the year right now.

It's good! Great confy power pop rec.
Yup it's so good. and definitely playing even better for me in late summer than it did upon release. Lot of great brass all over the record, Kakacek's still a master of catchy guitar lines. "Follow" is one of my favorite songs of the year.
Couldn't convince my friends to stay for their set at pitchfork this year, wish I'd gotten to see more but the 10 minutes I did see were a ton of fun.
I guess Allison Crutchfield and her band are staying at my house this weekend before their Pittsburgh show... Not really sure what to expect haha. My GF's sister directed their music video and hooked them up with us.
I'm guessing they'll get us into the show... maybe hook us up with their new record?

Totally agree. I can understand why people may be turned off by his voice though. Took me a couple listens to get past it but now it's great and is just a perfect companion with the music
wtf, you serious?? Lmao, that's crazy.
So apparently members of Miike Snow and Peter Bjorn and John and Lykke Li have formed a band ''Liv''
Wat
Here is their first track ''Wing of Love''

I'd come to expect this push but I was still holding out a little hope that J saying a while back the newalbum was coming this year would happen. who cares, I'll eventually hear new spiritualized! Also hope he tours Ladies And Gentlemen.
would def be cool if you could get to hear a few tracks! I always wanted to love Swearin' because a few of their songs were incredible"Kenosha" especially is an absolute favoritebut their lps never came together for me. But her solo EP's good (especially the songs with Radiator Hospital's Sam) and I've been hopeful this new project'll have her firing on all cylinders
Yknow normally I get it when people don't like a voice. It's pretty rare for me, vocals/lyrics are generally low on the list of things that catch my ear and I don't care if a singer sounds "different" (e.g Newsom, Elverum) as long as it complements the music. With Whitney, though, I've honestly been confused as to why it's even a sticking point for so many. I didn't notice anything off about it and then I read a bunch of reviews/comments saying he made the band hard to like lol. I'm just not at all discerning when it comes to voices I guess.
I think Sam is in the new band so he will be staying over as well. I love Swearin' so I was sad to see they are done (I think?). I'll report if anything interesting happens this weekend.
I've started to really get into portrait photography, so maybe I can ask them to pose for something.
Really good - I saw her twice a few months apart and you could really tell the progression from that extra time spent touring. As you probably know the band didn't directly work on the album, but some of the slower songs sounded fuller as you could tell they worked on fleshing them out more. They were a trio the first time around, but another guitarist joined the band by the second show and I enjoyed that.
I just came back from the Frankie Cosmos show and that was so good too. They played for about an hour, which for them means you're hearing about 25 songs! Beach Fossils will be my next gig, and I think that will be like my 7th time seeing them.

I've to somehow pull enough money together to pay for my Glastonbury ticket at the weekend. Wish me luck guys

Damn, you're right. Should be good to go so! Good luck King Moc in the ticket scramble, presume you're going next year?
Yup, done 11 in a row, damned if i'm stopping now.
The coach ticket resale is easy to get a ticket in, so that's a good fallback plan anyway.
New Menace Beach Album ''Lemon Memory'' announced and out on January 20th.
New track ''Maybe We'll Drown'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8wHP56Dyzo
Looking forward to it. Thought their debut was one of the best that year.
Also, Tall Ships Finally announce their second album. Took them only 5 years. The new album is coming out 10th of February. Can't wait.

Saw Joyce Manor live in SF yesterday. Great show. The few songs they played off the new album are great. It's also going to cause some controversy within their fan base, as this is the album where they are going to leave a lot of them behind.
If you have an opportunity to see them this fall you should definitely do so. Oh, and arrive early - The Hotelier are great as well.

yeah the preview tracks kind of follow the track they laid with NHA. although i think they kind of pulled back the catchiness on "the last you heard of me" especially in comparison to fake ID. I think Fake ID is really rad but last you heard of me didn't grab me at all. I thought it was kind of underwhelming
i think a lot of their fans don't really like the more polished, catchy joyce manor, they like the rougher, punkier stuff like from "of all things.." "collection" and their s/t. i've met some people who can't stand never hungover, although i don't get that at all because that album is fucking awesome.
can't wait to listen to this album tonight
crying fucking rules i am super sad i missed out on last night's show
(((
also hello from the emo thread

the Crying were pretty good.
They did their job well as the opener and the crowd was definitely into it. It was certainly worth it to get there early to see them.

Every single I've heard from the new Kings of Leon has been great. Reverend got released this morning. It's so good

hmm the new Joyce Manor is definitely more mellow/subdued feeling. I'll have to give it a few more listens, but first impressions is a little lukewarm. "Fake ID," "Eighteen," "Last You Heard of Me," "Stairs," and "This Song is a Mess But So Am I" are my favs on first run through.

I would have paid the same amount if I had the money, so no you are not mad.

Anyone listen to the new Sonic Avenues?
Saw Animal Collective on Friday. Was a pretty wild show. Though I only know a handful of their songs it was still really fun.
also Allison Crutchfield and the Fizz last week was fun. I think their album on Merge next year will be great. Sam from Radiator Hospital is in the band as well and said they have something new coming and he has another new project that is kinda like Hall & Oates.
they stayed over my house before going to Chicago. Took a portrait of Allison:

The new Solange album (A Seat at the Table) is clearly alternative R&B, genre-wise, and it's good.
Pixies' "Head Carrier" was okay. Nothing particularly memorable about it. Maybe I need to try harder to let it grow on me. *DISCLAIMER* I've never liked Pixies that much.
The new Springtime Carnivore album (Midnight Room) is kind of disappointing. I like Greta Morgan but she had something good going with the dreampop feel of her previous self-titled album. But, maybe my expectations are too high. It's solid indie pop but she could push things further with her dreamy vocal effects. Her association with La Sera may be to a detriment, unfortunately, as La Sera (Katy Goodman) is veering on the course of boring indie rock these days.
Honestly, I think I'm getting too picky. People say 2016 has been one of the greatest years in music in a while but I often find it merely okay. I think I have personal problems.
