New video from Dutch garage rock outfit Canshake Pi. Think Pavement if you want a reference for their sound. Oh and Malkmus produced the album, out next week

New Japandroids and Cloud Nothings albums dropping the same day is a dream come true! Loving both the new tracks they dropped.
Seeing Peej tonight, can't wait
Read the past few pages of this thread, added 3 bands to my library to listen too. I love this thread.
Listening to Big Thief right now, sounds ace so far.
Alaska's catchy as shit. I tried to resist it and couldn't. Great video too. don't like Dog Years nearly as much, and haven't heard her early folk records, but I'll be there when she drops an lp
Saw Kate Tempest and Tortoise live yesterday (in a festival curated by Savages). Let Them Eat Chaos is probably my album of the year, and that gig confirms it.
Tortoise was amazing! I was in the front row so the drums made quite the impression, especially when two guys were going at it. They closed with Crest, which is my favorite song.
Today was sold out so I can't see Savages. tbh though I thought their new album was kind of a letdown after the incredible debut. 'Evil' of the new one seemed to recapture that feeling, but the rest... meh.

Guy kind of reminds me of Stephin Merritt

I never thought Donald Glover had that soulful voice in him.
More of that on the next Childish Gambino record and it'll probably be one of my favourite records next year. "Me and your Mama" might be my favourite song this year.
Also the new XX single has "In Colour"'s influence all over it, looking forward to the new record as well.

This is a great album! Thanks for sharing
Yes this I'm looking forward to!
yeah i've been told they have been recording in Paris for some time now
2017 looking great
I've been pimping The Boxer Rebellion on GAF for the better part of 11 years now. We saw them last night for about the 8th time or so and I took a short video of one of their older songs that I really love. But honestly, their catalog is exceptional.

I thought it was average at best, just like their first album.
only song I really remember from it is "Entertainment." Awesome song.
Wolfgang was like 10 songs that all could have been singles. What an album.
Fleet Foxes just posted this
Hey
We have two shows happening next year that are ready to announce - the BBK Live festival in Bilbao, Spain, and the Vida Festival in Barcelona. Late June / early July. Many more to come worldwide, our third album is almost done and we're very... very... very excited

Another nice single from Childish Gambino, seems he's going all in on the soul front for this album which is a nice change of pace.
Meatwave new music:
They have a good idea and the whole jammy punk/funk music is a nice listen in small digests, but somehow, they just become repetitive for my liking. For what its worth, I think their second one is slightly better than their first. The first one was snoozer.
Damn
I fucking love it, Post Funk is my jam.

My Dad couldn't go at the last minute so I got to see Paul Simon tonight. Wish I was half the performer he was and at his age too. 4 encores was a bit weird though. Was about to leave after the second one and I would have missed 3 songs haha
Animal Collective released one song a few days ago that they apparently made for Red Dead Redemption that was never used. I can see why they didn't pick it up for RDR, but it's a good song.
seems like they're going for a more popish sound than Here and Nowhere Else but i don't mind it!

Anyone see the NME's top 50 albums of the year list? What absolute incompetence...
The 1975 with album of the year??? No wonder the rag is given away for free now

Kinda wanna make a thread in OT about it to see the meltdown haha.
Yeah, Pop Rock Cloud Nothings sounds absolutely fun.
Tim Darcy, frontman of Ought, is releasing a solo album in February, first track just dropped.

I enjoyed it, more jaunty than Ought, but I hope this doesn't mean we get less music from the band.

weren't their first two albums pop rock? Then the last two had a darker tone and now they are maybe mixing the two styles.
No, not at all.
If anything their later 2 albums were poppier. I always felt the band wanted to be a Noise band but accidentally became catchier without them noticing.
Nah futureman is right. The later two records do have hooks and plenty of the DNA of pop punk...but they also have instrumentals and nine minute freakouts and post-hardcore and proggy experimentation and the lyrics are way more nihilistic and about existential crises and mortality.
The first two records and the early singles like "didn't you" are all 2-4 minute lo-fi pop songs about the sun and girls and the radio
