Yeah, the last two are more expansive in scope with featuring long tracks, more emphasis on instrumental takes and generally have a lot more depth in terms of lyrics. But I do find, while the first two are more simplistic, the Lo-fi of it made it look like they were going noisier later in their career considering the fact that the band started as a solo project.

In other news, Ought front man (Tim Darcy) has a solo album out in February

Anyone going to Rock Wertcher next year?

Line up is looking very strong so far, and Alt-J to be announced today :D

Going for the first time next year and it's looking good so far.

Yeah, I enjoyed Living Hour. Need to relisten to it though to see how it ranks for the year overall. I've listened to so much good music this year I could honestly do a top 200 list but fuck that.


By the way, this has to be the twee-est album of the year, right? Does anything else even come close?

Has anyone listened to the new Lambchop-album? It took me a while to get into it with the vocoder and whatnot, but I'm really enjoying it. Seeing them live next year.

I don't mean to sound pretentious, but it kind of surprises me that a band as good as Daughter are as popular as they are. A popular band that deserves its popularity? Unheard of!

I believe they did confirmed that it was done and dusted, just waiting for the label they are in (or whoever is responsible for such as that) to announce a release date.

Seeing TRAAMS and Girl Band tonight. Very hyped. But also very tired, and driving to London and back for it.

Speaking of the Jesus and Mary Chain, their new single is being played on the radio for the first time tonight. Their tour should be on sale shortly. I did see them last time round, but they're great so am definitely going again.

Not enjoying the new albums by Radio Dept. and Teenage Fanclub at all.

Not my style I guess and that is why I really don't like the 90s music.

Shame because I really loved the newest Spoon album and thought they would scratch the same itch.

has there been an official AOTY thread created yet?

I think there was an informal "List your 5 favs" or something. Maybe I missed an official one.

I can't believe I just found this Jay Som record now, it's been out for a year, if you didn't personally recommend this after knowing my tastes I despise you...So many wasted months I could have been on my 30th listen by now

Its actually out for around a year but was recently picked up by Polyvinyl and got a physical release.

Its a bit too Lo-Fi for my taste but I am excited for her next release since she did say that it will have a better production this time around.

So apparently Arctic Monkeys are back in Sheffield recording a new album. 2017 is gonna be insane.

It's probably reading too much into it but a back to their roots record in the vain of 'Whatever People Say I am... ' would be awesome now Alex is a much better song writer.

2016 was a great year for me (62 gigs in total and 3 festivals) Hope 2017 is as good!

Booked flights to Frankfurt literally on Monday to see him :/

I have tickets for Forbidden Fruit in June to see him so it's not all bad but this is the second artist in 3 months I had tickets to that cancelled :) :) :)

New Spoon album titled Hot Thoughts confirmed now by the band in a radio interview. One of them also said march 17th for release but the rest of the band quickly denied that. But yeah, new music from Spoon around the corner guys
