Potty Mouth seem to have wrapped up recording their new album, looking forward to seeing how it turned out.
I'll check out Johnny Foreigner.
Just saw Yuck say they're premiering a single tomorrow too. guessing a new album in the fall. Wonder what Daniel Blumberg is up to, I wouldn't turn down another Hebronix record but I think dude's moving away from music entirely.

fuck yeah. i really like PM
It's official, next week i'm going to the small belgian town of Herk to see Slowdive (!!!!!!!!), Blood Red Shoes, Helmet, Eagulls and more. I'm super happy.
btw guys I may need your help, we'll have a long drive to get there and I'd like a good road trip playlist. Granted, french and belgian roads are not as glamourous as american highways but a good soundtrack will still be ace.
In other news, I'm really digging No Life For Me, Come Down and Hard to Find are such great songs.

american highways glamorous?? I'm not clear on what's glamorous about monotone fields far as the eye can see and the steady stench of cow shit, or eroding industrial wasteland with...somehow still the steady stench of cow shit; I can say that in either case I like to do long drives to post-rock. Explosions in the Sky, Do Make Say Think. makes all the ugliness somehow grand
haha I know I was just referring to that fantasy of the american road trip, but all roads are sort of the same anyway yeah.
In his defense, Belgian roads are about the worst thing a human can encounter. In the civilised world that is.
I can attest to that.

I remember that, I was standing near to her. She wasn't the only one emotional like that. At the end (8:07) you can see Simon Scott toss a drumstick into the audience which landed on my head. And the worst thing is that I don't even have it in my posession. I did get a setlist off stage though.
So, who was complaining about slow pace from bands? Wand's third album in 13 months is coming up in september.
Listen to Stolen Footsteps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0MleuDItII
These guys are so fast that I still haven't had a chance to see them live and they're already on their third release.

First single sounds great
In other news, Liz Harris is coming back with her thrash band that sounds like shoegaze. Last year EP was great, can't wait to hear a full album.

New instrumental mini-album from Mac DeMarco called Some Other Ones
http://makeoutvideotape.bandcamp.com/album/some-other-ones
He recorded it all last week apparently. Meant as chill BBQ music. I like it.

Ugh, this is really sad news if Justin Vernon doesn't do another Bon Iver album
http://pitchfork.com/news/60297-jus...-no-plans-for-another-bon-iver-album-or-tour/
Back in 2012, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon said the band was "winding it down" for an extended break. In a new interview with Grantland, Vernon said that the only planned Bon Iver activity in the near future is a closing set at Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival, the festival curated by Vernon and the National's Aaron Dessner that takes place July 17-18 in Vernon's hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. And that's it: no album or further shows are in the works.
Vernon told Grantland, "I definitely care about the Bon Iver thing a lot, but its kind of my thing and theres only so much time you can spend with yourself before you just become an asshole. So you gotta push it."
"As far as putting a record together, I dont really know whats happening," he said. "Our show is our main focus. We dont have anything booked after this. We dont have any plans. Were not being secretive we just dont have any plans. Its just about, Play the show and put all of our energy into one show for once in my life, lets just play one fucking show and care just about this one show for a goddamn change."
Vernon told Grantland that the band "might play some new stuff" but was noncommittal. He also described the creative process behind the band's new material. "Ive been taking it really slow," he said. "I dont mean to get all cerebral about my art, but Ive been trying to collect improvisations and collect moments...I just think maybe I ran my course with being able to come up with new moments on the guitar."
Elsewhere in the interview, he talked about wanting to write from a "real" perspective, unaffected by all the attention the band has gotten since its inception.
The band's last release was 2011's self-titled record.

Vision festival added bunch of new names and I really can't wait to be there this year as well. Holy Fuck, Gazelle Twins, HO99O9, Blanck Mass and Theo Varney all sound like an awesome addition. I am also excited to The Big Moon which is a new all female band which is getting a lot of excitement all around *coughthenextbigthingcough* and Claw Marks sounds like an OK band from all the Youtube videos they have. They are still adding more which is cool!
Last year was a blast, even though I have missed Veronica Falls and The History of Apple pies amongst others (because of lame friends I had) but I am gonna be sure to take advantage this year.
Linius, you coming?
I've had to ignore the new Destroyer for now. I don't think I can switch back and forth between Beach House and that and I'm just so into Depression Cherry at the moment.
It's a cheap fest, only trouble is getting there, but you should go for it.
But yeah, I plan to cry like that girl at the end of their set as well.
Ah well, I tried. Maybe next year, remember, the tickets are only £30 (£35 if you buy it a week in advance)
Same here.
But when it comes to Destroyer, I'm one of those fans people complain about who only like a band's most popular album lol. Always respected Bejar, but none of the Destroyer albums ever stuck with me until Kaputt. That's definitely one of my favourite albums ever.
edit: the new Mac DeMarco is great. Everything this guy puts out is gold.

What a set of leaks to wake up to.
Good thing I have tomorrow off, going to have to pace myself
Destroyer is difficult for me because there's almost no chance it equals Kaputt in my eyes, love that album to death.

Good for them, seem to have all the markings for a breakthrough debut.
New Chelsea Wolfe out there. This day needs to slow the fuck down.
Destroyer have made two of my favorite albums ever, so I'm interested to see how the new one sounds. I don't necessarily expect it to immediately hit. Determining whether to listen to Poison Season or Depression Cherry first. Gonna give each their own time.

Oh shit. That's my most anticipated record of the year. Hyped.
Another Leeds-based, band that coming through the rank, Autobahn, have released new track and announce that their debut album is out next month. I am loving them. Harkens back to the good old days of rhythmic based Post-punk music with some strong vocals and driving guitar plays.
