Support NeoGAF

[King_Moc]

Is it worth a spin for someone who was decidedly meh on Holy Fire?

Caught Colleen Green at a super small live show on Wednesday. Don't get why some people (Stereogum) are hyping her up so much, but as DIY girl-fronted garage goes her new album is pretty solid.

It's a bit heavier and generally more "big" sounding. The elements of Foals music that irritated me before (basically everything in the song "My Number") have almost completely slipped away at this point.

It's worth a go. I think the NME site is streaming it for free at the moment.

Debating if I want to go see Ought next month, I'm kind of indifferent to them but Diet Cig and LVL Up are both opening and that seems like a pretty good line up.

I already bought their ticket for this Tuesday, but didn't know that they were supported by LVL Up. Maybe its region based but it would be cool if LVL Up was there. Diet Cig are cool too but I need an album by them to fully get excited about.

Ought are really fun live though. Very energetic!

 

[big ander]

see Ought live



new Low album is fantastic. similar to Drums and Guns, also reminds me of their debut in some ways. reminding the kids they can make an unfuckwithable dream pop album anytime.

I like this bedroom pop album by Brittle Brian: https://brittlebrian.bandcamp.com/album/verisune riyl alex g, emily yacina, frankie cosmos, spencer radcliffe, eskimeaux. that kinda stuff. "In Touch", "Devil" and "Hospittle" are good

 

[Fjordson]

Surprise new Toro y Moi album (or collection I guess). Seems like it's all his recent non-album loosies plus some unreleased stuff http://pitchfork.com/news/60981-toro-y-moi-releases-surprise-collection-samantha/

 

[CoolOff]

Destroyer dropped a new album? Shiiiii.

I loved Kaputt.

 

[Pacbois]

First day of Rock en Seine :

Great sets from Kate Tempest and Wand, Wolf Alice was fun, Kasabian surprisingly decent, FFS kinda shitty and The Offspring embarassing (that's not surprising tho).

 

[faridmon]

Apparently the debut album from Hooton Tennis Club is getting rave reviews. Can't wait to get it in few days.

I didn't realise it was out until earlier, gave it a listen earlier and it sounded good but I was in the middle of something. Gonna give it a go in a bit.

Yeah it came out last week but the reviews were all posted days before and all of them are pointing the album out to be a fun and upbeat slacker music with some catchy groove and just light hearted lyrics. Sounds perfect!

Their tour plans

Was going to get tickets to Bedford, it being 20 miles away and £6, but I've just noticed they're playing the On Blackheath festival on the day i'm there. Will go to the Bedford gig if they turn out to be great live.

 

[Red Blaster]

gang of four and public image ltd are coming to my burg

Happyness is opening for them in Paris and it's in a cool venue so I'll probably go !

I've seen PiL a couple of times at festivals and thought they were pretty good.

 

[Infernostew]

Oh man! Been listening to Paws - Colefloat! a lot recently. Just an amazing album.

The Amsterdam gig is free with my pass. Will check it out.

 

[Alienfan]

I'm enjoying that new Miley Cyrus album a lot more than I have the newer flaming lips albums. Some legit good tracks like Slab of Butter, Karen don't be sad, space boots and cyrus skies. Listen to it with an open mind, and you might surprise yourself!!

[faridmon]

Never imagined I'd see Miley Cyrus pop up in an indie/alternative thread

lol

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, there are some nice tracks on the Miley album tbh.

 

[Pacbois]

So apparently there's a new Grandaddy album on the way ? This better be for real.

 

[Servbot24]

Re Miley : It's good. Great sound, but missing any essential tracks to give it staying power.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

There are like 5 or 6 rock solid tracks on Miley's album. And a fucking Ariel Pink feature.

Well played

 

[Linius]

I like that song with Ariel Pink, only one I've checked out so far.

 

[Pacbois]

There's possibly a new Grandaddy album and you guys keep talking about Miley Cyrus.

COME ON GUYS.

Spoiler

Haven't checked the Miley album yet but I guess I should

I loved them at ReS a couple of years back and they make great music. But not sure if I should get hyped yet, no idea how the music will be after so many years. But yes, they have my interest of course!

This month is insanely busy with albums coming out, some of the few I'm looking forward to include:

Fidlar - Too
The Libertines - Anthems for Doomed Youth
Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon
New Order - Music Complete
Swim Deep - Mothers

Also have listened to Foals new album on repeat for the last few days, I'd put their albums in order by Total Life Forever > What Went Down > Antidotes = Holy Fire. My favourite tracks on the album are Albatross, London Thunder and Mountain at my Gates.

I was also on bandsintown the other night and there's like 5 or 6 bands I wanna see in 5 weeks in November/December like Chastity Belt, Fidlar, Wolf Alice, Albert Hammond Jr's solo stuff, Best Coast and Bloc Party. It's gonna be one hell of an expensive month!

Also, Low, Battles, Metric, Ought, Girl Band, Chvrches, US Girls, Wand, Silverson Pickups, Kurt Vile and Mercury Rev. This has been the best month for music in a long time.

I'm seeing Chastity Belt and Best Coast also. May go and see Albert Hammond Jr too, I do like his solo stuff, but I've got a stupid number of gigs booked for the rest of the year.

Completely forgot about Girl Band and Ought, I'll definitely check the rest of the albums you listed out too.

Swans are currently working on what will be the final album from the current iteration of the band. So not the end of Swans, but the end of the lineup that brought us their last three albums, and therefore probably the end of that particular sound.

Right now they're doing a fundraiser, Kickstarter-type thing (not Kickstarter though) with a live 3xLP / 2xCD with handmade packaging to support the recording of their next album, which is coming out next year. Based on the tier you choose, the purchase also includes the new album when it comes out, and a 2014/2015 tour document DVD.

They'll also be touring extensively after the album is completed - again, for the last time for a while.

The video for Fidlar's "40oz On Repeat" isn't new (although it is to me) but it's a pretty fun send-up of all those '90s videos. Don't really like the song itself much, but the visual content is fun!

Instantly bought the CD. I saw them for the 4th time a few weeks ago, and it was the best gig i've been attending to this year.

I suspect my new non-shitty earplugs made me enjoy the show much more.

 

[Alpende]

The new El Vy track is solid, way different than what Matt normally does.

 

[Fjordson]

It's not quite rock, but the new Neon Indian album is out in the wild. Some really nice grooves on here.

Hot damn, Can't wait for this!

 

[Servbot24]

Julia Holter out there and predictably stunning

 

[HiResDes]

Julia Holter out there and predictably stunning

Came to post this.

 

[bumbillbee]

Yeah this Julia Holter is amazing.

I saw her when she toured after Loud City Song and it was honestly one of the best live shows I've ever been to, she's just incredible.

Now the only tour dates near me are her opening for fucking Beirut at huge venues so uh no thanks.

 

[Diablos]

So uh yeah, Pretty Pimpin' by Kurt Vile is pretty much the best song ever for the rest of the year. This guy knows how to write a song.

 

[HiResDes]

Naw.

 

[Linius]

It's a nice tune.

 

[Fjordson]

I like it a lot. Can't wait for the new album.

 

[prefaces]

kitchen's floor!

angie's new lp is out too

 

[Steamlord]

Have You In My Wilderness is so good.

 

[Servbot24]

Have You In My Wilderness is so good.

I think it will be between this and Jaga Jazzist for my AOTY

 

[faridmon]

I think it will be between this and Jaga Jazzist for my AOTY

OMG someone else listens to Jaga Jazzist. Yeah their new album is amazing, never thought I would say that after underwhelming few albums they have done.

 

[overcast]

How do you guys feel about the new Alex G and new Kurt Vile? Both are out there.

Just haven't got around to them. Really liked that single from Kurt.

 

[chris121580]

I'm really digging this Dan Auerbach side project, The Arcs. It's really damn good and better than the last couple of Black Keys albums

 

[Fjordson]

New Chromatics track "Shadow"! It's for that adult swim singles series, but will also be on Dear Tommy.

How do you guys feel about the new Alex G and new Kurt Vile? Both are out there.

Just haven't got around to them. Really liked that single from Kurt.

I need to listen to the new Kurt. Also really enjoyed the single.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

LTTP Angel Olsen.

Goddamn at her NPR Tiny Desk performance. Powerful stuff. ;_;


BTW, I was introduced to her by Rodrigo Aramante (of Little Joy) doing a cover of Unfucktheworld. Deserves a damn mention because he is amazing too and I owe him that.

 

[Steamlord]

Burn Your Fire for No Witness is just breathtaking all the way through. It was my AOTY last year and it's still as fresh as it was the first time I listened to it. Fresher actually, because it was a grower for me.
