Holy shit! Thanks so much for this... I had no idea. What a great bill. Never got to see Brand New, sadly, and I fear this might be my last chance. Modest Mouse always has a good show, so there's that. Great stuff.

I second this. Album rules
This new Primal Scream song with Sky Ferreira is pretty good. A nice upbeat slab of electro indie pop.

Thanks, a few I've listened to already but I'll check the others out and report back.

It's kinda old, but I just discovered it. Quality guitar pop.
Agreed. Love both artists so I'm probably kinda biased, but I dig it.
Haven't stopped being a Scream fan myself, so it sounds good to me! Plus, I loved Sky's album as well and it does seem more like a Sky song than the Scream. Not that that's a bad thing of course. I also read Haim is on two tracks on the album as well. Can't wait to hear those.
Haim did backing vocals for them when I saw them at Glastonbury a few years back, so that's not too unexpected. Was definitely surprising when they walked out with them though.
the new Pinkshinyultrablast is fantastic. hones the elements of their sound that made the first LP stand out, this is like dream pop gone prog. sweet and catchy noise pop one second broken up by hard rock/power pop guitar leads the next. Wanna play it again and again.
A newish single from it: "The Cherry Pit"

I gotta check out these Primal Scream tracks. Big fan of them, and definitely of the folks they're collaborating with. Haim should keep hanging out with this crowd instead of T-Swift. 🌞

I missed Shopping's Why Choose last year, a really fun post-punk record.

Anyone have some good indie folk in the vein of Ben Howard and Jose Gonzalez?

Paolo Nutini's early stuff (even though I like his Jazzier stuff on the new album) but you've probably already listened to him.
jeeeeeze this new parquet courts song is excellent. a perfect 90 seconds. "Outside"
Second one is good too: "Dust". Full interview on WFUV is nice as well. their first Rough Trade LP Human Performance is probably coming real soon, there's a painting of the album cover up and the band's playing "secret" shows to build hype. I'm a Monastic Living defender, I love seeing a rock band take an EP to just make a clatter, but from these two tracks those who hated that release will love that these are actual songs.

The new Nice Try album is streaming, I'm really into it. Indie pop-punk in the vein of All Dogs, Upset, etc. It's also around 15 minutes long!

My heart always sinks when Parquet Courts news stories don't mention Content Nausea as their last full project, such a great album.
Ready for poppier Quarts as well though
Oh for sure, I love it so much more than Sunbathing Animal. Or, I did but I've come around to Sunbathing Animal more of late. they're getting closer and closer.
This new song though, might be one of my all-time favorites of theirs at this point. I've listened to it like 15 times in the last 36 hours.

Agreed. His songs are by far the worst
in other parkay-related news, the EP from Soda that savage's label just put out is some solid punk rock, their acoustic/electric combo works really well. especially like "Blonde on Blonde" and "Janie Juicehead" https://dulltools.bandcamp.com/album/without-a-head
Just got back from Yo La Tengo. Hot damn. They played an acoustic set first that was nice and chill, then played an electric set and made everyone's heads explode. Ira Kaplan is a beast. And also a cool guy. For the encore they played a new song and then they took requests(!), so they finished the show off with Autumn Sweater and You Can Have It All. Amazing.

His interview with Marc Maron a few months ago was great. They're supposed to put a out a new record this year. A more "rock" record that is.
New Andrew Bird. Don't know if I really like the new song but I'll definitely be checking out the album. He's coming here in a few months so I'll probably see him live too.

Anybody listening to Nothing But Thieves released in the US today?
Pretty damn good album through and through. Kinda Jeff Buckley meets Foals meets Radiohead.

First gig of the year next week, Foals with Everything Everything. Should be good fun
Sheer mag - Can't Stop Fighting
I like these dudes plenty but generally haven't been as enthusiastic a fan as a lot of people were asap with their EPsthis track is maybe their best though, hope they have an LP or at least another EP coming.
Anyone else listening to the Sunflower Bean album? Can't remember if anyone else here was big on their EP last year. the debut has a bunch of pretty good songs but I wouldn't call it a great album, still very worth a listen if you want some neopsych/alt rock. honestly, a fair amount of the time they remind me too much of other bands e.g. pretty much directly imitating Spacemen 3, and that mainly makes me want to listen to Spacemen 3 rather than more Sunflower Bean. But like, if you're gonna be a well-done shadow of a bunch of other bands, picks like Spacemen 3 are great
new record from Your Friend, Gumption, is pretty good too. Calming record of drone folk, vocals are nice and cool varied blend of instruments. liked the closer most: "Who Will I Be in the Morning?"

Beach Slang touring with Potty Mouth and Dyke Drama, that should be a good show.
Bought tickets to see Damon Albarn & The Syrian National Orchestra in june in a very nice theater in Amsterdam. Really no idea what to expect exactly, but they're the same guys who joined Gorillaz during the 2010 tour (White Flag!). In Albarn I trust.
And definitely getting tickets for the Springsteen "The River" show in The Hague on friday. The Boss never disappoints.

Did you also check out their previous album when they were still Bombay Show Pig?

Lovely band. No idea they had any international exposure. Or are you Dutch too?

I didn't hear the first record before this one. I've since checked it out. Really good band. The new one is dynamite. Upbeat. Fun.
Not Dutch. Just a music traveller.

Foals last night was amazing, the production value behind this tour is top tier. Go see them IndieGAF.
