Really digging the new deep sea diver record.
Holy shit, this is fantastic
EDIT: And I just realized there's a new Half Japanese album out and it's great. Jad Fair's still got it.

Saw Bo Ningen opening for Savages last night and holy shit, they stole the show.
They came back at the end of the gig to play fuckers with savages, and it was awesome.
Go see them if they happen to tour near you.

So what is this album?
I would think clicking the link would tell you everything you need to know.
It's been described a few times on what it is and what it sounds like by a few people in here.
Yeah, they are so good that I had seen them 4 times live and each time,they just blow my mind.
They are one of the best live bands I have ever seen.
Ah duh! Didn't realise clicking the link would do it. Cheers.
I've seen them a couple of times, and saw them supporting Savages in Cambridge a few days back. They really are fantastic live. I like that no one appears to have told them they're the support band. It was full volume with a massive rock and roll finish. Loved it.

And why would I want them?
Also really liking the Tracy Bryant solo. Peter Murphy meets LA sound.
This is super tight!

Another gig tomorrow night, seeing Wolf Alice for the second time!
Yeah it's fantastic. Been getting lots of play. Just great all the way through.
Thanks! All three of their 7 inches are fantastic.
Do they have anything else out there or is it just these 12 tracks?

I liked their first album a lot, so I'm thinking of getting the new one. But the previews they posted on Youtube don't sound as good as the first album. I guess you can't tell that much from 50 seconds of a song though.

What makes you say that? I like their sound.
It's run of the mill pop rock with a bunch of dudes that look like they came from the factory.
The new record is one of the most unoriginal records thats come off the assembly line in some time. It seems like the band solely exists to grace the cover of teen beat magazine.
But that's just my opinion.

I'd love to go to this, any ParisGAF going?

I think it's super duper sold out and with my upcoming trip to Canada I'm brokezo.
However I'll definitly go to the Philarmonie's VU exhibit
Where in Canada are you?
I'll be in Montreal for a week and then Toronto for an other week.
Sweet. Both have incredible scenes. I'm in Toronto myself.
Sadly I'm going during kind of a good show drought in both cities
(Maybe due to SXSW cannibalising shows in NA during that time ?) I dropped by the Toronto GAF thread to maybe get a small meet-up while I'll be there.queequegs__coffin

How did this get past my radar?
Jamming on it now. Very chill. Has Tricky on it too.
EDIT: Methinks the first track is the best

So I've started listening to Eddi Front about a year ago, after coming across a slightly slowed-version of her song "Gigantic" on Bonodo's Late Night Tales album about 3 years ago.
Anyway, her new album "Marina" came out this week, and I think my favorite song from it so far would be "Prayer". I recommend this to anyone who likes Mazzy Star.

Anybody hear the new Coral album, The Distance Inbetween?
I've just started listening to it on Spotify and it's pretty solid. I feel Coral dropped off the radar after their debut but they've stayed amazingly consistent through all their albums.
The single "Miss Fortune" is great. The intro kinda reminds me of The Wake.
EDIT: Don't see any discussion about the new Suede album, Night Thoughts here. It's a much better showing than Bloodsports.

Just noticed the new Big Ups record is up on Tidal, hopefully it's as good as their previous one.
And the Best Kept Secret festival I'm going to added Air and Minor Victories (and more) to their line-up. Good stuff, really interested in that Minor Victories project. Slowdive, Mogwai and Editors members in one band are ingredients for success.

Given how good a live sound all three of those bands have, it has the potential to be very good indeed.
There's one song out there at the moment, which I'm digging quite alright.

Yeah, it's a good song, this.
Oh yeah, they're shit now, definitely. They went downhill straight after the debut. And even that was only OK.
Yeah they were never amazing by any stretch.
On a side note the debut from adult books is doing it for me.

Oh that's certainly true. They were great for the first two records but lost the plot afterwards sadly.
this latest Posse video and song are so good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n8pPQXO53c
Hope this single is a precursor to a new album this year, Soft Opening was a nice record

Yep, that was a great album. Liking this song as well.
The new Pinkshinyultrablast album is pretty good on first listen. Have to listen to it more to see whether I prefer it to the debut or not.
Also, I don't know if anyone here listen to Japanese music, or take Jeff Gerstmenn's recommendation on music, but Charsima.com's new record is pretty shit.They really need stop releasing something every 10 months or so.
Really hate the vocals with this band.
I have some irrational dislike for that kind of vocal manipulation.

Generally speaking I do too. But for whatever reason I find it completely acceptable when Polica do it, but when others do I despise it.
Strange but true.
