Need new Leonard Cohen!

I would like to recommend you to listen to DANS DANS. It's a Belgian threesome that plays instrumental jazz post-rock kind of. Their new album is called SAND and was released last Friday. I can stream it here (in Netherlands): http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/a...Dans-Dans.html
But that probably will not work for you. Perhaps this may help you out: http://news.lnk.to/sand

Most of their previous releases are on Soundcloud:

Taking to me here bud?

I really love Duchess Says and their new album is wicked. https://open.spotify.com/album/2ykI9BwAQQutx0mwduGSM8

found the new oval yesterday
still looking forward to two new sarah divachis, sean mccann (so pumped), michael gordon timber remixes. supposedly an arca too??
too much good music this year. there are a lot of decent albums i haven't given a second listen.

There's a new Arca coming?

someone mentioned it on the animal collective forum. i'm thinking maybe they were referring to the mixtape?

oh yeah SALEM is coming out with a new album soon too!

I really need a new DJ Koze album in my life. Soon. His DJ Kocks was great, as was the Pampa sampler, but it's time for a proper follow-up to Amygdala.

Mono is a shit band and always has been.

Wow. Strong words. I happen to disagree pretty strongly myself, but I'm not going to be a dick about it.

Not sure how a band like Mono could inspire such loathing -- it's not like they're in you're face all the time, wearing penis socks or being Coldplay. Hell, you mention them to a lot of folks and to this day they think you're talking about these taints.

But sure, ok, you really don't like Mono. Noted. Best of luck with all that.

preach


- there's new dean blunt x gaika coming in, and lolina's got a new record coming out with scratcha (sort of related, there's a triumph allah full length coming with production from lord tusk)
- jesse osborne-lanthier on halcyon veil, and the record with grischa lichtenberger
- renick bell on uiq
- roy montgomery 4lp on grapefruit

the new Machinedrum isn't terrible.. it's so unabashedly 'pop', i read a lot of negative comments. it was a pleasant surprise

don't be so serious about it, dude.
they're just too boring to my ears, is all. I've even gathered enough courage to see their concert (twice, even), but both times it ended up being an endless tiring charade and with me getting shit faced at the bar. in case you're interested in this thrilling story.

Mono's not shit. Not great. Not shit. They're pretty good live.

They're better than Dinosaur Jr and The Dead C.

Not as good as Thinking Fellers Union Local or Sly & the Family Stone.

Some facts about Mono right there.

I love mono and who cares what other people think? That's my take on every band I love. È pericoloso sporgersi.
