New Pixies?

Meh. I'm not even sure I qualify as a Pixies fan anymore. I have no idea what they're up to, or who they even are anymore.

great band!
Gunn was joined in the studio by a full band - Nathan Bowles (drums, banjo, organ), Hans Chew (wurlitzer), James Elkington (guitar, lap steel, dobro), Mary Lattimore (harp), Jason Meagher (bass, guitar, flute), Paul Sukeena (guitar), Justin Tripp (bass, keyboards), and John Truscinski (drums)

what's the deal with this one?

There's a new Parquet Courts album out. I haven't listened to it in full yet, but I've done a fair amount of skipping around and I'm enjoying what I'm hearing. Sounds like it might be their Brighten the Corners. Maybe.

I dig Parquet Courts/Parkay Quarts. I always think I don't, but then I listen to one of their albums (especially Light Up Gold), and I just can't turn it off. Sunbathing Animal didn't quite captivate me as much, but it was still very good, and I loved Content Nausea. I'm going to buy this new one and give it a whirl.

Oooh! Ooooooh! Hope Six Demolition Project is out in SIX days ;)





(heart attack)

New PJ out now and awesome.

New Radiohead apparently coming out in June. It's been six goddamn years since their last album. I wonder how this is going to go over. I'm actually not super optimistic.

Why not?

Preach it.

What i like about deftones gore is its new. Its not just a nostalgia album from a band i have been listening to for twenty years. It what i liked about No Cities To Love last year

I'm looking forward to hearing this!

I'm not sure really. I liked Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, and I like what Jonny Greenwood's been doing. I liked their last album, and felt that it corrected for a few of the mistakes of In Rainbows by channeling krautrock (the In The Basement version is better than the actually King of the Limbs album, in my opinion) ... I liked their "SPECTRE" song, and think that if MGM had used it, the movie would have been significantly better.

But I feel like it's been so long that it would be really tough for them to make another really brilliant record I guess. I don't have any real solid reason for feeling this way, but I kinda do. They took a six year break after releasing albums pretty regularly for almost 20 years. It just makes me wonder if their time has passed. I could be wrong, and hope I am. But in the past six years a lot of their albums have started to sound dated. I think the only ones that really still hold up are Kid A and Hail to the Thief, and parts of OKC. They're going to have to pull a Portishead circa 2008 to make this work, which means a full overhaul of their sound. And from what I've read, some very old songs are rumored to be on the new album.

I wish 'em the best.

Pseu Braun celebrates 4/20 with NJ’s experimental hip-hop heroes, Dälek, on DIFM (7-8pm). Back in action after a 5+ year hiatus, the group is releasing a new album called “Asphalt for Eden” later in the week.

looking forward to hear some new dälek

Hey this sounds awesome! It's been a while.

I wouldn't be so harsh. I still consider them to be a very talented and original band that is not afraid to explore new territories (at least, "new" regarding to the rock/indie territory they've been mostly associated with). I am now years ago from being a fan of the band (I was a real diehard some 15-20 years ago ... man, the time flies fast) but I know the're capable of coming up with something surprising.
There've been better albums (Kid A, OKC, for me also In Rainbows and Hail to the Thief) and also worse ones (Amnesiac and especially the terrible TKOL), and I don't see a reason why I should be skeptical about this. I'm actually pretty curious.

now I want to hear the new DJ Shadow

Woo! DJ KOZE presents Pampa Vol. 1

Fucking finally, something from Koze in 2016. I'd be really stoked if he did an actual album, but this will serve.

Bought it the minute I realized it was out. Already in my top 5 of the year. A sweet compilation by techno's greatest psychedelic mastermind, featuring a shit ton of artists

^^ I highly recommend this to any fans of bright, effervescent electronic music. Never mind the Jamie XX and DNTL appearances. The record does a really nice job of representing the Koze/PAMPA sound and vibe.

Released a week ago and nobody said shit. Fuck AMG, fuck Metacritic and fuck all of us.

Well, what is your first impression of the first new Radiohead song Burn the Witch? I think its a solid song. I don't know if the album is coming out tomorrow, this weekend, or even this month. I think the fact we know so little does make me even more eager to hear it.

It's a good song, but I'm hoping for more "SPECTRE," and less "Burn the Witch" on the new album. It's musically interesting, but it's a bit lazy lyrically in my opinion.

Then again, no Radiohead pre-release single has really pumped me up since "2+2=5."

Watch: Steve Gunn –"Ancient Jules" Video
"[...] the clip [...] finds Gunn hitting the road on his motorcycle and hanging out with underground folk legend Michael Chapman."
:eek:

Looks like we might be getting a new Autechre album this year, as guest noted in the "autechre - exai" thread. This would he absolutely epic, of course.

As if that wasn't an exciting enough little nugget of speculation, there's also a new single from Plaid that just dropped yesterday, titled "the Bee." It's nowhere near as good as Autechre's "Feed 1" — more of a traditional, light, "for the fuck of it" kind of song. But still... a new Plaid AND a new Autechre would really get the old blood pumping.

Plaid is a great, great act. And they've lost none of their spark over the years. Reaching Prints was one of the best albums of 2014.

Looking forward to hearing more from both of these cherished acts in the months to come.

still need to listen to that new Autechre song.
was a bit let down by Mark Pritchard's album, but if Warp's got a new Autechre record forthcoming I'm all for it.

really looking forward to Flowdan's album this summer, this should be massive. Oh and the new Jessy Lanza album is finally out and it's a beauty

Tense Nature — Brian Case (June 27)
Hit Reset — The Julie Ruin (July 8)

lovin' this

https://kleinkief.bandcamp.com/album/fukushima

and can't wait for this

http://www.rarelyunable.com/morkobot...ernatural-cat/

I'm liking the Jessy Lanza album quite a bit.

The new Kaytranada is great too by the way.

the jessy lanza record is fucking excellent, that first single was a masterpiece and while the record doesn't live up to that it's still awesome to see her blossoming into an actual veritable popstar. with this and the babyfather record (undoubtedly the best thing to come out this year) hyperdub are really on top at the moment.

also the caroline k (nocturnal emissions) reissue on BEB is fantastic

also also looking forward to new stuff from raime, james ferraro, fennesz/o'rourke, second woman, klara lewis, pita (!!!), haino/o'rourke/ambarchi, helm/decimus tape on opal....

also also also new puce mary full-length on posh isolation is proper gnarl

Yeah I'm really looking forward to the Febnesz/O'Rourke release. Should be excellent.

everytime I come to this thread I get sick to my stomach. so much shitty new boring music it's unbelievable.

" hey, check this band out that sound like this".

"no".

you know, just saying, just saying I find, you and you this and that, a needle in a hay stack.

then, I remember why the hip hop thread is so popular...because everything else is shit.

I mean, you can tell me if I am crazy or not but nothing sounds outrageous and new anymore unless it's hip hop and even that's talking it's toll. it's all boring for 'commercials' music. bunch of junk!! crap boring junk. with boring slick art album covers that look good on pitchfork promotion sections.

and old users here worry about what new users think us. we're a bunch of boring cunts. that's what they think.

why? IDM is all behind you. it happen. it's done. like rock n roll. hip hop and jazz. instead of enjoying yrself you can better spend yr time as culture music archaeologist instead. doing research on how humans enjoyed information via vibration signals to the eardrum.

maybe 2012 really was the start of a paradigm shift after all.

I'm looking forward to the new Beth Orton. Produced by the guy from the Fuck Buttons so that should be interesting.
Still haven't heard Anohni yet so looking forward to that
