The new album Mothership by Flying Horseman will be released on 17th of April!

For more than a year, Flying Horseman has been working on new material. The band has worked for the first time with producer Jasper Maekelberg (Faces on TV, Balthazar,...) and together they present a concise and pure album: eight adventurous, uncompromising songs with a deep heart and a broad outlook that alternately sound rousing and introspective, evil and tender, dark and playful.

More than ever, all band members take their place in the spotlight: the powerful, endlessly inventive rhythm section of Mattias Cré and Alfredo Bravo; the conjuring harmony vocals and hallucinogenic synths and guitar sounds of Loesje and Martha Maieu; the inspired vocals and the compelling guitar playing of frontman Bert Dockx.

Live, this unique band guarantees a breathtaking listening experience.

And Colour & the Shape has some nice moments too. Like My Hero.

But yeah, for the last 20 years they’ve been one of the most consistently basic ass bands in the world. Can’t say I hate them because who hates Dave Grohl legitimately? But they represent the laziest kind of barely there stadium alt, blah.

I'll be honest, I haven't actually heard it. My experience is Colour + Shape (which I liked on listening, but two years later realised I had no desire to go back to it) plus a couple of stuff otherwise. Maybe I need to give it a listen.

There was an interview where the person talking to Dave said "how do you react to people who call the Foo Fighters dadrock?" And he just said "duh, we are - I just do this shit for fun." So full credit to him.

Vyva Melinkolya - whose self-titled album I love - have an EP coming out on January 10th (announced on Facebook). This one has an actual band on it, probably.

From Uncut:

 

A new 3xLP + 3xCD box set, The Karen Dalton Archives, will be released in March 2020 on Megaphone.

It features three hours of the folk singer's recordings from the early 1960s, including the 1962 live album Cotton Eyed Joe and the 1963 home-recorded album Green Rocky Road for the first time on vinyl.

The package also includes a 56-page 12" book featuring the testimonies of friends and reproductions of Dalton's own archives of music, photos and words.

Hear Karen Dalton's version of Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child" here.

This was actually announced almost two years ago! Some descriptions say there are actually four CDs: Cotton Eyed Joe (double), Green Rocky Road, and a fourth of "unreleased home recordings" (that's where you find the Billie Holiday cover). PLUS a DVD "of a film interview of Greenwich Village Folklore Center founder Izzy Young". PLUS a "large T-shirt" (no, seriously, check the description on Amazon). The cover makes me think there's no DVD nor, um, apparel, and that the CDs, whether 3 or 4, cover all the sonic ground mentioned in this paragraph. [Sigh.]

We all know Raül Refree from his recent collaborations with Lee, but this other album he made with Portuguese Fado singer Lina will be released tomorrow! It's getting a 7.7 rating on Pitchfork. Here is the bandcamp link. So far only one track is streaming, but I really like the instrumentation on it. It's sounds a bit like Nils Frahm. Here is the video of the same song (and there are some more vids on that account)

A World Cultural Heritage genre has been reimagined by a producer with a vision: Raül Refree approached fado not with an acoustic arsenal of stringed instruments but with synths and electric pianos, providing an immersive soundscape for Lina's Extraordinary voice which channels the leading diva of the genre in a song speaking of a love so deep and true that one can feel it despite not knowing the language.

Motherfucker LOLOLOL

Anyway, there’s this new album by this Cape (Antonionian $ Doseone) and it’s pretty impressive.

Short little thing but hits the right notes for the electronic music fiend.

I listened to the new AJJ record yesterday. Seems pretty samey; it's a very acoustic album and it offers predictable lyricism r.e. Trump. But, I like AJJ, so I don't really have any complaints about it.

Andrew Jackson Jihad?

Yeah, can’t relate get with it.

[choc e-Claire]

Yeah, the band formerly known as Andrew Jackson Jihad - changed their name a couple years back because a) they didn't want to 'glorify' Jackson and b) they aren't Muslim and didn't think it appropriate.

They're one of those bands where, if you're in tune to their aesthetic, you'll adore them, but otherwise just regard them with indifference. Being the angst-filled whiny teen I am, it's perfect for me

In other news - new Eminem record as a surprise.
