Me neither. I always thought they were some kind of metal band or something based on their name. I can't stop listening to them.

Pretty consistent folk rock from Ireland, with a few samples and synths thrown in this time for good measure. Sample: Trick of the Light



Eclectic folk/rock/alt from a queer Native American woman. Sample: Soft Stud

MBD rules and they're great live too. I once had an email exchange with the lead singer about Day For Night when I paid them far too much money to cover Locked for a previous album's Kickstarter.

Because were shuttin' down, I'll be the pompous asshole Lizard King always wanted me to be.

Listen to Tampa. One more for ol' Sean Bon.

john butler trio new cd. amazing

The new Arkells is awesome.

Also awesome: Prince, Piano & a Microphone. Not an ass-kicker per se; more like a gentle tap of the bum. But it's gorgeous to listen to.

The pure hatred in that review could power our entire electrical grid.

the great thing about music and art is that we are allowed our own opinion, so I respectfully disagree with the Pitchfork review. I did like some of the previous Greta Van Fleet more then the current album, but I do dig the new album. To each their own. Cant wait to see them at Echo Beach in May.

Probably my last update here for the year as not much else is left on my anticipated list.



Excellent but too brief EP from three of my favourite folk rock ladies (Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker). I can't find an easily linked sample but it's up on Spotify or whatever.



An interesting album that's mostly low-key acoustic songs with an occasional rocker or synth-based track thrown in. Sample: Where Is My Light



Folk pop from a couple of Australians or maybe New Zealanders, I forget. Sample: What's the Deal with David?



Another album of weirdo rock/electronic from my favourite gay Michigander living in Iceland. Sample: Love Is Magic



Dark and cynical lyrics from a seasoned Scottish miserablist with some fairly upbeat folksy music. Sample: Only on vinyl - here are a couple demos



Long-awaited new album from a great indie folk act. Sample: New Birth in New England



Also long-awaited new album from a great electro-pop artist. Sample: Missing U



(Miya Folick - Premonition)

Pretty diverse album ranging from electronic to folksy to angry rock. Sample: Stop Talking



(Django Django - Winter's Beach)

Fun British electronic rock. Sample: Swimming At Night

I'm still in the ring..... where are you, back in the nosebleeds. Can you see anything from there? hock:

Are any Hipbasers Wolf Parade fans?

Spencer Krug's final Moonface album just came out, and holy fucking shit.

I would not recommend this as a Spencer Krug / Wolf Parade....(/Sunset Rubdown /Frog Eyes /Moonface) starting point, but going in blind to his sound is something all Spencer Krug fans have had to do at some point

Quote:Seven years in the making, placed repeatedly on hold while other releases came and went, This One’s for the Dancer & This One’s for the Dancer’s Bouquet is the final album Spencer Krug will release as Moonface.

Like the title itself, the album is made up of two distinct yet connected ideas. The music is culled from two separate projects, each with different collaborators, recorded in different studios, in different towns, in different years. The songs are sung from two completely different standpoints. But rather than split the songs into separate releases, or group them respectively onto the two discs of vinyl they inhabit, Krug has blended them together into one sequence; a long weave of enjoyable variation.

Half the songs are sung from the perspective of the Minotaur. A whimsical, empathetic look at a monster’s demise from the monster’s POV, in them we hear the Minotaur examining the horrible nature of a lifetime trapped unjustly within a labyrinth, while simultaneously forgiving those responsible for putting him there. Here Krug collaborates with fellow percussionist Michael Bigelow, and together on marimbas, vibraphone, steel drum, keys, and drums pads... more
