This is an incredible release. Space Cadet in particular is really beautiful
While I'm here does anyone know a way I can browse this site on mobile at the moment without having to clear my cache every time I visit? I appreciate it's probably a known problem and is being worked on, but is there a workaround in the meantime?
This band fucking rules
Been going through the whole discography in preparation for this, they're just the most wildly consistent band
Tawny EP is gone now... WHAT'S GOING ON IS THERE SECRET NEW DRUG CHURCH COMING OR WHAT?!
Awww yes! I actually felt a little let down by Forever after the quality of the singles, it sagged a lot in the middle for me (although I understand why it was like that). This track is beautiful though, if the whole record is this good it's an AOTY contender
My irrational hatred of all Simpsons episodes beyond season 10 is outweighed only by my very rational hatred of Morrissey, so this is very funny
This is the first I've heard of this guy, and it absolutely rules!
Summertime 06 is a classic - in my opinion THE best hip hop album of the 2010s.
Aww yeah. This fucking rules
Expecting good things from the Andy Stott album. The singles kinda hint at something a bit more woozy and meditative, which I'm all for, but I hope there's a couple of stompers on there too!
These tracks have all been great and super interesting in their own way, very intrigued to see how he hangs this all together. I think it's gunna be beautiful!
It's all about Spirit of the Beehive this week!
A River Ain't Too Much to Love is incredible and has Let Me See the Colts, which is my favourite song of his. Red Apple Falls is also great. I've never delved into anything before that but I'll work back to his early 90s stuff one day
I was also going to post about this! Incredible album
This is weird. I'm guessing you'll just have to prove you've had the first vaccine and not two, because most people at Reading are 18-21 and none of them people will have been fully vaccinated by end of August? And in that case, like, is there really much point?
It's really pretty! Luxury Problems and Faith in Strangers are both hard hitting monsters and I don't think Too Many Voices got the credit it deserved, at least compared to those two. It's a really good album. Very excited to be getting this and Leon Vynehall within a couple of weeks of each other
Don't think I saw any coverage of it here but I've been all over the Genesis Owusu album from a few weeks back. Stylisticly it's absolutely all over the place but it works so well as one big funk/rap/r&b/rock odyssey. Definitely one of my favourites of the year so far
That's 3 for 3, this album is going to be a monster
In the same way that a broken clock is right twice a day
Speaks to how distorted class identities are here that a genuine aristocrat can dress up as a Victorian farmer and make songs about ploughing the land and shit
I've had this on all day and it really is incredible
Great interview! It's made me even more excited for this
I've been to Reading a few times and frankly Covid is the least of your worries there
Who should play Robbie? Daniel Day Lewis is the only man capable in my opinion
Really hyped for Blanck Mass, Animated Violence Mild has been a go-to workout album since it came out
Cannot describe how much I love this band and particularly the post-haitus albums. And it comes out just as we're allowed to go out and drink beers in the sun again, which really is the only way to digest a Dinosaur Jr album
The new Vynehall tracks are so good, instantly shot to the top of my anticipated albums list
I was a bit taken aback by Nothing is Still after loving his early housier stuff, but it's gradually become one of my favourite albums of the last few years. These tracks sound like he's delving further into that sound but also getting his feet back on the dancefloor a little bit, I'm all here for it.
