Songdog - a wretched sinner's song
http://www.myspace.com/songdog1
but I suppose it wasn't a question...
I will listen later !
There are touring France soon
A gig in Paris
same French label as Motehrtrucker
Might go
don't know where the peniche alterna is as it's a place that play essentially hardcore bands as far as I know...
Io are not hardcore
Someone said
"What came next, however, was so spectacular and powerful it could have soundtracked the moon’s conversion from a glowing, white golf ball into a fearsome, reddish planet. io’s brand of post-rock manages to meld Explosions in the Sky’s melodic, delicate guitars with Isis’ metal sensibility resulting in an explosive, spine-tingling set which blew the crowd away".
but will it shift units?
Earth
Bees made honey in the lions skull
lovely title, that.
Seconded
Fantastic album. Their best since Earth 2?
Charlottefield - What Are Friends For
Jaw-droppingly brilliant
/\ this
and also...
kong - snake magnet
Seconds for...
Earth. Brilliant. and dead good at the Underworld the other night.
Also, The Magnetic Fields' "Distortion".
is the kong album out?
when, where, why wasnt i informed?
or are you one of those sneaky promo types?
100% yes
awesome album, slowly but surely overtaking how long are you staying as my fave
Autodrone - Strike A Match
the only album i've heard released this year
is the times new viking one. so it's that ....
Evangelicals - The Evening Descends
Uhm, I listened to Mr Traynor's link. Kinda IsisPelican-ish and really how can you tell those bands apart? I dunno, not my cuppa really.
I still gotta get TNV and Magnetic Field's cos I've really liked the tracks I've heard.
Shut up grandad
Earth and Atlas Sound
It'd be unfair to choose between them.
It's gonna some kind of ironic world John
if the two of us end up in the same old folks home gumming our peas together. haha!!
Black Mountain
Has really grown on me unexpectedly. Also agree with the above that Earth album is ace
^^
very good album !
this is the only 2008 LP i've heard
and it certainly aint great.
It's ok, good even. But hella overrated
Sascha Funke- Mango
everyone ought to check this out..
has a vibe similar (in parts) to The Field album, otherwise just really excellent.
also, Autistici - Volume Objects..
anyone who liked Set Fire To Flames will love it
First great LP?
Los Campesinos - Now Hold On, Youngster...
That's all there is to it. The album has me floored. I'd never listened before listening to the album, and I haven't really been able to stop listening. At all.
Hot Chip- Made in the Dark
there are at least ten potential number one hits on this record. i counted.
that album
is awesome
another
vote for atlas sound here...addictive album
MGMT.
Oracular Spectacular.
^^^^
BSP?
Xiu Xiu?
ASMZ?
Why?
Alopecia
yeah
great
I like it more than Elephant Eyelash
the mountain goats
heretic pride.
it's miles better than their last one. maybe not quite as good as the sunset tree but still pretty brilliant indeed.
45.33 LCDSS
I love the intro synth madness.
Buuuut
that's not new?
I'd say
The Magnetic Fields.
And with any luck my second will be Elbow next month.
My vote goes to....
Drive By Truckers - Brighter Than Creations Dark
Yep... a real return to form
for Stephen after all his recent messing around. Such a great sound.
beach house
or times new viking
Atlas Sound
..brill
First great EP of 2008
for me is In loving memory of Let's Wrestle....
Midnight Boom.
^
Retracting this statement.
I haven't been privileged enough to hear one yet.
My two penneth:
Either The Mae Shi or Magnetic Fields.
times new viking!
frank turner
love ire and song
Elbow
The Seldom Seen Kid
^this
the best album of the year for me so far
can only see it getting better and better too
r.e.m's accelerate was a pleasant suprise aswell although not sure it'll make my end of year list
Second that
The Following:-
Lightspeed Champion
Los Campesinos!
and Laura Marling.
I bought them all on the same day, so they all count.
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Uh huh
is this out?
can't wait to hear it either way
It's out in Australia...
and I got the import for my brother for his birthday (after burning myself a copy of course!)
nothing approaching 10/10 so far
but the Los Campesinos, Why?, REM and Mountain Goats albums have all been really good.
Sun Kill Moon - April
followed by Charlottefield - what are friends for, Boris - smile and the new Half Man Half Biscuit when it eventually comes out and get named.
Born Ruffians
The Mars Volta
8)
Bon Iver
For sure.
The Mae Shi or Why?
Most probably.
Honorary mentions to Earth and Black Mountain.
I'm a big fan of
Beach House - Devotion
but someone has to say this one:
Foals - Antidotes
nah, it's a bit of a letdown
it is good. But it in no way lives up to the hype. And it sounds increasingly like a poor mans Q And Not U.
But a poor mans Q And Not U is still damn good.
I dunnnno
Sun Kil Moon - April
Mystery Jets - 21
Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell
Somebody Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin - Pershing
Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood
asmz-13 blues
American Music Club - The Golden Age
The Golden Age just edging ahead of Vampire Weekend at the mo.
Sun Kil Moon
April
and the new REM seems to be fairly great too. happy days.
correction
on 4th listen the new rem is astonishingly great.
agreed.
took a few listens to get this, but seriously, it is fan-freaking-tastic.
I do believe the correct answer was The Mars Volta - The Bedlam in Goliath
Man Man
Rabbit Habits
<3
I believe so too.
(and The Seldom Seen Kid).
Unfortunately
I haven't yet released an LP in 2008. It will be great when I do, though.
