[kaiser_soze13]

This week, I have been mostly listening to:

Explosions in the Sky - All of a sudden I miss Everyone

Dananananaykroyd - Hey Everyone!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz

and

Silversun Pickups - Swoon

Would highly recommend them all.

City & Colour - Bring me your love

Beautiful album,

Highly recommend

[Wooderson]

ok, not exactly a glasto band but..

new mastodon cd, Crack The Skye, is bloody awesome.

Its heavy but has layers and layers of melodies and nice complex bits

I was a fan before, but this is something else, the clean vox make such a difference over the previous growl.

anyone who likes proggy stuff shud check it out

You should look into the instrumental version of "Crack the Skye" aswell chief. There are parts of the vocals that can get a little nu-metal for my tastes but listening to an instrumental of "The Czar" is just BADASS. I'm a sucker for good artwork and this record ticks all my nerdy boxes.

[MartinGooding]

cheers for all these guys, i think il have a hell of alot of music to listen to over the upcoming weeks, and il give as many of them as possible a listen,

[MartinGooding]

murder ballads - nick cave and the bad seeds

[MartinGooding]

Defiance, Ohio - The Fear, The Fear, The Fear

About 25 minutes in length. Fast paced, mainly acoustic punk, with strings. Really good listen.

Circle Takes the Square - As The Roots Undo

Genuinly good screamo. If you don't like the genre, give this a try. It may surprise you

[Young Lover]

Explosions in the Sky - Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever

And this

[Messy]

really enjoying Defiance, Ohio but im struggling to get hold of Circle takes the square but il keep tryin

[rolfester]

Stuff from this/last year that I'm loving at the moment:

The Walkmen - You & Me

Been said already in this thread - great album and great live at Scala a few weeks back

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

Fabulous falsetto voice, strong song writing and great live too

f**ked Up - The Chemistry of Modern Life

Modern hardcore, the spirit of Black Flag lives on

Vivian Girls - Vivian Girls

Really like this, remonds me a bit of Sleater-Kinney which can't be bad can it?

Lindstrom - Where You Go I Go Too

Intelligent, forward thinking bleepy music

TV On The Radio - Dear Science

Edgy yet accessible, thier best yet imho

Deerhunter - Microcastle

Lovely, lovely indie with just a touch of prog

Portishead - Third

A long time coming but worth the wait. Machine Gun really rocks.

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

Beautiful harmonies, intelligent songwriting and stunning live

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

Moving sligtly more towards the mainstream and all the better for it, probably my favourite on this list

Fever Ray - Fever Ray

Moody experimental electronica with more than a touch of Bjork from Karin from The Knife

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz

As has been said already, great new album. Much more synth than previously but still got the New York edginess

PJ Harvey & John Parish - A Woman A Man Walked By

Love everything PJ has ever done, was not dissapointed by this at all

Bat for Lashes - Two Suns

Only just got hold of this but loving the folky electronica sound.

Fleet Foxes confirmed for Glastonbury, rumours about Bon Iver and Animal Collective - I'm hoping that some/all of the others play too...

[metalupyourass]

City and Colour - Sometimes

Bring me your Love

White Lies - To lose my life

The Maccabees - Colour it in

[Straight Through]

CTTS aren't for everyone. They definitely took me by surprise. My friend once described the lyrics as what you'd get if you put an HP Lovecraft into babelfish, and translated it to Spanish and back to English again.

Did take me a few listens to get into them though. Crater To Cough In was the first song I fell for, so to speak.

[Onion Terror]

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

Battles - Mirrored

TV on the Radio - Dear Science

Panda Bear - Person Pitch

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People

No Age - Nouns

[Robbie_D]

Howard Elliott Payne - Bright Light Ballads

[Chickenburger]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

[.jay.]

I Am The Golden Gate Bridge by Creature With The Atom Brain was one of my favourite albums of last year i discovered them when i saw them supporting Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles od Death Metal and Masters of Reality in Berlin last summer.

Any album by William Elliot Whitmore. He has 3 or 4. Folky, whiskey drinking, dustbowl sort of stuff. His voice is incredible.

This is "Dry" from Song of the Blackbird. Cracking album

">

[thegremlin_1999]

this album blew me away!

i'm the same as you as i loved them before but this is such a huge step forward imo

the drumming is just superb!

[.jay.]

excellent

shall we start Mastodon for glasto playing just crack the skye campaign?

(obv the older stuff wud be great too, but not sure the non-metalheads here'd get the vox...)

[elbongo]

I strongly recommend Yeah Yeah Yeahs new album. I never listened to their first album but It's Blitz is really fantastic.
