2024 New Music

[Crazyfool01]

Had a listen to the new Coldplay album in full at a listening event last night … we pray and it feels like I’m falling in love definately feel like the strongest tracks on that album and i love Elyanas vocals … first and last track are sort of instrumental and I’d possibly say tracks 8 and 9 are a bit more uplifting and the ones that might also do ok . Excuse me forgetting track titles

Feels foreboding when some of the worst singles they've released in their career are the high points of the album

Others may of course feel different to me but I liked them but definately grown on me and have added emotional attachment from June but of course others may also prefer the as yet unknown stuff . I’m a long way from being an expert critique in these things 🙂

Preach, brother. 
 

No such thing as a guilty pleasure.

 

You like Britney Spears? Toto? Chas and Dave?! 
 

f**king play that sh*t loud and proud.

My only caveat on that is if you like Skrewdriver. Then you should feel guilty

That new The Smile album is insanely good.

New Bartees Strange came out this week. Album due out February.

 

Would love him to get a slot on the farm:

Wow, the debut from Geordie Greep (Black Midi) is absolutely incredible! So much going on in there, but my word it’s excellent chaos.
I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t end up as my AOTY.

The single is certainly quite something.

It's very theatrical in a literal sense - like a Broadway number. I love it

I have feet for dancing, not sure God gave them, but will go along, for the purposes...

Greep album is insane

The singles the other month prepared me somewhat for it, but yeah, he's a man with a singular vision, eh? Not sure it quite all works, but it's unlike anything else I've heard this year ever. Got to admire the vision if nothing else. Hoping he's a lock-in for EOTR next year.

Going to be a punchy old morning at the record shop, Aphex Twin reissue, Geordie Greep, the Smile, Caribou etc. 

 

That OneDa album is pretty decent too

I expect the Momus-eque louch lounge lizard persona will start to grate after a while.

Have to agree. Bonkers and brilliant in equal measure.

Liking the newest Floating Points album. His modular synths sound amazing - love the way he uses them to create such beautiful textures and soundscapes, it's a bit more dancy than the last one with Pharoah Sanders, though he manages to still keep it flowy and a bit hypnotic like the last one.

Went from not knowing a whole lot to being a fan when he stepped in late doors at EOTR this year on the Sunday night. Great gig.

Probably some chance of him doing a prominent slot at Glastonbury next year, Park or WH sub maybe.

Agreed this album is a dream. Park sub would be ideal.

Given they've headed out with Iron Maiden themselves, this cover of The Trooper by The Hu has got some proper swagger to it.
