2024 New Music

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'll need to check it out. I liked his debut, but my attention sort of wandered. I used to live near him and would see him about all the time.

As a massive fan of Withered Hand, I'm used to waiting ages for new music - just his 4th album in 15 years, hardly prolific! Worth the wait though IMO - the most underrated songwriter in Britain. 

Interesting I don’t know him at all but I am a big Kathryn Williams fan between the 2 of us we make the perfect superfan! 😂

I had a nice chat with him in an interval at one of his gigs a few years ago. He seemed like a really lovely guy. Sadly the gig was only attended by about 20 people, so I don't think he'll be coming back to Cheltenham any time soon!

Yeah, I knew her name but have never really listened to her stuff - I'll definitely check her out on the strength of this album.

Yeah, loving the new St Vincent album!

Probably my favourite album of the year so far. A valuable lesson in the benefits of moving on from Jack Antonoff’s tired schtick (take note Swifty) 

 

if Violent Times is anything to go by, she’d write a cracking Bond them.

Listened to it today on the bus and you're right it's pretty lovely. Just saw they are playing Manchester but unfortunately I have another gig that day.

I was a bit rash on the new Taylor album. I called it a slog at the time and thought it was quite tedious…

 

I’ve given it a few more listens as I’m a fan and it really is a grower. To be honest I don’t think I’ll play the album in full that often and some of the lyrics are a bit clumsy but there’s definitely a few gems in there

New one from Orlando (ft Rhian from Wet Leg).
I’m a massive Maccabees fan and haven’t really connected with his solo stuff so far, but this is sounding much more like it.

New Ariana Grande is good, wouldn't put it above Thank U, Next but it's definitely got a fair few pop bangers in there (Supernatural, Bye, The Boy is Mine, Yes and?). It's a bit softer than previous albums and it works well.

New Camera Obscura is sounding rather lovely.

Aye, it's gorgeous. Possibly missing a banger like 'French Navy', but still a great listen. 

[WS_Jack_III]

😂Brilliant

[internetjef]

New lemon twigs sounds nice but it’s not got as many immediately catchy ones the last album IMO 

[Acid_Haze]

The new Tierra Whack album is pretty good. I like it's minimalist sound. It's quite poppy hip hop but it has an honesty and a quirkiness about it.

[Acid_Haze]

I absolutely adore the new Adrianne Lenker album. Spellbinding stuff, she's an amazing songwriter, must be one of the best of our time, such subtly beautiful songs. Might be my new favourite album of the year, above the Mannequin Pussy one.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Lemon Twigs have rattled off two bangers in quick succession. Really scratches the retro itch.

Knocked loose album out tomorrow. Been getting rave reviews, looking forward to it. Could they be on.the farm this year maybe..?

No chance at this point - it seems the festival has already hit their quota of ‘heavy’ bands, and I’d say they’re growing so fast as a band that come next festival they’ll be taking big slots and out of Glastonbury’s price range (not that they were ever overly likely in the first place, but had Glastonbury continued to book Gojira/Venom Prison-type bookings, then who knows).

Stoked for the album mind, and so cool to see a band like them blowing up in this day and age.

New Arab Strap album is a banger

Late to the party as usual but I love the new Waxahatchee. Beautifully crafted songs that have a lot of heart to them. Hope to see them book her for the Park stage next year. Love the harmonies especially on this song.

New Fontaines DC live track up on youtube. Sounds absolutely fantastic.
