I’m liking the thought you wear the T-shirt of every band whilst you listen to them! Must have some wardrobe 🤣

I've tried to get into the habit of listening to one album from a band if I'm wearing their shirt that day

Man cannot live by bread alone.

 

(He also needs records and marge)

Wear the record label, not the band

I'm heading down this road a bit, labels and record shops.

The inescapable lure of Gary Barlow.

I'd have a rather repetitive listening experience! 

[NorthernSoul52]

I'm wearing a Springsteen shirt, so I guess it's accurate I'm spinning Tunnel of Love.

 

The second best Tunnel of Love Roy Bittan played on, of course.

The new album by the Smile is a good one, even though it seems like offcuts from the Wall of Eyes sessions, the tracks are still amazing as per. They just can't go wrong with the sound they've found. It's got a brilliant atmosphere, the songs are a bit looser than the previous albums. Love the drumming and guitar-work. Don't know how they manage to turn weird riffs and time signatures into cohesive songs.

Mentioned a track from this the other week but now have the album out as of Friday. Lo fi and fairly minimal, and 100% lush. Been listening to this a lot.

 

 

Shall investigate when I have more time. Liking what I hear

The new Confidence Man album is an absolute ‘banger’ as they so. So good. Shame this wasn’t ready a few months earlier as it would have been a great summer album, not sure it hits the same with winter approaching - but superb nonetheless. 

[Henrik]

New Japandroids today! 

 

[Chip Batch]

Two listens in to the new Porridge Radio album and it's really good.

Both excellent recommendations, really enjoyed them. I've started a mini-version of your challenge - want to reach 200 by June.

 

I've done an instinctive rating system of what I've listened to so far and can't separate those two you recommended (both solid 7.5!).

It's really addictive once you get going, that dopamine hit of finding a new album that really resonates with you is just such a great pay off

Foxing and Deadletter albums are both out tomorrow and great in the alt-indie-math-rock world.

 

Deadletter's album is very good and well worth a listen.

This is class.  Completely unique sound, but catchy as Hell.  Love it.

Confidence Man's third album is absolute wall-to-wall dance bangers that are heavy on the 90s influence. Love how psychedelic this opener gets in the second half:

The new Charli XCX remix album is good, It's got the vibe of an afterparty where people are starting to get tired and reflective. I like it, mainly cause I like the whole Brat sound and anything that continues that is great. That being said though, I don't really think of any of the versions in the album beat the original Brat versions other than Girl, So Confusing. Makes me think she should've just released the original album with the Lorde version and that be it.  So I with A.G. Cook and Everything is Romantic with Caroline Polachek are great though and come close to being better than the originals. The Julian Casablancas and 1975/Jon Hopkins ones are low points.

[NorthernSoul52]

Julian Casablancas was quite the eye-raising inclusion. At least you know CXCX goes way back with The 1975.

New video for Wallflower by October Drift .... Tour starts Friday at Thekla ... would imagine this is the one they perform amongst the audience

Still a week or so to go but The Cure's new album Songs of a Lost World is currently getting universal praise.

 

5/5 from The Guardian

5/5 from NME

5/5 from the Times

9/10 from Uncut

 

Average of 92 on Album of the Year [7 reviews] & 95 on Metacritic [5 reviews].

[Acid_Haze]

I love the newest Chat Pile album, probably the best I've heard from them. The musicianship on the album is incredible, it's got a lot of great sludgy grooves in it. The vibe is very harsh and melancholic though so I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for something to lift your spirits. It's got a real sense of anger and frustration to it though which I like.

[CaledonianGonzo]

New Gaga single release day for those who celebrate.

[st dan]

Laura Marling’s new album is bloody lovely. 

[Euphoricape]

New Underworld and Amyl and the Sniffers albums out today. Should both be at the farm next year with any luck.
