Happy Face 29 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Keep meaning to catch up on back catalogues, but keep ploughing on with new artists and old favourites. Started listening to Roxy Music and Can last week though and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone fancy voting for a band/artist each week for everyone else to listen to, learn about and comment on? Tied in the vote with new albums for the week so there's something for people who already know them inside out. Can add any other to the vote.

adios 717 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'd be up for this though I have a broad but shallow taste in music, so not sure I could add much insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Obviously voted Future Islands. Saw them in Paris summer before last by bribing security for held back tickets. Edited April 9, 2017 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Got the new one yet? Nothing stood out on my first listen like seasons immediately appealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Haven't heard the full new album yet. Couple of tracks sounded a bit lazy or re-workings of old ideas. My main interest in them is the mix of 80's Manchester/Sheffield/Liverpool period of alt synth bands. There is a clear melancholy to most of their tracks that linger in the mind and actually don't reward too close a listen. It is something far away that promises to reveal itself but never quite does..This is their charm. There is some Psychedelic Furs, Icicle Works and Simple Minds creeping about in there as well. Proper review to follow. My mate likes them cause the lead singer looks like his brother. Edited April 9, 2017 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13856 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Joey Badass' new one is really good if you like your hip-hop a bit more traditional for lack of a better word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4747 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Not so new but I've been on Steven Wilsons "Hand. Cannot. Erase." a lot lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Lat week saw a 3 way tie between Future Islands, Fujiya & Miyagi and Joey Bada$$ Haven't listened to F&M but prefer the FI to the JB. This week... it has to be a landslide right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30537 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Listened to KL several times during the week and just can't love it. Though that goes for pretty much all of his work. I don't dislike it but don't understand the acclaim that he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 SputnikMusic say this one is his best since section.80 fucking contrary critics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 PRIDE off the KL album was produced by Steve Lacy. 18 year old and he gets a track on the biggest album of the year so far... and he still works exclusively on an iphone!

ewerk 30537 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Except he doesn't work exclusively on iPhone and that track wasn't recorded / produced exclusively on an iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 whey that's what I was told and I prefer that story so you haven't convinced me otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30537 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Except that he has himself tweeted exactly the opposite to your story just today. Fuck the MSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Did seem questionable like. Those irigs are $40 and get minging reviews for their sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30537 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The album is still average though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) The fucker is using a 330 Rickenbacker, a fender precision bass and "there is all this studio equipment", there is no chance he uses his phone and an irig to record the music he releases. People just talk such shite. Edited April 16, 2017 by sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just talk such shite. The first few bars sounded so clean no way it was recorded without professional gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
