Only played it once and can report:

a) It certainly isn't all new direction / funky like Gagarin (phew)
b) It does start slow
c) Not sure it fires on enough cylinders for me, seems slowish throughout.

Give it another go and hope it grows on me.

Any better? Think this is becoming my first must have album of the year.

After the superb 'The War Room', I think they've been indifferent at best and IMO, the new album is uninspiring and ultimately, quite dull.

Had a 2nd listen to the PSB album and it only grew on me a bit.

Considering it is only 43 minutes long, too many songs are slow, dull 'filler' (a similar accusation could be made of the first album but not to this extreme). If you picked the best 5 songs and made it a 'concept EP' like The War Room then it would be reasonably good but still not quite great. I still love them and some songs like E.V.A. do lift you up in parts but can't quite hold you there. Seems like it is harder than it seems to make a great song their way.

If I was making a 45 minute 'best of' for one side of a C90 (youngsters - think playlist) then only Gagarin and Go! would make the cut.

She sounds like about three different singers in this...Harvey, Lashes and Hynde.

Been listening to Josef Salvat today. What a talent!! Not heard him before today but I'm instantly hooked. I went on Spotify to listen to more of his stuff and haven't found a bad track yet.

Anyone know much about him...?

Zimmerman judging from some of the videos you posted I'm guessing you like Devendra Banhart as well?

Couple of bands I like who I've been listening to lately, I'm sure many of you are already aware of them.

And from one new Tame Impala track to another. I imagine this is a bit of a Marmite tune, probably even more so for fellow TI fans, but I love it!

Sunstack Jones - Good This Time






Tess Parks - Somedays. She has an album coming out this month with Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre), but this is one from her last solo record.

Yes! Caught them live a few weekends back and heard them on the radio a few times. Good stuff.


Believe it's one of the guys from Veronica Falls (who's also done some cracking tunes in the duo The Proper Ornaments - check them out if you're unfamiliar) , teaming up with one of the guys from Mazes.

Ultimate Painting are one of my favourite artists.

Are Extreme Ironing a heavy metal band or something you'd hear on Smooth radio?

On Smooth FM they were found to cause a decrease in listeners. The wrinklies didn't them. Left them feeling kinda flat.

Since last Xmas (pressie, so I had to wait :( ) all I've played in the car (when alone) is Endless River. Before that it was Rammstein.

I apologise if I'm too mainstream for you lot :)

This really is very, very good.

At times like this I wish I was a young person familiar with the software needed to rip a Soundcloud song onto MP3.....

A track from Ought's latest album. The singer (a sort of cross between Joseph Gordon-Levitt and a young Feargal Sharkey?) always seems to channel the vocals of Mark E. Smith.





And one from the debut LP:
