Should be great. Gonna have to go and re-listen to Singles for like the hundredth time. Although I'm not a massive fan of all things Future Islands, this is my favourite song of theirs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 i've been listening to Kid A a lot lately for some reason. just in a Radiohead mood. i know it's not new, and i'm not saying anything new about it, but that album is seriously phenomenal. even the 'weird' stuff on there is just amazing to me. i think it may actually be my #1 of theirs - somehow beating out In Rainbows also have been re-listening to Youth Lagoon's Year of Hibernation which I haven't listened to in YEARS. it's very same-y throughout, but great if you're in that mood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beluga Whale Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 New Animal Collective EP is....pretty bonkers. I like the songs more than those on Painting With but I pretty much like everything from them. Vocal styles from Avey and Panda are nice on this too. The Jimmy Mack cover is definitely my favourite part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Whale Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The Courtneys II is legit. Not even all the way done but I like it. Female lead, power pop band right from vancouver for anyone interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 i loved both previous father john misty albums, but his new one (Pure Comedy) leaked and i could barely finish it. it's basically like listening to an extremely depressed man who has done too much LSD proselytize over some decent-i-guess baroque pop. i actually find his lyrics pretty interesting and engaging, but the music is DULL. i couldn't recite a chorus--i'm not even sure if there was even any? it almost sounds like FJM just singing off a series of essays or something. an interesting listen, i guess. can't really imagine it becoming a favourite though edit: just read a few other comments on another website and some people referred to some songs as being "catchy" and i'm completely dumbfounded. maybe i just wasn't in the mood, or one of those repeat-listen albums. either way, not really my thing after one listen -- but your own judge if you dig fjm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 new album from The Shins out. outside of two or three of the singles I don't care for it much at all. new Magnetic Fields out too, but i haven't listened yet (50 songs). really excited for that. new shoegaze-lite band Jay Som getting some hype on the internet right now -- but the release bored me after one listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Here are the "Not released in 2017 Albums" that I bought in 2017: Bee Gees - Bee Gees' 1st - Horizontal - Idea - Odessa - Trafalgar - Main Course Aside from "Main Course", which is certainly a blend between funk/early disco, their early catalog is incredibly 1960 era Beatles inspired. So good. Carly Simon - No Secrets - Hotcakes Tom Tom Club - Tom Tom Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really interesting to find out that they released about a half dozen albums before disco was even a thing. And all their stuff was heavy British envasion influenced. Was pleasantly surprised to hear their stuff and how terrific it actually is. Especially considering they were 17-19 years old when they broke out.

GLASSJAW Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 just gave the new Jesus and Mary Chain a listen. it's totally mediocre overall. few decent moments. if only they hired a producer with experience with shoegaze/noise rock and didn't try to make it so.. clean? sounding, maybe it could have been better. in my opinion, the vocals are too high in the mix. this puts WAY too much emphasis on the band's lyrics which are bad at worst, decent at best, and usually just sound like placeholders. the forced half-whisper/half-singing vocals get a bit exhausting over an hour too. there's a bit of diversity with the female vocals thrown in but how about instead of introducing new singers they just take the vocals down a bit and emphasize the thing they are known for? GUITAR anyway, it's okay i guess. still might check them out in vancouver, but it'll just be out of curiosity rather than excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beluga Whale Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Trying to revive this thread lol. New New Pornographers is nice. Especially like the first few songs - Play Money, Whiteout Conditions and High ticket attraction are all fun. New Future Islands is alright but definitely nowhere near as good as Singles Haven't checked out new Papa J Misty but haven't heard great things and that 75 minute run time is intimidating tbh. Also those new Frank Ocean songs are fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
