Hey @Moss you heard this record - 

Velvet Morning - Gorilla (Full Album) - YouTube

Sounds pretty good - getting heavy Floyd notes

Yes - a mate recommended it to me. Never heard of them before - but I like it. Its one trick, but a good trick.

The new Planetarium album is pretty stunningly good

Some beautiful orchestral backing

Yes. It is brilliant. Way off the top of the scale in terms of composition - these guys know their stuff.

The new Hey Colossus album is a superb throwback to the like of The Birthday Party and The Jesus Lizard at their best. This track has been on repeat this morning.

I'm fairly new to Sufjan, and his vocals have yet to do anything other than blow me away

New King Gizzard is pretty awesome

So prolific too - I went to see them the other week - intense live show. You listened to Pond's new record?

You going to see FJM later this year @moss? ;

Still haven't got round to listening to the new Pond - the last one was quite good, though

Sadly no FJM tickets - LCD Soundsystem at Ally Pally will be the big one this year

NPR are streaming the new Public Service Broadcasting album

It's really rather good

Does anyone remember the old Pond? The band from Oregon who were on Sub Pop?
I saw them supporting Throwing Muses back in 1993 and thought they were really good. This was their first single, which we bought from their merch table on green vinyl. It was mixed by Jon Auer from The Posies.

TTBZ

Was "working" at 2000 trees festival on thurs/Fri and saw some stuff that otherwise would have flown under my radar which I really enjoyed. Lots of grunge and 90s influenced stuff seems to be coming back in

Jamie Lenman - outstanding. I'd heard Reuben but not much else of his. Royal Blood take note, this is how you do a 2pc band properly.
Dinosaur Pile Up
The Dirty Nil 
Tigercub
Weirds
Black Foxxes

Heard this song by Japanese Breakfast on BBC6 is and loved it, shoegaze tastic



The new album is very good too

I'm liking this @MagicPigDetective .   

I got the new Slowdive album and the new Ride album and I'm enjoying them both.  They're the first non-hard rock or metal albums that I've bought in a long, long time.   It makes a nice change of pace.

Also really enjoying Japanese Breakfast, Slowdive and Ride

The current obsession is Planning for Burial - stunning blackgaze/doom metal

MagicPigDetective

I'm discovering a lot of bands on KEXP's live studio sessions youtube channel. The latest is Beach Fossils; lush, dreamy, poppy indie psychedelic type thing. Bought their new album and it's great. Fairly similar to Japanese Breakfast in style (and use of a white strat).

How has this thread passed me by? A quick scan through the pages and there's lots of acts I like being mentioned.  Gonna have to go through all the links now!!

Been listening to Hammock for years now. Their new album is a real return to form. Brilliant dynamics. Spine tingling stuff.

lasermonkey

Been looking forward to the new Hammock album. I've just heard the one song so far and as you say, spine-tingling.
