Albums from Spoon and Real Estate are out today. Something to listen to on my way home from work. :)

Conor Oberst has released 'Salutations' today, which is basically a live-band version of last years 'Ruminations', with a few extra songs chucked in. I liked Ruminations but it felt a little sparse and undercooked. Salutations sounds brilliant so far.
See, I liked Ruminations because it was raw and sparse. Salutations kinda takes the most interesting thing about the album away imo.

Out today - Father John Misty's new album, Pure Comedy. Getting great reviews (90 on metacritic currently), and Future Islands new album (The Far Field).

Also, another new Gorillaz track, which is also great :drool:

edit - and in case you're wondering, all of the above are on Spotify as of today

Been listening to the new TLC release. I'm really enjoying it and I love that they've blatantly just decided to make it sound like it's from 20 years ago.

I'm listening to an album by someone called Hoops. Just out today, never heard of them before, but Real Estate and Whitney fans should pay attention.

Thurston Moore and the Sufjan Stevens live album are great as well.

I can't tell if I like it or not... The synths on it are great. Snoop Dogg does a good job on it too. Might be a grower.

Been waiting for him to straight out sing like forever, would definitely listen to an acapella album.

Btw. Frank x Thugger !!! It's been taken down everywhere but I found a version with an incognito title.

Jeffrey got a mink on he look like cub! I wish he wasn't signed to such a lame label :(

UK rappers probably ahead of US at the moment. J Hus, Mo Stack, Kojo Funds, Santan Dave, Mist, Abra Cadabra, Nines, Lotto Boyz, Big Tobz then you have people like Skepta and Giggs. Feels a lot fresher at the moment.

Can't wait for the Hus album next week.

Not something I ever thought I'd say but......

I really quite like the new Paramore song.

Yeah it's really good., I heard CANNON a few months ago and that's been on regular rotation. On my second listen of the album now.

The Idles album, 'Brutalism', sounds good on first listen. It reminds me a bit of Sleaford Mods.

Young Thug's new album is pretty good. Stand outs for me are Take Care, She Said, Relationships and Daddy's Birthday.

What do you think of the new Kodak Black album? I'm a big fan
I think 'First Day Out' is better than most songs on his album which had some very good songs but felt a bit bloated and a bit too clean. Kodak sounds best when the soundscapes around him are little rougher and urgent and he can transmit the tension that surrounds him (see: No Flockin').

I'll check that out now. Thanks.

Still waiting for new Litmus album. They announced on Facebook that they had a lot of new material ready but that was a year and a half ago.
