These days, my inbox is overwhelmed with notices and heads up regarding new music, so much coming through on a daily basis that I just can't keep up with it, let alone mention it on this blog.
Which is a shame, because there's a lot of interesting stuff out there, whether it's artists that I'm hearing for the first time, don't know a lot about but am already hooked, or long-time favourites still hitting the mark.
So, I've gathered ten releases in the past week or so and put them in one big smorgasbord of audio and visual tasters. If you like them, click on the artist's name to buy their music.
Oh, and make sure you stop by A History Of Dubious Taste, where Jez wrote a great piece yesterday, enthusing about one of the artists featured below, an early contender for his album of 2025.
Immerse yourself in the music.
1) You Were The Ones I Had To Betray: Dean Wareham
2) Queen Of 14th St: Decius
2) Queen Of 14th St: Decius
3) Vacillator: Ethel Cain
4) Switch Over: Horsegirl
5) Orlando in Love: Japanese Breakfast
6) Cuntology 101: Lambrini Girls
7) Fanzine Made Of Flesh: Mogwai
8) Disco Nap: Polo & Pan ft. Metronomy
9) Imagine 100 Dads: SKLOSS
10) Mirror: The Weather Station
I can confirm the new The Weather Station tracks are excellent and I shall be going to see her on Sunday at Rough Trade!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great night out, Mike! She’s back in March, at The Fleece. A midweek gig but I’m sorely tempted!
DeleteNot been sent anything about SKLOSS by the folks in Promoland but they have been bombarding me with emails about SLOKS. No relation as far as I can tell.
ReplyDeleteI feel obliged to check them out, Ernie. Just imagine if they recorded a joint single. Who would get too billing…?!
DeleteNew Mogwai is superb and lined up for a slot at Bagging Area soon. New Decius is brilliant. Lambrini Girls are ace- and cunty. Haven't heard the new Dean Wareham yet- will catch up asap and check out the rest too.
ReplyDeleteI think Decius are another band in a long list that I have to thank you for the heads up.
DeleteYep, the new Dean Wareham is lovely
ReplyDeleteWhilst Ethel Cain’s song is pretty much the opposite, but no less compelling. Choices, choices!
DeleteI also really liked Miki Berenyi's new single yesterday. [sk]
ReplyDeleteThanks [sk], you’ll be very pleased with tomorrow’s post then, which I wrote at the same time as this one.
