Music you’ve discovered

[CEB]

Enough of the oldies mentioning that the sixties were quite good.
Post recent good stuff here.

This is Japanese Breakfast, project of writer & musician Michelle Zauner. She’s bloody great

[bethnalgreenboy]

Will this song be played in sixty years time I doubt it very much

[Long slender neck]

Have you drawn her naked yet?

Have you drawn her naked yet?

No, just drawn her as she performs music;

[CEB]

Though bloody hell, that drawing has not aged well, she looks more shiny than the guitar

[The Mindsweep]

They’re London based but have you heard anything by Kero Kero Bonito?
Also, if you like Chai you might like Hinds, who released a joint single with Chai and who are really good, despite (or maybe because) they seem very unfamiliar with a guitar tuner

[Proposition Joe]

Heard this on 6 a short while ago so not pretending to be the next great A&R man but very much enjoyed it and the accompanying record:

Sylvan Esso - Echo Party https://g.co/kgs/MLJikm

Hinds, not heard them mentioned in a while. Had tickets to see them a few years back and then forgot all about it until going through my emails several months after the event, fascinating true story. Did the same with Sleigh Bells too, which I was furious about.

Did that with a Superorganism gig. Maybe it’s like a little gland in the head that keeps ageing indie fans from ruining the aesthetic?

[Proposition Joe]

Maybe. I got relatively last minute Symposium tickets for their reunion show last year then promptly got hand, foot and mouth 24hrs later so the aesthetic also remains intact there.

[CEB]

Yeah, all the kids are going to symposium gigs

Lucrecia Dalt -- No Tiempo

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Also Asian themed but discovered Mitski a few months ago. Her last album was probably my favourite of 2022. Great performer too.

Some great stuff there. Seen Big Thief a couple of times, bloody fantastic live

[Proposition Joe]

Aldous Harding has a wonderful voice.

[CEB]

Jonathan Bree is bloody good if you’re into slightly Scott Walker-esque pop

Yes! Wonderful live band

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Great thread. Will go through and have a listen

[Scuba Diver]

New to me, though not necessarily new to all the apparent cool-cats on here, but in the last few months:

Subjective : Act 1: Music for Inaminate Objects (2019)

Phantogram - Eyelid Movies (2010)

The Smile - A light for attracting attention (2022)

I'm no doubt years behind everyeone else, as am a non-digital music type, so don't have the world at my fingertips like some..

[The Mindsweep]

I like what they've done here with one of the finest songs of last year

Real shame that the singer left. I hope he's doing better, and that the band is able to keep doing what they do.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Didn't realise the singer left.

I'll be honest, when there was a buzz about their first album i listened and didnt really 'get it'. But I've returned and really enjoy them. The latest album has a real air of sadness about it. Reminds me a bit of arcade fire.

[oxo]

Yeah, I read in an interview somewhere that they got a bit obsessed with watching old Arcade Fire live sets when they were working on this one.
