The 2018 new music thread

[Tactful Cactus]

Very much looking forward to the new Parquet Courts. This is good!

Album any good?

Bought it last night from rough trade online.. Will report back soon

[never/ever]

Quite like the new Ray Lamontagne-album, it is not spectacular but enjoyable.

Anyone here heard the new Ry Cooder?

It starts well and then begins to grate towards the end.

I'm very excited for Olivia Chaney's new album, coming out next month. The first single is promising

[sloopjohnc]

So far, it's been a pretty good year for hip-hop. Here's the stuff I've liked so far. . .

Tech N9ne - Planet
Migos - Culture II
Czarface & MF Doom - Czarface Meets Metal Face
Black Milk - Fever
Flatbush Zombies - Vacation in Hell
Richie Home Quan - Rich As in Spirit
Jericho Jackson - Khrysis & Elzhi Are Jericho Jackson
Jean Grae & Quelle Chris — Everything’s Fine
Nipsey Hussle — Victory Lap
Cardi B — Invasion of Privacy

[Count Machuki]

Cardi B — Invasion of Privacy

I heard a great song off this blaring from somebody else's car stereo this morning. I think I want to hear the album now!

[Hightea]

like the new courtney album


Its even better live as we saw her preview the whole album in Brooklyn last week.

[sloopjohnc]

Three good new ones I've listened to

Wooden Shjips - V
The Why Oh Whys - Oh
Sunflower Bean - Twentytwo in Blue

Sunflower Bean - Twentytwo in Blue

That's good - I bought V today and have yet to play it. Sunflower Bean seems like a huge career-defining improvement on anything they have done before.

This seems to be making a bit of a buzz at the moment in the world of immaculately produced indie:

It's too like Camera Obscura for me; I wasn't convinced.

[Oscar]

I think it's a very poor year so far. Over half-way through and nothing particularly "special" yet.


I think I like this...


Where's DGS when you need him

[ChrisB]

Sons of Bill, Dawes and Johnny Marr are my 3 latest acquisitions and splendid they all are. Having said that, I've added very little to my collection this year, maybe 20 if that.

[Moleskin]

The new Cowboy Junkies and Jayhawks records are well worth your while.

[clive gash]

New Kamasai Washington.

Only played the secret hidden disc, a fucking cheese fest that doesn’t prompt me to play the rest.

[Moleskin]

Also...

Gwenno -Le Kov
Dream Wife - Dream Wife
Hinds - I Don't Run
Brent Cobb - Providence Canyon
Joshua Hedley - Mr Jukebox
Ashley Monroe - Sparrow

I like the Belly and Breeders comebacks as well.

[joels344]

After 20+ albums from 2018, this remains my favorite so far.



Anna von Hausswolff - Dead Magic

[Oscar]

I like Heaven and Earth but as with his last (full) album there's far too much of it.

[Oscar]

The new Cowboy Junkies and Jayhawks records are well worth your while.

New Cowboy Junkies, you say?

[Tactful Cactus]

The songs by the second guitarist let it down a bit but there's at least half of a brilliant PC album there. And the Dangermouse production is not at all heavy-handed.

[Geezee]

Some of the Minutemen references are a bit too heavy-handed for me but the PC is one of my favourites of the year so far as well.

[Moleskin]

The new Cowboy Junkies and Jayhawks records are well worth your while.

New Cowboy Junkies, you say?

Oh yes. Only listened twice but am liking it. All That Reckoning came out on Friday.
