Best New Music 2019

[wev]

Get sharing!

 

Ive enjoyed listening to Street Revolution by Louise Distras this weekend. 

 

 

[Stanley]

This on heavy rotation at the moment, strong industrial/Front 242 vibes.

 

 

[Qazimod]

The 2018 self-titled album didn't really do it for me, but this has some highlights - that bassline in the title track is  

 

 

[wev]

New single from Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes 

 

 

 

[Tonald Drump]

Need some more down trodden, over worked and under paid, failed relationship and solitude at the bottom of a whisky glass music?

 

The Delines - The Imperial

 

 

[Qazimod]

Daaamn, new General Levy! 

 

 

[Stanley]

Couple of singles, no album as yet, but check out this lot. Very promising.

 

[Qazimod]

This was teased on Tuesday so I’ve been keen to hear the full thing...

[Uncle Nasty]

Holy shit that is fucking awful.

[Stanley]

Oh God.

[Quest]

It's so basic, in a really unpleasant way. Like something I made in Music 2000 on the PS1.

[deerokus]

I think my music 2000 creations were better than that. Very uninspired. 

 

 

Did anyone else record theirs to VHS? 

[Qazimod]

Oof, sorry gramps.  

 

Kidding aside, one criticism I do have is that the teaser snippet I heard on Twitter is pretty much the entire song, and the new album content revealed before this was a little more varied and interesting. So as much as I loved the first listen I don’t know if it’ll stay in my rotation for long - much like Star Guitar, thinking about it!

 

And @deerokus - for the truly ghetto recordings, it was all about angling the mic of your stereo towards the TV speaker. 

[Shoes]

Bibio's new single is enchanting.

I remember people saying the exact same thing about Star Guitar.

 

I mean, it is shite, though.

No it isn't.

 

It's an average song by a band in their declining years.

 

But it's fine.

[Stanley]

Nah it is awful, same bands last material was far better.

 

New Mikron release on the excellent Central Processing Unit label.

I'll admit that after the honeymoon period I have lost interest in it a bit. (Also my post was made literally as I discovered that it was out, so I was a bit quick to post the shiny new thing.  ) I think the biggest problem is that it's just "fine" - inoffensive, listenable stuff with not much beyond the hook (again, like Star Guitar). You can't have an opinion on the internet without viewing things as the worst creation ever or the second coming with no middle ground, so of course people will say it's awful - but I do hope that the best stuff is being saved for the album.

New Ladytron album is wonderful. Absolutely love it.

Got real Fugazi vibes from this, which is obviously a good thing

Yeah, I'm really enjoying it. Nice to have them back.

[Qazimod]

Late to the party here but there are some lovely chilled beats in this Kyrist EP released earlier this month  

 

 

[Stanley]

This is quite a lovely mix. Powder is pretty awesome.

 

[Quest]

If we're doing Powder, the thread needs the video for New Tribe.

 

 

 

[Stanley]

Yeah New Tribe is fecking brilliant, she's put it in that mix an' all. Gift is also great.

[Fierce Poodle]

First album of 2019 that’s got me properly frothing.
