My brothers band Brigade have a new album out tomorrow called Dissonance.

I’m not sure how best to describe them, they’ve played with bands like Biffy, Bring Me The Horizon and Fightstar back in the day, so I guess there are some similarities to that type of music.

It’s my brothers first album with them, they’ve not released one in years as they’re all grown up now with jobs and lives and that sort of shit that gets in the way of recording and playing when you have minimal backing.

Just thought I’d throw it in here in case anyone might be interested

Not been in here for a while, but I can see there are a few recommendations I shall have to catch up on. As for what I've been listening to lately, if anyone is interested...

Wow, Working Men's Club are properly channelling Gary Numan/early OMD on their latest - this is truly marvellous:

Kind of feel Nation of Language got there first with A Way Forward last year, but I'm totally into the "epic 80s synth throwback" vibe.

Jane Weaver's Oblique Fantasy, touched by the magic hands of Mr Dan Carey (which you can really hear), is also somewhat awesome:
https://youtu.be/9k_L1G0dkFc

And Hot Chip have recently put out a track from their forthcoming album that makes my hips twitch:
https://youtu.be/M8QdB1w-pXo

Hot Chip produced the Ibibio Sound Machine album that came out earlier this year, and I think they've rubbed off on each other - you get a feel for both groups from each other's tracks. Ibibio's All That You Want is still lovely:

Another one I'm really enjoying right now is the new Monophonics album, Sage Motel - favourite track so far is Warpaint, which has a lovely 70s Northern Soul feel to it:

Great tunes, smutchin!

Particularly enjoy the Hot Chip track and Ibibio Sound Machine track. Hot Chip make some great tunes.

The Smile album is hitting the spot for me

Guess it'll have its enemies but the textures man. Naggingly deep instrumentation

Ive already told the wife that I need a couple of hours on my own for this. Loved every track so far, listen to the whole album later.

Ace! Yeah it's deeper than I thought. Expected something like The Eraser with real drums but Jonny is putting some amazing guitar work in and the strings

Drumming is superb and the songs are about things. I mean I don't like music where someone sings their diary but here I am buzzing off a new album because it fits my mood which is the mood of the times to some extent

Nicely varied. There's even an acoustic guitar track

Thom does some great bass too. Won't spoil. It's a proper album experience IMO. Stick it on and soak in it

I really like what I've heard of The Smile so far. Need to give the album a proper listen.

Really enjoying the new My Chemical Romance track. Dunno if their comeback means much to many people here, but as a little emo teenager in the mid 2000s, the new track hits heavy on the old nostalgia. It honestly wouldn't sound out of place on The Black Parade.

Kevin Morby's latest is rather excellent. A return to form for him.

I particularly like the duet on Bittersweet, TN.

Cheers smutchin. They’ve just been asked to support Bush at Shepherds Bush Empire next month as well, so that’s pretty cool too

Their albums (not their live performances) have been slipping down the scale recently, this looks like back on an upward curve

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but was listening to the La's album and thinking about the best album released from bands/artists who only released one album. Obviously the La's but Jeff Buckley was another I thought of, anyone got any others?

Absolutely loving the new Working Men's Club stuff. Yesterday they released a new one from their forthcoming album, Ploys, and it's another belter:

https://youtu.be/LECCjs6KHHQ

The album is already looking like a strong contender for the end of year reckoning just based on what they've put out so far. Also very excited to have just bagged myself a ticket for their in-store at Rough Trade East next month.

Heard a couple of new The National tracks in Belfast last night. More raw and stripped back than the last couple of albums. Impressive.

Are they touring up there? The cancelled their last Oz tour due to the pandemic. One of my fave live bands (mind you I've only seen them twice and that was on the Sydney Opera House Forecourt).

thejbs · « **Reply #196 on:** June 8, 2022, 11:29:22 am »

I’m lucky enough to have seen them over a dozen times (including even supporting them back in 2008)

This was a twice rescheduled show from 2020/2021. Pretty similar to the show in 2019 but with the new stuff added. Back to playing as a solid seven piece like how they were during boxer (with eve Owen jumping in for backing vox on a few songs)
