End of another year. Decent one imo for music. Some great new bands and some old favourites delivering. Some future classics me thinks.
My favourites are as follows
The Orielles - Silver Dollar Moment - Superb debut a very young band that look even younger than there years. These might be the real deal. Great new 7 inch out as well. Radio 6 faves so easy to check out.
Echo and the Bunneymen - The Stars the Oceans and the moon - some feat to re do your classic tracks and do them justice, wonderful versions
Spiritualized - And nothing Hurts - back on form best Spiritualized album since let it come down
Sink ya teeth - sink ya teeth - another wonderful debut. As fellow New Order fans check them out as I think you’ll like.
Goat Girl - Goat Girl - dark tails, great band, one of my most played.
Steve Rutter(b12) - Brain fog - one of the uk techno greats from the 90’s hits us with this very personal album, what a gem.
Skee Mask - Compro - only just got this so needs more listens, but sounds like a classic. Perfect fusion of techno, ambient and drum and bass.
Panda Bear - A Day with the Homies - not an album but a 5 track ep. Wonderful all the same.
Boy Azooga - 1,2 Kung Fu - another great debut, lots of styles here but pulled off in style, great live as well.
The Shadow Party - some great tracks on here, although patchy debut, lacks a bit of cohesion as an album, but promising start
