Not listened to too much of his previous stuff. This is very pop instrumental music. Could almost be a film score in places. Pram released an album last week which I only just got round to checking out. Basically a band which love to make film score-esque music with strange instruments. Cool though.
The New Tides of Man album, Every Nothing, is incredible. I didn't think they would be able to top Young & Courageous, but this album blows it out of the water. No singer, no need. So good. I'll be spinning this all week.
I'll be listening to the debut albums from Lovelytheband and Spirit Animal. Also on tap, Houndmouth's sophomore release! Expect a review on at least one of these three soon.
That Deaf Havana album sounds like a christian rock album, not that there's anything wrong with that. Just not my cup o' tea. Didn't see a mention of Tides of Man. Really solid instrumental album. I think it lacks a little bit of the "kick" that Mountain House had, but still a solid listen. edit: deaf/dead
I'm super bummed by Deaf Havana's album so far. I'm about halfway through and the quality of these songs is super scattered.
Definitely need to check out Tides of Man, and based on this thread, I'll probably check Bad Bad Hats and Trophy Eyes, too
they're similar to Charly Bliss, and maybe a little bit like Diet Cig (before they've had their morning coffees) aka female-fronted indie rock that's perfect for a summer afternoon.
Gonna check out the new EP, "watch me", by Carah Faye too. She's the vocalist of Shiny Toy Guns. And yes, definitely spinning the new Deaf Havana.
The Makari release is really really good. I found out about them via the band “Awaken I Am” and Awaken I Am is actually a good band I’d say if you like them you may like Makari. I also really enjoyed the Trophy Eyes album this morning. Today is a good day already between these 2 releases.
