Ryan from Holy Fawn put out a solo record under the name Sownbones today. Past releases under this name have been mostly instrumental and scratch a very Sigur Ros or late Moving Mountains itch. Lots of acoustic guitar, bells, stuff like that. This will probably be similar

New singles from Loathe, A Wilhelm Scream, and Vein.fm are a hell of a way to start the year too

 

The new Static Dress single is great!


Like to add that the new Weeknd album is amazing. The Jim Carrey interludes are just gold!

Dawn FM is crazy good.

 

Thanks Zach, you are a legend.

 

New vein single yesss

 

I wish Yard Act was already out this week...

 

My band has a new single out today!

 

Dawn FM is such a great way to start the year

 

Enjoyed the very early releases from Twin Atlantic, but their poppier evolution didn't work for me as well as Biffy Clyro's has. But maybe I should still check it out and be open to a surprise.

 

The Weeknd record is the one I’ve been waiting for!!!! So so good.

 

right??

 

Was ready to listen to this album this morning and apparently it got pushed to next week?



Edit: Had to check to make sure I wasn't crazy: here they say January 7th and a month later they say January 14th

 

Very confusing/annoying. Sorry about that. I've updated my list accordingly.

 

Loving The Weeknd, but I'm also really digging Twin Atlantic.

 

What I wouldn't give for an Apple Music version. Thank you so much for what you do.

 

Late to the party, but on my radar to check out for this week is:

Asleep At The Helm: Keepsake
AVIIRA: Avalanche
Infected Rain: Ecdysis
Love Like Gravity: Break The Silence
Spector: Now Or Whenever
Thy Witness: Of Founders And Fragments
Twin Atlantic: Transparency

 

Thank you, glad you like it. If Apple Music had a free basic plan like Spotify does then I'd certainly consider it.

 

Well, it's good, but probably only after you listen to it a few times thinking what the fuck is this, and then eventually if you stop comparing it to Free or Vivarium, it's quite good! My only problem on the first listen was the repetitive drumbeats, but they had a great drummer up until this very release, maybe that's actually on purpose. Still a fun listen!

 

I did give it a listen in the car on the weekend and had a similar reaction to that. I'm cool with a mellow opener or even some ambient, electro-tinged songs, but I kept waiting for the tempo to pick up, but instead the first few songs felt really similar.
