2023 Music

[JackOutback]

I can’t remember the last time a band I liked back in the day released a recent album that I’ve really enjoyed.
PJ Harvey and Everything But The Girl this year were disappointing, so was Cypress Hill and Placebo last year and Weezer released a couple of stinkers the year prior.
nostalgia is almost definitely distorting my expectations but still…

Foo Fighters' album this year is their best in a decade. I've remained a Pearl Jam fan throughout the years, their most recent album and Eddie Vedder's solo album last year were both very good. Can't think of too many more.

I had high hopes for the Slowdive album because I really liked the album they released in 2017.

Have enjoyed the new Gretta Ray album.

Can’t think of anything else I’ve absolutely loved this year though

The Stones have a new album, Hackney Diamonds due for release on October 20. The first for 18 years with new songs and features
Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder as well as Charlie Watts on two tracks.
This is the first released track "Angry" (with Sydney Sweeny). Great clip and sounds real good.

Very cool clip and I thought the song was decent.

New surprise album from The National dropped. Enjoying it more than their earlier one.

Have listened to it twice. Couple that with the tour announcement and it's been a good week.

That said, not sure how it compares to the first; I quite enjoyed that one and reckon there's some bangers in there.

Yeah, I still enjoy the first and think it's great. I reckon they could have combined the two and made one fantastic album though.

Can't wait for the tour though. Was so upset when they canceled due to COVID especially as Phoebe Bridgers was supporting too.

I had tickets to that

Ah well, location for this one is probably better.

I can't even remember where it was supposed to be but Kings Park will be great. Spoon and War on Drugs will be awesome there too.

Was set for Freo Arts Centre, which is a fine venue, but think Kings Park will be better, though it's been ages since I've been there for a gig.

Ah that’s right. I did see Sharon Van Etten there last year and it was good but was more of a sit down gig amongst the trees

some stuff i've been enjoying

Doctor Bionic - Sacrifice
organic hip-hop instrumentals with an acid jazz vibe.




Yazmin Lacey - Voice Notes
just some sweet soulful tunes




Mildlife - Return To Centaurus
pretty much what you'd expect with some bizarre spoken word centaur pr0n thrown in for good measure

not only is this guy an incredibly talented musician and performer he also makes these amazing one take videos...although there is a cut in this one cause they had to move the mic from his lapel so it didn't get wet and you don't hear the rain hitting it.
there's a behind the scenes/making of video coming out soon which should be interesting.

From all this thread Ren was the only one who caught my attention. 'Hi Ren' is an amazing song and video.

These girls are terrific. If they manage to get here I will be going!

Seen Phoebe and Julien in their own shows and both phenomenal. Love boygenius too.

New Zeus!

Been enjoying this weekly singles rollout from Laroi. Too Much, What Just Happened and Bleed all show he hasn’t lost his touch despite those delays, whets the appetite for next Friday (if into this sort of thing, I’ve always had a big soft spot)

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

I'm surprised this wasn't here already.

 

[PoopingHindi]

I don’t listen to a lot of electronic music but every once in a while I come across an album that I fall in love with.
Fragments from Bonobo in early ‘22 was probably the last one.

The latest one is When Will We Land? by Barry Can’t Swim.
