The new Car Seat Headrest is quite good. He's got a full band and a producer this time, much less DIY--and I think it worked. Sounds great.

I've really liked the songs I've heard recently (hadn't listened to him before), particularly "Vincent". Pretty interested to hear the album.

One I just heard this week that I really like is Seratones - Get Gone (the tracks "Don't Need It," "Headtrip," and "Chandelier" are standouts).

Agreed, especially the song "Don't Need It." Her vocals are pretty impressive.

Listening to that new u-ziq now. Have always liked his style and this is hitting the spot today.

Hey here's a random update

Teens of Style from last year was good---I like this one a little more.

Listened to a couple of songs from this album. Great stuff. Is it all instrumentals?

I wish that Gee Strings song was better, they have a good band name.

Hey PopTodd - that Flamingods isn't too bad, so thanks for posting that link. Did you listen to that Mbongwana Star that came out last year? You might dig it.

Need to hear
DJ Shadow

Favorite album so far this year for me.

Sorry for the late response, but yeah, I've never heard anything of theirs with vocals. Their previous album, Hidden Cities, is really good, too. I first heard them on a split with Lower Dens, and their track on that, "Bending to the Lash", is what piqued my interest. The newer version of that track on Interventions is longer and more fleshed out.

Faves David Bowie - Blackstar Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool Tacocat - Lost Time White Denim - Stiff case/lang/viers - s/t Need to hear Doomsquad PJ Harvey DJ Shadow Angel Olsen Kevin Morby Pinegrove Andy Shauf Nothing Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Pond Scum Should maybe give a listen based on wide acclaim Mitski Anohni Steve Gunn Ital Tek Roly Porter Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered. Should maybe listen because I liked their older albums, but they've bored me over the last couple of releases M. Ward Tortoise Animal Collective Jesu/Sun Kil Moon Heard once and enjoyed the passive listen Swans OV-ER RA-TED (clap clap clap) Sturgill Simpson Margo Price Ty Segall Not feeling Car Seat Headrest King Gizzard Black Mountain Good background music William Tyler Ray LaMontagne ft. My Morning Jacket Like if I'm in the right mood aka stoned Heron Oblivion Hey PopTodd - that Flamingods isn't too bad, so thanks for posting that link. Did you listen to that Mbongwana Star that came out last year? You might dig it.

discostu Wrote: Need to hear DJ Shadow It's worth a listen. The collab with Run The Jewels is cool and "The Sideshow" is just straight-up fun as fuck. There's some neat ideas throughout, but sometimes you need patience (like with "Depth Charge") and then there are other tracks where you are patient for something innovative or whatever and nothing ever materializes. I think the album falls under "Not nearly his best but even an average Shadow album is better than 90% of current DJ output."

I like Islands, Twin Peaks, and Pat Todd, which I already knew. But I also really like James Hunter 6 and Misty Miller, which I did not know. The Main Grains song reminds me sooo much of a Groovie Ghoulies song. I wish that Gee Strings song was better, they have a good band name.
