2016 albums

I'd be more interested if he had used The Promise of the Real as the backing band tbh

(checks spreadsheet to see if ringo put out a new album this year...) Nope, last place on my list is still available!

"My new robot" had better be a love song to daryl hannah.

Apparently it's about the purchase of uncle Paulie's robot

TERRORIST SUICIDE HANG GLIDERS

Loving the NxWorries record 'Yes Lawd!', it's a collaboration record from Knowledge and Anderson Paak. It's out on Stones Throw, obvious comparison, but pretty much every review has also noted how it sits perfectly on the label, very much in the same 'spirit' of Madvillain & JayLib style collaborations. The beats are very Madlib, Knowledge must be a big fan, the whole record has a sort of collage feel too it, very soulful. Anderson Paak is more of a crooner than a rapper, I liked his Malibu record from earlier in the year, but this feels like a more cohesive effort and both of them seem to feed off each other. Well worth a listen.


Also been giving this a lot of time over the last couple of months. They're called Happy Diving and the record is called Electric Soul Unity:


It's breaking no boundaries, they sit somewhere between Dinosaur Jr and Weezer, very 'Alt-Rock', but I really enjoy the record. It's got thick, sludgy, loud guitars with loads of feedback, some punchier and punkier songs along with some slower dirgy ones. 10 songs, 30 minutes in and out.

New A Tribe Called Quest album confirmed for release in a couple of weeks. We're getting some big hitters dropping late in the year this time out. Inconsiderate cunts. If I had my way no one would be allowed to release an album after September to ensure our end of year lists were completely accurate.

her last one is well worth a listen too Karl.

Not heard the new'un. She also writes poetry and has written a novel, which follows the characters from the first album. She's a clever young thing.

just been listening to the new kate tempest, it's really good. she has such talent at structuring words.

found out we have a mutual friend too, blatantly going to try and meet so i can mumble incoherently at her

The new Kate Tempest album is genuinely excellent. She's some talent. A great story teller. Shits on anything Mike Skinner did from a great height.

Tunnel Vision is SUCH a good track.

New BJM sounds pretty decent.

Will have to check Kate Tempest out.

Been getting really into the Kevin Morby album over the weekend. I liked it when it came out but it's really clicked for me the last few days.

Liking the new Honeyblood from the first couple of listens.

The new A Tribe Called Quest album will be running everything close for album of the year.

JP, saw you rated the new Wave Pictures record. Where did you get it?

It's on Spotify.

A Tribe Called Quest is great.

Yeah, I'm enjoying the A Tribe Called Quest record aswell, though I think it might be a touch too long, it loses focus a little bit for me, but that's only a small gripe.

On a good run right now. The new Jenny Hval is fucking great.
