PieFacE Posted July 19 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19 (edited) New Soft Play album today. Have given it 1 listen so far which is no where near enough. The problem with it is, I feel like i've already listened to half the album a lot already. It was a weird choice of them to release 4 singles from the album before the album even released. Especially given the fact that the album is only 29m long. With the first single (Punk is Dead) coming out what....a year ago? All in all it seems good on first listen, very heavy. The standout track for me so far is "Everything and Nothing" but need to give it far more time. Edited July 19 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 21 Moderator Share Posted July 21 The CDing continues The Warlocks - Phoenix from 2003 when Garage Psych wasn't quite as fashionable as it is today. Not groundbreaking by any means but certainly helped influence the revival massively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belter I enjoyed these so much at Bearded Theory, there is talk about going to see them on their next tour, particularly as Panic Shack are the support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 26 Moderator Share Posted July 26 Laura J Martin - Prepared criminally underlooked album released a couple of months ago So ignored it’s still not even on Discogs Flute, Mandolin, Electronics, it’s folky, poppy and a lovely listen partly inspired by the 86 bus route in Liverpool By day she actually makes flutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 27 Moderator Share Posted July 27 Wand - Vertigo First album for 5 years (I think) Love this band, this is the third record of theirs I own and there’s no unifying sound between them but the singer sounds a bit like a Thom Yorke (Who?) It’s very much Alt Rock but they really should get more attention. I get Radiohead vibes but others always look at me blank when I say it. Not as complicated as Radiohead but still in that vein. Theres another thing that’s great about this, there is only one vinyl version and one CD. That’s it, no coloured vinyl no special editions nothing, here’s the album, on black wax, get on with listening to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 28 Moderator Share Posted July 28 My other purchase yesterday, more speculative but recommended by Bob Earth Tongue - Great Haunting On In The Red Records so that should give you an indication of the territory it’s in. It’s at the heavier end of the Ty Segall canon (he’s not involved). It self describes as a demonic deep dive into occult psychedelic rock. Earth Tongue are a two piece from New Zealand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I'd never heard of them but the similarities to his heavier material are quite clear. I'm liking it a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
