    What a zany guy this Alien Sugar is.
  2. Poimandres
    I agree it's a more cohesive album. Could definitely go for an EP or another album. We need Just Eyes and Mouth at least... I really think that's one of their best tracks.

    I gave it a bit of a break after the first week odd, but lately I've been in a contemplative mood so this has been hitting the spot. Still don't think it really comes close to the first album. That just has too many good/great tracks.
  4. Poimandres
    Pretty good on first listen. Looking forward to giving it many more plays.

    I'm gonna try and hold out, it's only a few days away. How's the leak quality? If it's good it might be hard to resist...

    I would say that Decks Dark, Present Tense, Thin Thing and Skrting on the Surface all had top tier vocal melodies at least. But, maybe that's just me.

    Details have leaked about a new The Smile album "Wall of Eyes". Very keen for this, the first album was great and Bending Hectic is a great track.

    The album is out! Very solid on first listen. Not as raw as Of Matter and Spirit which will likely remain my favourite, but quality all the way through and well polished. I think I will prefer this to DNA Feelings.

    Yes! Aisha Devi is amazing and I've also been waiting for this. If you get a chance, go see her live.

    For sure nobody owes us anything. But it's just interesting how some artists can maintain seemingly infinite patience and reverence, but others fall by the wayside quickly. Where I've reached now I'm interested, but not really holding much in the way of expectations with new Burial music.

    It's a bit of a piss take to only release EPs or singles since then though. The first couple were solid sure, but since then it's honestly been pretty naff stuff for... 10+ years? Come on.

    Thanks for the tip. Idles had completely slipped past me, but I've been listening to their albums and yeah I quite enjoy them all. Not subtle sure but plenty of energy and good riffs. I can dig it.

    Sick game with an A+ soundtrack.

    Black Midi and Squid are pretty decent. I was a bit disappointed by Black Midi live earlier this year though. The singer is the weak link. King Krule is good if they count? Maybe? Arctic Monkeys are honestly pretty solid as well. Especially Tranquillity Base which is full of hilarious lyrics. We are of course far from the 90's heyday. The Smile was one of the best albums of 2022 for my money.

    Ehhh first listen and it's a bit patchy for me so far. I quite enjoyed the first album. This has some okay stuff, but seems a bit meandering in places. Will see maybe it will grow on me.

    That's the original release it look like. I already own the original on CD. Am I going to need to buy this new CD, then use my dads computer to rip myself some digitals because I don't even own a CD player anymore lol
  17. Poimandres
    CD and vinyl only? Come on, I only want the digitals.

    New Katie Gately album is out on Houndstooth. Frankly, it's brilliant. Maximalist production with top tier sound design, baroque elements, heavy electronics, heady lyrics and plenty to unpack.
  19. Poimandres
    I loveeee Tales of Ephidrena. Prob my favourite FSOL adjacent release but I admittedly need to dig deeper. But for some reason this album got near constant play with my family and friends... it's a total classic, pretty under the radar for most.
  20. Poimandres
    Few more listens, album is quite good. Kandy, Carbon Dioxide, North, Tapping Fingers, Bottom of the Ocean are my highlights. There are elements I like in every track, and no tracks I dislike (I'd skip a few on the last album).
  21. Poimandres
    Ayeee a harsh review, but an honest one. Definitely doesn't measure up to the first album, but nothing here is as cringe as the bad moments on Plunge. But, yeah seems like the singles might be the best tracks which is unfortunate. See how I feel after a few listens.
  22. Poimandres
    Alright this is getting close. All 3 tracks released so far are good so I have high hopes.
  23. Poimandres
    The first of the albums is out, and sounds good from the preview tracks! https://roelfuncken.bandcamp.com/album/vespertine

    Mings Feaner is one of the very best things Roel has ever done. Such a rich alien mood, and filled with great tracks. I wasn't as impressed by the other albums. Very keen for these. The tracks I've heard from Roel sets have been very nice!
  25. Poimandres
    The march release especially sucks because the previous album was basically announced and released immediately after. I hate long teased album releases. Just give it to us already!
