SEASFIRE - WE WILL WAKE (EP) (2012)

Debut EP from melancholic, electronic indie band Seasfire. Influenced by Jeff Buckley, Echo & The Bunnymen and Burial and sound just like you would expect a band with electronic and downtempo influences from Bristol to sound like.

I like it though I don't think the "countrydelic" description is completely accurate. Chance Martin sings with a very deep baritone voice. There's definitely a funky edge to many of the songs which are helped by some soulful female background singers. But there's also a loner psych thing going on here both musically & lyrically. At times I'm reminded of the Southern swamp funk of Tony Joe White and at other times of the psychedelic Americana sounds of Green On Red or Giant Sand. It's not an album for everyone, and I wish it had been more funky throughout.

Hmmm. Sounds interesting, if odd. I'll give it a listen.

Anyway, currently on the last song of this album.

Honestly, what is there to say about this? It's just some very fast, fun old school thrash. It's from 1981, and sounds exactly like that time period in every way. It's not exactly something that you will want to write an essay on, but its job is to make you headbang, and it does its job very well.

BRETON - OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS (2012)
London math-rock, indie-electronica bands first full length record, after a handful of EPs and remixes, including a remix for Tricky. Pretty decent stuff.

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/lk/f...02/4600782.jpg

DAUGHTER - IF YOU LEAVE (2013)
Soft, gentle, dark folk & chamber pop band from Londons debut full length record getting a bit of exposure here from the British press and media. Currently on a tour of the US. I quite liked this. It's quite simple, maybe a little too simple and minimal at times, but nice, tender, poppy and at times dreamy melodies.

I picked this up recently after hearing a couple tracks and reading musicOHM's glowing review. You are spot on in your write-up. I'm also finding it addictive in a good earworm way!

2 Albums of Manu Militari

-Crime D'Honeur
-Voix De Fait

I have not listened to it alot for now but it seem interesting in some song in particular. I think it is Gangster Style Rap talking about a hard and criminal reality of a antisocial behavior lifestyle.

The language seem to be something like a regional ''broken'' french.

I love this album to death. Can anyone rec similar bands? It's a sound I've sort of found occasionally (Lanterns on the Lake's "Gracious Tide, Take Me Home" is quite similar), but I definitely am not satisfied with how little I have!

A good album full of exciting power pop anthems, tearjerkers and crossovers of those.

The Gap Band Magicians Holiday (1974)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/316Ywgi9UnL.jpg

Found this on vinyl today, reasonably priced. It's never been issued on cd. Their debut album after backing Leon Russell on his Stop All That Jazz album. A mix of soulful ballads and funky tracks. Nice to hear how they started out.

This isn't the recommend thread, but what's a band similar to this grungy modern hard rock?

Isbjørn 07-27-2013 12:53 AM

According to last.fm, Chelsea Light Moving, Hookworms, Dope Body and Male Bonding should all be similar to METZ.

I sadly cannot post any links yet,

But the last SINGLE I bought is
ACID BLACK CHERRY - GREED GREED GREED

Acid Black Cherry is a Japanese visual rock band. It's very popular in Japan.
The new single has a rock sound, good song! I've already saw the full video (one week ago it was viewable at youtube for 1 hour)

so if you want to know what it is, then please google.

single will be released next month 8/7
I can't wait!~

Really, really cool sort of ambient post-rock I found while searching around on bandcamp. I can't really find anything about the artist on the internet, except that this album was written while on a plane. The atmosphere of the songs definitely reflects that! The first two songs are incredibly gorgeous.

Check the bandcamp here

True Widow - Circumambulation (2013)
The follow-up to 2011's As High As the Highest Heavens and From the Center to the Circumference of the Earth. It's not a big departure from their previous album and doesn't offer much new, but that doesn't stop it from being an enjoyable album. Their sound does however benefit from better production and perhaps more refined songwriting and playing. For newcomers to the band their sound is a combination of hazy indie rock with a big stoner rock low-end. A lot of their songs have a doom vibe without being metal which I find makes them unique.

Ben Marwood - Back Down

Saw him open for Frank Turner and he was hilarious. He's also quite talented as this album shows. It is quirky, but there is some great songwriting here.

Jake Bellows - New Ocean
http://blog.omahype.com/cms/wp-conte...-new-ocean.jpg

Solo album from the lead singer of Neva Dinova, but I think he has a great solo career in front of him. Great voice, reminds me a bit of Will Sheff of Okkervil and I always like that.

This is just the tracklisting from 2 many DJ'S album As Heard on Soulwax Radio Part 2 and they really are revolutionary D.J's although it's not a floor filler sort of album it is still intriguing enough for extra listen and for a pound I am not complaining, and talking about not complaining for a pound I also got this:

The Growlers - Are You in or Out? (2009)
Nice Garage Rock album, I'm sensing this is the first listen of many. Sometimes the vocals remind me of Arctic Monkeys, and on the last track I'm reminded of Man Man. Very cool sound, a bit of surf involved too.


http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/60628da620a...f4/4835515.jpg

Disappears - Era (2013)
Only played this once so far, in the background while working. I found it surprisingly melodic at times. I thought their last album Pre Language was incredible so I'm hoping I'll enjoy this one as much.

Hey y'all, this is kind of a dumb question but I really want to know...can somebody teach me how to download torrents without ruining my computer? Like if there's any risk at all I can't do it. I've never had my own nice computer before and if I ruin it ill be screwed but I'm sick of listening to the same 10 or so albums that are on my phone.
