I like what I've heard from Anna Meredith's Varmints.

Finally checking out the new Cult of Luna release. Really enjoying my first spin. I thought I might be burned out on their sound, but they've still got it and I actually enjoy the Julie Christmas guest vocals even if I don't like her separately.

Deftones was on constant rotation this weekend. "(L)MIRL" is one of my favorite tracks this year.

Wow. The Cult of Luna album closer "Cygnus" is one of my favorite songs from them in a very long time. Perfect use of the female vocals.

Liking this a lot more than I thought I would after hearing Brace for Impact on its own.

Also enjoyed Eric Bachmann's new album.

I need to check out that Eric Bachmann. It was on deck but then I got hung up on the Cult of Luna record and ended up moving to Bob Mould's new effort afterward (which was pretty much as you'd expect but still a pretty fun listen)

4/11/2016 10:47:02 PM

In the best way possible, Bob Mould made a new Bob Mould record.

4/12/2016 7:58:14 PM

Loving the new Hayes Carll album.

4/12/2016 11:18:06 PM

^^ yep.

Finally checked out the new Deakin last night. At first I just moderately liked it. But, the more I listened, it really grew. Such a relaxing record.

4/15/2016 10:35:44 AM

I like the new m83 come and get me haters

4/15/2016 11:56:54 AM

ill give it another shot. My first listen was pretty flat. I did skip their show last Friday (sold my tickets) but I mainly regretted not seeing Yacht.

4/15/2016 12:13:47 PM

I think it's like the new animal collective in that it's certainly not the best thing he's ever done, but it's fun and there's plenty of cool stuff on it and it's been unfairly derided by a lot of people

4/15/2016 12:18:28 PM

that's fair. I'll give it another shake. My backlog has just been so big, I haven't hung around on something that didn't interest me a lot.

4/15/2016 12:19:54 PM

I hear that. I'm kinda stoked to see some of these songs live when I see m83 with tame impala in June. Still can't believe that's happening

4/15/2016 3:19:31 PM

Digging the new Sturgill Simpson record. Call To Arms is my early favorite.

4/16/2016 12:02:29 AM

PJ Harvey rules.

4/17/2016 3:20:38 AM

Music of 1986 - never thought I'd see the day where axl rose is fronting AC/DC

4/17/2016 7:17:12 AM

pitchfork's review of the new Primitive Weapons album reminded me to check it out. Summary: It's really good.

4/22/2016 10:03:06 AM

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I honestly enjoyed the new Blink-182 track with Matt Skiba on guitar. Haven't said that since middle school maybe? I mean it's still super predictable but I'm not going to deny it got stuck in my head immediately.

4/28/2016 10:44:11 AM

^I really enjoyed it.

4/28/2016 11:14:19 AM

it definitely surprised me. Gave it a few more listens this morning.

The last several days I returned to Weezer quite a bit. It honestly gets better with each listen. It's one of the catchiest albums of the year so far.

Other albums that have had my attention:

Dalek - Asphalt for Eden
-Pretty interesting hip-hop. Some of the music has some ambient and shoegaze elements. I really liked it on first listen and it seems like it could be a strong grower.

Returned to the Deakin album several times.

Been enjoying the Aesop Rock album via stream. Will check it out more Friday. Also super stoked for the new Snarky Puppy being released on Friday. Loving the first track that was released and I'm excited to see them for the first time in a few weeks.

The released track is super enjoyable. I wonder if Chino will do vocals here on other tracks or what? This song reminded me of like de-loused era TMV mixed with deftones.

This shit is unreal. Comes out 2morrow. I recommend track 3 and 6 for your grinding pleasure

4/28/2016 3:06:26 PM

^ About to check out.

EDIT: Really enjoyed track 3. Going to continue on with the album for a bit.

4/28/2016 3:08:45 PM

i think this is the strongest new music friday for me so far this year with ^, Haken, Snarky Puppy, Pity Sex, and Aesop Rock..

This Haken album is absolutely on point. It's rare that I nerd out over prog like this these days but, wow.

4/29/2016 9:37:21 AM

Aesop Rock put out a new record? I'll have to check that out. It's been a while since Skelethon.

4/29/2016 9:50:41 AM

yep. It's at least as good as that imo. Streamed his youtube preview of it a few times earlier this week.

Can't stop listening to the Haken album today though

Also hecka tite. If I liked Deafheaven they would probably sound like this. This album sounds like slow motion ocean tides in twilight.

The Aesop Rock album has been growing on me a lot.

5/3/2016 10:27:49 AM

2.4 million youtube listens alone in 12 hours.

5/4/2016 12:19:45 AM

can't stop listening to that "Love as a Weapon" jam by Little Scream

looking forward to getting the album tomorrow

5/5/2016 11:09:38 PM

her last album was fantastic

haven't listened to this one yet but that single is great

5/6/2016 1:44:23 AM

^added to my list of stuff to check out today.

Currently obsessed with the new Death Grips album that dropped today. Spikes -> Warping -> Eh

5/6/2016 9:06:06 AM

Vektor's - Terminal Redux might be my favorite metal album of the year so far.

5/8/2016 1:03:06 AM

total fanboy here, but the new wolf parade EP makes me happy. can't wait for hopscotch.

5/18/2016 7:25:48 PM

Rage Against the Machine reunion tour?

5/18/2016 8:28:22 PM

Can't wait to see 50 year olds play the classic rock jams of the 90s. What does that have to do with this thread?

5/19/2016 10:58:43 AM

New Nothing album is pretty good, Modern Baseball is decent, and Kvelertak is very enjoyable on my first listen.

5/19/2016 11:02:36 AM

Actually they're starting a group with Public Enemy and Cypress Hill called Prophets of Rage. Interested to see what they turn out. No Zack De La Rocha though.

I'm confused as to how it isn't Music of 2016? Its music. Its 2016.

5/19/2016 1:31:20 PM

Car Seat Headrest kind of day.

Need to check out the Hotelier and Pup streams later too.
