Love the band name and the music is pretty rad. But is there something controversial with this band? I'm curious why this post has a handful of downvotes

They have a song exploder episode on the song Cattails. Also Adrianne Lenker's solo stuff is worth giving a listen

Don't apologize! I'd like to help out and keep this community going so I'm happy to do this. But I think I'll hold off until Tuesday to post. So basically just skip this week and start it up again next week. Did you have any albums in mind for the next one? If not I'll pick something that is "essential alternative"

Oh I didn't hear about that. Hopefully he's okay

Here is the 4th album from London band Vanishing Twin. I would describe them as dreamy and psychedelic. Maybe Stereolab is a good comparison. Check them out if that interests you! And I recommend their 3 previous albums too if you like this.

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing. It looks like this is from their 2023 album Noisserped. I'll be giving that a listen soon

Singer-songwriter Sufjan is my favorite Sufjan

This whole album is really cool. Vocals remind me a bit of IDLES

Hey ren@lemmy.world are we doing an album club post this week? You do a lot for this community so I wouldn't mind taking this over moving forward if you'd like. I'd hate to see it die already

Sleater-Kinney feat. Fred Armisen - Rock Lobster (Live Cover of B-52's Song) in c/alternativenation@lemmy.world

I know a lot of people find this song annoying but I like it. Glad you like it too!

I'm digging the new Sleater-Kinney song and I was reminded of this video. Fred Armisen joins them on stage to perform Rock Lobster!

[Fresh Album] Eartheater - Powders (songwhip.com)

Honestly I haven't been a fan of Eartheater's brand of experimental pop in the past. However with Powders she has taken a more subdued approach to create what is essentially a trip hop album. It has a really interesting and unexpected cover of Chop Suey halfway through the album too. And if you like this it is apparently a sister album to her upcoming 2024 album Aftermath. I'll be looking forward to that.

The new Animal Collective album in the morning made me want to check out some related videos. I ended up on this video for Go On from Panda Bear and Sonic Boom's 2022 collaboration. It is an absolute trip!

Released last Friday. Here's the 4th album from UK punk duo JOHN (TIMESTWO) made up of, you guessed it, two guys named John. Really cool collection of songs with propulsive and energetic guitar and drums and vocals that remind me a little bit of IDLES. Enjoy!

Loraine James is a British experimental electronic producer. I'm really enjoying this album from her so far. I hear some really interesting combinations of r&b, downtempo, glitch, and maybe some emo. Check it out if that at all interests you!

I'm really enjoying this indie record from Vancouver's Haley Blais. It's full of emotional lyrics and dynamic instrumentation with elements of folk, rock, and pop. Released last Friday but I don't think it was posted yet. Enjoy!

Anyone else see them at their homecoming festival last night? They put on a great show so I wanted to post an older track of theirs which they performed last night.
