next in line to say this album fucking rules.
I just missed them play in London cos I was away. They're playing Supersonic in Birmingham in June it seems, but I can't see anyone is gonna put them on again in London then. That can't be right, surely.

agreed, this record is fantastic - had a really good listen this afternoon. friend was saying that live suffered from a lack of the album horns and strings (which obv wasn't a problem for the previous albums).

Saw them live and finally bought the vinyl
This is so amazing sounding

Okay, this live album with Peter Brotzmann is phenomenal.

As a big Oxbow & Brotz fan I am amazed that it is even better than I expected (now if only the physical copies would ship...)

(now if only the physical copies would ship...)
I've emailed the label twice and gotten no response. I'm getting cranky.

Huh, I ordered the CD along with a few other albums through the Trost bandcamp on October 31st and got it about a week or so ago.

Yeah, I didn't order it from Trost, unfortunately — they said Sleeping Giant Glossolalia was putting out a US CD version, so I ordered that one.

Long story short I finally got my lp copy last night and it sounds great, still kind of can't believe it exists

"Love's Holiday" out in July https://oxbowofficial.bandcamp.com/album/loves-holiday-out-7-21-23

New single out today, "Icy White & Crystalline." Sounds like a forgotten DGC band from the 90s. Love it.

Nice, super excited for this.
As a side note, I went to go pre-order this from Ipecac's bandcamp page and thought I'd also grab that Dave Lombardo album. It's sold out on every format already, LP, CD, everything. It came out May 5th - that seems insanely fast. It appears I can get it from Amazon, so whatever, but I'd rather than money go to the label than Bezos. Anyway, I'm seeing that a lot more frequently lately that labels are selling out of things really quickly. The new Blood Ceremony being another example - just released on May 5th and every format (LP and CD) completely sold out on Rise Above's website. Are that many labels just doing miniscule runs these days? Just seems a bad look for a hyped new album to be completely sold out from the source less that two weeks post release.
I guess just a good reminder to make sure you snag something the instant you see a pre-order pop up.

This happens a lot! It’s frustrating.

you gotta preorder before the band even forms

It is super frustrating. I get things like the exclusive, limited vinyl colors getting snatched up right away, but I'm seeing it way too often for literally every physical format. Oh you wanted a copy of that album that came out last week? Too late, you missed it!
I can only imagine how frustrating it has to be for a band...

had a great first listen to Love’s Holiday just now, after prepping by going back through their albums this week (v rewarding). Dead Ahead is a great opener/single, and it’s an amusing approach how after the first two tracks they move p much exclusively into their slow, stygian power mode. i like the continuing move into melodic ballad trappings, even if a couple of times i had a fleeting sense of more recent nick cave (not a fan). but choral and keyboard set off the muscular torment and pent-up force. it *sounds* great. the group are in v good form and looking forward to seeing them in september.

I love the new album, it is Numinous and Forbidding in all the best ways
― imago, Saturday, 22 July 2023 10:33 (ten months ago) link
yep agreed.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 22 July 2023 10:34 (ten months ago) link
also the track titles are some of the best I've seen in a while. how has no band begun an album with 'Dead Ahead' before
― imago, Saturday, 22 July 2023 10:35 (ten months ago) link
thankfully the song does that title justice

as a means of saying sorry to Fizzles I am getting into their earlier stuff
King Of The Jews is fantastic. Angel is one of the great rock songs maybe

Eugene pls log back into ILX btw, that was fun

King of the Jews is I think my favourite.

you know when they describe a modern album as fire and brimstone because it's kind of noisy, yet kind of trad, and kind of fearsome? yeah well those albums aren't fire and brimstone, this is
