Found a lot of great music from the rolling 2015 thread, so let's start up this year's. Same thing I said last year applies:
"I don't care how you define "indie rock/pop/edm/r&b,ect' with regards to this thread; but if the music you want to discuss is more likely to fit in any other Rolling 2015 threads, maybe keep it in there? I personally don't care, but I'm hoping to discuss/find new bands to check out from others' findings. And I assume that anyone else who bookmarks this thread is hoping to do the same."
It's been a bit of a slow start for me so far. The only album I heard so far that I really enjoyed wasn't technically an album, the Majical Cloudz' EP, Wait & See. Not a huge fan of this band, at least from what I've heard up to this EP, but W&S is fantastic. It just seems like the songs, sonically-speaking, are more fully formed than their previous albums. I always found their songs to be too meandering in the past, but not with this EP.
Anyway, what are you all listening to?

new Nap Eyes album is pretty good.
old/new Dr. Dog album is pretty good.
agree, though, generally a slow-ish start to the year.

Last year I went bonkers for Richmond-based singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus's I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore. Her album is out later this month and it's really great - plainspoken, nice low end, fuzz in all the right places. Here's the second single.

i'm afraid people won't give the nap eyes album a fair (alaskan) shake because it's music on sedatives / somewhat of a risk to stay away from up-tempo rockers that woulda grabbed us by the ears and shaken us around a bit, given us a real thrill, but forget those impatient brain-dead outrageously shallow Gen Z freakazoids !
instead Nap Eyes mellowed out and became contemplative fireside stoned hermit enigmas --- these lyrics are BEYOND ,, just beyond man ,, something to behold and cherish and dig into ... instead of getting dominated by a huge riff, we get all cut up by sharp lyrics from an introverted brainiac. brad loughead on lead gtr sure adds to the cause ! excellent musicianship all around, just a dream band
a classic to my ears !

Sorry, totally missed this. I tried a Smith Westerns album (Die It Blonde), and while it has a couple of moments, I wasn't a big fan...it just seemed too absent and not very distinct. Since that band's split, two other members went off and formed Whitney, who imo don't possess the same flavour for layering and chord sequences that make Cullen interesting on his own.

Also, here's my 4th of July jam, to barbecue some fireworks & frie some freedoms: Hit Reset, by The Julie Ruin. Despite the title, it doesn't seem like retro; for one thing, the lines flying by seem like fine fresh fragments of a life being lived, different points and segments of the timeline still felt and in focus---refocus, reset---although there might also be some well-chosen presets on that vintage keyboard. Haven't got quite gotten into the first three tracks yet, compared to all the others' jamming hooks, which make me want to go back to college, ca. '79---8x, jam a chair against the door, and play this album about four times in a row, schooling the U. Not that it would take four spins to do that, because we also have here some early (lessee, K. Hanna's 47 now---) or at least definite assimilation of primetime BlondieCarsB-52sBanglesGo-Gos along the way:http://www.npr.org/2016/06/30/480605934/first-listen-the-julie-ruin-hit-reset

Allo Darlin'
Dear all,
After eight years of playing, laughing, driving, dancing, singing and generally having the time of our lives, we are calling it a day. We will be playing our last show at the Scala in London, December 11th 2016. (http://www.wegottickets.com/event/375604)
Wait, don’t be sad! Although we are generally a reflective and nostalgic bunch, this is not an overwhelmingly sad decision or twist of fate for us. Most bands have to stop actively recording and playing shows at some point, especially those like us who don’t have this as our day job.
As some of you may know, we now live in two different countries, and these days have enough children to at least field a five-a-side football team. Many years ago we took the decision that our friendship was more important to us than our ”career ”as a band. This meant that we didn’t tour relentlessly and didn’t let the music business get in the way of what brought us together in the first place: the joy of music and the thrill of playing with people you were lucky enough to call your friends.
It is hard to find the words to describe exactly how much fun it has been to be in Allo Darlin’, and what a privilege it has been to make records and play shows from Brisbane to Bern, Boston to Bristol. We feel extremely fortunate that we came along at a time where it was possible for a DIY bunch like us to make records and play shows without an enormous advertising budget or a proven business plan. We were incredibly lucky that the Field of Dreams approach seemed to work, but not without the help of some wonderful people, most of all Sean from Fortuna POP!, and in later years Mike from Slumberland. We had so much wonderful support from others in the indiepop community, like John Jervis from WIAWYA, Tom from Fika, Camilla from Weepop, Indietracks, and New York Popfest to mention but a few of the many.
Lots of people help to get records out and heard and they don’t always get recognition, so we’d like to thank Lucy Hurst and Daniel Gill for working so hard for getting press coverage for us, and Olli Dutton for helping us get on the radio in the UK. Other people we’d like to thank are Craig at Cargo, Jim and Nicole at Ground Control, and Joe at Angular Publishing. We would especially like to thank our soundman Al Harle, who taught us how to be a bit more pro when we were touring and generously gave his time when he could have been paid a lot more money by somebody more successful. We’re sorry we never got to be big Al! We’d also like to thank Simon Trought and Giles Barrett, who were always so helpful and fun to record with, and helped us find our sound.
Of course, none of this would have happened without the support and love from you guys, the audience, who came to our shows and bought our records, gave us your floors to sleep on and helped to set up shows. Your generosity and feedback was always inspiring and appreciated! Please keep on supporting the bands you love, telling them they played a good show and buying their records. You will probably never know how much this means to them.
We hope to see as many of you as possible at the Scala, and thank you so much for giving us the time of our lives.
Elizabeth, Bill, Paul and Mike

I thought bout giving Slow Club their own thread (they're certainly deserving) but figured they're a better fit here. One Day All Of This Won't Matter has really grown on me - their least immediate album, but on balance maybe their strongest? The '70s-rock lilt is a more natural fit than the overt soul influences of the last album, and the relative lack of belting is refreshing (though Rebecca Taylor does have a pleasantly amateurish belt). Also, it has one of my favorite openers of the year:

Yeah
re xpost Allo Darlin', had trouble w the album, but some of it was very fine, and here's hoping for more from Elixabeth Morris---my P&J ballot comments last year:
From a land down under, also from late ‘14, Allo Darlin’ ‘s We Come From The Same Place brings us the fetching (come hither, in a sunny way, unintimidating even to geek me) voice of Elizabeth Morris, with pleasingly creative turns in her accent and songs that don’t get in her way, yet demo-bare tracks that kinda do, in terms of distracting inertia, while others put ribbons on the slack---but when the whole band gets it together, pretty nice indeed.Still, any Oz rock Svengali might well consider putting Morris in a whole new musical setting yadda-yadda, anyway it's worth checking out.
― dow, Thursday, 6 October 2016 21:27 (seven years ago) link
There's something very delicate and unassuming about the Ultimate Painting album that doesnt remind me of Pavement / Built to Spill / The Microphones / Neutral Milk Hotel at all tbh

I wasn't saying Ultimate Painting reminds me of those bands, I was saying the new LVL UP album does ... a lot.

Absolutely loving the album "Plaza" by Quilt. Male-female vox, great melodies, lightly psychedelic indie pop that doesn't feel in the least disposable.

I became quite enamored with this year's 2 eps by Aussie band Babaganouj today, but particularly the song Would You Like Me.

Crying album has its own thread: crying: beyond the fleeting galesI've been listening to it obsessively.

Belatedly got around to listening to the Emma Pollock album, In Search of Harperfield; went into it more out of a sense of duty than anything, but as it turns out it's really good.
https://open.spotify.com/album/1cBJGe2GEkGlFb4NbKLHJ4 - highlights: "Cannot Keep A Secret", "Alabaster", "Vacant Stare" and "Old Ghosts".

even though their name sounds like a generic craft brew, I'm all about this Alpha Hopper album: https://alphahopper.bandcamp.com/ shredded female vocals, weird angular guitars, but still hooks

for those willing to hear more, 'lucifer inverted' and 'rainbow death revisited' are stunning

Listening to this album for the first time this morning and really enjoying it. Like late 90s Courtney Love or Liz Phair.
