New and Noteworthy Additions to US Spotify

w/e 18th March. An avalanche of new things made it onto UK Spotify this week. Haven't finished wading through all the contenders yet, but…

Top of your listening list ought to be the welcome return of Larry Heard in the guise of Mr. Fingers, with his Outer Acid EP.

The Apple Tree by Hintermass is the latest release on Ghost Box records. A collaboration between Jon Brooks (The Advisory Circle) and Tim Felton (Seeland, Broadcast), this is a fine psych-folk meets radiophonics record though I tend to prefer the instrumental tracks.

I love that Shura did this little experiment and released it ahead of the album.

Another week, another appallingly spelled album preview by Zayn. This is getting the thumbs down elsewhere on ILM, but give me this over the last 1D record any time.

Speaking of warm-ups, The Pet Shop Boys trail their new LP with this EP. "In Bits" is the keeper, as Neil sounds more evil than droll for once.

There are two new tracks entitled "Run" this week, one by Tourist and one by Eliza Shaddad, as if we didn't already have enough. Both are pretty good though.

Modular, Argentina's leading Stereolab imitators, have added classic 70s disco flavours to the mix on their new album, Fuga Al Paraíso. Otherwise, this is business as usual, uneven but the best bits certainly hit the spot.

Finally, have some great a cappella renditions of Beyoncé, Frank Ocean and, especially Regina Spektor on the new EP by Semi-Toned. Their already legendary take on "If I Were A Rich Man" is on there too.

New Particles, 2016-03-25 has new songs by June 1974, Therion, Amon Amarth, Cobalt, Dive In, Caliban, Ex-Otago, Silvana Imam, The Sun Days, Navet, Julie Christmas, Ylvis, Luis Fonsi, Mogwai, Clairity, Grimner, BRIDEAR, Bob Mould, Dominanz, Sara, Miss Montreal, The Gospel Youth, Astrid S, Weval, Jillian Jacqueline, HANA, Rotten Sound and Simone. The Ylvis song, in particular, is a throwback to Ylvis' most successful gimmick. As, in a sense, is the Bob Mould song.

But where is the Joy Formidable?

Yeah, not sure what the issue is with that. Definitely not yet available on Spotify anywhere. I sent some internal email...

k. michelle album is finally up:
https://open.spotify.com/album/307Vo39bAFM833KEs9Op54

You shouldn't be listening to anything else really.

Ambience! Grime! Hyperpop!

New Particles, 2016-04-01 has new songs by: Ohlayindigo, Follin, Chiral, White Lung, Salt Cathedral, Katatonia, Doro, Tacocat, The Chap, Dark Funeral, Schammasch, Broods, Frightened Rabbit, Lera Lynn, Kangding Ray, Hammock, Tim Hecker, Tombs, Bossk, Graves at Sea, 韋禮安, I Am King, Sløtface, BABYMETAL, The Field, Simonetta Spiri, Marta Sui Tubi, David DeMaría, Liima, Nemesea, Chase & Status, Meridian Dan, Mr Traumatik, PANTyRAiD, Marit Larsen, Sweden, Thomas Dybdahl, Raindear, Erik Ekholm, Keith Urban, Martina McBride, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Interment, Mourn, Seratones, The Summer Set, Black Honey, LUH, Horse Party, ASP, Nachtmahr, The Algorithm, Fallujah, Merely, Terra , Vessels, Asylums, Boys Republic, Lucianblomkamp, Ribongia, Erio, COH, Teksti-TV 666, GFOTY, RABBII, Ola Gjeilo, Sixx:A.M., Wildlife Control, La Habitación Roja, Novembre and the mighty Moonsorrow. Phew.

w/e 1st April. After a quiet week in the run up to Easter, enough new things to close a landfill site this week, which TBH is where most of it belongs. Biggest news of April Fools Day was that TLOP finally made it to Spotify, though reportedly it's a "Work In Progress" now. Tweet me when you've finished it, Kanye.

Much anticipated by me and doesn't disappoint album of the week: a gift of EARS for your ears. A dedicated thread for Kaitlyn has now been started for you to add to the hyperbole.

Surprise half-an-album of the week: Brian Eno releases Side 1 of his Titanic-inspired new record, The Ship. Side 2 sounds even more intriguing, and includes a Velvet Underground cover.

I'm still working my way through the new LP by post-rockers Explosions In The Sky, but liking it a lot so far. Full of unexpected twists - and bonus points for recognising that drums can bring the noise better than guitars sometimes.

Marit Larsen has described her new EP, Joni Was Right as folk music. Well, it has a banjo on it. 'Acoustic' would have done, Marit. But this is her strongest collection of songs in years, every track hits the spot for me.

Tracks
A second taster from Neko, k.d. and Laura's collaborative project emerged this week, much popper than the first.
Thom Yorke manages not to ruin Mark Pritchard's Beautiful People. Like the Eno, this is from a new record on Warp, but would sound just as at home on Ghost Box, I think. Good that he's still using the vintage drum boxes too (another Eno connection there)…
…but in an otherwise grey or beige week, it was Cassius, joining forces with Cat Power of all people, that finally managed to put a smile on my face, with Action.

So, at some point -- how I know not -- my old band was added to Spotify. I still think this record is pretty good tbh (alt-countryish):

https://open.spotify.com/artist/4pwvXe2xVKojhsAcDwdlXS

Anthology 1, 2 and 3 by Beatles Band just added.

Just to help you with the everynoise sorting hat page, Glenn, Basmo Fam - Alene hjemme should sort under "Norwegian hip hop" There's one track on it by ATL r&b artist K-Major though so when that one drops as a single it should probably sort under r&b.

New Particles, 2016-04-08 has a new Roxette song and new albums by The Joy Formidable and Frightened Rabbit. Oh, and DJ Rashad, Tim Hecker, Ihsahn, Lacuna Coil, Julianna Barwick, Plaitum, Era Istrefi, Nocaden, Suuns, Yumi Zouma, Chelsea Lankes, Sizzy Rocket, A.O.S.O.O.N, Moving Units, Digitalism, September Girls, Kidsmoke, Kate Jackson, Cult Of Luna, Ovum, Sweden, Susanna, Ted Poley, Seratones, Erik Ekholm, Petri Alanko, Martina McBride, Jason Blaine, Tiny Moving Parts, Two O'clock Courage, Happoradio, Irina, Only Shadows, Draper, Summer Was Fun, Fenrir, Silhouette from the Skylit, Laakso, Flotsam & Jetsam, Max Giesinger, AS IT IS, Kontra K, Tegan and Sara, Jeroen Van Der Boom, Fantasia, NateWantsToBattle, Lost Tapes and Shiraz Lane!

My picks for w/e 8 April delayed as I can't stop listening to the LP by The Comet Is Coming on The Leaf Label that came out the week before. Dubby psychedelic space jazz ahoy!

But do check out the comeback album by All Saints - it's far better than it has any right to be.

The EMP Pop Conference commemorative edition of New Particles, 2016-04-15> comes with new songs by: Geryon, Sinistro, Uada, Zhrine, Violenta Josefina, Skating Polly, Fear of Men, Haken, Sparzanza, Shiraz Lane, Kivimetsän Druidi, Schammasch, JoyLess, P!nk, Lera Lynn, My Bubba, Horse Latitudes, Primitive Weapons, GLOWINTHEDARK, 謝安琪, Black Swan, Bruno Sanfilippo, Annalisa, Gianluca Corrao, Västerbron, Hurula, Bellman, Long Distance Calling, Whispered, Car Seat Headrest, Weaves, TitanSlayer, Troker, Torn Hawk, We Will Fail, Interiors, Rydell, Izegrim, Red Cell, Blaqk Audio, Sig:Ar:Tyr, Jonne, Lauris Reiniks, Oscar, Vanessa Falk, Bass Sultan Hengzt, KMPFSPRT, Mimikry, Sunstorm, Prophet, Nira K, Kristin Kontrol and Jon Hopkins. Lots of those are metal. Plus one by me that is not.

New Particles, 2016-04-22 has new songs by: Lacuna Coil, Human Fortress, Sorcier des Glaces, TeamMate, October Tide, Orphan, Qulinez, G.E.M., Marco Carta, Pvris, Wire, Raindear, Postiljonen, King Melodies, Susanna, MythFox, Celestial Trax, Nepentes, Northlane, Niki & The Dove, White Sea, Garbage, Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties, Half Hearted Hero, Ayria, Skold, Aborted, Programm, Hudson Scott, Alexandros, NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST, San Mei, Andrius Pojavis, Lonely The Brave, Gates, Laakso, Maniac, Sola, Seka Aleksic, Miss Montreal, Ted Poley, Dan Bull, Green Light Theory, Gojira, Tonci Huljic, Morphinist, Marsicans and Blender.

The Raindear and Susanna songs are from albums just out that I've been eagerly anticipating based on the singles.

New Particles, 2016-04-29 has new songs by: tricot, Bankrupt, Fallujah, Orden Ogan, Lacuna Coil, Withem, Jorn, White Lung, Wussy, Owen Rabbit, Lisbon, Darkestrah, Dulce María, Kany Garcia, Pinkshinyultrablast, Nemesea, Ingrid Michaelson, Martina McBride, Frankie Ballard, Samantha Glass, Saosin, Abnormality, Mantus, Imatem, Tiny Moving Parts, Pity Sex, Thief Club, The Hotelier, Dowsing, Henrietta, Carnabells, Fejd, Muzzy, Schammasch, Gackt, Velvet Eden, ME THE TIGER, KMPFSPRT, Besserbitch, The Gospel Youth, Kyla La Grange, Lipgloss Twins, Aminata, Kerli, Dalshabet, Haken, Tinchy Stryder, Luca Brasi, Thegiornalisti. The Haken (experimental progressive metal), Tinchy Stryder (grime as pop) and Luca Brasi (big-hearted Tasmanian punk-pop-rock) albums seem like potential classics on initial impression.

A hurried round up for the rest of April cos life and work has been getting in the way. April is the countryest month apparently.

LPs and EPs

My album of the month was probably Margo Price's Midwest Farmer's Daughter. I was going to say this is too good to languish on just the Rolling Country thread but it seems to be getting plenty of traction anyway now.

Whoever had the idea of putting Iron & Wine and Jesca Hoop together has my undying gratitude. Love Letter For Fire is fire. And lovely.

By way of complete contrast, Japan's pop princess Kyary Pamyu Pamyu returns with a fantastic new EP and a typically extraordinary video for lead track Sai & Co. I'm impressed too that each track on the EP seems to be in a different language, judging just by the titles.

FiFi Rong started following me on Twitter ages ago. When she released the Forbidden Desire EP the other day, I thought I'd better finally check out her music. Glad I did; the slinky opener (and title cut) is one of the best pop songs of the year.

Still sore that PJ Harvey's album sucks? Scratch the itch with Cate le Bon's great new opus, Crab Day; love the stark arrangements on this. In a vaguely similar vein, Bristol's She Makes War, who I've mentioned before on this thread, now has a full album of her bruised confessionals to share.

Eastern European speed brass exponents Fanfare Ciocarlia return, but having conquered Earth are now bound for Mars.

Bronzerat Records offshoot imprint 'Series Aphonos' is dedicated to fake library music and soundtracks to non-existent films. This year's release, The Still allegedly features Chris Abrahams of The Necks. You can read more lies about the record here.

Tracks
Side 2 of Brian Eno's 'The Ship' is now finally on Spotify. "Fickle Sun" comes in three sections, and all are great. Here's part (i), here's (ii) The Hour Is Thin, and here's (iii) I'm Set Free.

If Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is the princess, then Perfume are the queens. The high points of their varied Cosmic Explorer LP are very high indeed. "Next Stage With You" is perhaps my favourite track.

Ellen Allien's new single is in a more "bangin' techno" vein than many of her releases of late. "Off" has the better beat, but the sampled vocals are slightly annoying, so I marginally prefer "Hoo".

Welcome back Ke$ha, even if that means having to play second fiddle to Zedd in terms of track credits.
Meanwhile, Sturgill Simpson welcomes his son to Earth with an epic opener to his latest LP.
Here's another album trailer from Brandy Clark. Calling it now: it's gonna be a classic…
… and this is the best so far of the songs that Laura Mvula has put her name to in 2016.
Dawn Richard is keeping things Honest…
…but Ane Brun knows that when her lover Swears That He Is Made of Truth, she knows he lies. An achingly beautiful take on Sonnet 138.

Arrgh. U&K post script - Let's Eat Grandma snuck out another track without me noticing: Eat Shiitake Mushrooms. The rap may be a deal breaker for some of you; they can do no wrong in my eyes.

Hey Glenn, this popped up in my Discover New Releases: http://open.spotify.com/album/4W8yxEf3vuabDM8kmkm8LK

"Elogram" by an artist named ELO, mistakenly attributed to Electric Light Orchestra

Will get it fixed, thanks!

Glenn, if you get a chance...

Every instance of Rod's version of this song is wrong. It's supposed to be "My Heart Can't Tell YOU No".

http://i.imgur.com/iOWgygK.jpg

Titles, unfortunately, have to be fixed by the labels who send us the stuff. I've requested this, but I can't just fix it myself.

Ah, figures.

New Particles, 2016-05-06 has new songs by: Анита Цой, The Howling Void, Rachael Sage, Midnight Eternal, Radiohead, WagakkiBand, Let's Eat Grandma, ELO, Julianna Barwick, Fear of Men, White Lung, Katatonia, So Hideous, Velnias, VÉRITÉ, Oyinda, Gallant, MUNA, Annabel Jones, Kerli, Lacuna Coil, 汪小敏, Veronica Maggio, Maja Gödicke, Alaric, Mitski, Kumikameli, Holy Esque, Rebaelliun, Blood Red Throne, Grave Miasma, Erik Ekholm, Sithu Aye, Chelsea Grin, Keith Urban, Kristy Lee Cook, Real Friends, Against The Current, Muzzy, Mr FijiWiji, Aurix, Scythia, Die/May, Skepta, Maniac, Blacks, IDIOTAPE, sund4ra Karma, Adult Jazz, Crystalyne, One Morning Left, LUH, ANOHNI, Kristin Kontrol, New Pharaohs, Ted Poley, Sunstorm, Sleeping At Last, The Away Days, Astrid S, Danny L Harle, Red Velvet, Kindbergs, The Hypothesis, Glorior Belli, Dead of Night, Candlemass, Kvelertak, Vektor. Especially Vektor.

Glen, any idea what's up with the disappearing notifications feature which let you know about new releases from followed artists? This is pretty much the most critical feature for me, and frankly I'm kind of baffled they would just up and kill it. Please let me know it's coming back better than ever.

I know there are technical issues, but I don't know what the resolution will be.

But if you go to Account, then Notification Settings, you can set those particular notifications to go to Email, instead of or in addition to "Push". This kind of makes more sense, and will make sure you don't miss a new-release notification due to other things piling up.

Weirdly, notifications has been intermittently telling me things in last two weeks, mostly about Prins Thomas records that were already on Spotify, but the odd new thing too.

New Particles, 2016-05-13 has new songs sentimental and unsentimental by Wreck and Reference, Thisquietarmy, Thränenkind, Kvelertak, Kayo Dot, Colleen Green, Speedy Ortiz, Eagulls, CHVRCHES, Tobacco, Jorn, Withem, We Are Magnetic, Dive In, Paperwhite, Allie X, The Staves, Cappa, Hayden Calnin, Delta Goodrem, Ayin Aleph, Tothem, Antonella Lo Coco, Perturbazione, Tides from nebula, Yahir, Bow To Each Other, Torn Hawk, Epic Score, death's dynamic shroud.wmv, The Hotelier, Half Hearted Hero, Holly Miranda, Maren Morris, Brad Paisley, Gorguts, Destruction, Lord Of The Lost, Weaves, See Through Dresses, Dalriada, Navi, Oscar, Migrant Kids, Chelsea Grin, Cezinando, Grand Magus, AMZY, Ted Poley, Sunstorm, LUNKHEAD and Blender.

Maybe this is the week you try to understand something the people who love it assume nobody else knows.

How do I make Spotify stop asking me to connect to Facebook?

Ask @SpotifyCares to fix your account.

Weeks ending 6th and 13th May. Still no Lemonade. No Coloring Book yet either. On the plus side, we've been spared most of A Moon Shaped Pool.

Taking full advantage (or, by default if you prefer), the second most enjoyable album of last week was Jean-Michel Jarre's Electronica 2 - The Heart of Noise. Pretty much everything that didn't work about last year's Electronica 1 is put right here, thanks to a more interesting list of collaborators who, while never straying far from their comfort zone, certainly make Jarre work hard outside of his.

He'll never be fun, though. For smiles, you need Glasgow's Sithu Aye. As his bandcamp page states: "my name is Sithu and I record happy proggressive metal tunes for the discerning listener". Any album entitled "Set Course for Andromeda!!" is going to pique my interest, but this manages to sustain it despite its too long running time (75 mins!). Thanks to glenn for tipping me off to this guy by putting this on his list.

This week, Corinne Bailey Rae was always likely to be top of the heap, cf. posts passim. But the album,The Heart Speaks In Whispers fully earns its place thanks to excellent sequencing: strong statements of intent upfront, a quartet of KING co-writes in the middle to keep you interested, and a final section packed with sheer loveliness. Not enough people are talking about the record on this thread.

The latest from vapourware outfit death's dynamic shroud.wmv Classroom Sextape is less busy than its bandcamp only predecessor I'll Try Living Like This and is reminiscent of The Field in its use of samples. One of these days, someone's going to create wholly original pop songs using these techniques. This'll do until then.

Tracks
May has so far mostly been about football-related songs and songs for movie soundtracks. Of the latter, you know about Eurovision-bothering Justin and Angry Bird-bothering Charli XCX already, but don't overlook Red Velvet's super cute effort. Of the latter, Super Furry Animals easily outsmart the Manics by exhuming Bing Bong from the archives and promoting it as a Euro 2016 song.

No one seems to be talking about the new song from Alicia Keys, which is odd as In Common has, um, plenty in common with this board's interests. Reminds me of Dawn Richard a little - who's also had a busy month so far: an EP, a single and a feature spot on this great posse cut by DJ Carisma.

The new Death Grips album is pretty good, but I kinda wish all the songs featured the girl on Giving Bad People Good Ideas.

Solarstone return and is keen to take us back to Y2K. I'm in.

I've not heard the combo of female vocalist + 100% electronica backing for what seems like quite a while now. So the new record from Ella On The Run stands out from the pack. I particularly like Too Much Heaven and there's also an interesting Ace Of Base cover straight after this one on the EP.

Finally, onwards and upwards for L.E.G. - a single edit of Eat Shiitake Mushrooms is now on Spotify; it's OK but I recommend sticking to the long version. More importantly, we have another track from the album in the form of Rapunzel and a full-page OTT review of said album by Simon Reynolds in The Wire, no less. June 17th can't come fast enough.

New Particles, 2016-05-20 has new songs about displacement and reconciliation from Sylvaine, Mesarthim, Kane Ikin, Adult Jazz, Beach Slang, Wolf Parade, Winterhorde, In Mourning, Evil Masquerade, Trick or Treat, Lonewolf, Broods, Yuna, Huntar, Babewatch, Charly Bliss, Sampha, Niki & The Dove, The Temper Trap, Paolo Simoni, Moseek, Gojira, Deadlock, Architects, Jasmine Cain, Q5, Anahí, Dani Martín, Adiam, Kent, King Melodies, Tiger Lou, Highasakite, XXX Rottweiler hundar, Ensími, Erik Ekholm, LOCASH, Whispered, Sympuls-E, Tiny Moving Parts, Real Friends, Short Stories, The Gospel Youth, Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties, Brand New, Anakin, Against The Current, Dawn Of Ashes, Mr FijiWiji, Rachael Sage, Brooke Candy, Leshak, Fatherson, Prides, Merely, Lisa Prank, Field Harmonics, Kate Jackson, AOA, Odonis Odonis, Tegan and Sara, Pastoratet, Sarah Jarosz, Helen Love, Sanzu, Weval, Ghosts of Pandora and Lonely The Brave

The week ending 20th May is all about two albums.

Gemma Ray's The Exodus Suite - the first to put the twang and shimmer of her Harmony Rocket guitar centre stage since her brilliant covers album It's A Shame About…, servicing a collection of beautiful, semi-political torch songs.

Ariana Grande finally gets everything right on Dangerous Woman. You find yourself thinking "YESSSSSSS" on up to half a dozen cuts. Even Lil Wayne and Future manage not to ruin things. Pop album of the year so far?

Honourable mentions go to tracks by T.I. & Marsha Ambrosius, Floating Points, Roisin Murphy and Hypnolove.

Even Lil Wayne and Future manage not to ruin things.

eh?

New Particles, 2016-05-27 has metal, weird quiet noises, beepiness, fuzziness, guitars, more metal, and shamless self-promotion as long as putting my new song at the end of a 4.5hr playlist counts as "shameless". New songs by: Elohim, Sipario Power Metal Act, Katatonia, Chashe, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Cymbals Eat Guitars, NINA, The Amazing, Behexen, Withered, Sektemtum, Eilera, Jorn, Withem, Эпидемия, Masters Of Disguise, Lacuna Coil, Be'lakor, HOLYCHILD, Kristin Kontrol, 兄弟本色, Periphery, Architects, The Browning, Celer, Nick Casciaro, Emis Killa, Yahir, Anahí, Carlos Vives, Russian Circles, Mira Craig, Frankie Ballard, Klara Lewis, Pye Corner Audio, Miracle Of Sound, Clinton Shorter, Dragonette, Biffy Clyro, Turmion Kätilöt, Raaka-Aine, Illdisposed, Fejd, Mistur, Real Friends, Half Hearted Hero, Dinosaur Jr., Tinchy Stryder, Riz MC, K Koke, Ngaiire, Isac Elliot, Tritonal, John O'Callaghan, Death Angel, Suicidal Angels, Ashbringer, Terra , NAO, Adriano Viterbini, Pur:Pur, Handsome Poets, Niki & The Dove, T-cophony, Sløtface, Aedliga.

Turns out the Cymbals Eat Guitars song is pretty good, though was never likely to top their name. Thumbs up too for the Nao, Unknown Mortal Orch., Ngaiire and Tinchy S/Example/Tempa T tracks.

My picks to follow if/when I stop listening to the new Belbury Poly album.

Catching up from last week, New Particles, 2016-06-03> has new songs from Stockholm and various other places by Roxette, Cantique Lépreux, Boisson Divine, The Beths, Marauder, Mondo Cozmo, Mira Luoti, Shura, Master's Hammer, Wayfarer, Tegan and Sara, Jorn, Trick or Treat, Withem, Tarja, Naomi Pilgrim, Betty Who, Last Japan, Q5, Tkacuk, Anahí, Matilda, Vuolla, Immanuel Casto, Giada, Candlemass, Break of Reality, Maren Morris, Elviaje, Tolidos, Only Shadows, Falling Awake, Ladyhawke, Jan Johansen, Cameron Sanderson, Boys of Fall, Liis Lemsalu, Avec Sans, Silent Crowd, NECRONOMIDOL and NateWantsToBattle.

Looks like The Traveling Wilburys just showed up to the Spotify party!!

Anybody know how that happened? Did Orbison's estate finally relent or what?

Here's a great playlist of songs that are disproportionally popular with groups of young females who use Spotify. I'm kind of bummed that Tidal doesn't have stuff like this.

https://open.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/4ebW6Ob9ZR6eSnTjcqw2Lz

I assume that playlist is for Glenn's own personal use and not for Spotify research purposes.

New Particles, 2016-06-10 has new songs, many of them scary and many of them glorious and some of them both, by: Roxette, CHVRCHES, BRONCHO, School '94, Kylie Minogue, Jute Gyte, Virus, Sabaton, Broods, Shiffley, The Temper Trap, Augustines, Psideralica, Oyinda, HEALTH, The A.M. Experiment, Vatican Shadow, Ersatz, Trampstamp, Brödet, 滅火器, Tobacco, Sumac, Paolo Vallesi, Deadlock, Pariisin Kevät, Bassnectar, Noisia, SHXCXCHCXSH, Derek Piotr, Aerial, The Gotobeds, Revocation, Hammers of Misfortune, Despised Icon, San Holo, Ngaiire, DJ Shadow, Storm The Sky, Sylar, Aly & Fila, Andy Moor, Dorian, Maga, Elviira & Rake, Apnea, Mechanist, Xavier Boscher, Tobuscus and NateWantsToBattle.

As I recall, glenn hates Roxette, so glad to see that Particles doesn't reflect personal taste. Moderately interesting article in Salon about algorithms, which probably doesn't hold up to scrutiny (it strikes me as kind of half-assed and quickly written): http://www.salon.com/2016/06/10/spotify_is_making_you_boring_when_algorithms_shape_music_taste_human_curiosity_loses/.

New Radiohead album is up.

New Particles, 2016-06-17 has new songs by some bands that aren't Radiohead: Astronoid, Ivar Bjørnson, TeraBrite, Blut Aus Nord, Terra Tenebrosa, Inter Arma, Antwood, THE SxPLAY, Reniss, Legendury Beatz, BayouSagaTombo, Portkey, Paws, Stilla, Phantogram, Bright Light Bright Light, Jordan Gable, Bastille, Trick or Treat, Great Master, Palace, Gojira, LANY, MISSIO, Jarryd James, 八三夭, MonoInput, Nails, Finley, Chiara Grispo, Mietta, Raige, Apulanta, Dare, Sleeping At Last, Laura Mvula, Lymbyc Systym, Erik Ekholm, Antti Martikainen, Look Mexico, Landmarks, Schwarzer Engel, We The Kings, Winterhymn, DGM, Hayden Calnin, Racing Glaciers, The Animal In Me, Mahan Moin, Merely, Katohjärta, The Zen Circus, Skeletonwitch, Bosshafte Beats, Haley Bonar, Endless Melancholy, NateWantsToBattle, NECRONOMIDOL, Wayfarer.

So when did Glenn's particle lists start getting really weird and poetic?

Some weeks are like that.

This week is like that, too.

New Particles, 2016-06-24 has new songs by: Close Lobsters, Johnny Foreigner, Mitski, Look Mexico, Great Good Fine Ok, Dive In, Broods, Arkells, White Sea, Hotel Apache, Highlord, Nonpoint, Majesty, Svarttjern, The Flight of Sleipnir, Eilera, ANCIENT MYTH, Shura, Quirke, GENER8ION, Cecile, D3ndron, Earth Ship, Dust Moth, Heavenwood, Chase Rice, Moddi, Sigur Rós, Grumbling Fur, Hieroglyphic Being, Lisa Prank, Skinny Girl Diet, Anakin, Drowners, The Maine, Yellowcard, Puppet, Crywolf, Grimner, Uchuu, Why We Run, Clones of Clones, Sleeping At Last, Ex-Otago, Thegiornalisti, Sinsaenum, Korgonthurus and Gevurah.

Glenn, is there any way of accessing past weeks' Every Noise updates or are they gone forever when Friday arrives?
