That's not generally the case for bands with new overlooked albums though.

Chuck Johnson - Balsams
This is my favorite record of the year so far
― Evan, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 18:48 (six years ago) link
but maybe those threads will be around for ages and if the album is canonized or rediscovered or the artist blows up or the song is featured on an episode of future Sopranos it'll be cool to have the thread
not sure what people expect from album threads

i mean, what do people expect from... a music message board?
― flopson, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 23:28 (six years ago) link
haha
I think it's okay that sometimes there's not that much to say abt a new album besides "this rules check it out"
― niels, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 08:56 (six years ago) link
this is a beaut, thanks

Oh I know what's passed under the radar round here...
Gaussian Curve - The Distance: think of the Blue Nile doing ambient instrumentals crossed with late 70s in his more blissed out balearic moments
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Friday, 6 October 2017 20:51 (six years ago) link
should be "late 70s John Martyn"
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Friday, 6 October 2017 20:52 (six years ago) link
Oh man I'm loving that album. Just picked it up finally a few weeks ago. Had meant to buy it as soon as it came out. So good.
― Evan, Friday, 6 October 2017 20:53 (six years ago) link
It's a real grower too, the more you go back to it the deeper you get
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Friday, 6 October 2017 20:57 (six years ago) link
Agreed.
― Evan, Friday, 6 October 2017 20:59 (six years ago) link
It's such still perfect music, it's like they're so into the moment that they're trying to play without disturbing any of the air molecules in the room
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Friday, 6 October 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link
yeah that Gaussian Curve album is brilliant, in fact all the projects Jonny Nash has been involved in this year have been massively overlooked
― boxedjoy, Friday, 6 October 2017 21:43 (six years ago) link
Yeah I need to go back to the Suzanne Kraft one
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Friday, 6 October 2017 21:46 (six years ago) link
Think I will ultimately plump for this utterly lovely little record by Cheer Accident which nobody's heard (listen if you like: gorgeous, knotty prog-pop - this album comes off as an older, wilder American cousin of Field Music maybe?) Oh look, there's me commenting on it and all
― imago, Friday, 6 October 2017 21:56 (six years ago) link
or rather, Cheer-Accident (sorry)
― imago, Friday, 6 October 2017 22:04 (six years ago) link
I'm surprised Laura Marling - Semper Femina hasn't gotten more love, it's really good!
― Moodles, Friday, 6 October 2017 22:44 (six years ago) link
It seems like the loudest Laura Marling boosters (on this board) lost interest with the last album. I think it's an excellent album but it's still just not really my type of thing. But if anything I like it better as an album overall than what she's done before (and I liked Short Movie more than what came before that).

I think my favorite discovery from this thread so far is Lowly.

Read a review that said there's too much going on in "Still Life." There's not too much going on in "Still Life!"
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 9 October 2017 03:20 (six years ago) link
Little bit similar to Mr. Twin Sister (but I haven't listened closely to the whole album yet so that may be off overall).

not for the first time a new CHURCH album will be 'overlooked'

I've been compulsively listening to Demen's Nektyr so if we go by replay value alone…

on an ambient/ post-whatever tip really enjoying the recent From the Mouth of the Sun album

Snapped Ankles’ Come Play the Trees? Other than a pretty enthusiastic review in The Quietus, I haven’t seen much buzz about them.

Gaussian Curve sounds great!
― niels, Monday, 9 October 2017 20:58 (six years ago) link
my favourite thing on it is the title track which is here on youtube
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Monday, 9 October 2017 21:15 (six years ago) link
The speech parts of "Murmure" remind me of Robert Ashley
And Henri Chopin, right. Semi-aware of that when I listen but wasn't naming it to myself.
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 05:09 (six years ago) link
It reminds me of everything.

Gwyneth Glyn - Tro

Welsh-language folk with kora accompaniment by Seckou Keita on a few tracks. The tracks with the kora are sublime.

guassian curve - "four for you" - what a track! thanks to this thread
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 12 October 2017 16:47 (six years ago) link
OH god yes, I was thinking of mentioning that one in particular. So beautiful.
Also, again I'd really like to encourage people to try the Chuck Johnson - Balsams record beyond merely mentioning it earlier. It's gorgeous.

I have seen very little on ILX or in the English-speaking press about the new Melanie De Biasio album -- it's v. good.

This doesn't seem like an album I should have to post about here, it seems like it would be huge, but I'm surprised I haven't seen more mention of the Moses Sumney record?
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 13 October 2017 19:07 (six years ago) link
I have a third release to propose here. The Weather Station's s/t fourth album. Tamara Lindeman seems like a heir of Joni Mitchell and Mary Margaret O'Hara. Some more excellent personal female songwriting from Canada. The album sounds like an instant classic.
I listened to three songs from the Melanie de Biasio record, it is a little on the dark side but definitely worth to check out more.
