Boards

You know your stuff, that's FOR SURE.

that Factory Floor one
that Mark McGuire one

IT did come at as a single very late 2012, but it was released this year on hew new album so I am counting it anyways.

http://open.spotify.com/track/2quCL7Auyhq9EcUuMUSmLs

Like the Marnie Stern suggestion, was out towards the end of last year, but the album came out this year so there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux1fglC0aT0

I just assumed that's what everyone else has been listening to

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcdOLKx2XG8

Unconventional R&B with no verses or chorus? That'll do!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9uE46sMugw

is my current favourite off that album

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnejbIBLGTg

this has been on all sorts of ads for ages.

good song, but it's got a bit Peter, Bjorn & John for me.

Ed Harcourt - Hey Little Bruiser
Eels - Peach Blossom
Dutch Uncles - Nometo
Local Natives - Mt. Washington
Public Service Broadcasting - Everest
Foals - Inhaler
Nick Cave - Mermaids
Suede - most the new album

GOOD

but Inhaler is the worst thing on that Foals record by some distance. Quite a few people have said it sounds like Kasabian, and they're not wrong.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3QZYHb9xWs

Apparat - PV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XBYzv-0xkg
Girls Names - Hypnotic Regression
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ0htgiJGZo
Blacksmif - How The Fly Saved The River
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phVL6kYC7SA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS_d-QD1dOo

not a bad track, though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY5hfF9IB6s

but I like that song cos it's big, stupid and sounds a tiny bit like Deftones.

although it's so consistent it's hard to choose one track

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMWEwXilWhA

But Jubilee Street by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds runs it quite close.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTc75Qbb_Qg

but i LOVE that new Suede single and I don't care who knows it. I've heard it on the radio and in shops and it feels like a proper single like wot bands used to release in the old days (as in, 6 years ago).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQud7EFQ3zQ

Ego Free Sex Free is also fantastic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHMep5P7eTo

Johnny Marr - New Town Velocity
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmBrxh1eoCQ

Nick Cave - Jubilee Street
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYyX1ISE6KQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oXJus1ajIU

Autechre - jatevee C
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hlt7Uo9yik

Super proggy post-rock loveliness. Can't get enough of it. Also, fantastic video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XevlloPY4

(not a very DiS choice I suppose...)

Checked it after hearing that Guthrie Govan did the guitar work on it.

through the album. So job very much done, there! And yes, the whole album is astonishingly good.

Jakwob - Blinding
http://m.youtube.com/results?q=jakwob%20blinding#/watch?v=Qx74mYOiGFA

The 1975 - Chocolate
http://m.youtube.com/results?q=chocolate%20the%201975#/watch?v=FfBKqaVk2Co

MBV - In another way
http://m.youtube.com/results?q=in%20another%20way%20mbv#/watch?v=6oXJus1ajIU

The first album was patchy with good moments, this one is largely the same. Favourite song is Dropla too.

Not in a position to open spotify.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o0A36Zb1ZmI

I don't know if it's my standout favourite but it sits alongside some of the suggestions made here already.

http://open.spotify.com/track/4FgA9Sj2dCL8uENfl0TNkA

Atoms for peace track?

Not very DiS I know, but there we go.

http://youtu.be/hMon8Mnb3UM

is fast becoming a YLT favourite for me.

but the front half of Holy Fire is cracking. There's a lot of preciousness about how much less 'shimmery' and 'intelligent' this album is. I guess I should look into the previous ones.

(and you know when a band has done well when it's used as incidental music for Six Nations coverage)

For obvious reasons (I released the record) we've not covered the record on DiS. There's a new video for that track coming very soon tho.

but agree, the album was a bit disappointing after the debut.

Cannot get enough of this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anRkutaPS9w

Need to check their album out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbrtS8E0kpY

Nothing has come close to this so far. Although, Fisting The Fan Base by The Night Marchers is a belter:

http://open.spotify.com/track/6JFiiJgKjz9kbcQN6wQsrJ

http://soundcloud.com/i-like-press/01-jazz-funerals

I may have a vested in this band, but I wouldn't be involved if I didn't think they were pretty special. Like a cross between The Birthday Party/Grinderman and early Interpol.

but I think Bombs Away is my favourite on Wonderful, Glorious

You Don't Turn Down
Nothing Is Easy
Proof of Life

Great album.

is The Terror by The Flaming Lips, but picking a standout track is hard. Maybe Try To Explain for the emotional weight. No link I'm afraid.

or the re-released We Are Enough from the same single.

http://meltyourselfdown.bandcamp.com/

Still seems weird to hear this on a Sharwoods advert.

Watch it full-screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eoVLfPszeQ

Everyone does

not sure yet about the rest of the album, but that song struts around the room

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyDUC1LUXSU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YkjMeKZcA8

On An On - Panic
http://open.spotify.com/track/6oZdHaCve4Z8sp9FhbDMxN

Phwoar.

and We Are Enough is equally fantastic. They'd better do a whole record

But then, there's a lot of great stuff on the new Grouper album.

cheers pals

If I was you I'd be jizzing promo material for that album all over the shop. It's a total beauty.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1LlgfPF2dQ

is completely irresistible
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np_aWvxc8vQ
here's a nice live performance of it too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74_54V0tdRM

but I can safely say based on their live performance of it the other week that the best track released this year will be

Kvelertak by the band Kvelertak

David Bowie - Dirty Boys
Local Natives - Heavy Feet
Waxahatchee - Dixie Cups and Jars
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege

probably

Tegan and Sara - Shock to your system
Iceage - You're nothing
Torres - Honey

all spring to mind.

You'll also be pleased to hear that the Ed Harcourt track stood out, didn't know it was him until I checked.

(Most specifically, the bit where the beat kicks in to back up the absolutely evil riff about a minute in - my favourite music moment of the year)*

*Although it is closely followed by the climax of 'Jubilee Street'

Truce is monumemntal

very, very Get A Real Tattoo mind you. although 6x7 have never been afraid of ripping themselves/others off - it's something they do very well, and it's not like they're much about melody anyway. Incredible sound.

This is the annual Euromillions non-rollover jackpot for indie points

yay. housey good vibes.

'Step' by Vampire Weekdend is gorgeous.

(apologies, I am basically just trawling Best New Tracks and catching up on new tunes).

Just posted the playlists on the main site too http://drownedinsound.com/news/4146222-playlist--dis-communitys-favourite-songs-of-the-1st-quarter-of-2013

IS THAT YO BITCH CUZ SHE TELL ME SHE READY TO GO?!

It's gonna be an epic night.

Saw their previous (brilliant) London gig, at the Luminaire in 2007. Still have the shirt. That was after their previous surprise reformation! And to think they outlived the venue...

i've not got a link

Sounds so, so good.

My Brother & I are putting on that night (I'm Chris). I'll buy you a beer Mate. I'll probably be on the door.

no worries about the beer! i'll be wearing a retro 6x7 shirt and probably still sporting a limp/crutch

would make my evening (well, 6x7 will do that anyway but yknow) :D

aside from blurred lines ft. t.i. & pharrell, tunnel vision is the best thing timbaland's done in years, it's INCREDIBLE, it might be overall co-produced, but it's easily something he could have co-wrote with missy fifteen years ago and then added a shitload of strings and then reversed them. millions ft. rick ross is probably my most played, though.

i had three separate paragraphs and merged them all together shouldn't, have bothered

This is a bit gorgeous http://vimeo.com/61477696

I was right.

https://soundcloud.com/border-community/holden-gone-feral-41bc

he is more than welcome. He's entertaining the idea, but he's still exploring the Southern Blues stuff at the moment, which is still great by me.

And I agree. Wasted Spaces is an EPIC song. Probably be played during the DJ set anyway!!!

It's quite a hard listen though, I get this lump in my throat...
