Collaboration between Automatisme and Erinome, Post-Landscape 1, just came out on Neologist Productions. They also released a reissue of Automatisme's Automatisme 2 with a couple bonus tracks.



Next release on Constellation is the second album from Joyfultalk, Plurality Trip, out August 24. The first "single" is "Monocult."



Lastly (for this post), Vennart has a new album that just got finalized and is expected for release later this year, possibly in September. The lead off single is called "Donkey Kong," though it's not streaming anywhere as of yet. It can be got by signing up for his mailing list.

One of the girls from Warpaint has a solo album, just dropped yesterday and its good...Its TT´s Love Laws and sounds way more focused that the previous member solo album Jenny Lee´s Right On!

Both of them sound very much alike their band though...

Technically December 2017 but I finally got around to Robert Finley’s Goin’ Platinum. He’s got an awesome voice and the album has some real fun stuff on it. Amazing what someone can do. The guy was apparently an iron worker or something to that effect until he started going blind a few years ago and had to change careers in his 60s. Decided to sing. More power to him.

Here's that Vennart song, "Donkey Kong," now on YouTube.

As do I, but goddamn the Vennart stuff is pretty great. I wish that British Theatre gave me the same vibes.

David Byrne had a great album come out earlier in the spring. With that album, YLT and Jicks I think I’ve bought more new music than the last two years combined.

We’re talking actual record store purchases here. Not new albums streamed.

[iAbuseAnimals]

Ganser - Odd Talk
Camp Cope - How to Socialise & Make Friends
Sarah Louise - Deeper Woods
E - Negative Work
Earthless - Black Heaven

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem
