LA Takedown are made up of members of Tortoise and YMO and they just released "Our Feeling Of Natural High". They do a kind of 80's cinematic revivalist thing, and I have to say I'm seriously digging the opening track - "There is a Drone in Griffith Park". Check it:

I'm on the Topshelf Records mailing list because I bought El Ten Eleven's Banker's Hill in 2018, and as a promotion I got a free download of this new album, the full-length debut of Addy, the recording project of a guy named Adam Watkins. It's a kind of slacker dream-pop/indie rock with some country flourishes. Think maybe Beach House with southern twang, violin, and pedal steel. Probably of interest to some RMers:
great read. Also she has been working with Tchad Blake

This record by the frontman of defunct band Cymbals eat Guitars is pretty sweet:
New Mint Mile solid af as well
Hop Along is my favorite band of the last whatever years, so naturally I am super into the new Frances Quinlan record
Waxahatchee's new album which is dropping tonight leaked a while ago & I really like it, she dropped the fuzzy guitar of her previous ones and this time it's more alt-country, but the songwritting is very good.
I also love this, which I'm not sure if counts like a 2019 or 2020 record, it's like if Malkmus was the frontman of a Jangle Pop band, which is extremely my alley:
Edit: and talking of Malkmus his new album is good too
