    Be nice if people would actually say a few words in their posts about the picture or video they are linking, like how they like the album, how the rest compares if a song is posted, what format they got, how it sounds, availability. Contrary to the old adage, a picture of an album cover doesn't really say much :)

    I'm also looking forward to this......can't put my finger on it yet why, but have watched the 2 videos released so far and although they are from NY (I believe) they have a very mellow verging on LA sound........I may come back an edit this when the album finally comes out.

    I’ve picked up some very good albums from the recommendations in this thread in the past. I am looking forward to more new discoveries and hope to be able to contribute something also.

    There's something very appealing about it, like they're not trying too hard to impress, but then the hook grabs you. I'll definitely give the album a listen.

    I'm excited about Ty Segall's new double album, Freedom's Goblin, which comes out on the 26th.

    I'm only a casual Ty fan, but I think the preview tracks have all been pretty good.

    Just bought it today, but will not get to listen to it for a few days. BRMC is one of those Bands, who I bought all of their albums, but seem to have gotten lost in my collection of CDs, so has been while since I have played their prior albums. Maybe because it has been 7-8 years since their last studio album is another reason I had forgotten about this band. Love most of their albums, except did not care for 'Howl'(I think it was that album, that was too Country/Blues Rock that is not my taste). The reviews for 'Wrong Creatures' seem to be good though.

    Amazing video - hilarious and sad at the same time.

    It's their first in actually about 5 years (Spectre At The Feast came out in 2013), but still probably the longest wait between album releases for them. It's a pretty good record, let us know what you think.

    I also like Howl quite a bit, it's up there with my favorites of theirs (though don't worry, this new one doesn't sound like that one too much).

    I really liked the first album so will keep an eye out for this. It sounds like they’ve softened their sound a bit here.

    Also excited to hear Lo Moons debut album next month. Reminds me a little of Talk Talk mainly because of the voice.

    Evelyn Glennie / Jon Hemmersam / Szilárd Mezei / Michael Jefry Stevens - The Core-Tet Project

    Dame Evelyn Glennie - Percussion (Scotland)
    Jon Hemmersam - Acoustic Guitar (Denmark)
    Szilard Mezei - Viola (Serbia)
    Michael Jefry Stevens - Acoustic Piano (USA)

    I bought this because of Evelyn Glennie who is my favorite percussionist. The others are all free jazz/avant garde artists, none of whom I've heard before. The music is completely improvised.

    Naxos is an interesting label for this music to be on. They do put out some jazz, but it's mostly pretty mainstream and this is not. My guess is that Evelyn Glennie put this together and proposed it to Naxos since she's recorded for them in the past.

    I'm so glad these girls are back. They're abducting you into their soothing and harmonic world again.

    The new First Aid Kit is my pick for the first great 2018 new release. Tucker Martine produced and his slight change in the sisters direction is a great move.

    And those harmonies....

    Ordered the purple splatter vinyl a few days ago from their German label Tonzonen Records (Dirk Raupach), a little cheaper than bandcamp for the US, should be fun, looking forward to playing this one a bunch this year, along with the new one from The Limiñanas, Shadow People, in a few days.
