Beach House - Bloom 9/10
Beach House - Depression Cherry 8/10

Constantly growing blooming, repeated listenings (and time) work wonders when it comes to this band.....

 

Freedom's Goblin - Ty Segall
9/10
One of my three albums of the year, probably, and one of his best.

Father John Misty - Live at Third Man Records
8/10
First play and it sounds quite lovely. He can do no wrong at the moment.

Afro-cuban All Stars - A Toda Something
7/10
It's outsaying its welcome a little, but has lifted my spirits nicely.

Had the chance to have a bit of a listen today:

Helix - Bastard Of The Blues: 6 (This is a fairly new album for me so the rating may well change after a few more spins)

The Cadillac Three - Legacy: 7

Mary-Chapin Carpenter - The Things That We Are Made Of: 7

Graham Nash - This Path Tonight: 9

Dawes - All Your Favourite Bands: 8

 

Listened to This Is Big Audio Dynamite this morning for the first time in decades. The first song had me thinking, "So this is Jones' first stab at a song since the Clash?" Monotonous, weak melodies, missed opportunities, uninspired. The rest was alright, and I think I will keep it, but for real--4/10.

Sisters of Mercy's Floodland--3/10 for me; ejected after a few songs; into the trade-in pile. All I need is First and Last and Always.

R.E.M.'s Murmur (I.R.S. Years Vintage series)--wonderful to hear this again after so long. 7/10.

Kiss's Destroyer--what fun! Really great production, 7/10. My favorite Kiss album.

 

Joining in
Todd Rundgren's Utopia 9.2
Fruupp - Future Legends 9.0

 

caetano veloso livro 10/10 maybe his best one for me!

 

The Coral - Roots & Echoes 9

This Coral album along with their self titled debut is probably the albums of theirs I play the most. I enjoy every song but I'd pick out Who's Gonna Find Me, In The Rain and Rebecca You.

Low - C'mon 7

Not the most consistent Low release, but still contains some fantastic songs like Witches, Especially Me and Nightingale.

Never Let Me Down 18 - unrated - still not sure about this one.
