Haven't seen this band yet...
Spoon has put out great music on a consistent basis for the majority of their career

 

Got to see her open for Courtney and Kurt Vile a few years ago...

 

How about Thievery Corporation-Treasures From The Temple 2018
Outstanding album IMHO-great reggae,downtempo,two upbeat pop tunes Reminiscent of the 80s),and a rap/soul song called “History” .

 

Rival Sons
Tame Impala
St. Vincent
Mitski
Sophie Hunger
Lillie Mae
The Last Internationale
The Struts

 

Almost too much great new music to mention. This place’s underlying refusal to accept that great music continued to be made after the Beatles broke up is disheartening, to say the least. Here’s a list of artists whose worst album is better than Egypt Station:

Low
Real Estate
The Clientele
Chromatics
Burial
King Krule
Kanye West
Andy Schauf
Mac DeMarco
Hand Habits
Jay Som
JPEGMAFIA
Zola Jesus
Japanese Breakfast
John Grant
Father John Misty

 

Khruangbin’s ‘Con Todo El Mundo’ from 2018 is one of my favourite albums that I’ve discovered in years. The vocals are mostly chanted, sometimes wordless, and always low in the mix. The guitar sound seems equally influenced by southern rock, surf rock, and all kinds of world music, particularly Mexican and South American, and it’s backed by the steadiest drummer and most melodic bass player I’ve ever heard. It’s their second full-length album. The first one, ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ from 2015, is worth checking out, too.

Elsewhere:
— “Keep on Loving You” (yes, the REO Speedwagon song) — Cigarettes After Sex (2015, ambient indie rock)
— “Please Don’t Cry” — Cigarettes After Sex (2011, indie rock)
— the album ‘Antisocialites’ — Alvvays (2017, indie rock)
— the album ‘The Endless River’ — Pink Floyd (2014, ambient, mostly instrumental. Many disagree with me on this one, but every note is beautiful to my ears.)
— “Say Something” — A Great Big World WITHOUT Christina Aguilera (2013, pop piano ballad)
— “Victory” — Trampled by Turtles (2010, modern bluegrass)
— the album ‘Lungs’ by Florence + the Machine (2009, indie pop. This 2010 performance of “Cosmic Love” specifically is gorgeous and addictive. )
— “Let Me In” — Snowmine (2011, indie rock)
— “Stand by Me” — Florence + the Machine (2016, orchestral pop)

Older, but exceptional enough to warrant a mention:
— the album ‘The Age of the Understatement’ — The Last Shadow Puppets (2008, rock, with strong Britpop and ‘60s baroque influences)
— “Is There a Ghost” — Band of Horses (2007, rock. Best leap-out-of-the-speakers album opener I’d heard in at least 15 years.)

 

Aye!

EG.

 

Oops
I left off
Robert Randolph and the Family Band

Check em out
You’ll be glad u did

I heard this one by Shilpa Ray on the radio the other day and it stood out.

 

"The Wanderer" by Laville.

 

I really love an english singer named RUMER....Her first album "SEASONS OF MY SOUL" is brilliant and her 3rd. Album "INTO COLOUR" is just as great!if you like KAREN CARPENTER'S voice then you will love RUMER

 

Totally agree with you on Courtney Barnett and Billie Eilish. Love everything they've done so far. Both of them are totally unique and extremely talented.

 

I really like Tame Impala, too. Have you tried Porcupine Tree. Pretty similar to TI. Very good.

 

No, but I will check them out!

 

Shark Week - Lauren Hibberd ( 2019 )

 

Purple Mountains - Purple Mountains (2019). I was a latecomer to the poetic world of David Berman. "American Water" by Silver Jews passed me by when it came out in 1998.

 

Up to like 2006. Short but good run.

 

Sierra Ferrell was recently signed to Rounder Records and should have an album coming out in 2020. I think she's someone to keep an eye on.

 

Some great studio albums in my music collection that have been recorded after 2010:

The New Adventures of P.P. Arnold... her first release of new material in 51 years. There's an inclusion of a spoken word piece by Dylan... Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie. A most unexpected choice.

It's a wonderful recording. Some say her best ever; including her earlydays as an Intermediate artist.

Sam Fender - Hypersonic Missiles
(2019)
Start with the title track or ‘That Sound” but the whole album is solid.
