[Music] Albums Thread 2019

[Is it PotG?]

Esja by Hania Rani.

Out on Friday, the three tracks I have heard are wonderful. A talented pianist, promises to be my AotY with Delta Sweete, Beth Gibbons & SOAK.

Bootiful.

Listening to this as I prised this thread open. Care to share thoughts on Penderecki because I think this is my first encounter with him.

On a slightly different note, following on from Sharon Van Etten, I've just stumbled across another stunner that I suspect will be a strong contender for AotY for me: Crushing by Julia Jacklin.

Probably Penderecki’s most famous(!) piece is Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. Set for 52 stringed instruments i think and written in 1960. Haunting stuff.

W H Lung is very good, and very Hookworms.

Bloody hell, it is, isn't it?

Enjoying this.

We're not supposed to like Hookworms any more though. I still think Microshift was up there in last year's AotY territory.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yes this W H Lung is good, I may even venture out to see them at GDS.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

New Priests album well worth a listen.

We've bought a ticket to that and Hen Ogledd on the same night. Fingers crossed their stage times are different, and we'll get to see at least some of both.

Henosis by Joep Beving -- who is new to me -- is 100+ minutes of neoclassical piano-based invention. I suspect [MENTION=35196]Is it PotG?[/MENTION] will get on with this.

Thanks, new one to me. Will give it a bash.

Apologies in advance if it doesn't. It was recommended to me by a couple of staff in Resident, and have been impressed with the first few spins. Apologies in advance if it doesn't do it for you.

No worries, appreciate the suggestion. I need to stop playing the Hania Rani - Esja album as I have been totally obsessed with it.

Funny one, isn't it? I loved that album, but confess I haven't listened to it since...and had a strange feeling about listening to something Hookworms-esque. But this is a bloody good album.

I'm not so sure whether I've listened to it since the announcement either

New Loyle Carner album dropped today. Liked all 3 singles off it and there’s some good features on there including Tom Misch. About to give it a listen, hope it’s as good as Yesterday’s Gone. He’s also recently had a feature on an Ezra Collective track which is pretty damn special too.

Thanks, will listen now.

We've got tickets to see him at The Concorde on May 3rd, really looking forward to that.

The new Leafcutter John album is reassuringly delightful for fans of patterned electronica
