live band that BSP are at their best.

They sure are. Very much like the Manics in that respect for me.

Loving the new East India Youth album. Warpaint release their 2nd album on Monday (produced by Flood which can only be a good thing). Also even though you may not usually pick up NME, it's worth a read today as they've picked a load of albums coming this year and spoken to the artists about them.

Kasabian - nuff said.

Anything by Tool.. Or Godspeed IMHO..

Godspeed "side project" A Silver Mt Zion released an album recently. A delightful NSFW title as well

Can't get on with the East India Youth album at all. Maybe it's just me. Will be interested in the new Warpaint album though, am off to see King Lear at the National when they play the Dome, the first in many scheduling disasters for me at the end of Jan beginning of feb.

Just finished my first listen of the East India Youth long player now. Happy with my purchase!

As much as I like BSP as people, I just don't get the appeal. And I've tried.

They're a bit more of a side project as they filled that gap of eight years when Godspeed went on an 'indefinite hiatus'. I'm a bit nervous about what the new ASMZ album will be like...

BSP - I just don't get the appeal. And I've tried.

Absolutely this. Saw them at Latitude in '08 and I don't think I've ever been as underwhelmed in my life, considering the hype. Seemed like an economy version of Arcade Fire, without any of the bits that make AF good. Bit harsh perhaps, but did absolutely nothing for me.

Watch out for Chloe Howl as well - may not be the usual NSC cup of tea, but she's definitely a massive step up from Lilly Allen.

 

[narly101]

Swim Deep should have their 2nd album out this year as well - touring with NME's Awards Show in February at London's Koko.

 

[tinycowboy]

Keel Her album out in February - hopefully worth checking out.

 

[tinx]

Been listening to the new Stephen Malkmus & the jicks album. definitely my fav so far this year.

My cat farting is a massive step up from Lily Allen.

I love anything by Tool as well as Perfect Circle and Puscifer but just wish they didn't take so bloody long between albums!

 

[The Modfather]

Elbow return with a new album this year, here's the first thing from it

I hope its better than the lacklustre, Build a rocket boys

 

[tinycowboy]

Indeed they are, I am in possession of them all. I just really liked Hardcore.
Also on the soundtrack album note, following on from British Sea Power's From the sea to the land beyond they are doing/have done another called Happiness: http://filmguide.sundance.org/film/13928/happiness

Sorry - shouldn't preach to the converted.

 

[Dan Aitch]

I'm hoping Bear Driver might get their arses back in gear but all the Wall/Lyla Foy stuff is keeping them in hibernation.

Same here, they'd been on an amazing upward trajectory critically and commercially until that point. It was such an uninspired record. I'm a fan of the other 4 though, not a bad hit rate...

Embrace new album coming April 28. New single Refugees is EPIC
