The albums thread - 2014

[spring hall convert]

Following on from the successful 2013 thread ( here - https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showt...ust-have-albums-of-2013&highlight=albums+2013) we are about to start seeing the 2014 releases. Some that I'm particuarly looking forward to in the next couple of weeks are

Actress - Ghettoville
Mogwai - Rave Tapes
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Wig Out at Jagbags
East India Youth - Total Stife Forever ( A VERY early album of the year candidate if the singles are anything to go by.)

Already mentioned on the indie thread:

Mutual Benefit - Love's Crushing Diamond

U2 are putting a new album out soon i believe.

I will be picking up East India Youth, Steve Malmus and the Jicks and Mutual Benefit albums on pay day. Also the new British Sea Power album (an OST) which sounds amazing from what I've heard on youtube, not their usual style being largely instrumental post rock but it sounds beautiful.

First Album of the Year candidate has to be September Girls - Cursing The Sea. Sublime.

Have you seen the film that the soundtrack has come from? (it has been on BBC 4 a couple of times.) It's is brilliant, I almost think it will be a shame to listen to the soundtrack without the pictures.

No- but I understand the soundtrack comes WITH the film, and yes I heard the same thing from the DIS review.

No worries then.

Just offlined East India Youth for a listen at Lunch time today. Love these threads for recommendations.

On another post, you're speaking about music alongside film. That Mogwai Les Revanants is an amazing soundtrack, and listening to it is extremely evocative of what was one of the best TV series of last year.

Hungry Face gave me the chills yesterday.

Hungry Face gave me the chills yesterday.

Was going to ask you precisely what this Hungry Face that gave you the chills yesterday was, but I then looked at the CD box, and found out that it was the first track. Hope you've recovered.

 

[tinycowboy]

That album was stunning. I am amazed it did not get more praise than it did last year. I wonder if they will be doing another for the second series?
Also Mogwai's album before Les Revanants, Hardcore will never die.... was bloody good too so I am looking forward to Rave Tapes a lot.

ALL Mogwai albums are worth a listen. I'd start with Ten Rapid, a compilation of their early singles. Contains some terrifying guitar squalls. A "Best Of" Mogwai album would be stunning, but hard to narrow it down to less than 20 tracks.

I'm still a bit spooked. I have a seven mile cycle ride home later in the dark. Will be avoiding the underpass.

Love this album, didn't realise it was a soundtrack.

I saw East India Youth as support to either BSP or The Fall at Hove Market Place. I can't remember which it was but it was definitely in that venue. Having heard some of the album I wish I had paid more attention to him at the time- well worth a listen.

 

[tinycowboy]

I almost bought East India Youth at Resident on Saturday. And September Girls. Slightly regretting that now, but will see if Spotify comes up trumps. May have to give that Warpaint stream a listen too.

East India Youth is/are at The Green Door Store 7th Feb. A mere £6.
