Soda - Without a Head [EP] (2016)
Nice post-punk that doesn't seem to be trying to emulate a specific band or style like many others. Promising EP.

Sioux Falls - Rot Forever (2016)
I mentioned this in the Albums You're Digging thread a few days ago so I'll just copy those thoughts here: I heard a song last Friday while shuffling my 2016 album queue and I liked it very much, reminding me of 1994 Built to Spill and Weezer. Can't go wrong with those things. The song was "Your Name's Not Ned". So over the weekend I decided to listen to the whole album. It's a lot more emo than I expected, emo in the 90s revival style (SDRE, Mineral, etc.) not the corporate emo of the early 2000s and beyond. It's a long album but it's one of the best I've heard in the style since the 90s.

Animal Collective - Painting With (2016)
It seems like a lot of music publications were dogging on this one but luckily I found it enjoyable. Two plays so far - it's a fun and accessible album for them, but I don't see any fault in that.

Self Defense Family - Superior [EP] (2016)
Prior to this, I'd only listened to last year's Heaven Is Earth. These 4 tracks are pretty subdued in comparison, but nice.

Charles Howl - Sir Vices (2015)
Listening to this one now and I quite enjoy it. I'd heard a few songs already up to now and this morning decided it was time I give the whole album a listen. Indie/Psychedelic pop band from London.

Saroos - Tardis (2016)
Four Tet - Pink (2012)
Can - Tago Mago (1971)
My Disco - Severe (2015)
Can - Monster Movie (1969)

Screw this - no images this time. Favorites in red. Later albums need more time before becoming favorites (like Can, for example).

Duty Now For The Future is very underrated as Devo albums go. The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise and Wiggly World are two of my favorite songs that any non Devo fan could ever name.

Now playing: Hildur Guðnadóttir & Skúli Sverrisson - Heima

Yeah, hotshot Terry taking all the spotlight.

I'm curious what you think of Hildur Guðnadóttir. I always feel like I should like her more than I do.

contemporary music. So I think that as she's maturing, so is her sound.

Hm I suppose in fairness my knowledge of her music only extends to Mount A and Without Sinking - closer to the birth than maturity - both of which are good but I haven't exactly fallen for either. And I know she did work on Theory of Machines which is indeed great. If you want to shoot me something from her you think I might like more (solo or otherwise), please do.

I just bought popular singer Arijit Singh hits CD in market and thought to give a very good review on that music. Really I have lost myself in hearing those songs. Feeling like I am already in love with the songs to here as many time as I could.... Among them the following is the most frequently listening song and my favourite one

**Goofle** · 02-26-2016, 02:04 PM

Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom [EP] (2016)

Not listened to this yet, but apparently it's her step into the realm of Bubblegum bass, so obviously I am excited. I do like a fair bit of her music as it stands anyway.

**Goofle** · 02-26-2016, 02:26 PM

I wasn't sure if that was verified. Looked too tumblr. And I like Giorgio Moroder so I'll check it out.

(p.s. Trophy is a banger)

**Goofle** · 02-26-2016, 02:33 PM

^ This is the truth.

It's the best thing I have heard so far this year.

**Goofle** · 02-26-2016, 03:23 PM

Massive Attack - Ritual Spirit [EP] (2016)

EP featuring tracks with Roots Manuva, Tricky & 3D, Young Fathers and Azekel. Promising stuff.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 02-26-2016, 04:55 PM

Screeching Weasel - First World Manifesto

Loving this at the moment. Does anyone know of any similar sounding stuff? I've torrented their discog. so will go through that. I had some other things to listen to but they sound more aggressive than this so I'm guessing this might be more like commercial sounding/Poppier Punk?

I like it anyway.
