idles are also one of my great discoveries of the last years, uk punks (or is it post punks? doesnt really matter) , they already got 2 solid albums, and they seem to be doing pretty good. i read that they played a ton of gigs between the 2 albums (i guess in the uk mainly) i hope i get to see them live before they record a 3d one.
i should note that this album took me a bit more, than their debut, to get into but now i believe that is as (or almost as) good as brutalism.

this is a track about brexit mostly, loving the irony:

idles-great

^love it

you can hear any of their 2 albums, they're really good! i prefer the first one but thats probably because then i knew nothing about them so they took me by surprise :)

now to the next track:
we almost know nothing yet about the greek garage band goodbye bedouin. if you listen to this track here you ve listened to the 50% of their discography. and, well, i think you should do just that:

goodbye bedouin -submarine
https://goodbyebedouin-innerear.band...rack/submarine

i like it when a band seems to have the time (and resources) to do things as she likes. this is the case with the breeders who took their time and surprised us (well at least surprised me) with a new record in 2018 - a pretty entertaining one too!
wait in the car, i got business. (i absolutely love how she says that line)

the Breeders -wait in the car

^I really love their new album. I saw them live this winter, it was a really moving experience. Kim's voice is worn in such a beautiful way

its a pretty good time to see them live! and i d easily choose them over pixies (who in my opinion are absolutely great but probably should have never reunite..)

next on the tape is a new artist i liked: Snail Mail. i m kinda worried about her beeing so young and having this kind of success, especially at this time when success seems to be big and last a little. i hope she can handle all this sh*t. i think this is my favorite track of the album

Snail mail -heatwave
https://snailmaillush.bandcamp.com/track/heat-wave

if this 'd be an actual tape this is the part where you should press eject and flip it over. now, play again and you ll hear the one-track collaboration between yeah yeah yeah's frontwoman Karen O and singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka. i was introduced to Kiwanuka by his 2nd album love+hate. Interestingly that album was produced by Danger Mouse who also produced the new album by Karen O (actually the later is dubbed as a collaboration between the two artists). this track here however is produced by (Danger mouse collaborator) Danielle Luppi.

Karen O feat. Michael Kiwanuka -Yo! my saint

the whole project is related to a short-film. i never watched it but here it is if you are interested:

i didnt like the hip hop records i heard in 2018: Vince Staples, No Name,ye, Cupcakke. Pusha-t had an ok+ album and Earl Sweatshirt which seems kinda good i just listened to it the day before yesterday..

the next two tracks are very nice i think, but i wouldnt advise you to listen to the respective records. Open Mike Eagle's is an ok ep and JPEGmafia's has an ep worth of interesting music in it.....


Open Mike Eagle -Southside Eagle

and then
JPEGmafia -1,539 N.Calvert
https://jpegmafia.bandcamp.com/track/1539-n-calvert

it seems that most of the good albums are stacked in the last part of the tape. the next track is by a band called BEAK>, i discovered them last year although this is their 3d full lenght and they also have published many other stuff including some under the name KAEB<.. they are mostly known because geoff barrow 1/2 of portishead is a member. i wouldnt know how to describe their music neo-psychedelia/krautrock? there's such elements in there. its pretty interesting, i d recommend you hear the whole album if you like this one. its the main single of the album and its called

BEAK> - brean down
https://beak.bandcamp.com/album/brean-down

last week i got sick and missed a gig of Wooden Shjips. that was really unpleasant.
i didnt have this band in high regard. at some point last year i heard their album v and immediatelly i grew a fond of it. i listened to it many many times since..
you wouldnt call this an important album whatever that means. but its an overall good album and a highly entertaining one, i have a good time listening to it. i recommend you hear it. i changed my mind between 3-4 tracks (already gone, red light, golden flower) of its 7 in total and finally decided to put:

wooden Shjips -staring at the sun
