Listened to the new Grimes album last night, couple of good tracks but didn't really grab me on first listen using the iPad speaker. Some good tracks knocking about by Chairlift, SO7Bs, POLICA etc but there are very few decent albums around.

Albums 52/79 and 71/75 respectively on those two lists are my albums of the year thus far, unequivocally. Two of the best videos of the year for tracks off them too.

Good shout, HF. I'll give that a listen, I like a bit of The Coral.

 

Listening to plenty power pop recently since I've been lamenting the lack of well-written guitar pop music atm and got back into Big Star and Supergrass. Those early Supergrass singles are immense and St. Petersburg from Road to Rouen is criminally underrated. What a fantastic song.

Been number one in the US for a few weeks now. Owt with Janelle Monae on is worth a listen, unfortunately, she gets nowt more than backing vocals. Their second album is out now but I've only heard the first.

Beach House's new album. Now, 2012 has kicked off. Brilliant stuff.

 

Andrew Bird's Break it Yourself is good too and hopefully holds up on repeated listenings.

 

 

Love this too

Really good. Well worth a listen if you liked the other 3. Bloom, it's called.
