Only recently discovered Huron after a recommendation.
Due to current circumstances at home, I’m streaming music rather than listening to my vinyl collection (not using Spotify though - fuck that shite). Those artists you mentioned have not emerged on the algorithm, but I will check them out as I’m not familiar.
My turntable is broken so I feel your pain.
I’m old fashioned and still buy CDs as I want to own my collection, I do buy a few downloads on Bandcamp though.
I really got into what we call “Alt-country” during the early 2000s once our “indie” scene started to sound a bit samey. I think Midlake were the first band in this category that I got into, back when they were really good.
I should post more in this thread as I’m listening to music all day at the moment.
Reminds me of London and so many happy times there in the nineties.
And not unrelated.
For anyone who wasn’t around in nineties’ London, you missed it feeling like the centre of the cultural planet and Wenger’s French Revolution up the road at Highbury was the icing on the cake.
Still Corners, triple-whammy…
Couldn’t find a video for my favourite track “Faint Goat” but if you’re into stoner alt-country, sprawling alternative rock. Then I highly recommend the somewhat underated band 13 Ghosts and their 4th album “Strangest Colored Lights” from 2008.
Still Corners is the greatest band I’ve previously never heard of. Every song a banger.
If you disagree, you’re a cunt.
What say you, in your nouveau western comfort zone @Wivenswold ?
Edit: slotted a couple of extra JJ in, just because.
Old straight geezer, but hell yeah, it’s Ware!
She’s got a cracking voice, I like it. Defo sounds like it was made in California, so it passes my test.
A live performance in Paris by the legendary Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds to watch today.
I tried posting the link but I think you have to subscribe.
Anyway, it’s here.
A lot of respect for Nick Cave and realize his genius.
I was working at Brighton Borough Mortuary on the day that his son Arthur died, although I had nothing to do with the case.
I became a bigger fan several years later, after I had moved to the U.S, and was buying more music again.
