Checking out the music in this thread - good to listen to new stuff…

Here’s my submission: Parquet Courts - Sympathy for Life - lead-off track:

Nice to get a new album out. I also love their older (like 2013) stuff:

New Stranglers? cool - I’ll check it out -
just ordered some Stranglers vinyl - don’t have any yet - went with Peaches - a best of “record store day” release from a couple of years ago. My local record shop is ordering it in for me…

Tupper Ware Remix Party aka TWRP’s “New & Improved” is all I love about this band:

I like it too - but I really love their personal mix of the super heavy with the atmospheric and melodic.
I missed the heavy a lot. So, I like the record, yet was also disappointed if that makes sense?

Yeah, totally understand. Sunbather has a really incredible sound and was a great mix of styles. Their guitarist lists Kevin Shields as an influence and you can really hear it.

It’s gonna be real hard to top Dream House.

This is a good description of why I like blackgaze in general.

@sunDOG I realized you might like this and the first album as well - it’s all ‘80s underground club music, covered by other ‘80s underground club artists.

I actually thougth '21 was a pretty terrific year for music. My fave was Squid’s Bright Green Field.
