Thanks for the Foals video post. Loved it - 1st listen to WWD it felt a little sleepy, but it's grown on me fast. Really enjoying it. Just got the Royal Albert Hall bluray, looking forward to seeing them live.

The new Beach House album Depression Cherry just came out. It's awesome.

I have to disagree on this song. I strongly disliked it. To me, it sounds like an Explosions in the Sky instrumental with extremely monotonous vocals added in.

New Bullet For My Valentine cd, Venom, is out for a bit. Pretty enjoyable, back to rocking harder again.

BFMV has been awful lately. I'll check it, but my expectations are extremely low.

The Arcs - Yours, Dreamily. is out. It is a side-project by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. Very solid.

First single "Stay in My Corner"

Alessia Cara released her EP, "Four Pink Walls". Her song "Here" is starting to gain some momentum on the radio. I look for her to be a breakout crossover artist in the next few months.

Last one for today...

Stumbled across a new (to me) band named The Amazing. They are kind of a mellow, indie-psyc rock band a la Junip or The National. I really enjoy their sound.

Track - "Picture You"

Quick look at this thread and no Nathaniel Rateliff, soooo....

Not so new, but new to 3wk over the past couple months and to me

fun video from FIDLAR

After a slow year for me this last week say FOUR album purchases. All released this past 7 days, and all four are fantastic.

Toadies - "Heretics"
Metric - "Pagans In Vegas"
Ryan Adams - "1989"
CHVRCHES - "Every Open Eye"

BONUS:
Arcade Fire - "Reflektor" (Deluxe) - Already had the album so I grabbed the third disc off iTunes. 6 new AF songs ain't a bad way to start the weekend.

BONUS 2:
My friend gave me his free download of the new Failure album. Not a huge Failure fan but it's been good for a few spins and enjoyable.

I don't see the new Gary Clark Jr. posted on this thread. It's been out for a couple weeks. It doesn't seem to be on the level as Blak and Blue but it is solid. I recommend The Healing, Our Love, Hold On and Cold Blooded. I love this dude.

After a few days with What A Time To Be Alive, I give it a 6.5/10. Could have been so much better.

Either way, can't decide who is having the better 2015, Drake or Future.

The Big Grams (collaboration between Big Boi of Outkast and Phantogram) is 7 kinds of awesome...

Big Grams is awesome... Can't believe I didn't know about it.

I'm not really a rap/hip-hop fan, but I just listened to that Big Grams album, and it's really good. Nice suggestion

New Kurt vile is album of the year so far

I really liked "Walking On A Pretty Daze" but "b'lieve i'm going down..." isn't doing it for me for me as much. Still good music.

I really have to disagree. I don't think it's very good. Music shows plenty of talent, but there's just nothing there that's worthy of notoriety.

Digging the new Clutch 'Psychic Warfare' album

Funny. I thought pretty much everything he and his buddies recorded was garbage up until this last album but habe taken aback by the lyrics and subtle melodies of believe I'm goin down. I also think the music -- which has a hazy, repetitious quality -- fits his lyrical style and delivery much better than the roots rock from his last few albums.

To each their own.
