And Its Smith Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 We do this every year and now is just about the time to do it again. I always look forward to this as make a point of listening to every album suggested at least once and, as a consequence, always discover great new music I wouldn’t say it’s been a vintage year. Hard to say if that’s due to lockdown or not! My list for this year: Mild Orange - Mild Orange Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia Black Pumas - Black Pumas The Wkend - After Hours Dream Wife - So When You Gonna Alto Parks - Collapsed in Sunbeams Looking forward to hearing everyone else’s.

AshtonGreat Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I didn't get on very well with Bright Eyes. I bought 'I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning' a few years ago and I think I ended up taking it back. Each to their own though, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I haven't heard a great deal among the newer bands that has got me excited, the main exception would be Fontaines DC - A Hero's Death which is very good. Two albums by "old stagers" who are still pushing boundaries. Ghosteen - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, (Technically it was released in November last year but I got as a present for my birthday in January ) Hey Clockface - Elvis Costello, the man defies his age and constantly changes his direction as the opening track Revolution #49 shows. https://youtu.be/rDg8SWah6DY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsince1994 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 The Allergies - Say The Word Fantastic album from Bristol based artists with lots of international and UK based collaborations. My favourite song from the album is this one with the Cuban Brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more sweeter after the US election result. Best album to come out of South Bristol this year is City fan Boca 45s Donuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 As I said in a thread a while ago started by @AppyDAZE the lockdown has got me going back through all my old CD's & vinyl rather than anything new. Listening to Aussie band The Sports as I write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Avalanches new album released today making a late run as a contender quite chilled out in places but after 2 listens it’s awesome. So many features and collabs. better than gorillaz record I reckon which was also pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
