I'd liked some previous Sleigh Bells stuff, but hadn't properly got into them. This new album has now latched on to me and I am fully on board.

I went to a gig a while ago and the support was a band with just drums/bass/vocals (and then the singer pulled out a second bass) and it just highlighted that what YotC do is akin to magic.

The dynamics, the textures, the push and pull of their rhythms and song structures. From just two people.

And Amy is an incredible vocalist. Album of the year contender already.

How have I not posted about Scowl before? They were one of my most listened bands last year and they keep releasing bangers. Their new album is shaping up to be great.

New Messa!!

Quite different from their previous stuff and really goes on a journey. A shock at first, but really grew on me.

We are made up of our longest days We are falling but not alone We will take the best parts of ourselves And make them gold

The new Avatarium album is out! But I already posted the best song from that, so here's something from a different album that just came out that snuck up on me.

I swear every time I watch a Nemophila video, they seem to be having so much fun. But how could you not when you're capable of writing a song with a chorus this good?

Not only is there a new Avatarium album next year, but also Year Of The Cobra?? I am beyond excited.

Do you ever listen to a band and think "yeh, I like that" and then they slowly sneak up in your estimation, until you suddenly realise they might be one of your favourite bands.

What a performance! One of my favourites of her songs.

[debbieharryiscoolerthanyou]

New Gnome song! It's great and the video is incredible as ever.

And I've said it before: More metal songs need sax solos. It's always the right choice.

Spotify has been telling me for a while that Kittie have a new album (probably because of how often I listen to their cover of Run Like Hell) and I've ignored it because stuff they did post-Oracle was mostly meh.

Finally gave it a listen and it's pretty great

[debbieharryiscoolerthanyou]

Another album to get obsessed with!

Eye is a solo project by Jess from Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard (the band with the best name ever). It's basically what I imagine would happen if Chvrches and Portishead recorded a bunch of MWWB covers.

[debbieharryiscoolerthanyou]

Time for the regular occurrence of "a new album came out, so I'm gonna have it on repeat for far too long". It's time for Dool!

[debbieharryiscoolerthanyou]

New Husbandry song! And it's SO FUCKING GOOD!!

[debbieharryiscoolerthanyou]

Just discovered that Carcass did this "remix" that's basically just Swansong-era Carcass with Bjork vocals.

Wish I could go back in time and convince them to make multiple albums like this.

[debbieharryiscoolerthanyou]

More metal songs need synth breaks so the band can do a little dance.

Went all the way to Manchester last night with a friend to see Messa, an Italian doom band. Despite the trip being not so great in certain areas (missed trains, horrible hostel stay, venue being an old warehouse in the middle of an industrial estate, etc), the gig was amazing. Astonishing how good they sounded, especially their vocalist.
