  • Got an email from Subpop that I can stream entire new Beach House album! Unexpected surprise. If you ordered Once, Twice Melody through Subpop check your email or sign into your Subpop account! Listening to Chapter 4 now.

    @wokeupnew wouldn't hurt to reach out to Subpop and tell them - i think their bandcamp is linked, so they should give you access

    @blenoxsmith I'm actually surprised they would do that since the band has mentioned the release schedule several times and was set on it being released in this way. I may reach out, but I also don't mind waiting. Also since you have it, I'm sure someone will upload it somewhere for other people to download.

    I'm just happy the vinyl is scheduled to ship out for the release date, because these digital streaming files aren't the best quality and I can't wait to bathe in this album. There are a couple more stunners in the last five tracks; this album is a masterpiece imo.
    This January music explosion is insane! Beach House C3 drop, followed by great singles from Hatchie, Girlpool, Nilüfer Yanya, Animal Collective, Big Thief, and Jenny Hval Wednesday. And this morning new one from Melody's Echo Chamber!!!
    The new Destroyer single sounds like The Faint with Dan Bejar on vocals … very curious about the direction of this album based on the single.
    There's always an album I discover from the previous year, just after New Year, that I'm surprised I missed since it's right in my wheelhouse. This year it's an electronic/ambient album: Hannah Peel's Fir Wave. Absolutely love it.
    Kishi Bashi announces mainly East Coast tour with some Midwest dates. Must see live act in my humble opinion.

    @Heath one of his insta stories with these tour dates had "first leg of spring tour announced" written on it, so just a matter of time until more dates for the second leg are announced.

    @blenoxsmith oh yeah I totally expect a local show to get announced, but then I'll just see him twice on the tour ;)
    The absurdity of new music genre names is only confirmed by Spotify's wrap up telling me I listened to 256 different ones this year.
    Some time to relax on this 4-day weekend coincides with my deep thinking for my best songs of 2021 in the competition with some friends (bracket style) for song of the year. So one stress replaced with another; this one seems much more important …
    Tuesday around this time is insane for show announcements - within minutes of each other I learn about spring shows in Philly by Perfume Genius, The Antlers and Sampa the Great, wow!

    WHOA...you gonna do the trifecta?

    Definitely Perfume Genius (never seen him perform, and have wanted to for a long time), likely do The Antlers because it's a Friday night in a church sanctuary, which seems too perfect, and won't be able to do Sampa, because it's the night before a Low concert, which I already have tickets to :) and I can't go to back-to-back concerts, it's too overwhelming, and I need time to process.
    Sudden urge to listen to Catherine Wheel's Adam and Eve. It has gotten better with each play since 1997. Such an underrated album.

    Truth, i wasn't buying vinyl in 90s so I have the MOV represses, and they are good, but not really dynamic. It's also annoying how Adam and Eve is on and off streaming services (mainly off) randomly.

    Happy Days and Like Cats & Dogs both sound great, so if we could get whoever did those to do the rest, that’d be swell. But MOV did release Adam & Eve (with the alternate cover) and it sounds at least as good as the other 2 they did. It’s still even floating around at retail if you look for it.

    (I think I panic bought it when it was announced because at that moment it *wasn’t* available anywhere to stream)
    leaks are saying we'll get an announcement about a new Beach House album, which will be released Feb 18th. leaks, so can't confirm just yet. very very exciting if this is true.
    I finally got my hands on Grouper's AIA : Alien Observer when it was restocked. The pressing is immaculate. Which is crucial for quiet music like this. Very happy.
    Parannoul fans. They just posted for the first time ever on insta that a new album is dropping on October 22. It includes 4 Parannoul tracks and 6 songs by other artists, not sure if it's a collaboration album or compilation. Very exciting.
    Anyone know if/when a new Gang of Youths album is being released? The recent singles have been fantastic, including the most recent "the man himself."

    completely forgot they have a new one coming until just now. If there's no news by now maybe they're saving it for next year since Australia is in lockdown currently.

    It's pretty nuts that they've released 4 singles in '21 (if I'm counting right) without any word on a new album. All good, but I think of them as an "album band" so I keep expecting news.

    I think they said in an email or post that it would be released over MONTHS?!! so might be a while.
