The Syndicate

@ me if I don't respond soon. I want to listen to the things.

Always good to encounter a great new band right as they're working on a new album. There Will Be Fireworks?
Extremely emotive indie rock from Scotland.

They're not working for me either, figured it was my connection being poop.

Rules

I listened to three Radical Face albums for the first time today. Very good start.

Yeah I've been focusing solely on 2016 music over the last few weeks, but the Marble Sounds album caused me to detour through their three albums. Great band.

Today I was introduced to The Jezabels. It's not on YouTube, but I'd recommend y'all check out their track "Stamina". Fantastic.

Thanks for sharing folks.

I've also heard the new Roly Porter album, AP. It's definitely interesting, though I grant I've not immersed myself very deeply into any type of ambient music new or old. I've just heard this new album by Aythis and I really liked it. Fantastic piano uplifting an otherwise dreary and cold thing.

When I say "new" in the thread title, I mean "new to you" and not "new to the world". The latter is still applicable though if you have something relevant to talk about.

My adoption of favorite artists tends to be pretty arbitrary; I explore music at random within the RYM charts and a few isolated gems stand out. I'd like to talk about the most recent, a band called Marble Sounds. They're mostly suitable to the classic indie rock aesthetic, though there are a lot of electronic and dream pop influences present too. Their 2016 album "Tautou" is very good, I'd recommend anyone with Spotify give it a try. It is probably available on some other media too.

Here's a taste:



I'm sure many of you who make a serious hobby out of listening to music have encountered some new musical fascinations in recent memory. I'd love to hear about them.
