The "New Music Artists you currently do enjoy" thread

I heard Courtney Barnett for my first time yesterday, thought she was new but then noticed she was the musical guest on SNL last night so I guess I'm not setting any trends. I like her stuff a lot.

uncle acid and the deadbeats may appeal to sabbath fans too.

The Iron Horse by the Sound Defects isn't totally recent but it is a hidden gem that I listen to monthly. It's a soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist but should.

i thought it was going to be like the silencers -cyclerific sounds lp i think that had something to do with the dirtbombs.

Black Keys.
Paolo Nutini.
Prima Nocta and Fifty Foot Combo (both Belgian bands).
Imelda May and Caro Emerald (though their music is mostly retro).

There's still decent music out there, but I feel you have to look a little harder than in the old days. They may not top the charts, but still great music.

Switchfoot.
Yellowcard.
Blue October.
Naked and Famous.
Grouplove.
Sia.
Tom Day.
When In Rome.
Mattafix.
Sounds Under Radio.
Pegboard Nerds.
Parachute Youth.
In-Flight Safety.

And a few others,and of course the usual 80's and 90's stuff,lol!

J-R!

All Sabbath fans should check out Crosss - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1NtDQ7Dt9wA

4NDR10D mentioned Wooden Shjips, the first time I saw Crosss was opening for the related band Moon Duo (also great). It was a fantasticly, sludgy, stonery night!

^^ Hell yes. Although I don't recall Lilys being on Elephant 6, Slumberland and SpinArt. Recently just got the "Eccsame The Photon Band" colored vinyl reissue. Still have the original CD.

i don't think they were i think that was just me lumping them in with them because they were around at the same time doing similar stuff.

Yeah Gabriel was more of a "city limits" artist and I really liked how different he was in his first two records. Oddly, "So" was the first album that ever horrified me for being too commercial, that whole "I hate it when bands I like get big" syndrome we do when we're young.

I know that syndrome well.

[palitoy]

Haha - I'm a bit younger, so the very first album I bought with my own money was "So". I loved that album - and I also loved Collins - and at that time I had no idea there was a connection between them.

I don't think Gabriel works as well for proof of my lame tastes, because I think he holds up a lot better. I don't think he's "cool", but I still think "Security" is a great album. Some of the production and the world music influences sound dated, but it's still a dark and interesting pop album. I think I still have my cassette copy of the german version someplace.

That's interesting, when I was 7th grade I got really into another Genesis front man, Peter Gabriel's "Security" album. That also didn't work so good in with the "lumberjack jacket/Triumph shirt with the white sleeves" crew in high school.
