Came back from asia and there were really nice songs at clubs (especially in macau), but most artists are pretty unknown to westerns I guess, so thought maybe some1 would recommend something.
The new Still Corners is pretty fantastic. It's on Pitchfork advance.
Not in love with the new Deerhunter -- needs less Bradford, more Lockett imo.
Oooohhh the Savages album is streaming too. 2013.
Loving this Still Corners track, best thing I've heard in ages. The rest of the album is really good as well, but nothing quite at the same standard.
Savages are so close to what I've been wanting for the last few years. Really energetic and abrasive riffs, but there's something missing that I can't put my finger on. I think it's that they pulled out the post-punk playbook but then didn't really bring anything new.
Still, given it plenty of listens and won't hesitate to see them if they tour.
Not sure how much I like it on first few listens tbh, but both their previous albums are among my favorites from the last years, especially Tarot Sport, so really looking forward to a new album from them.
