A 2015 thread already exists (we're posting our favs of 2015 right now, here's mine), but maybe it would be cleaner to just make a new one fresh into the first week of January.
This is a thread for new releases, shows you went to recently, or any news in this endlessly subjective world of music in the year 2016. Thanks to the last thread, I really got into Bully, Everything Everything, Courtney Barnett, and Viet Cong. So it worked out for me. Share some cool music, and discover some in return!
THE ONLY RULE : Please don't embed youtube videos.
I've seen threads die here because they drown in youtube embeds. Link stuff instead. Thanks!
Anyway, this thread will probably start slow, since 2016 hasn't gotten rolling yet. There are only a few things on my radar right now:
- In a couple weeks, veteran blues-rock band, Sherbets will release a new LP, called CRASHED SEDAN DRIVE. Here is the first single, "Stealth". The song is okay, not great. I still have high hopes, because their last album (released only six months ago!) was one of my favs of 2015.
- That same week, Chairlift is releasing Moth. If the lead single, "Cha-Ching" is anything to go by, they are going hard into modern pop. Not my bag, but I gotta respect the duo for going for a completely different sound with every album they release.
- Other than that, I'm just waiting for Animal Collective's latest. The single they teased with last month, "FloriDada" is stupid fun.
