It's been suggested in some areas of the fandom that the reference to it being the 'latest' album under the boris name isn't a perfect translation, and it would be more accurate to be 'last'. I mean, I do love the boris albums, but in recent years I've actually come to enjoy the Boris albums much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the release info I saw the latest bit so didn’t know the translation point. Maybe with the 3 albums they are providing a conclusion to each element to their sound rather than last one of each. If it was the last “boris” record I suspect that there would have been a little more fanfare. To be honest just happy with more releases from the band and that this is just a nice surprise. I was relistening to flood a couple of days ago which just put me in that mindset anyway so I was very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Once again been terrible at listening to new music, mainly been Townes Van Zandt and a bunch of Swedish language stuff according to Spotify . Anyway these ones I have listened to a bit: Heads for the Dead, Mass Worship & Sarcator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hastily cobbled together top 10 but in no particular order, although Project Gemini, The Lounge Society and Ty Segall have probably been aired more than most. I also bought quite a few EPs this year and will post my list of them later. Top 10 albums of 2022 Ty Segall - Hello Hi Viagra Boys - Cave World Katy J Pearson - Sound Of The Morning Courting - Guitar Music Warmduscher - At The Hotspot Yard Act - The Overload Project Gemini - The Children Of Gemini Oog Bogo - Plastic Lounge Society - Tired of Liberty Brian Jonestown Massacre - Fire Doesn’t Grow On Trees Now that i've had a little more time I can update with a list of nearly rans and EPs! firstly the nearly rans: The Silverbacks - Archive Material Bodega - Broken Equipment Wu-Lu - Loggerhead The Murlocs - Rapscallion Andy Bell - Flicker The Black Angels - Wilderness Of Mirrors The Chats - Get F**ked Dry Cleaning - Stumpwork Enumclaw - Save The Baby Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia Goat - Oh Death Leftfield - This Is What We Do The Lazy Eyes - Songbook Pixies - Doggeral Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Night Gnomes Thumper - Delusions Of Grandeur TV Priest - My Other People Now for the EPs (mainly new bands starting out) Powder Chutes - Sweet Noise Pollution (my mate's young lads NZ band - please give a play on Spotify etc - shameless plug!)

I have been really shit at listening to new albums in 2022 Read a review of Benjamin Tod’s Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing on twitter, gave it a listen, and suddenly I have my favourite 2022 album.

I was reading this and thought, thats a good rating and it seems to be my sort of thing so off the back of gave it a blast. https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/album-review-benjamin-tods-songs-i-swore-id-never-sing/ Quote When the story is told about how country music was saved in the modern era, it’s the post-punk roots musicians who should be given deserved credit for coming into seed the revolution. They were the ones to pick up the traditions that were cast off by the mainstream. They were the first to move back onto Lower Broadway in Nashville when it was still a seedy place full of pawn shops and adult bookstores. They were the first to cultivate grassroots networks autonomous of Music Row in Nashville, creating sustainable careers, and eventually, launching outright superstars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
