I liked it a lot and perhaps surprisingly to some I am not a huge fan of the band, more a casual listener. This album was the first of the bands that I liked start to finish.

I came at it not really knowing anything they had done, to be honest. I was aware of them because of the name change so hadn’t even really known if the album was pre name change or what. I thought it was really good, it’ll be on again today. Put it like this, I bought a new new album by a band I like, and I ended up not playing it yesterday because this got a couple of plays. More ‘pop’ than I’d expected but no bad thing for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2021 OCS - Memory of a Cut Off Head. John Dwyers (currently) last album with Bidgit Dawson. Much more pastoral than any Oh Sees output 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 wolf alice - blue weekend i like them, dont love them but definitely one the better main stream bands from recent years, the last album had some great punchy quick tempo punkish songs but for me the longevity wasnt there, i dont listen to it anymore apart from the great dont delete the kisses (the spotify sessions recording) the new album is very different, the punchier songs here are some of the weakest for me, it seems very deep, very lyrical and personal and takes a few listens to try and understand what shes on about, she has a great style of almost whispering and then belting out the chorus, delicious things being the best example which is also the song that i understood the lyrics to first and its an incredible song, probably their best to date, its a good album well worth a few listens this should take off and be very successful for them and lead to them being high up festival bills, they're already headlining latitude this summer, not sure what kind of radio play they get 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Royal Blood - typhoons Id say these are in a similar position, i like them dont love them, listened to the first 2 albums then it kind of died down, seen them live and they were great, would ahve expected them to keep growing and getting bigger and flirting with headlining festivals...but this isnt that good, they've gone for a different sound, ventured out from the crowd, its not safe rock riffs anymore and i just cant get in to it, theres nothing there thats grabbed me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Trees Speak - Post Human The third album in about 18 months from these guys. It’s a difficult one to rank, so probably needs a bit more of a listen. Some of it sounds suspiciously like their management have given them a load of Deutsche Elektronische CD’s and said we need something that sounds a bit like this by next Thursday. But then, there’s a couple of tracks that are up there as good as anything they’ve done and probably my two fave tracks by them. Double Slit, and Glass, both are suitably repetitive motorik stuff that brought me here. Other tracks, beginning to head down a slightly jazz filler route. Perhaps other bands might have had one album in 18 months and it was terrific. These guys are releasing something every six months which I guess roughly means one finished new track every couple of weeks. If there’s a fourth album and it’s released in 2021, I’ll probably want more of a listen before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like them as a band, every release has been a banger and this is no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
