I don't give a darn about your indie bands

St. Vincent's self titled album is my early leader for 2014 album of the year - it is fantastic.

Real Estate's Atlas, released yesterday, is up there as well.

Anybody a fan of She Wants Revenge?

Anybody a fan of She Wants Revenge?

yes, but haven't heard anything new from them in awhile...

 

[DoctorWho]

yes, but haven't heard anything new from them in awhile...

They are currently on hiatus. Hopefully they can find time to make another record.

The new album from Cloud Nothings is quite good.

 

[Jagdaddy]

Surprised that this, which went semi-viral, hasn't been put up yet:

Wussy - Attica!

Out today, and it's rock-solid. Wussy are one of those bands that really never put out a bad song. The B-side of this disc is particularly good.

Nearly ten years in, and they finally got a review in Pitchfork. Congrats to them for that. They're playing a free show on Fountain Square in a few weeks - I'm really looking forward to it.

Parquet Courts already have my favorite album of the year with Sunbathing Animal.

Yesterday, they released a second album, under the band name Parkay Quarts called Content Nausea - and it is very good.

Definitely my favorite band out right now.

Ben Cooper/Radical Face has put out a few new "Bastards" with the final "Family Tree" album coming out next year:

Also, he completed the "Clone" project over the past couple months, which is a pretty interesting experience:

Everything this guy does is so good.

Everything this guy does is so good.

Seconded.

Welcome Home was the first thing of his that I heard. Immediately sold.

Been listening to their new one ad nauseum *groan*. It's quite good. I think you're the one who suggested them to me. Thanks for that.

"Instant Disassembly" is by far my favorite song of the year.

Wilco released a surprise new album last night. It only costs FREE dollars and you can download it from their website if you give them your email address:

It's called Star Wars, so I imagine a lawyer somewhere got a call from George Lucas last night.

I'm almost to the end of my first time through the album. I think it's pretty good. Maybe the most interesting thing they've released in a decade. The songs are tighter, built around specific ideas, and don't overstay their welcome. I'm eager to see if they give this a physical release.

EDIT: Serious White Album / Abbey Road vibes from this Wilco album. I've been anxiously awaiting the new Tame Impala that just came out today, but I haven't touched it yet because I can't stop listening to Wilco. Also, physical releases are planned... August 13 for the CD, November for vinyl.
