Inspired by DT's fantastic music threads....

What new music has you feeling good and what new music do you want to spread to the masses.

I'm generally averse to new music (get off my lawn!). So it's no surprise what I'm excited for is a band that's been around for ages.

Count me as cautiously optimistic for the new Tool album based on the first single.

 
Wow. Classic Tool. I am glad they really didn't try and reinvent themselves, because it has been awhile since we heard new Tool music. This is great. Danny Carey is my favorite drummer in rock. Just a killer.

They also finally put their music on streaming services this month so that's about all I've listened to.
 
I thought the new tool song was meh. I have heard 2 of their new songs already and really no good tool riffs with them. That said I wont complain ever for new music especially when its been 13 years.

A really good band is surprisingly a Pittsburgh band called deathwhite. Check then out if you like that goth rock that plays radio friendly tunes. Reminds me of bauhaus and peter Murphy a bit.

Some of the drum licks reminded me a lot of Reflection. It's the first I heard and I was actually pleasantly surprised. But it's hard to judge it in isolation from the other tracks.
 
I saw J.S. Ondara at Club Café last month. If you aren't familiar, he is a Kenyan singer-songwriter, now out of Minneapolis, who grew up on bootlegged American tunes. He liked Knocking On Heaven's Door by GnR, knowing nothing about Bob Dylan. That led him down the road to folk music. If you like folk rock check him out.

I heard an interview with him on the podcast Broken Record with Malcolm Gladwell, Rick Rubin, and Bruce Headlam (very cool podcast for music lovers) and he came across as an extremely intelligent and thoughtful guy. I really liked him and his voice is remarkable.

Like I don't have specific songs or albums, but I do like Cold War Kids, Courtney Barnett, Decemberists, Head and the Heart.
 
My local town's band Six60.








Named for the address of their flat on Castle Street when they were at University of Otago. These guys have made it pretty big and are selling out stadiums in Australasia. They still come back and play at Uni orientation and at smaller venues in town. Guys who made it big but still not too big to forget where they came from.

I listen now mostly to Sirius XMU (Indie Rock). The albums I liked most over the past year were by Middle Kids, Christine and the Queens, Beruit, and TuneYArds.
