I've decided that I need to listen to more new music, well new to me.
Today I found these three that I haven't heard of or about before :
Black Stone Cherry - Black & Blues (EP) : American Rock and blues - https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nAYO9XgJllyJyIgKK9YiFNjkAtXKFVDt0
Fontaines D.C - random tracks from them, but mainly their album Dogrel : Lads from Ireland, post-punk, English rock - https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nJ3WlBRRd4QjNPUSPEWr3N4vwm0wNnaSs
Tinariwen - Emmaar : Group of Tuareg musicians from the Sahara Desert region of northern Mali - https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l3ZBIdokLGHG2PRwpSRO3KdsjMyEC42A0
Oh I forgot this lot, which I found some months ago
AnnenMayKantereit - German group, https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCK2ZLsY9Mb_dxZiZfKE3lGg
especially this track - Barfuß am Klavier - https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=tERRFWuYG48&feature=share
Do you have anything you recommend, like a new style or artist, a hidden gem, a toe tapper, please share.

I don't know how new these are, I let BBC 6 Music find it for me, currently listening to
Warmduscher
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iogJMGrC84U
Porridge Radio
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27BvZLSzaz8
BC Camplight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py4prb2kQ1o
And still on BBC sounds some interesting stuff from the festival that was a lifetime ago, or was it a few weeks, the Jehnny Beth set needs playing loud and the Kate Tempest needs a proper listen
https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e2hp8g

Yussef Kamaal: Black Focus
-
Thanks both, I haven't heard of any before, though I got a feeling that I have seen Yussef name on a lounge/chill/acid jazz mix, that Disco Peanut is a bit rude :)
-
Funnily enough I had Tinariwen
in the back of my cab yesterday playing yesterday
How about The Big Moon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OijD72t4XY
More chilled are Lanterns on the Lake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJrS-TCHU-Y
And finally, probably the best Mongolian metal-world fusion band The Hu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE
-
Like Paul H said, I let 6 Music steer me. I found Fontaines DC and Kate Tempest that way, both already mentioned.
I think I'll get "Welcome to Bobby's Motel" by Pottery when it comes out, solely off the back of listening to Texas Drums. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMWq5h6w3mE)
Sleaford Mods are also on my list of what to get next.
-
Tinariwen - Emmaar : Group of Tuareg musicians from the Sahara Desert region of northern Mali - https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l3ZBIdokLGHG2PRwpSRO3KdsjMyEC42A0
I saw Tinariwen playing live in Bristol a couple of years ago. The place was jumping
-
Big moon, on bikes, with go faster flares and covering their brakes - whats not to like.
Oh yes I forgot about The Hu Mongolian metal throat singing, videos are worth a watch just to see the fantastic landscapes.
Also added Pottery and Sleaford Mods to the list.
Thanks, keep them coming
-
Thinking about Tinariwen - what about the Turbans, not the lot from the 60s but the lot from London and Manywhere as they call it "The Turbans are an International Musical Collective playing Modern Ethnic Music from “Manywhere”" - https://soundcloud.com/the-turbans - Looking at their video on the tube, their concerts looks mad (in a good way)
They remind me of a few mad days in Barcelona many moons ago, hidden bars/clubs (legal and not so ...), live bands from all over, who then after they have played a gig, just jammed with whom ever and what ever that could make sound into the early mornings.
-
Saw Lanterns On The Lake as a support act a few years ago. Might have been with Explosions In The Sky, or GY!BE.
-
Thanks Woollypigs, I didn't know musicyoutube existed. I assume I'm on some sort of monthly free trial now but it hasn't told me that. I started with AnnenMayKantereit which was good - who knew what a beautiful language German was for lieder? - then went down a rabbit-hole of shoegazery music that can accompany my 'w'fh without grabbing too much of my attention - Beach House, Flower Face, Bahamas.
-
I've been asked to pay for YouTube and never accepted the offer for a free month. I think just using the web browser version drags the music from YouTube and is free to use. But using the app and offline playing and higher quality is where payment comes in, let's see in a few weeks when I have used it for a month ;)
-
Yeah, I've had the ads now.

Songhoy Blues - https://youtu.be/-w-qX0KzO0w

Songhoy Blues - https://youtu.be/-w-qX0KzO0w
Wooden Shjips - https://youtu.be/CtHSOvL9xQE
The Dead South - https://youtu.be/bTpTgBudECU
Good call on the Dead South. Probably the best band I've seen live
-
A lot of good sounds on the Youtube KEXP channel
-
Thanks for that IanDG, The Dead South popped up yesterday. Enjoying Songhoy Blues.

I've been telling everyone about FIP for ages. It's a French radio stream or, rather, a set of streams: rock, jazz, reggae, groove, electro, etc., and a general one which cherrypicks from the others. It's ad-free, with no talking whatsoever, other than a syndicated news broadcast for about 3 minutes once and hour. (Though there tends to be a bit of a chat in the evenings, when they switch over to live broadcasting.) I have a very large music collection, but I often find myself ignoring it and listening to FIP all day. It's genuinely eclectic and I've discovered loads of new stuff - you just check the website to see what it is you're listening to. Highly recommended: https://www.fip.fr

I'm sure people here are familiar with Skunk Anansie.
This performance is something else: https://youtu.be/JxlYbs4vaWk (https://youtu.be/JxlYbs4vaWk)

Thank you. I followed the link and it opened with albums by Rhiannon Giddens and R L Burnside.... To be folloewd up.
Last night I found Ry Cooder's latest album, The Prodigal Son (2018); worth a listen.
The soundtrack of Encounters at the End of the World (a Werner Herzog film) by David Lindley and Henry Kaiser is also worth hearing.

I discovered FIP in something like 1973. I think it was all live back then, and it was certainly very informal. I remember one of the presenters saying in passing that she had a new boyfriend who was 32 years old and still had all his teeth. Unfortunately in this area we don't pick them up very well - German FM stations are very emphatic.
-
Ah thanks for the link to FIP, when I lived in Paris there was a radio station I used to listen too. I can't remember what it was called but in was over the air and had the various categories like FIP. I truly enjoyed French radio, because they played so much more than just "the top of the pop". Introduced me to Arabic, Persian, Trance, Grove, African e.g world music, more than radio in DK or UK ever did.
There is also https://zoma.fm - I used to listen to Groove Salad for hours and hours
I also just found this radio station https://www.nts.live/ based in Hackney and LA (I think it was)
-
HA ! just as I closed the tap it came to me - https://www.nova.fr/

Another vote for FIP here. Friday night is jazz night.
Also for KEXP, though a couple of the presenters need some winding through. We ended up hooked on King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard thanks to them.
Also, 6 Music Gideon Coe show saved my life (when I thought nobody made music for me anymore).

May I take the opportunity to remind you all that even in these troubled times that jazz is still wrong.

But it's jazz introduced in French. Therefore it's ultra cool.
-
Le Jazz est très cool. Exhibit A: Le Hot Club de France.
There's also what guitarist Danny Gatton dubbed "Redneck Jazz" which is not quite le same thing.
-
This is also jazz. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzltbMXEvpQ)
It not exactly dixieland though.

All Them Witches - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5zHzS4R6GY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5zHzS4R6GY)

I used to think the same.
Then I drank half a bottle of Benylin and it all made sense.

This sorry isn't new for me, but I got a feeling this will be new for you.

Lhasa de Sela's album La Llorona gives me many a happy memory of working on a campsite in France back in 2003. Sadly this talented woman was taken from us way too early
Yesterday I was playing Gregory Porter - Liquid Spirit (https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kiS3u4gRF2VCG6ZsV4i2T3ZLET44_hKG4), again an album I haven't heard before, I wonder if you have, I have seen I'm talking on the telly and talked about but this was the first time I heard his music
-
Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela's Rejoice is a thoroughly splendid record, as you'd expect from two absolute legends of African music. It was recorded a while ago - Hugh Masekela died in 2018 - but only released last month. For added poignancy, Tony Allen died yesterday too.
One of the tracks, Never, has been getting a fair bit of airplay on 6music - it's a cracking tribute to another African music legend, Fela Kuti, with whom Tony Allen worked often:
https://youtu.be/d4ckbxqrCIc
It might all be a bit too jazz for some tastes but can be enjoyed without the need for Benylin.
-
Le Jazz est très cool. Exhibit A: Le Hot Club de France.
I was brought up being forced by my dad to listen to Stephane Grapelli and Django Reinhardt. This may explain a lot. Or it might explain nothing at all...

The King Gizzard set was a good one - agreed about the presenters :D
Have you seen the Huun-Huur-Tu set?

This is also jazz. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzltbMXEvpQ)
It not exactly dixieland though.
He's brilliant! (With a capital F)
He's on a new album (released a couple of weeks ago) called Transylvanian Folk Songs. I've only heard a couple of tracks, but I will make time to listen properly.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that. :thumbsup:
<edit> just downloaded it and listening now. It's very good - of course.

At the risk of going all Wowbagger, I've heard of Skunk Anansie, Ry Cooder, Hugh Masakela and Gregory Porter. The rest of your stuff is so f**king esoteric!

That is the point, isn't it?

I've recently discovered 1990's US indie band Neutral Milk Hotel. In simple terms they did two albums and disappeared. The first is a lo-fi, fuzzy and thoroughly enjoyable work "On Avery Garden" but their 2nd album "In the aeroplane over the sea" is more folky and has become regarded as a bit of a hidden classic.
There's a good deal of experimentation, odd instrumentation etc. and the results can be hit and miss but generally I found both to be well worth the listen.
-
I fell over Joanna Connor today especially this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSwoM7WIy5M more from her here https://music.youtube.com/channel/UC2cAO7D5I-f4vrEv8Dp0BdA some good old blues.
-
I caught this on a music podcast, and it really grabbed me. I love the mix of choral, whoops and all kinds of stuff. Track two is my lockdown soundtrack: https://youtu.be/mUfeDpf5kJk
-
I agree with The Dead South recommendation, the Spotify playlist has become part of my cycling soundtrack.
After watching far too much Anthony Bourdain programs, I have come to like (via his one on Berlin) The Brian Jonestown Massacre (especially Anemone).
Having seen them live, I'd vote for Alasca and Holy Moly and the Crackers (two more different acts you couldn't want, really)
One last one, I absolutely love the music of Rosalia.
-
Katy J Pearson. The voice is reminiscent of Stevie Nicks, the sound is upbeat jangly guitar pop with a motorik rhythm. Presses a lot of buttons for me.
Currently getting a lot of airplay on 6music, Take Back The Radio - I've got this stuck on repeat in my head right now:
https://youtu.be/V3Ru61teqxg
But for sheer life-affirming joy, you can't beat the video to the track she released late last year, Tonight:
https://youtu.be/WG0lKOKkb1I
-
Another one if you like a good pop video, Beginning by LA Priest:
https://youtu.be/GZefdoETt9s
As noted in the comments, it might look a tad familiar if you ever saw Depeche Mode's video for Enjoy the Silence, just with a pointier hat.
Most importantly, it's a really great song too.
-
Musically, one of the most interesting artists around right now is BC Camplight. His current album, Shortly After Takeoff, is great but his last one, Deportation Blues, is amazing - here's a track off it:
https://youtu.be/lYCiR2354nU
He does songs about being an American immigrant living in Manchester. The cultural references are highly endearing. The tunes are great too.
-
The new Wilma Archer album, Western Circular, is very very good indeed.
Cheater, a collaboration with Sudan Archives, is a good example of what to expect from the rest of the album:
https://youtu.be/GpjK57J3WLY
Strange but in a really good way. Love the quirky brass sound.
-
Wintergatan - https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCLFMX5KXvYScjRJ7ccDkOYg
Their music is ok, kinda jolly, but it is more the tech/instruments they are using for/in their music. And do watch the build videos of the Marble Machine X they are making atm to take with them on their next tour, it is cool to see how it's build up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVbh_FEiF2E

^ thanks !

It is pretty astonishing, it grabbed me with the mariachi-style trumpet wailing over the top of all the other instruments (I'm not sure what you call the thing that sounds like a monkey being scraped down a blind).
Occasionally the fusion is a bit much and doesn't quite work for me - but imagine how many hours of jams they compressed down to three quarters of an hour.
