Count me intrigued. What's the sound like, kinda space rock?This isn't new by any stretch, quite the opposite in fact, but for indie/alternative fans, these two obscure, trippy albums from 1984 and 1987 are well worth hearing (they've both ended up in my all-time favourite indie albums since I discovered them a few years ago.)
So, quick backstory, there was a little-known UK band in the Eighties called Webcore. If you wanted to buy either of these two cassette-only albums at the time, you'd have to either get them from the merch stall at one of their gigs or order it from them by mail, so I can probably guarantee that literally nobody you've met IRL has ever heard or even heard of this music before!
Sometime, around seven or eight years ago IIRC, the band remastered both albums and made them available for free download. The files are uploaded as "sides" of a cassette, rather than individual songs, but they're albums made for listening to in one go, so that's only a minor inconvenience really.
So, IndieERA, may I present to you Cinematography and The Great Unfolding by Webcore. Enjoy :)

Wouldn't let me watch this embedded as an fyi, but I clicked through and am definitely digging this! Will check out the album.Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever are awesome and put out a great debut on Friday! Really impressed. Particularly love Talking Straight
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! The whole album rules. I think they're a very promising up and coming bandWouldn't let me watch this embedded as an fyi, but I clicked through and am definitely digging this! Will check out the album.
Ahh, they're Australian. No wonder it's good!
It turned out I had listened to their previous EP last year but all of the songs on this were new. I went ahead and listened to all of their back catalog more or less and just a lot of really great stuff.I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! The whole album rules. I think they're a very promising up and coming band
If you like 60s era pop, you're going to love this album (Cut Worms - Hollow Ground): https://open.spotify.com/album/5DjGD8R6AQvAWvH1MapfKK?si=4L34mx4QTTmPZkZxMEJbTQ
Cut Worms - Cash For Gold
So I finally listened to Cinematography. Solid diy post punk with some spooky gothic and electronic soundscapes. Can't say I was knocked on my ass, I never felt like it fully got out from under the shadow of Swell Maps, PiL, Eno--but I enjoyed it. If the cassette sides were split up into tracks I might listen to a couple of the songs on their own occasionally but idk if I'll go to the trouble of doing it myself.This isn't new by any stretch, quite the opposite in fact, but for indie/alternative fans, these two obscure, trippy albums from 1984 and 1987 are well worth hearing (they've both ended up in my all-time favourite indie albums since I discovered them a few years ago.)

Man, A Poem Unlimited is so good. That feeling when you've been sleeping on a great artist that's been putting out albums for 10 years. I have to listen to more of her discog
I saw Chelsea last year and she was indeed incredible. Emma Ruth Rundle as opener would have been amazing. Lucky!Saw Chelsea Wolfe last week. She obviously crushed it.
The opening gig was Emma Ruth Rundle and my my, she was mesmerizing.
If you're in the mood for some Parquet courts jam, I'm pretty into this record right now

New Metric single out last week. They seem to be going back to an older type of sound, something I quite appreciate, even if I didn't mind the synth direction.
Yeah, I really quite like Synthetica tracks like Lost Kitten and Speed the Collapse (especially in our current environment), but Pagans in Vegas never really stuck with me in the way that their previous albums did. I've quite liked Emily's more recent solo work though.I came to appreciate Synthetica but didn't even remember their last record. Regardless, I'm happy they're returning to their early sound.
It's not bad at all. They're great live
About to see My Bloody Valentine. What a life. Good thing I have ear plugs cause I can see about 15 amps lmao.
speaking of mbv...
live performance of an unreleased track, sounds like fuego
They just started playing live again and played a short snippet of a new song in those shows. Some fans think the text on their new merch point to a December release but they could also just be lyrics from the album or nothing at all. It's really a situation where there will be news when there's news. Nothing more to it than that.So has anyone heard anything about the new Vampire Weekend album? All I can find are articles dated a few months back about how close they are to being finished.
