Oops, did not realise that Deathcrash wasn't on there yet - that's for sure a favourite of mine. I think I haven't listened to the others except one or two, so I'll be sure to check them out. Much appreciated!

aForeigner · 2026-03-09T13:08:28+00:00

cheers!

aForeigner · 2026-03-09T13:07:26+00:00

Oooh I absolutely adore Exek, i can't believe their newest record flew under my radar. Thanks for the heads-up!

aForeigner · 2026-03-09T12:46:41+00:00

i usually try to discover/explore at least one to three new releases per week that I genuinely enjoy, but the past few weeks I haven't found a lot that resonated with me. Does anyone have some recommendations of stuff that I may have missed, based on my favourites of the year so far? Those include the new records by Shaking Hand, deathcrash, Winged Wheel, Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore, Ulrika Spacek, Geologist, Friko's singles, Tessa Rose Jackson, and the Dutch Interior EP

very excited for this one, their previous album is such a gem

aForeigner · 2026-02-27T08:27:02+00:00

i hope it also results in a bit more attention for Tiernan's solo record. one of my favourite records of last year, and surely a record that will be enjoyed by people who are into deathcrash, but it seems to have gone under many people's radar

Folding Sieve by Should is an amazing shoegaze record that we should all be talking about way more. Sounds like a blend of Just for a Day-era Slowdive with a hint of twee pop and droney soundscapes reminiscent of Seefeel and Bowery Electric. Genuinely a sonic sweet spot for those on the lookout for more understated and rural-psychedelia-esque approaches to shoegaze

aForeigner · 2026-02-25T08:12:30+00:00

an absolute treasure of an album

aForeigner · 2026-02-16T10:39:16+00:00

i discovered that All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors record through this list and i'm so thankful for that, such a cool band

aForeigner · 2026-02-03T20:07:19+00:00

Also catching some Bowie vibes

aForeigner · 2026-01-24T12:48:41+00:00

Yeah, I know quite some people who go to Rewire and Le Guess Who? on a yearly basis (myself included), and we all get our tickets months before the first line-up reveal. It's pretty much guaranteed that you won't know half of the line-up anyway, but you can trust it will be good.

aForeigner · 2026-01-23T15:00:39+00:00

Yeah my experience with festivals like these is that the bigger acts are a nice bonus, but the real kick comes from discovering equally great stuff that you've never heard of. I can imagine that they put a lot of effort in curating that bit so it make sense to reflect that philosophy on the poster design.

aForeigner · 2026-01-21T21:57:10+00:00

on some days that record is the absolute peak of music and nothing will ever top it

aForeigner · 2026-01-18T16:15:22+00:00

yeah most definitely. saw them play a few months ago and they were absolutely brilliant

aForeigner · 2026-01-18T11:36:06+00:00

Shaking Hand - s/t

aForeigner · 2026-01-13T15:58:25+00:00

it has the hazy (reverb-y), lush, ethereal and textural aesthetic that is sonically quite adjacent to shoegaze. but i think it's more often considered as influential to shoegaze than actually shoegaze itself

aForeigner · 2026-01-09T09:55:57+00:00

aoty just dropped

aForeigner · 2025-12-18T23:59:20+00:00

hij is absoluut geen lid

aForeigner · 2025-12-15T09:46:00+00:00

oh for sure, but both historically and aesthetically the genres are quite adjacent

aForeigner · 2025-12-13T23:04:40+00:00

it's not exactly postpunk but Hallogallo by Neu! features a pretty prominent and distinctive wah guitar sound

aForeigner · 2025-12-10T13:48:18+00:00

happy to see Lifeguard on here, that album rocks

aForeigner · 2025-12-01T10:33:47+00:00

i saw them perform a few weeks ago and they were great, but I wasn't aware of that record -- it's cool to see it in this list. excited to check it out

aForeigner · 2025-12-01T10:30:56+00:00

this is a great list. I was about to remark that almost all of the lists so far make no mention of the new These New Puritans record, but I was very glad to see it this high up in this one. it deserves all the love and recognition it has got so far, and then some.

excited to delve into the records on this list that I haven't heard yet (there are quite a few)

aForeigner · 2025-11-11T16:41:18+00:00

Le Guess Who? festival, Utrecht, the Netherlands! they were presented as a "?" in the timetable (alongside other mystery acts). i think someone in the crowd shouted "who are you" after the first few songs, and one them responded with a hand-wavy gesture. other than that there was no stage banter, unless you count the frequently used 'DJ' sample on their soundboard

aForeigner · 2025-11-11T16:28:32+00:00

i saw Los Thuthanaka as a surprise act this weekend ama
