In recent years I've found myself discovering less new music/bands. I think I've resigned myself to that middle age maxim of I know what I like and I like what I've got. The curiosity of my 20s has waned somewhat. That said I got into Langhorn Slim (alt country a-like) some months ago and have rekindled my liking for Sparklehorse.
From your description, Protomartyr sound like exactly the thing I would have been into in the 90s, I'll have a listen tonight
Ooh, I forgot this thread as well. Since I like Sparklehorse I will check that one out.
Currently pretty HYPE is the new Black Midi album. The singer’s got a pretty damn annoying voice and lyrics, but somehow he’s so committed to it that he comes out into good again. Meanwhile the playing of the rock music is excellent. It’s a winner!
Got through half the protomartyr album last night. There interesting stuff there, I think it's one of those bands that will grow on me over time. I'm fine check out the back catalogue and start listening to their earlier stuff.
Honestly that album seemed the peak for me, I haven't got as much out of the earlier or later stuff so far. But I've not tried very hard either. But yeah, Relatives wasn't an immediate hit for me, or at least not to the degree it ended up.
