Alright! Got my first favorite of 2019 and nobody has started the new thread yet so :Pedro the Lion - Phoenixhttps://pedrothelion.bandcamp.com/album/phoenixFirst album as Pedro the Lion in a long time, Phoenix is about David Bazan growing up in Arizona. Got sent the album a week early and haven't been able to listen to anything else.

Quantum Field by Pogo is the best thing I've heard thus far. Toro Y Moi and Panda Bear were as middling as I expected.

Got sent the album a week early and haven't been able to listen to anything else.This is pretty cool. Bazan is from my old neighborhood in North Phoenix. I was friends with his cousins Joel and Chris. Fun to hear him name off the road names on the last song.

Great Deceivers - In SpiritThis one is super catchy, great riffs, bass is nice and thick. Kinda reminds me of that Animal Places album from a couple years ago or some Two Inch Astronaut. Good stuff!https://greatdeceivers.bandcamp.com/album/in-spirit

The new Mono album, Nowhere Now Here. The album cover makes a nice phone background.

The new GBV....Holy shit! They are totally at the top of their game.

The new Cass McCombs LP, Tip of the Sphere. He's a very good songwriter.

HEADS above any other album he's done under this name (I like the Overseas one a bit more). Totally catchy, driving music here. Love it.
