How about some new music to keep us going? What  you got? Here's some of my recent favourites. 

I'm not a huge hip hop fan and don't like the da dada can't be bothered, mumbling rap style that's popular just now, but I really like this  youtube.com/watch?v=NTKUgPwZzcc& 

Some excellent indie rock  youtube.com/watch?v=U-Ti1v4w82k&

And the delightfully named Jockstrap  youtube.com/watch?v=oOXho8yVaKk&

I have enjoyed hearing Jockstrap when they’ve been on the radio, I’ll have a more focused listen later, thanks for the reminder.

That Mysterines video was filmed at New Brighton. Childhood memories .....

This is a brand new band recently getting airtime on R1 and lots of offers to tour from established names. The lead singer's dad, who's a good mate of mine and a gifted multi-instrumentalist, recorded with the Fall, Paul Weller, Robert Plant, KT Tunstall, Inspiral Carpets, I am Kloot. Quite a roll-call. Father and son are both dashingly handsome. The band are all still at school as far as I know. Catch them early.

I've been enjoying Fontaines DC - generally short, fast, punky stuff.

I remember hearing Lia from The Mysterines on 6Music (Steve Lamacq's Thursday "round robin" casually mentioning that she doesn't have many 1970s influences because even HER MUM was born in the 1980s. That was a good "how OLD are WE?" moment

The new album (The Bonny) by Gerry Cinnamon's worth a listen...

As I'm still interested in new music, and I'm old, I have those moments fairly often these days...

Fontaines DC are fantastic, as are The Murder Capital which are a bit more shoegazey.

I need to check out The Murder Capital - my brother-in-law saw them before the lockdown and really enjoyed it.  Cheers.

I like that. Particularly liked the tempo changes.

I'm enjoying the new one from Baxter Dury. I was a fan of his dad's stuff but haven't heard much of Baxter's output.  youtube.com/watch?v=x_x9tB2Qsyk&

Another of their songs is the backing to the latest 6Music advert. And they’re only 17 years old. Imagine!

more new electronica by nathan fake: youtube.com/watch?v=Xpw3MBuZkEs&

In reply to malk:

I enjoyed that. I have Hard Islands, which I like, and Drowning In A Sea Of Love, which I love. Saw him supporting Orbital 7/8 years ago and he was excellent. Live he had a harder, dancier sound, but still with trippy beauty, and sounded amazing through Orbital's sound system. But I haven't heard anything new from him for ages, so thanks for that.

She was previously Beth Jeans Houghton, and was very good, in a rather different direction.

Mentioned a few times on here and both bands/artists have been releasing stuff for at least 12 years but I am still listening lots to Haiku Salut (lovely "organic, warm" instrumental electronica) and Laura Gibson (singer songwriter)

OP aln 13 May 2020
In reply to Blue Straggler:

Despite the lack of a link... I listened to Haiku Salut on their Bandcamp page.

> lovely "organic, warm" instrumental electronica 

They describe themselves as - Baroque-pop folktronic neo-classical something-or-other, which amused me. They were good in a background music kinda way, don't know if there's enough for a deeper listen. Did you listen to any more of Jockstrap?

In reply to aln:

Vague memories (if memory can be trusted) of seeing Haiku Salut years ago at Indie Tracks up in Derby.

Had totally forgotten about them. Cheers for reminding me

Not particularly directing this at you aln, it’s a more general comment/question

WHAT is the obsession with whingeing in a slightly passive-aggressive way whenever a link isn’t provided? I genuinely don’t get it. I don’t think I’ve ever complained in the cases where something is totally simple to find with a basic search.

Hey man, I really like some of that. The edits are brutally short, which is really brave - I have a tendency to let tunes wank on for way too long and yours are much more effective for their brevity. V impressed.

I know you said not directed at me, but... I wasn't whingeing, it was meant as a kinda poke at myself, going back to a previous music thread where I commented on the lack of a link, and you pitched in. I never comment on it the way people do when they're arguing about politics or statistics or something, but I think when people are recommending music it's the least they can do. Good manners even, and I always do it myself. 

BTW, I don't know what passive/aggressive means.

I don’t like the way UKC embeds YouTube (I know I could copy and paste the URL) and I’m not always so keen on someone saying THIS is the track YOU must hear first, so I feel I am displaying GOOD manners by not “forcing” specific tracks on people. This can run the risk of them finding a weak or uncharacteristic track but I am happy to take that risk in preference to being too prescriptive. 

Further, I did notice in your OP that you named only one of the three bands. I don’t think it is good manners at all to expect people to just click on a YouTube link. You might say it makes no difference if you’ve described the genre and people didn’t know the band name anyway, and they’ll see it soon enough, but hey, “good manners” is obviously subjective.

Anyone that does not want to investigate something I recommend, on the grounds that I didn’t provide a link, is welcome to ignore it. I don’t care. But waffling on about it seems silly.

And what is it with half of UKC claiming that they don’t know what “passive-aggressive” means? It’s like it’s the new “I don’t have a television”!

I don't know what you mean about embedding, but the rest of your points are fair enough.

That's a good point and I accept it.

And what is it with half of UKC claiming that they don’t know what “passive-aggressive” means?

I really don't, UKC was the 1st time I saw the term and I've never heard anyone use it in conversation. And after reading explanations on the net I'm still not sure I understand the term. 

In reply to Blue Straggler:

I think that's entirely reasonable. They don't want you to go away. So when you close the embedded YouTube page, you're still with UKC.

In reply to Gordon Stainforth:

I know it's entirely reasonable, for the obvious reason that you state, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I was not criticising UKC.

Electronic genre  - 

Discovered the absolutely excellent album ‘Monsters’ by The Bower Brothers 

Unforscene - New World Order also has some input from them and is another top album.
