OK, so I want to start putting together lists of new music I've been listening to recently, and while some "quarters" may not have much I want to at least try so that I can personally keep up with the new releases myself! So, here are my picks from the first quarter of 2018...
- "Always Ascending", Franz Ferdinand

The 5th studio album from Franz Ferdinand. I remember hearing the title track on the radio towards the end of last year, so thought I'd check the album out once it was released. I quite like the way the album flows and how the different sounds integrate. And, I love the way the album starts - on the radio, the intro into the song is cut so the first time I heard the album version I was pleasantly surprised!
- "Thought Contagion", Muse

2nd of their recent stand-alone singles, following "Dig Down". Must say that this one is more of a grower for me, as in that I wasn't too sure about it at first listen, but somehow it has sort of... worked its way in. Like a contagion, haha! - no, just kidding (but had to be done!)!
- "Moon Unit/Victory Girls", Flyte

And, some new songs/artists I've discovered on the radio. I think there is still room for radio, and finding shows that I like has meant that there are new artists that I discover, which is brilliant! These artists all have an album being released soon, which I'm looking forward to! Have a listen to selected tracks
- "The Man", Goat Girl
- "The Club" - Hinds
Hope you enjoy my selection, and do let me know if there are other songs you think I should listen to!
