Go ahead and add Whitney "Light Upon the Lake" to my list. Killer record

yeah my bf really likes that Whitney too. I haven't heard it yet but will check it out. I have Kevin Morby to check out too, he likes that one a lot too.

I liked the new Jayhawks on first listen. seeing them Friday night too!

[Come Closer]

^ Yup this has been growing on me big time. I thought it was ok at first, but now I can't stop playing it. Infectious melodies and the arrangements with the horn are great.

It's really, really great.  So many quotable lines.

[Lucius]

Lucius - Good Grief (Fantastic "kooky" pop album, saw them live last month and they are FLAWLESS performers -- I actually signed up with this username not knowing they had any connection to MMJ!)

Band of Skulls - By Default (Great album if you're a fan of disco-rock, their previous three albums are more hard hitting)

Ladyhawke - Wild Things (Another one that puts on a great show!)

Santigold - 99c (Great album but I'm pissed at her right now for cancelling her show in Manchester)

Niki & The Dove - Everybody's Heart Is Broken Now (Few people pull off the whole 70s/80s throwback this flawlessly - one song sounds like a lost Fleetwood Mac classic - bold claim but true)

The Joy Formidable - Hitch (The video for 'Last Thing On My Mind' is genius - it addresses the uneven balance between male and female sexuality in music - very hypnotic!)

This is by far my favourite song and video of the year (so far)

looking forward to hearing Whitney's debut album that is released tomorrow. Love the first couple of singles:

[Come Closer]

It's very good, really has grown on me. Middle of it dips in quality slightly, but they keep it short enough where it's a great listen. There's a 3rd single out.

William Tyler - Modern Country.

May be his best yet.  His other albums 'Behold the Spirit' and 'Impossible Truth' are both incredible as well.

Whitney - A Light Upon the Lake

Everyone on this forum should give this a listen.

i have to sneak listens in at home when the wife is away. She can't get past Julian's voice.

But, I agree, a pretty great album.

[LBSUNFLWR]

every time I listen to Carl's album I like it more and more. It will definitely be in my 2016 Top 10!
