still too lazy to write a post about recommendations but i heard rumors that new mew album's name is some poem. what the hell.
also new dredg is p.awesome. i was actually getting really bored of dredg and catch without arms is kinda boring to me nowadays but the new album is pretty different and varying and is more like el cielo than cwa so that was a really positive surprise because i was expecting another catch without arms based on the clips i had heard and my hopes weren't very high. the only thing i dislike on the new album is the fucking post-rock guitar in some songs.
dom have you heard cut copy? you might like em. electropops. they are pretty popular i think so my bet is you already know them though.
and amplifier sounds almost nothing like porcupine tree, at least i can't see the similarities. their first album was pretty similar to oceansize, to the point you could tell they were definitely influenced by them. the second album had maybe one or two decent songs and was mostly some boring rock no one should care about.
