New Dad

Posted on

Not me. I’m an old dad.

But because I’ve got a rather busy rest of the day following on from my rather busy morning, please find some (paradoxically) old New Dad below.

Galway band. Dream pop, shoegaze, indie rock. What’s not to like?

They have a new video out today, but for me, that track (Let Go) is more of a listen than a watch, if that makes sense?

And a new album in January, which will probably be right up there for the 6000 miles… Album of the Year 2024, if the world still exists.

Incidentally, the 2023 competition – traditionally announced in December – will almost certainly be chosen from one of two contenders, both of whom have been mentioned a lot on here this year.

If the world still exists.

Day 379 – New Music

Posted on

I know that music posts don’t always go down very well on here. Different strokes for different folks and all that.

But if you are looking for something new to listen to, here are a couple of suggestions from 6000 HQ:

How about some New Dad? Their latest one, Slowly – following on from their desperate cry against the horrors of depression I Don’t Recognise You – is wonderful alternative indie, almost shoegazy stuff.

Hear more of their stuff on Spotify.

And then The Lathums (it’s a short, sharp A, ok?). Their new one Oh My Love is so new that the video only premieres later today. More indie, but a bit more folky indie. Think The Coral or The Farm, a touch of Arctic Monkeys or maybe even a bit of Doves.

Short and sweet. [Spotify]

I’ve been compiling a Spotify playlist of stuff I have enjoyed in 2021. It doesn’t have to specifically be from 2021 (and indeed, much of it isn’t), but if I hear something and I like it, it goes in.
Both these songs have made the grade. I mean… obviously.

Please enjoy and share, should you be that way inclined.
