I feel like im supposed to rattle off several bands named after shampoo ingredients or something

Outside of Mdou Moctar and Parannoul (neither of which are English), I don’t really see what is so odd about these band names.

I look forward to your recs. Off to check some of these out, especially Squid and new The Hold Steady.

Jesus I’ve heard of the hold steady and that’s fricking it. This is alt as hell.
Edit: I could barely make it through half a song on your number 1 album. That guys singing is fricking arse

A few years back on a similar thread, I literally made up 10 band names and 10 corresponding albums.
Got a couple thumbs up, couple thumbs down, and not one person called me out saying they had never heard of any of the bands on my list.

I have no idea about anything on your list (maybe because I'm too focused on mainstream pop, but I'll gladly give them a listen), but I think my favorite album for the year is Lorde's Solar Power. It is not yet released as of now, but I just know that a new wave of pop is going to be unleashed. :D

Pretty deep-alt list. I'll check out Mdou Moctar based on the Pitchfork review. And Earth Man Blues to see if it's actually bluesy.
Manchester Orchestra's new one has 4-5 good songs on it. I listened to some more of Lord Huron's new one yesterday; need to listen some more too on that one.
Also like the new Black Keys, even though it's a covers album.
Heard Japanese Breakfast's Be Sweet on Sirius recently. Good dreamy dance vibe that should play well at our tailgates after the gals have had a few drinks.

The guitar play on that Mdou Moctar album is fantastic. Him being called the “Hendrix of the Sahara” is fitting. Other than it not being in English, I think it would have more appeal to this board than any other album I listed.
Earth Man Blues is not bluesy, but if you like GbV, it is a really solid entry in their massive discography.

Just looked them up. Didn't realize they've been around almost 40 years!

Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes are classic lo-fi indie rock records.

I have about a 10% hit rate on Seaward's stuff. 90% I find unlistenable but he has expanded my horizons.
Posted on 6/23/21 at 12:24 pm to The Seaward
I can't even name 10 that I liked. But these are my standouts.
Weezer - OK Human
Weezer - Van Weezer
King Gizzard - 3000 Butterfly
Lord Huron

Thus far, 2021 has sucked for complete albums. Maybe a Covid run off, production delays etc. Not sure. Just not a good full album cycle.

Matt Sweeney/Bonnie Prince Billy- Superwolves
I've really been waiting for this one to be released physically, so I haven't listened... Superwolf was one of my favorite records of the 00's..
quote:
Mdou Moctar- Afrique Victime
I got this one about ~month ago to see what it was all about... It's a pretty cool sounding record... I really like it, though I wonder how often in the coming years I will pull it out for a listen..
