Lots of new (to me) music

motorharpA Winged Victory for the Sullen playing Minuet for a Cheap Piano No. 1 has that intimate, closely recorded piano sound I like. Can't find a separate recording of it, but it's here on all songs considered. Very spare and relaxing. Off their new EP out at the end of April titled Atomos VII.
Swans have a new album coming out mid-May. The song A Little God In My Hands is densely layered and dark and makes me want more.
I think I'd like to check out more Metronomy. Retro electronic music with a tiny tinge of sadness. Boy Racer is one of their instrumentals.
The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger is Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl. Too Deep can be found again at all songs. The kind of psychedelic rock I like. Album out late April.
More punk jazz? I thought The Lounge Lizards were the only ones. Melt Yourself Down out of London may fill that hole. Great sax and beats. Oh! And they are on bandcamp! Be careful with the video below if you are at all epileptic. It's flashy.
I'm on the fence about Sylvan Esso. I like the sounds they use, but not sure about how they use them. The street noise and the bass in Hey Mami is right up my alley.
Jambinai uses a geomungo amongst their metal guitars? And other traditional instruments? This Korean band creates dark landscapes that need a second (and third and xnth) listens. Time of Extinction is epic.
Described as a "garage rock version of Joy Division", Protomartyr is something I'd probably listen to in high school on a cloudy fall Saturday when I had nothing to do. Check out Maidenhead.
