February 24th will see The Luyas will release their new full-length album Human Voicing on Paper Bag Records. The band debuted the album’s first single “Self-Unemployed” via Noisey who called the track “…the kind of mesmerizing collage that’s come to define the Luyas at ten years strong”. Read Noisey’s interview with the band’s Jessie Stein and listen to the track here.
Montreal band The Luyas have been playing music together since 2006 when, what began as, a collaboration between Jessie Stein, Pietro Amato, and Stefan Schneider shifted to include Mathieu Charbonneau, Bucky Wheaton and Michael Feuerstack. Through many tours and personnel adjustments, no love has been lost between these friends. The band’s new album, Human Voicing is a leap of faith taken together by all 6 musicians.
You can pre-order Human Voicing from Paper Bag Records.
Thanks Russ
Good morning!

Good morning!
Good morning!
Happy to help.
Hello all!
I like The Luyas track. I enjoy the layers of stuff going on in it.
Good morning! I like Kate Tempest (thanks to kexp)
Good morning everyone!
I usually like the Luyas but don’t like this track. Too chaotic and scattered for me, those types audio patterns drive me up the wall half the time.
Jessie Stein is very pretty and has a beautiful smile.
Listening to CITR.
@justin – And that is exactly what I like about it. It tends to bore me if it is just pretty voices with a 4/4 beat.
The loooooong-awaited second album from The Avalanches and Nick Cave’s mournful Skeleton Tree are in the running for the 12th annual Australian Music Prize.
The AMP is modelled on the Mercury Prize and Canada’s Polaris Prize and is decided by a music industry panel.
A longlist was whittled down to a final list of ten with the winner to be announced on 8 March in Sydney where they will receive a large comedy cheque worth A$30,000 (£18,400).
The afore-mentioned King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are in there with their psych record Nonagon Infinity. Two great names right there.
Last year’s winner was Courtney Barnett.
Here is the list:
A.B. Original – Reclaim Australia
The Avalanches – Wildflower
Big Scary – Animal
Camp Cope – Camp Cope
D.D Dumbo – Utopia Defeated
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Nonagon Infinity
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – Skeleton Tree
Olympia – Self Talk
The Peep Tempel – Joy

I am going to check some tunes out from that.
AMP playlist
The first song on there is the only one on Spotify that had A.B. Original on it. Not sure what the album sounds like.
Nick Cave, King Gizzard and The Peep Tempei are my favs on there.
@DBS, Thank you for doing that
I’m looking forward to checking out the AMP playlist a little later. I made the mistake of forgetting headphones in the office today, so got to listen to the conversations of co-workers all day instead.
The cat walked across the lappy and now everything is red.
No problem Garf.
This is just me thinking in public but has anyone here tried the ampme app? I was thinking we could use it to create our own radio station via the backdoor (yes you may hi-o)
Not I.
Nor me

I was playing around with it on my kindle (don’t ask) and it looks interesting but it didn’t like running in the background
I’ll play around with it a bit more and see what I can come up with for Monday
I haven’t read it over but a quick look and it seems to be for people in the same room no?
You can share a link to your stream online so anyone can join the party
That would be cool.
from the faq
How many people can join the party?
The sky’s the limit!!! Host an online party, share the link with your friends (and, strangers – if you want). As a matter of fact, we dare you to give it a try. Throw a party, share the link and try to get as many people as you can to join. Let us know how many people joined your party. Who knows, it may be a world record? 😉
Awesome!
speaking of lots going on, I’m going to see holy duck on Saturday.
it should be ducking awesome. I’m listening to them right now.
I have the Luyas last album. IIRC, it was pretty good.
I find Weaves kind of affects me the way Justin mentions. Maybe I just wrote them off after that first song that had the guitar bit that drove me up the wall…
@krib, have fun (if all else fails just think of my envy and smile)
G’night folks
I love Weaves!!!!
