this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

really lovely.

love sketches from an island so much i seriously considered paying 30 pounds + shipping for the t-shirt

^ the 'birds of paradise' one was super sick but it sold out like right away :(((

it was in my cart for a brief moment, but jfc @ that price

beautiful cover though

a hundred pounds for the two t-shirts + a sweatshirt was justifiable to me although attempting to defend it now on a messageboard i cant remember why it seemed so reasonable

lol i understand the impulse, i wouldn't wear a lot of things on a t-shirt but totally down to rep ifeel

fwiw i have never regretted spending a ton of money on my Studio t-shirt.

Mark was on Beats in Space last night. Super Balearic:

That Young Marco album is so lush.

Anyone else gonna get one of these new Test Pressing t-shirts?

Echoing the adulation for the Young Marco album.

Here to do the same. Found it on Spotify yesterday and just completed my 5th time through. So good. Need this on vinyl immediately.

Last track on the Mark Barrott beats in space mix really caught me unawares, even Tim S let it fade out w/o the obligatory chat. Lump in the throat stuff. Obv a check of the track list shows it's Sacred Islands, the closer to his album. Instant classic for me.

that mark barrott album is so great! "dr nimm's garden of intrigue & delight" >>>>>>

agh my copy doesn't have this :(

Only got the chance to listen to half the Mark Barrott album this morning but 'Deep Water' is incredible, it's like the intro to Halcyon + On + On stretched out over six minutes.

agh my copy doesn't have this :(

Yeah, I think it's CD/vinyl only unless you got a digital copy from iTunes

Cheers groovypanda!

"deep water" <3

Debut album from Manchester's Horsebeach is out next week and the bits I've heard sound really good. Kind of a Durutti Column/Studio in post punk mode
flavour to some of the tracks

loving those, but it might need to get shelved until september, def more autumnal vibes than summery

The whole album is streaming on Soundcloud now. This track's ace:

Damn, this Horsebeach is hitting all of my pleasure zones. Thanks for the tip.

Yep, love this so much I just pre-ordered the LP. I could listen to this sound all day (and today, I think I will).

incredible stuff but i agree with gr80 on the autumnal vibe

it's great and imo late-summerish enough to be listened to directly.

god the young marco record is the best

I should note that Young Marco killed it at Dekmantel Festival over the weekend. Great vibes and perfect weather as well.

Really enjoying the Eleventeen Eston album

Slow on this but the Nautic EP is pretty pleasant in a drifty kind of way. Singer is Laura Groves fka Blue Roses

totally loving the Horsebeach album.

its on spotify btw

"its like if the band Real Estate were simultaneously more beach AND more gothy" -- me describing horsebeach to a friend

It's not really dance-y, but the new Roisin Murphy mini-lp of Italian covers is super chill and was partially recorded in Ibiza. Recommended. Maybe on more of a sebastien tellier trip but man it's good.

horsebeach type stuff is prob as "indie" as my listening habits get these days, i kinda prefer the embassy to horsebeach but they're both better than the crepes

Just bought the Bar album after reading this Testpressing write up:

http://testpressing.org/2014/09/bar-welcome-to-bar-italic/

Sounding great so far and only £3.86 for the entire album over on Juno if you use the code DANCE20:

You can listen to the whole thing here:

anyone got a good best of '14 youtube/spotify playlist going? i'm so out of the loop on my balearic revivalism these days

The Testpressing reviews page is as good a starting point as any:

Don't know if it's come up elsewhere, but this Bager mix is a super treat: https://soundcloud.com/growingbinrecords/music-for-dreams-1

but i am really enjoying the new riton album - eine kleine nacht musik.

this album still works for me, certainly a lot more than the usual riton groove ..

time he made a follow up to this.

Updating to say that after having the LP for a month or so, and listening on Spotify a bunch, this Horsebeach album is def. hitting the top 3 in my Album of the Year list.

yah i feel like theres a lot of ILM who'd never open this thread but would really enjoy it

all my new age friends, check it: http://andrasfox.bandcamp.com/album/overworld

been sitting on this for a while b/c i wasn't quite sure where to post about it, balearic enough, i guess
