With the new album I could definitely see them having a chance to get on the site. It's certainly got more 'rock' than the previous one, which was more in the nu jazz bracket. Though anyone who likes one will probably like the other, I reckon.
I only know the new one but I'll be sure to check out the debut, thanks mate.
The term nu-jazz sounds so incredibly boring and unfit when one considers the albums that have been made under the moniker. Xploding Plastix' Amateur Girlfriends Go Proskirt Agents fx is soooo far removed from "jazz" that simply putting a nu in front of it rather ends up denigrating an otherwise brilliant album.

Only listened to this over bandcamp but this young Brazilian is surely one to look out for in the upcoming years. He is one heck of a musician!!! (Too bad the drums sound like a 9 year old Mick PointerOuch)
If you dig ELP, The Nice or any of those old school organ dominated pork jock bands, you're most likely going to adore this kid:

I just checked out a new album on the RAIG bandcamp site, Künstler sch***e by Alex's Hand:


Very nice indeed.

I haven't made a proper list on this thread yet because I am woefully behind in hearing, let alone buying, all the promising stuff that is coming out. 2016 is throwing too much good music at me!

Easily the Winstons debut album for me! An Italian trio overdosing on the early Soft Machine/Robert Wyatt/Supersister Canterbury sound albums as well as a healthy dose of early Pink Floyd. Just a knockout debut!

So far:

Deftones - Gore
Heron Oblivion - s/t
Black Mountain - IV
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
Haken - Affinity
Gojira - Magma
David Bowie - Blackstar
Steven Wilson - 4 1/2
The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness
Thank You Scientist - Stranger Heads Prevail
Oranssi Pazuzu - Varahtelija

A few surprises this year!  Heron Oblivion and Oranssi came out of nowhere for me, while Pineapple Thief and Radiohead release their best albums in years!  Then add Deftones, Bowie and SWilson with Opeth still to go, and 2016 is looking to be a strong year!

From what I've heard, I believe the new North Sea Radio Orchestra, Dronne,  will be in my top 10 albums of the year. Now just waiting for the CD to be available in the US.

Gong's new album, Rejoice! I'm Dead!, is outstanding, and will very probably make my top 5 for this year.
