gannnet - Greenhouse
Debut EP of odd wonky pop from Sheffield. “Exploring environmental issues and climate change through pOP music”
New one on Merge records from Greg Cartwright’s Reigning Sound (ex Oblivians/Compulsive Gamblers).
Americana/powerpop ffo: Big Star/Teenage Fanclub/The Replacements.
CHAI - WINK
Third album of pop-punk from Tokyo. Gets a positive review in The Quietus.
New Murcof record
Couple of releases to get excited about in rap today:
First track was released back in December, but he made us wait 5 months for the second track for some reason.
I really must have missed his solo career - i thought he was doing folky stuff?
Im not instantly keen, its perhaps nice but there is no way I would know this is roddy - doesnt even sound like his voice…where has his accent gone?
Nice but odd (as someone who has perhaps missed his solo journey)
This sounds quite nice on first listen - for fans of fleet foxes perhaps
Really enjoying the Lambchop album
James Francies - Purest Form
New release on Blue Note from the Houston native pianist/producer/composer. Wide-screen, technicolour, experimental soulful groovy jazz. Sounds massive so far.
@incomplete heads up, since you turned us on to the LP earlier this year.
Prequel - I Still Love You
EP that seems to follow similar themes of loss and heartbreak as the brilliant album before it - melancholy house that melds influences from soul, jazz, hip-hop and samba.
Sparse week for me but I’m loving the Angel Olsen/Sharon Van Etten collaboration. Their voices sound great together and the song sounds like Born to Run. Also three new Lana Del Rey songs and the Lambchop album.
Been looking forward to this for a while and it is not disappointing.
I really enjoyed the EP he released the other year. Nice to hear him try something different. I’m looking forward to this one!
Not new out today, but this came out on Wednesday & I forgot to post :
3rd single off the upcoming album due out in June. It’s a good one imo
Three big releases for me today, all from artists that made great albums just last year.
New one from blackgaze outfit An Autumn For Crippled Children, terrible name but last year’s album was excellent, for fans of Deafheaven, Alcest etc.
A new one already from Borgne, last year’s was in my end of year top ten. Industrial black metal.
And another artist I didn’t expect to be releasing another album so soon, 12 months on from his last huge release we have another massive album of avant garde, multi instrument black metal from Esoctrilihum
Pink Siifu’s DELUXE version of 2020’s NEGRO adds an extra 59 minutes and 20 tracks to what was originally a 37 minute, 20 track album. Think that counts as a new release to me.
new Dadi Freyr EP
Mannequin Pussy have a new ep out
Think the only thing i’ve got on my list is the new FACS album. Slighty abstract arty post-punk I guess.
