Wow, you weren’t kidding there. Not quite as sparse, but for The Killers this is going to be about as close as you can get.
Not quite sure yet whether it’ll grow to be a great album, but on first listen I’m enjoying it a lot more than any of their albums since Sam’s Town. This year’s return to form album?
I mean, I already thought Imploding the Mirage was an obvious return to form (those songs will hit hard on the 2022 tour). But Pressure Machine confirms it.
The still of Bruce looks like a terrible Photoshop football fans make of a long-dead manager from their glorious past watching over the current team from “heaven”
Some new release singles I’ve been checking out this week:
Notchyy - Waiting (single)
Downtempo house
Liz Lawrence - Drive (single)
Latest of the five tracks released so far from the upcoming alt-pop album. Album out in mid-Sept. Can’t wait.
The Charlatans - Tellin’ Stories (The Go! Team remix) (single)
I like The Charlatans. I like The Go! Team. But I don’t like this.
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Emile Mosseri - Log In Your Fire (single)
Very much looking forward to the rest of this short collaboration. This is the first release from it - experimental ambient electronica
The album up for sale is described as the first of a two part collaborative album. Bit confusing. Think I’ll wait and see how the whole thing gets released before buying. Big fan of both artists though so really looking forward to it.
Another new release week draws to a close. Last week, Liars were the board favourites, with a three-way tie for second between Laura Stevenson, Lingua Ignota and Ty Segall.
