Old Amica - Debris Sides
Plenty of new releases today, but I just wanted to start with a new EP from my favourite band, Old Amica. It’s a five track EP, with songs that didn’t fit onto their debut album 11 years ago.
Folky slowcore with muted electronics, and great to hear the singer’s voice again (after last year’s instrumental album).
PWYW on Bandcamp (as is most of their music)

Molly Lewis - On The Lips
Probably the only debut album from a professional whistler released today.
“a deft odyssey through exotica, jazz clubs, bossa nova beats and Italian cinema powered by the pathos of Lewis’ whistling.”

Raphael Gimenes - DINAMARCA
Copenhagen-based Brazilian musician, singing about this experience/life in Denmark. Sounds quite beautiful and string-drenched from the first two tracks.
San Fermin - Arms
Fifth album from this orchestral-pop collective.
Bingo Fury - Bats Feet For A Widow
Debut album from this Bristol-based musician. Sort of speaking singing, maybe like a slowed down quieter version of Yard Act?
“Bats Feet For A Widow is full of strange experiments, obscure references, offbeat one-liners, heart-breaking sentimentality and surging creativity. At the heart of it all is Bingo Fury’s crooning bass vocal, lending a vivid and slyly humorous voice to universal themes of love and pain.”
Alto Aria - Limerence
Danish musician who I came across last year when trying to find a new artist for the radio round of Music League. She reminded me or Soap&Skin at the time, and this album was released on Valentines day for the broken hearted apparently.
Radiotrónica - De otro mundo
A Mexican musician “who has developed his own style that fuses psychedelia, alter-Latin rock, cosmic indie, incidental music, tropicalia and a mestizo imaginary that meanders between extraterrestrial and earthly pop. With Radiotronica, Roy has created an alter ego that communicates with the inner space of terrestrial pop through the radio waves, decoding the messages it captures from unknown worlds.”
Henry Nowhere - bounty
Laid back instrumental tunes, warm guitars and muted keyboard sounds.

The first song sounds quite lovely and sumptuous.

Far Out Magazine’s record of the week. Brighton band finally releasing their debut album, indie-electro pop.
Tape Junk & Pedro Branco - Bolero
Portuguese duo collaborating for a very slow and melancholic relaxed sounding indie folk album.

serpentwithfeet - GRIP
GRIP finds its home on the dance floor of Black gay clubs and the intimate moments that happen there and afterward, no matter the location. For serpent, Black gay nightlife spaces “raised him a second time.” These clubs provided a different sense of welcoming that nurtured him in a new way exhibited on GRIP.

Quadeca - SCRAPYARD
Art pop, Experimental hip hop
Normal Nada the Krakmaxter - Tubo de Ensaio
On Nyege Nyege Tapes. Boomkat blurb: Príncipe cohort Normal Nada returns to Nyege with another delirious set of screwed batida variants, decomposing Afro-house, “psychedelic African trance”, soca, ragga, and even throwing in a slippery tribute to Nate Dogg. Essential dancers’ biz for anyone yearning for late, sweaty nights.

Can someone add the “new music Friday” tag to this so it notifies those of us with the alert set up?

Laura Jane Grace - Hole In My Head
Against Me! frontwoman’s newest solo album. The singles released ahead of this sounded like Against Me! so so folk tinged punk. Think this will be fun.

Nathalie Joachim - Ki Moun Ou Ye
Experimental pop, lovely vocals, electronic. From the Brooklyn-based, Haitian-American artist.
As The Quietus says: when the Juilliard-trained flautist Nathalie Joachim started writing rhythmic avant-pop songs, she described it as her “reverse Andre 3000” moment.
I like it. Maybe also good for those trying to wean themselves off jazz flute…?
edit: flute detected on track 7.
edit 2: flute all over track 1. how did I miss it?
