Darlynn - Dyke Den
Daria Lourd (Bored Lord) + her wife, vocalist Jaelynn Walls = DARLYNN on their debut shot of Jersey club meets ‘90s R&B, woozy garage house and vintage psych-funk flavours.
“Dyke Den is a lesbian love story about two creative individuals finding each other and themselves through effusive and contemplative sonic avenues. Created in their home over the course of two years, this album speaks to the journey of Daria and Jaelynn’s romantic relationship as well as their evolving combined creative impulses”

Weezer - Weezer
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me umpteen times, ah! You’ve fooled me again. The reviews sound promising, this could even be their best album since one of their other slightly underwhelming albums that was at least better than some of their other dire albums.

Quite a big day today, but my standout is definitely the new Black Marble. Feels a lifetime ago they released A Different Arrangement but each record since has been good to great too imho.
Infectious, hooky synthpop thats drenched in 80s goth and postpunk nostalgia. Particularly this newie that seems really influenced by the UK C86 and indie scenes. Lots of thin guitar melodies and ghostly reverby vox. Hook it into my veins tbh.

Excited for this one, have liked what I’ve heard of her so far. Co-produced by Katie Crutchfield and waxahatchee very much seems the vibe, maybe with more of a Lucinda Williams edge.

Biggest new music day of the year here!
Still Coming Down - Wild Pink
Best lyricist going contender brings in MJ Lenderman and the Wednesday guys to go a bit 90s Neil Young. They’ve not made a record anything less than great.
Say a Prayer to the Gods of Getting Going - Squirrel Flower
Amazing singer songwriter (think the heavier Big Thief moments), all the singles have been excellent so this feels like a step up for her.
also psyched for Afghan Whigs and Westside Cowboy

Aside from Nick Cave, Westside Cowboys are the best thing I’ve seen live this year. Looking forward to this.

Brandon Flowers - THRASHER
Brandon goes country. Recorded in Nashville and featuring the likes of Dave Rawlings and Margo Price. Hopefully continuing the good work on Pressure Machine, but he can obviously be a mixed bag so who knows?

Came here to share this one! Lucky to have had it for a little while and it’s phenomenal, definitely her best yet. The heavy moments are great but there are a couple of slow-burners in there that blew me away.
