Bloody hell, the thread’s only just started and I’ve already got 4 ‘oh shit yes please’ albums on my list for the day…
Snocaps - Snocaps
Surprise new project from Katie & Allison Crutchfield, MJ Lenderman and Brad Cook ![]()
Listen to the release Snocaps by Snocaps on Qobuz Open Qobuz
Chatpile & Hayden Pedigo joint album also drops today. A busy day for new music.
Yellow Eyes - Confusion Gate
Surprise release of a new album by New York’s Yellow Eyes. Bandcamp says it is a “blood relative to 2023’s Master’s Murmur”
“In their 15th year, Yellow Eyes push their distinctive style of Black Metal a step further. Prominently displayed is their signature capacity for contrast: colorful, unpredictable melody with violent power, dissonance with anthemic beauty, harshness with warmth, impulsivity with patience. But this album, the band’s longest yet, is full of secrets. Confusion Gate, though a singular release that stands entirely on its own, toys with the listener by quoting abstractly from its sister album Master’s Murmur, transfiguring cryptic industrial folk into howling Black Metal. Unexpectedly veering into a rephrased melody or lyric, or presenting a familiar idea upside down, Confusion Gate hides its deceptions in plain sight.”
Bruise Blood - You Run Through The World Like An Open Razor
First solo album by yr man out of Teeth of the Sea. Expect electronic madness I suppose.
Ammanas - The Source of Primordial Wisdom
Tolkien themed atmospheric/epic black metal from Russia
µ-Ziq - 1979
Mike Paradinas returns on Balmat. Melodic ambience, more gentle than a typical µ-Ziq album and more lively, in places, than most Balmat releases.
New Creeper album
Probably fairly lightweight gothy rock / metal but of note because it features Patricia Morrison, which is allegedly more than any Sisters record made while she was in the band does
New Damien Jurado - he’s gone electronic for this one.
Makaya McCraven - Off The Record
(4 EP collection on streaming, collected together on physical)
New one (ones?) from the jazz drummer on International Anthem. Expect some more beat driven, chopped up jazz.
keiyaA - hooke’s law
New one from the experimental RnB singer. Last one was superb, so this should be great too.
Big L - Harlems Finest: Return of the King
Another one from Mass Appeals Legend Has It series, which has been incredibly underwhelming so far, so I’m not too excited to dig in. Looks to be some “new” tracks mixed with some freestyles.
No relation
Emma Rawicz - Inkyra
New one from the jazz saxophonist.
Various Artists - Gazed and Bemused: Hazy Sounds From The Meanjin Underground
A compilation of dreampop and shoegaze from Brisbane, looks like there’s a new Deafcult track on there, which caught my eye.
HighSchool - S/T
Debut album from Melbourne cool kids who’ve moved to London. To me it sounds like Beach Fossils crossed with the Strokes.
