New Music Friday!

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my copy of the new one, but boy oh boy have the recent GBV albums been delightful. It's certainly a lot to keep up with, but if you want to test drive a recent one, I heartily recommend the phenomenal Earth Man Blues. Yeah, the mid-90s stuff gets the most acclaim, but I think a legitimate case can be made they they (or Robert Pollard) are in their golden age right now.

You're not wrong, it's absolutely the best band that he's ever had

Just past the halfway mark, really enjoying this. His last two albums were covers of Billie Holiday and Bill Withers. Probably gonna check them out at some point. This leapfrogged past everything else I've heard from last week so far.

I love the title of the Elle King album by the way.
 
A good run accounted for. I'm going to need February and March to pick it up if I'm going to have a top50 by December!

🔥
  • The C.I.A. - Surgery Channel [absurdly fun]
  • Mette Henriette - Drifting [beautiful, sweeping, luxurious, dazzling. Alabaster DePlume fans should enjoy]
👍
  • Boldy James x RichGains - Indiana Jones [perhaps a step down from others, I'll give you that. I still dig]
  • John Cale - MERCY [with a cavalcade of features, the songs usually work, but a few disappointing cuts. The ones with Weyes Blood and Laurel Halo are pretty cool. Tei Shi too?!?!?]
  • Imperium Dekadenz - Into Sorrow Evermore
  • Kali Malone - Does Spring Hide its Joy [won't listen to all five hours again, but it works much better in a work environment]
  • Oddisee - To What End
  • Bianca Scout - The Heart of the Anchoress
  • Ryuichi Sakamoto - 12 [this one demands revisits. Might move up]
🤷‍♂️
  • abracadabra - shapes & colors
  • Ché Aimee Dorval - The Crowned
  • Jadu Heart - Derealized
  • The Murder Capital - Gigi's Recovery
  • Dave Rowntree - Radio Songs
  • Tha God Fahim - Chess Moves
👎
  • Kelly Fraser - Sedna
  • Ladytron - Time's Arrow
  • Tribunal - The Weight of Remembrance
🤮

None.​

I was really pleased with Mette Henriette as well!

Sakamoto is my current top release for the month.

Finally got to this on the way home from work today - holy hell it's fantastic!
I enjoyed it well enough at first and then it just kept getting better! Very impressive.

And I love the Alice Coltrane homage of a cover.
