New Music Friday!

Finally caught up on the estate sale bonus tracks from Tyler The Creator's Call Me If You Get Lost. I wish it was even longer. These songs just enhance an already incredible album.

Mudhoney was fun.

Ruston Kelly is using some effect on his voice that has shades of:

the Ruston Kelly (not content wise) sounds an awful lot like 90's contemporary christian music. Both the effects and the jangly pop direction of the album. Not sure how I feel about it, really gonna be whether or not it holds up lyrically.
 
Last two weeks. Didn't listen to much in the past five days, but a lot last weekend.

🔥
  • Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily - Love in Exile [I think you're onto something, @musicjunkiegreg. I THINK YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING]
  • Lucinda Chua - Yian [one of my top10 for certain as of now. Bedazzling and restorative ambient pop]
  • Katie Gately - Fawn/Brute [it wasn't immediate, but it was very rewarding. Sometimes art pop is like that]
  • JPEGMAFIA x Danny Brown - Scaring the Hoes [excellent as was expected]
  • Lankum - False Lankum [this is godtier PirateShipCore. I want more now. Listened to this in full on the weekend over some spirits and ascended]
👍
  • Black Country, New Road - Live at Bush Hall {live} [Tyler is the right choice as frontwoman. The songs are interesting enough, but never once come close to reaching the highs of Ants From Up There. They already have a high bar to clear]
  • boygenius - the record
  • Debby Friday - Good Luck
  • Navy Blue - Ways of Knowing
  • Ada Rook - Rookie's Bustle (EP)
  • Sissoko, Ségal, Parisien, Peirani - Les Égarés [glad I tried this]
  • Yaya Bey - Exodus the North Star (EP) [continuing where she left off on Remember Your North Star. Very nice!]
🤷‍♂️
  • BABYMETAL - The Other One [yeah, it's a scintillating mess. Do I care? Not at all]
  • Depeche Mode - Memento mori
  • Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust [you know...I didn't hate this. Strange to say after being a pop punk pessimist for over a decade. "What a Time to Be Alive" is a bop]
  • Kikuo - きくおミク７
  • Lana Del Rey - Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd [strong start. Way too congested in the middle]
  • Larry June x The Alchemist - The Great Escape
  • Miss Grit - Follow the Cyborg
  • Frankie Rose - Love as Projection
👎
  • Angel Bat Dawid - Requiem for Jazz {live} [I had a hard time stomaching this one...even while distracted]
  • Caroline Rose - The Art of Forgetting [BIG BORING]
🤮
  • T-Pain - On Top of the Covers [the Sam Cooke cover was fine. But the sharp decline came immediately after with the Journey cover. Didn't enjoy at all]

Dude, completely agree with all of these I left above 👊 Caroline Rose was indeed a snoozer.. I'm really enjoying the BCNR live record and Tyler as the main vocalist. It's going to be interesting hearing how their sound evolves, but, as you said, the sextet has some huge shoes to fill. boygenius is a very solid 7.5/10 type album for me. After several listens, I really can't give it a higher rating than that at this time. It exactly met my expectations because it's the same formula the three have been using since 2018.
And the top four on your list are also my top 4 from the past two weeks! 🔥
