New Music Friday!

Kim Gordon’s new album is interesting. It’s reminds me a bit of Low’s last couple albums production wise. The big difference is the dissonance on those albums usually builds to moments where unbridle and haunting beauty burst through the murky glitchy distortion. Those moments are much less present on KG’s The Collective, it’s still a captivating listen but it’s not something I will likely return to often. I am glad it exists.
I know this is last week's news, but I picked this up yesterday after streaming a couple of songs.
I am also glad it exists, but after about 3 or 4 samey tracks I honestly wish I spent the money elsewhere.

Like, fuck yeah Kim is doing cool shit at 70...but I wish that cool shit had a bit more variation to it, and the coolness of the album quickly degraded into being grating for me. Not sure honestly how long I'm going to hang onto it before selling it. Definitely going to do it some other place than where the store employee ranted and raved about the album when I picked it up.
 
This is one of my favorite things I’ve listened to this year so far

Hot damn you ain't lying. Sometimes an album scratches an itch you didn't know you had. This is definitely one of them.

The cut he did with Messthetics on his solo album last year was my introduction to them and my favourite on that album, so a whole album with them was am exciting prospect, and it delivered!

This is a wonderful (and large) list that I see includes Waxahatchee and Sierra Ferrell but there has been a bit of an oversight by omitting Rosali - Bite Down. On a big day with lots of great albums Rosali is one of the albums I am most excited for.

Stereogum showcased this album this week and I listened to a couple of songs which were right up my alley. However! I absolutely despise the album artwork and it's super confusing because it does not fit with the music one bit.

Yeah, it certainly was a choice. Her last album cover fits her musical stylings much more aptly.
