New Music Friday!

[wokeupnew]

Kinda sounds like Tennis

Yeah pretty apt comparison! Their album they put out 2 years ago is more of the same if you dig this sound.

 

[gaporter]

Kendrick and the Smile dropping on the same day gives me a lot to look forward to! I'll give the new Black Keys a chance too, but I'm honestly not expecting much from that one.

The Idrissa Soumaoro is really fantastic - they don't seem to be pushing this but it features Amadou and Mariam (I think it's their first recording). I have another reissue so won't be getting this one but highly recommend it.

I like the new Röyksapp album "Profound Mysteries". It's some ghostly mellow electronic pop sound, that manages to take me elsewhere. It's not perfect as a complete album, but still pretty good.

 

[Bluecloud777]

Belle and Sebastian is decent. I think they stopped being so "cute" and neat in their sound after Write About Love. Nothing wrong with that but they excelled at being twee, now they're just a good band. I'd say 6/10 right now with potential to grow.

Sharon Van Etten's new one will need more listens. Her voice on this one is much more amalgamated and will require a few more listens for it to unfold. I didn't hear any standout tracks from the start but I wonder if her decision to not release singles before release is why.

Just listening to Belle and Sebastian and really enjoying the new album, think this will rank high in my Q2. Also Sharon Van Etten will, very good new album.

Check out the album from  Ibaraki. It was tier for me from Friday. Post in thread 'Best Music of 2022!' https://www.needlesandgrooves.com/threads/best-music--of-2022.1843/post-581751

I fully agree, a top contender for AOTY for me. Whole album was just full of "Oh wow!" moments. I still can't get over Gerard Way's screaming on Ronin.

 

[TrainFan73]

I enjoyed this quite a bit... I guess it's experimental, it's almost like some classical pink floyd:

This is a fascinating release in every respect:

Lily Henley — Hearth Music

When singer, fiddler, songwriter, and composer Lily Henley set out to make an album of Sephardic Jewish ballads set to new melodies, she was looking for her own way to interpret a tradition that she saw as critically endangered.

A few I'd like to try across these (certainly not all). But one more:


Patricia Wolf - See-Through [ambient, field recordings, drone, ambient techno]

EDIT: I had to amend the genre tags, as I just finished listening. While there are some ambient techno tracks (...sorta...) in the back half of the record, it is primarily another ambient venture. Another quality release, to be sure.

Oh, fuck yeah!

Glad you're also enjoying it! Surely one of the best albums of the year for me so far

 

[Bennnnn]

New Kendrick is a complicated deep look into himself and his place in culture - as well as culture itself. Kind of a broad topic. But it’s also about toxicity, change?

It’s not a super fun album. I think Damn was so immediate and kind of fun in its production. This one is another change up. Some of the production isn’t clicking yet for me. But lyrically there is a lot to digest. I can’t throw out a score or anything on one listen to a dense album. I think it’s funny to see people’s gut reactions. Give it time. We’ve waited five years. Let’s let it marinate and listen more than once before we all jump into a consensus. Idk

 

[Skeletonframes]

This Sasha Alex Sloan album has a big malaise energy and I'm way into that. I'm here for nihilist pop albums!!

 

[Hemotep]

This the real OG album drop today. Brushy Brush is a club anthem.

“Big malaise energy” is my new favorite oxymoron
