New Music Friday!

[avecigrec]

Lemme know what you think. Not sure if I oversold it or undersold it

I enjoyed it quite a bit—not gonna make my top 10 but it's absolutely something I will revisit. Very adventurous stuff with some fun surprises. The couple times I started to feel uncertain they switched things up in a way that drew me back in. Thanks for putting it on our radar!

Pretty much my sentiments on the album! Surely unlikely to be Top10 material by year's end, but definitely a new and fun listen. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did #RBFforthewin

Switching to a monthly wrap up this year. Not a lot this month. Going to try and avoid burnout (< 300 releases total).

• Boldy James x Nicholas Craven - Penalty of Leadership [some of the most HANGRY bars I've heard from Mr. 227. Samples are fantastic. I'd say this is even better than Fair Exchange No Robbery from two years ago. A chilling reflection on his near death experience a year ago]
• Erotic Secrets of Pompeii - Mondo Maleficum [thank you for coming in the clutch, @musicjunkiegreg. I would toss out Algiers as a comparison and replace with HMLTD...it has an artsy goth angle combined with a central modern post-punk sound, after all]
• The Smile - Wall of Eyes [Yorke and crew keep on keeping on. "Teleharmonic" is my favorite song in the young year]

• Philip Glass - Philip Glass Solo [a beautiful album by a brilliant minimalist composer]
• Marika Hackman - Big Sigh [very high probability of moving into the top tier in time]
• Mary Halvorson - Cloudward
• Orkun A. - Archaic
• Kali Uchis - Orquídeas

• Benny The Butcher - Everybody Can't Go
• CHANCE デラソウル - In Media Rez [among the least enjoyable in the giant discography of this artist]
• Green Day - Saviors
• R.A.P. Ferreira x Fumitake Tamura - The First Fist to Make Contact When We Dap
• SPRINTS - Letter to Self

• Rejoyce - All of Heaven's Luck
• Sleater-Kinney - Little Rope [little to no bite to this. Why does it sound so clean?]

None.​

Britti album is fun:


I am loving this The Last Dinner Party album:

[Hollywood]

Only one thing on my radar list this week!

The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy

 

[wokeupnew]

Sleater-Kinney - Little Rope [little to no bite to this. Why does it sound so clean?]

I haven't listened to a Sleater-Kinney album since No Cities to Love and I was thinking about checking this out because there's so little new music out that I'm interested in atm. So this seals it. Who wants a Sleater-Kinney album like that.

Nothing groundbreaking but I think it’s fun:

 

[wokeupnew]

this entity has released so many different non-Halloween albums now that I think they need to change the project name to fit with this one

As I kinda suspected the new J Mascis album is wonderful and is the first new title I have purchased so far in 2024. His solo stuff is a lot gentler than the Dinosaur Jr tunes but no less brilliant.

We Jazz Records with another very solid release this week (that I missed on my Radar List!)

Once I get through my Screaming Trees/Mark Lanegan playthrough (which has admittedly stalled put a bit as the weekly release lists start filling out) I think I need to finally give Dinosaur Jr a try...

That sounds like a good time.

This is quite nice and kind of hard to describe:


Qobuz says it is soul… sort of, I guess… there are times it is straight up tropicalia. There are times it recslss Joni Mitchell… all of it has a shimmer to the vocal like dream pop. Anyhow, very pleasant listen.

I' d at least give it a listen on streaming. I think itvis by farvtheir best since no cities to love. Haven't decided if i need it on vinyl because i have all of their albums through to no cities but it's definitely up from the last ones

@Rip_City, @debianlinux found this one just from the tags and put it on our playlist this weekend. I think you might dig it. I am really enjoying it and considering getting a physical copy of its available.
