New Music Friday!

The double album is great albeit a tad too long for my taste...

It's only 63 minutes.. honestly that's not even too long for a double album. And I distinctly remember your 2022 aoty was about 12 minutes longer than this one

A 30 minute album can be too long, a three hour album can be too short.

Really liked the new Actress.

I can agree with that

New L'Impératrice and Kaytranada out today... some fun summer listening for this evening.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Mmmmhhhhhhmmmmmm

 

[Nee Lewman]

I very much like the new Bonny Light Horseman. Their first is still my favorite, but this is much better than the last one.

I'm enjoying the new Charli XCX quite a bit as well. Makes for a pretty good release week for electronic music with L'Impératrice and Kaytranada. I've never gotten into a Charli XCX record before although I've enjoyed tracks here and there. This one is hitting that spot I was hoping the Dua Lipa would hit. But more raw than anything I'd expect from Dua Lipa. Almost feels like an underground/indie electronic record.

I'm with you, I really like the new Charli XCX and I was disappointed in the recent Dua Lipa.

The other pop album I've really enjoyed this year, which helped me get past my disappointment with the Dua Lipa album is the latest from Empress Of, which is excellent imo.

That Dua Lipa isn't bad, just bland. The singles are good, but the back half of the record kind of blends into the background. Too bad.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I’m not real sure I want to open this can of worms but I find it very interesting that Dua Lipa, Adriana Grande, and Taylor Swift all make albums that are more personal than usual and there is a good chunk of their fan base that is like “no thanks.”

Radar List, 14th June 2024

• Ulcerate — Cutting the Throat of God (Death / Avant-garde / Technical)

Ulcerate's new one is probably my most anticipated album since Julia Holter's back in March. Based on the singles, it literally has some aoty potential. We'll see..

All joking aside @duke86fan , I did give Brat a listen last night. It was the most entertaining pop album I’ve listened to this year and did not seem overly shallow as pop music often can. Not sure it is something that I will listen to a lot but it was pretty good.

 

[avecigrec]

All-in for Brat. That was very enjoyable.

 

[blenoxsmith]

Thanks for highlighting this Actress album. Just got around to it and loved it. This is my kind of ambient, in that it's dynamic and always keep you guessing. Gives me Huerco S. vibes.

Sidenote, bc I think I've seen that you dig his music, Laraaji is conducting a Sound Bath near me this weekend, and I'm going. Can't f'ing wait to zone out under his acoustic care.
