New Music Friday!

New one from William Tyler is really, really good. Interesting and affecting and beautiful. Life is somethin else, man.

Well, much to my delight (and surely @avecigrec's, too), BRUIT ≤ released their new album, The Age Of Ephemerality, 6 hours early at 6:00pm EST (which makes sense, as the group hails from Toulouse, France and it was 12:00am there Friday morning).

interesting, cause it still ain’t up on Qobuz.

It ain't on Spotify neither.. Might be strictly on Bandcamp.

Pretty sure the last album was Bandcamp only too

The new Deerhoof album is trying hard to make it on to a "worst album covers" list

Edit: they're trying hard for the "worst albums" list, too

The new album, Weirdo, from Emma-Jean Thackray is definitely another standout among the slew of April 25th releases. Composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, E-JT is back with her 2nd LP: 57 minutes of mostly upbeat, funky, jazzy, and sometimes danceable tracks (19 of them to be exact). I enjoyed her her 2021 debut, Yellow, but I already feel like I enjoyed this one more. Lyrically, the album was blunt, honest, personal, and funny (and, at times, dark and bleak, too). Taken from her Bandcamp page:

“I think we need to talk about the dark shit in our heads, and finding the humour in it only makes that easier. The lyrics to this are very diary-esque, like confessional poetry, and the bare emotion of it is balanced out with lush jazz harmony, sweeping synths, and a pop punk silliness. When you centre in on the silliness it’s easier to speak on your pain, and easier for others to hear it.”

I adore her.
