New Music Friday!

Really loving this new Leon Bridges!

Seconded. I've been lukewarm on past Leon as it all felt a little too serious but the somewhat lighter tone really works for him on this album. Very happily surprised.

ICYMI: Anika just dropped a new album, her first in 11 years and it's really good

Really loving this new Leon Bridges!

I couldn't get into his last one, but this one I very much enjoy. Not quite as much as the first, but that's okay too. It's still fantastic.

Don't sleep on this new Dave album

Am I the only one that feels like DARKSIDE's "The Limit" sounds like it would fit perfectly on King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's Butterfly 3000 album?

I don't know because I haven't listened to that album but man what a track!

Album of the week for me is DARKSIDE's Spiral, the sophomore album from electronic guru Nicolás Jaar and multi-instrumentalist Dave Harrington. This LP delivers a more straightforward rock-centric sound than it's predecessor, the groundbreaking debut Psychic , which was a richer, more complexe experimental and ambient slow burn but that said, the collaborative duo wasn't trying to recreate the same sonic pallet this time around, nor did they want to rehash the same narrative, instead they wanted to give us something entirely different without veering off from the aesthetic of their first, and they achieved it with flying colors. This album which leans heavily towards prog-rock and neo-psychedelia is grounded in real-time while rooted in mid-century, offering its listeners everything from middle-eastern instrumentation, to Gregorian chants and even nature sounds such as birds chirping and insects buzzing, and they tie it all so well together without ever sounding pretentious or out of place. This album is a dark and beautiful musical journey through a collage of warm and soothing soundscapes. I highly recommend it.

Yup I have to agree with you here! I'm one click away from ordering it on vinyl

@avecigrec I'm still trying to get into this album. Two listens in now and it just hasn't clicked with me... But I feel like this one has the potential to. Keep listening, I must

If psych / folky / bluesy / countryish is up your alley, check out the Tobacco City album Tobacco City, USA. It sounds pretty great to me today.

This is nice, getting early My Morning Jackets/Beachwood Sparks/Band of Horses vibes.

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

That looks (and from TLK's description) sounds right up my alley. Gonna download it for deck times this evening.

New Billie is really quite lovely so far

I love big, varied release days like this!

I got through about 1/3 of my list before bed last night and have added at least that many albums, or more, thanks to the various threads around here this morning.
