New Music Friday!

[Rip_City]

I'm really enjoying the indie-pop sounds of Mercurial World
It's like Chairlift, Charli XCX and Grimes all mashed up into one.

Listening now. This is something Allie X fans will find intriguing.

Man, James Blake is very disappointing 5 songs in, reminds me way too much of Assume Form which I didn't like. James Blake x Features doesn't feel natural to me at all, it kills what made his earlier music so memorable and beautiful. I hated that Assume Form felt like a commercial album and now his concerts are all anchored by a song with a Travis Scott feature that makes the new fans in the crowd go crazy but does nothing for fans of The Color in Anything and previous works.

The first song on this album sets it up like you're about to go on an epic journey and then songs 2-5 are big corny mehs.

I'm not really a fan in the first place so I skipped it but I'm sorry it's a letdown, nevertheless.

Intrigued by the upcoming A.A. Williams. Her previous releases embody the brooding singer-songwriter/post-rock flavor that I enjoy.

This new Kit Sebastian record is fantastic! Loving the vibe!

Finally listening to this now and the first track is blowing me away. I've listened to Mantra Moderne a ton over the last couple years and there is just something about this band's sound that really does it for me.

 

[musicjunkiegreg]

Well this album is pretty Bandcamp's album of the day did not disappoint. Definitely the one to beat for me so far this new music Friday!

Really enjoyed this album, my favorite of this weeks crop so far. Looking forward to checking the others mentioned above.

Jason Isbell's cover of Kid Fears with Brandi Carlile and Julien Baker is one of my favorites on Georgie Blue so far.
