New Music Friday!

This new Hatchie album is so good! Easily going to be on my AOTY top 10. I just learned that she had the same producer of the last few Tamaryn albums which makes perfect sense.
I almost didn’t even listen to it cause I didn’t know anything about her honestly. But it’s a really good album, and makes me want to seek out the vinyl. Not in today’s inventory at my local though.
 

Lots of tracks here for charity!
 
HOOOO BOOOOYYYY
It's been a great week.

🔥
  • Hatchie - Giving the World Away
  • Kathryn Joseph - for you who are the wronged
  • Tess Roby - Ideas of Space [after going back through my concert archives, I had an epiphany that I've already seen Tess in concert; she opened for Julia Holter!!! It's no surprise that I enjoyed this]
  • Whatever the Weather - Whatever the Weather [this is stellar. Goodness.]
👍
  • S. Carey - Break Me Open [I have to admit, @Hollywood...you're right.]
  • Defcee & BoatHouse - For All Debts Public and Private
  • Lydia Képinski - Depuis [fun French/alt-pop]
  • Mizmor & Thou - Myopia
  • 春ねむり - 春火燎原 [there are many fantastic moments, but its a bit long and with instances of undesirable genre whiplash. This will garner more listens from me and with that...I may end up moving this to 🔥 in time. "春雷" is one of my favorite songs of the year]
  • Primer - Incubator [solid synthpop. Doesn't necessarily innovate, but it bears enough highlights to remain an enjoyable listen]
  • Pusha T - It's Almost Dry
  • Redveil - Learn 2 Swim [somewhat frontloaded, but very fresh]
  • Daniel Rossen - You Belong There [this took me by surprise with how dynamic, progressive, and spirited the instrumentation is for a folk or singer/songwriter record. This will require revisits]
  • Claire Rousay - Everything Perfect is Already Here
  • Spiritualized - Everything Was Beautiful [enjoyable record, but this is one I wouldn't be itching to play again. Not sure this band is to my tastes, despite their legendary status and my owning of two of their classics]
🤷‍♂️
  • Axel Boman - LUZ [my general 50/50 disagreement with P4K's BNM selections continues]
  • Axel Boman - Quest for Fire [slightly better than the above]
  • Field Works - Stations
  • Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia [first time listening to this band]
  • iANO - Life Cycles
  • Red Velvet - Bloom [is it a guilty pleasure? Definitely. The Japanese lyrics were a serious WTF moment]
  • Weiland - Vices [hyperpop crowd would probably dig this more than I did]
👎
  • Camila Cabello - Familia
  • Koloah - Serenity
  • Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Night Gnomes [a downgrade from Shyga! The Sunlight Mound last year]
🤮

None.​

Great list! Don't forget to check out the new album from Undeath (arguably the best new death metal act in the game). Also, the new King Gizzard album, though all over the place, is pretty awesome. And I'm glad to see Tess Roby where she landed. These three were my top albums from the 22nd ✌️

Confession: I don’t know most of any of these on the lists you list, so I pick what to listen to based on the genre.

I might have to listen to Rammstein just because they were a fave of mine in college. And of course KLO is an insta-listen. For my fliers, Let’s Eat Grandma and Royksopp. I have Melody’s Echo Chamber and Tori y Moi coming.
This is like the ultimate pop subgenre quadfecta 🤗
This'll be first on my priority for work on Friday.
We have the same brain. Lol
 
Slower week for me thankfully so maybe I can actually catch up some more lol. Only album that im remotely interested in is

Poets of the Fall - Ghostlight

Underrated Finish rock band who released some great stuff in the late aughts/early 10's. Haven't vibes with them in a while but im down to give their new album a shot! If you've ever played Alan Wake then you may be familiar with some of their songs because the stuff they made for that soundtrack is great!
