New Music Friday!

[Nee Lewman]

So far enjoying Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever!

@Russ I introduced me to Sadurn a few months back and their album dropped today. I really loved the single “Snake” but the whole album is quite good. FFO Hopalong, Waxahatchee, and Big Thief.

Seconded

Great to hear! I have it arriving today. Excited to give it a spin.

"icepick" is one helluva song.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Warpaint was okay. Really digging the Sunflower Bean.

 

[Russ I]

"icepick" is one helluva song.

Only been through once and really enjoyed it, but this also feels like it will be a real grower. And yeah, "icepick" is a real slow burn. I also really like "snake," which might be the first track that was released and got this whole thing started!

Agreed on the new Sunflower Bean

Listening to it as I wander around an airport waiting for a horribly delayed flight. Depressing as hell, or so it seems to me now, but I’m digging it haha!

If you're a pop-punk fan like me, you could do worse than the new Cliffdiver album

 

[Rip_City]

Not bad. However, I didn't listen to much as I'm experiencing listener fatigue and considering taking a break.

None. Likely should be something here, but didn't feel it this week.​

​

• Otoboke Beaver (おとぼけビ～バ～) - SUPER CHAMPON (スーパーチャンポン) [can't wait to see these ladies in concert!]
• Soccer96 - Inner Worlds

• Kehlani - blue water road [this is my favorite album of their discography thus far. I was so, so close to placing this in , but I'm not brave enough to do it. Not quite there...still a number of mediocre inclusions in the tracklist. I'm on the precipice of fully connecting with Kehlani's music, and I'm hoping the next one they release will blow me away]
• Sharon Van Etten - We've Been Going About This All Wrong [this was fine, but the bombastic orchestral arrangements worked better for music friend Angel Olsen on All Mirrors than for SVE here]

• Warpaint - Radiate Like This [this didn't radiate]

• Arcade Fire - WE [this is ghastly. In contention for worst album of '22]

Soccer96 - Inner Worlds

 

[nolalady]

This was released in March but I didn't catch it until last week:

Agreed on the new Sunflower Bean

I had this one on repeat most of the weekend. I came here to see if anyone else picked it up. Really enjoying it.

New Rolling Blackouts isn't grabbing me like their previous output. The jangly guitars are still there but the vocals seem a little more subdued. I liked the album, just not an insta-buy like their last 2 were.

Hasn't grabbed me as much either but I haven't given it a very close listen-- mostly just driving around doing errands in the car. I expect it will grow on me though, I love the band a lot.

Check out the album from  Ibaraki. It was tier for me from Friday. Post in thread 'Best Music of 2022!' https://www.needlesandgrooves.com/threads/best-music-🎶-of-2022.1843/post-581751

 

[Nee Lewman]

There's so much to listen to!!
I am interested in that Soccer96 and Maria Chiara Argiro. Also, don't sleep on that Layla McCalla. Her last album was amazing and didn't receive enough praise.

The new album leans classical more than I was expecting. It is very good.

It's not Friday, but this new Tops EP is out today and you should give it a listen. I wish it was a full-length because it has top 10 AOTY potential for me.

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed their last LP so I'll definitely be checking this out!

 

[dhodo]

Excited to hear the new Quelle Chris album this week.

Kinda sounds like Tennis

Kinda sounds like Tennis

Yeah pretty apt comparison! Their album they put out 2 years ago is more of the same if you dig this sound.

 

[gaporter]

Kendrick and the Smile dropping on the same day gives me a lot to look forward to! I'll give the new Black Keys a chance too, but I'm honestly not expecting much from that one.
