New Music Friday!

Love this album! I'm a transplanted Carolinian but I got a copy of the album from Harvest Records in Asheville shipped to me. Might be worth a look, but I think the pressing size was pretty small.
Thanks, I’m not hopeful I will see what I can find. I read on Reddit that a fall repress of the vinyl is in the works. Until then I think I am gonna pick up a copy of the cassette.

OOOOOOHHHH
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith has a new one coming out too!!!
 
Not much listened to, but quite satisfied.

🔥
  • SRSQ - Ever Crashing [I have this slotted in my top10 for 2022 right now. This is some gothic-ethereal-shoegaze-synthpop and I'm here for it]
  • Wake - Thought Form Descent [some more quality black metal to bludgeon my ears]
👍
  • Doechii - she / her / black bitch (EP)
  • Ghais Guevara - There Will Be No Super-Slave [not quite as amazing as I had expected, but still quite good]
  • Elaine Howley - The Distance Between Heart and Mouth [so close to 🔥]
  • Terrence Etc. - V O R T E X [very interesting, this one]
🤷‍♂️
  • Au Suisse - Au Suisse
  • Megan Thee Stallion - Traumazine [like most trap and pop rap, it loses steam really quickly]
👎

None.​

Glad to see Wake and SRSQ up top 🔥
 
This new Julia Jacklin feels like a grower. It's not jumping out to me as much as her first two did on first listen. It almost feels a little like the Phantastic Ferniture album but slower

I would have to agree with that assessment. I thought it was nice but I need more time with it before I can form a proper opinion of the album.

I really liked it a lot.
 
Finally have given the new Mountain Goats some good listens and I love it a lot. It does remind me of Beat The Champ in a way, in terms of the tempos and writing style - this is a very good thing. There may be a couple of moments where I feel like his delivery of certain melodies or lyrics sound too familiar to at least one or two songs he's done before. It makes me stop in my tracks a bit and think 'wait a sec...what does this remind me of?' That said, I can mostly write off such a tiny criticism. It's a fun, dark album. And I love Alicia Bognanno's production on it. She makes these songs just feel alive. I thought it might have sounded more lo-fi, like Bully, but it really doesn't.
