New Music Friday!

Highly recommend this country folk album by John Fizer that was recorded in 1977 and just released for the first time last week.

Is this “The Mailman” Karl Malone’s daughter?

Is this “The Mailman” Karl Malone’s daughter?

No. She doesn't lose in the final moments when it matters most.

Just past the halfway mark, really enjoying this. His last two albums were covers of Billie Holiday and Bill Withers. Probably gonna check them out at some point. This leapfrogged past everything else I've heard from last week so far.

If I'm being honest I'm only listening to Lapsley because she was a very early VMP feature who I really liked. This is not something I'd probably even know about without that association. With that being said her new album is decent. It's not super poppy and her voice is once again the star here.

First RBF of 2023! And it's definitely the only standout for me (so far) from 1.20 releases. Ché Aimee Dorval's newest LP The Crowned is stunning. What a voice!

I really like this one. Thanks for sharing.

Like, not quite Blow It Out Your Ass It's Veruca Salt good. But very good.

A good run accounted for. I'm going to need February and March to pick it up if I'm going to have a top50 by December!

• The C.I.A. - Surgery Channel [absurdly fun]
• Mette Henriette - Drifting [beautiful, sweeping, luxurious, dazzling. Alabaster DePlume fans should enjoy]

• Boldy James x RichGains - Indiana Jones [perhaps a step down from others, I'll give you that. I still dig]
• John Cale - MERCY [with a cavalcade of features, the songs usually work, but a few disappointing cuts. The ones with Weyes Blood and Laurel Halo are pretty cool. Tei Shi too?!?!?]
• Imperium Dekadenz - Into Sorrow Evermore
• Kali Malone - Does Spring Hide its Joy [won't listen to all five hours again, but it works much better in a work environment]
• Oddisee - To What End
• Bianca Scout - The Heart of the Anchoress
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - 12 [this one demands revisits. Might move up]

• abracadabra - shapes & colors
• Ché Aimee Dorval - The Crowned
• Jadu Heart - Derealized
• The Murder Capital - Gigi's Recovery
• Dave Rowntree - Radio Songs
• Tha God Fahim - Chess Moves

• Kelly Fraser - Sedna
• Ladytron - Time's Arrow
• Tribunal - The Weight of Remembrance

None.​

I was really pleased with Mette Henriette as well!

Sakamoto is my current top release for the month.

Finally got to this on the way home from work today - holy hell it's fantastic!
I enjoyed it well enough at first and then it just kept getting better! Very impressive.

And I love the Alice Coltrane homage of a cover.

 

[Nee Lewman]

quite enjoying the new Fucked Up.

 

[Nee Lewman]

new White Reaper was kind of a let down, not bad, just not great.

The new Steve Vai is awful. Like really bad.

 

[Nee Lewman]

new Arcs isn't really hitting the way I would have expected either.

Aoife was awesome, but half of it is old (i knew this going in)

 

[Nee Lewman]

The new MC McEntire is quite good. Could potentially over take Margo as my favorite thing this year (album wise - the New Nickel Creek song is probably my song of the damn year)
