New Music Friday!

Scott McMicken (dr. dog) has a "solo" effort out today... solo with a full band (including Michael Nau!).

I'm going to need to dig into this one a little more, but it feels way more freewheeling than Dr. Dog stuff. There's some jazzy influence, some latin, and even some reggae (?) vibes.

 
It will be interesting to see how people react to the Mighty Poplar album. All these progressive Bluegrass musicians got together and made a straight up bluegrass record leaning old times music.
 
RBF ALERT ⚠️

The fourth album here Fawn/Brute by Katie Gately dropped yesterday on 3/31, and it was written during and after her pregnancy in 2021. This is my first experience with Gately, and I'm shocked I've never heard of her before now. She is also a producer who has worked with Björk, Zola Jesus, and Serpentwithfeet. Her fourth LP here is experimental pop and electronica, dance pop, and, yes, I would even say art pop 👀 Upon a few initial listens, this is definitely an overall standout for me so far this year.

An art pop grower. I know I'll love it in time. ❤️
 
Boygenius is as perfect as I was expecting.

Yup this boygenius album is GOOD. I've listened to "Not Strong Enough" a few times prior to release and it still is a jam within the album. Lucy's part in the last minute is 👨‍🍳😘👌

I love the new Boygenius, but both times I’ve listened so far I feel it ends just a little too soon. I’m just enjoying it all so much.
When I first listened 🎧 to the album yesterday I felt slightly underwhelmed...I felt wanting more but after re-listening to it today with my girlfriend it finally clicked, especially lyrically! True Blue 💙 is currently my favourite track on "the record" ⏺️

Yup True Blue is excellent. Feels weird liking the advance singles the most so far but that’s how it is. Hopefully the rest of the songs start to stand out after a few more listens.
