New Music Friday!

[McGlam]

Hayden Thorpe and Cate Le Bon on the same day!

 

[Fillip J Phry]

There's also a new EP from Hot Water Music out today. Really solid effort IMHO. I may be biased though, as I am always ready for Chuck's beautifully abrasive voice.

Picked up the Hayden Thorpe record on the way home from work, will listen to it later. Really like the single from the Cate Le Bon record too.

New Sebadoh record is out today.

I'm pretty excited to dive into Black Mountain and Faye Webster.

I'm also still bitter that they moved New Music Tuesday to Friday. Friday already had a lot going for it. Now what does Tuesday have?

Latest release from the ever dependable Brownswood recordings is out today. Skinny Pelembe - Dreaming Is Dead Now. Sounding mighty fine on first listen

It was new music Monday here!

I had no idea! How provincial of me.

I had no idea! How provincial of me.

One of the reasons for the change was to harmonise release dates - for instance I think (but may be wrong!) that new releases were already coming out on a Friday in Ireland.

So if you know me, I'm most looking forward to the new SSPU album. I'm going to listen to it after everything else. I'm either going to be blown away, or disappointed. Either way, I won't want to listen to anything else.

On Deck today:
SSPU
Dinosaur Pile Up
Yeasayer

Singles:
Whitney
Pixies
Strung Out
Temples
Bad Books
Ty Segall
Japanese Breakfast
Titus Andronicus

Anything else that should be on my radar? I'm hearing good things about Denzel Curry and Stef Chura, not sure if I'll get to those today.

I've heard a lot of talk about that Whitney single, I've never listened to them before but I definitely plan on checking that one out too!

I enjoyed their last album but it wasn't my favorite. Really dug this new single.

 

[sjaygray]

The Palehound and Stef Chura albums released today are both stellar!

 

[Aelias]

I'm liking the new Kishi Bashi, I always get in the mood to listen to him when summer rolls around. His last couple of albums didn't draw me in that much but I think I'll pick up a copy of Omoiyari.

I can't believe metacritic's aggregate has the new Baroness at 98(!), looking forward to checking that, Goldlink and Bill Callahan out.

 

[Kris]

The new Kate Tempest album is gorgeous and human and surpasses all expectations. My expectations were pretty high after “Let Them Eat Chaos”. I might go for the deluxe CD though because it comes with a lyrics/poetry book.
