Welcome to our weekly music post, where we spotlight our favorite new songs and albums. Hop in the comments and tell us: What new music are you listening to?<\/p>\n
British electronic musician Daniel Avery gets an assist from vocalist Cecile Believe and guitarist Andy Bell on his otherworldly new track, \u201cRapture In Blue.\u201d It\u2019s the first single from his upcoming album, Tremor (out October 31). Since his 2013 debut full-length, Drone Logic, Avery has built a reputation for creating lush soundscapes with his music, something that continues to be true with the precise, densely layered production of \u201cRapture In Blue.\u201d Back in May, Avery also released a self-titled EP as a member of Demise Of Love, a collaborative project with Ghost Culture and Working Men\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n
Wye Oak<\/a> member Jenn Wasner is back with a new Flock Of Dimes album, The Life You Save (out October 10). The album as a whole explores themes of addiction and co-dependency, and the first single, \u201cLong After Midnight,\u201d tackles both of those head-on. \u201cAll the money I gave to you \/ I know I will never get it back \/ Don\u2019t be sad and don\u2019t be sorry \/ I don\u2019t care about the money like that,\u201d Wasner sings over an acoustic guitar melody. In true Wasner fashion, it\u2019s honest, raw, and beautiful.<\/p>\n Bright Eyes, \u201c1st World Blues\u201d<\/p>\n \ufeff<\/p>\n We\u2019re not really sure what to do with or make of Bright Eyes\u2019 new ska song, \u201c1st World Blues,\u201d except simply acknowledge that it exists, it appears to be an earnest appreciation of the genre, it\u2019s honestly kind of a bop, and it\u2019s still deeply bizarre. In a press release, Conor Oberst said, \u201c\u20181st World Blues\u2019 is an homage to ska in all its waves. From Desmond Decker to Tim Armstrong, we\u2019re just happy to add our track to the bin. The video is inspired by NYC 90s hip hop, which like ska, has a long tradition of unifying people & using celebratory music to convey subversive political themes. To be played loud. Windows down. Summertime.\u201d It appears to be a one-off for now, but who knows\u2014maybe there\u2019s a whole Bright Eyes ska album on the horizon. Now that we\u2019ve heard \u201c1st World Blues,\u201d that prospect isn\u2019t entirely unappealing.<\/p>\n Tyler, The Creator, Don\u2019t Tap The Glass<\/p>\n \ufeff<\/p>\n Tyler, The Creator\u2019s last album, Chromakopia<\/a>, was one of our favorites of 2024<\/a>. And though Tyler had been hinting for a while that he was gearing up to drop something this week, a whole new album barely nine months after his last one is still pretty impressive. Don\u2019t Tap The Glass is very much the Tyler, The Creator, show, an all-out summer party record that largely eschews the deeper themes he explored on Chromakopia in favor of fun, danceable tracks. Tyler always finds a way to defy our expectations and keep us on our toes, and Don\u2019t Tap The Glass is no exception.<\/p>\n Far Caspian, Autofiction<\/p>\n \ufeff\ufeff<\/p>\n Autofiction is the third album from Far Caspian, the solo project of Irish musician Joel Johnston. It is, as you might guess from the title, a highly personal album, one that finds Johnston reckoning with his new reality after being diagnosed with Crohn\u2019s disease and dealing with OCD and anxiety. \u201cI\u2019m now at the point where I don\u2019t really let it define me,\u201d Johnston said in a press release. \u201cThe lyric \u2018your mind changed from a fear to a song\u2019 [on \u2018Lough\u2019] is my expression of freedom: to no longer be held down by something you\u2019ve got used to. I\u2019m trying to not even make sense of it all, but just live in it, and be grateful for the things I do have.\u201d Autofiction has a comfortingly hazy \u201990s indie vibe, with lyrics that reflect moments of real triumph.<\/p>\n Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist, Alfredo 2<\/p>\n \ufeff<\/p>\n Alfredo 2 is the follow-up to Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist\u2019s 2020 album Alfredo. It comes less than a year after Gibbs\u2019 last solo album, You Only Die 1nce, released in November 2024. The internet is already losing its mind over Gibbs\u2019 disses of DJ Akademiks and Gunna<\/a> on \u201cLavish Habits,\u201d but he\u2019s spitting fire all over the rest of the record, too. Alfredo earned a nomination for Best Rap Album at the 2021 Grammy Awards, and Alfredo 2 might be even better than the original.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to our weekly music post, where we spotlight our favorite new songs and albums.
