\u201c5 Mile Gyre\u201d spends about 30 seconds thrashing against itself before settling into something like Y2K-era Europop. Then, it\u2019s back to thrashing. After releasing her kooky-cool album Dangerous Animals in 2021, Rodman returned with new music earlier this year with \u201cTSPG69.\u201d\u00a0 With \u201c5 Mile Gyre\u201d now in the mix too, it sounds like we can expect a crunchier, more electronic sound from her next album, SCALD, out on October 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bass Drum Of Death, \u201cNever Gonna Drink About You\u201d<\/p>\n
With their upcoming album Six, Bass Drum Of Death sought to return to the rawness of their first few recordings. \u201cNever Gonna Drink About You\u201d certainly achieves that goal, offering 140 seconds of no-fills power-punk that throws back to the genre\u2019s origins in the 1970s and its resurgence in the 2000s. Six arrives on September 20, the same day the band embarks on a two-month tour covering most of the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n
3 new songs and 3 new albums to check out this weekend<\/a>3 new songs and 3 new albums to check out this weekend<\/a><\/p>\n james K, \u201cIdea.2\u201d<\/p>\n After over a year of releasing singles, musician and producer james K\u2019s album Friend is almost here, but not before one last single comes out. \u201cIdea.2\u201d does what james K does best, looping an ethereal vocal around spacey synths to create an effect that feels both digital and analog. It\u2019s the kind of music that sounds just as good scoring a private walk with your headphones on as it does coming out of speakers that fill a whole room. Friend arrives in full on September 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mac DeMarco, Guitar<\/p>\n It\u2019s been over a decade since Mac DeMarco started to define shoegaze via bedroom pop and thus remade a good chunk of 2010s indie in his image. But it\u2019s been over six years since the last classic DeMarco album, with his interim output consisting of a compilation album and an instrumental album in 2023. The bite-sized pieces of Guitar shared in advance of the album\u2019s release today gesture toward the late-\u201960s\/early-\u201970s melodies of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, with the minimalist support of a plucked electric guitar. Suddenly, the album title makes sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mariah The Scientist, Hearts Sold Separately\u00a0<\/p>\n Mariah The Scientist has a knack for melody and a woozy sense of cadence that stands apart from the rest of her generation of R&B singers. Hearts Sold Separately, the fourth full-length from the Atlanta native, arrives today. Lead single \u201cBurning Blue\u201d is the kind of slow jam that Mariah does best, while the Kali Uchis duet \u201cIs It A Crime\u201d already feels like a trap-soul torch song long before the distorted violins come in. Hearts Sold Separately is a promising end-of-summer arrival, as the nights start to arrive earlier and get longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n Superchunk, Songs In The Key Of Yikes<\/p>\n \ufeff
Their first album in over three years, Superchunk return this week with Songs In The Key Of Yikes. After 12 albums, the band is still in top form, and there are great moments and details across the songs Superchunk released in advance of the album: the quick little shifts in time in \u201cStuck In A Dream,\u201d the new key just for the middle eight in \u201cIs It Making You Feel Something,\u201d the ironically uplifting quality of \u201cNo Hope.\u201d \u201cIt only hurts when I breathe,\u201d Mac McCaughan sings on the Rosali-assisted \u201cBruised Lung,\u201d but he sure sounds fine to us.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to our weekly music post, where we spotlight our favorite new songs and albums.
