The tenth album by the five-piece band from Kentucky continues its "pattern of inspired yet accessible rock music,"
writes Glide Magazine. "Each song has layers that build upon each other, with little guitar flourishes or pieces of percussion adding nuance to riffs that draw from funk, southern rock, and psychedelic rock."
This is the first release from a new project by Ottawa-based guitarist, songwriter and producer Andre Nault, who's also the artist behind Stand Up And Say No. The pitch is that he's "venturing into new musical territory with his latest indie-rock project." It's too early for us to say how different it will be, but this track seems to be in the same groove as, for example, SU&SN's "Shared Interests."
Stereophonics: Seems Like You Don't Know Me
Here's a preview of the Welsh rock band's 13th album,
Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait. NME writes that the song takes the group "into new territory, experimenting with nostalgic synths, drum machines and acoustic guitar elements to create an eye-catching yet spacious sound. The vocals from Kelly Jones explore the nuances of relationships and the questions that arise about how well we really know one another." (Um... eye-catching sound?)
A mixed - and very amusing - review
in the Irish Times calls the new album
Rushmere "spirited if uneven." It adds that the LP "is at its most enjoyable when the musicians focus on straight-ahead tunefulness, as they do on the single 'Caroline.'" And that's our choice for the New Music bin. (Do yourself a favor and read the snarky-fun review!)
Lucy Dacus: Forever Is A Feeling
This is the title song from the new album by this singer-songwriter from Virginia.
AllMusic describes the LP as "examining 'it's complicated' relationships through an adult lens." The review calls this track "an obvious centerpiece." It includes Dacus' boygenius bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, Blake Mills' bass, Madison Cunningham's 12-string guitar, Melina Duerte's drum programming and synths, Bartees Strange's additional drums, and more. "It temporarily changes keys and passes through several emotional contradictions" as the singer concludes she's in a relationship for the long haul.
